Fund Summary

Fund/Class:
Fidelity® California Municipal Income Fund/Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

 

Redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days (as a % of amount redeemed)

0.50%

Annual class operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

<R>Management fee

0.37%</R>

<R>Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees

None</R>

<R>Other expenses

0.10%</R>

<R>Total annual operating expenses

0.47%</R>

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

<R>1 year

$ 48</R>

<R>3 years

$ 151</R>

<R>5 years

$ 263</R>

<R>10 years

$ 591</R>

Portfolio Turnover

<R>The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 15% of the average value of its portfolio.</R>

Principal Investment Strategies

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index designed to represent Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time.
  • Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities.
  • Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
  • Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
  • Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including derivatives.

Principal Investment Risks

  • Municipal Market Volatility. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
  • Geographic Concentration. Unfavorable political or economic conditions within California can affect the credit quality of issuers located in that state.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease.
  • Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance

<R>The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and an additional index over various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the Additional Information about the Indexes section of the prospectus.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The municipal securities in which the fund invests are normally investment-grade (those of medium and high quality). Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes include securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to California personal income tax. Although FMR does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

FMR uses a California bond index as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. This index, a market value-weighted index of California investment-grade fixed-rate municipal bonds, is designed to represent FMR's view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. FMR may, from time to time, change the index or the characteristics of the index in response to changes in the market or the fund's peer group, for example, when the observed interest rate sensitivity or credit composition of the fund's competitive universe deviates from that of the index.

FMR considers other factors when selecting the fund's investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current valuation relative to alternatives in the market, short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and potential future valuation. In managing the fund's exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, FMR considers, among other things, the market's overall risk characteristics, the market's current pricing of those risks, information on the fund's competitive universe and internal views of potential future market conditions.

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the relative value of each sector and maturity.

FMR may engage in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives, regardless of whether the fund may own the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative, and forward-settling securities. FMR may invest a significant portion of the fund's assets in these types of investments.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may invest the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or pre-refunded or escrowed bonds, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters of credit, guarantees, or insurance.

Derivatives are investments whose values are tied to an underlying asset, instrument, or index. Derivatives include futures, options, and swaps, such as interest rate swaps (exchanging a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (exchanging a floating rate for the total return of a security or index) and credit default swaps (buying or selling credit default protection).

Forward-settling securities involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities when issued, or at a predetermined price or yield. Payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates the fund's investments in California, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

The fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.

Prospectus

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Municipal Market Volatility. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market, and market conditions may directly impact the liquidity and valuation of municipal securities.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

<R>Geographic Concentration. California is continuing to experience financial difficulties due to the ongoing economic crisis. The deterioration of California's fiscal situation increases the risk of investing in California municipal securities, including the risk of greater volatility and potential issuer default. Several rating agencies have recently downgraded California's general obligation bond rating. Further downgrades could result in a reduction in the market value of California municipal securities.</R>

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable and the security could decline significantly in value.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

Leverage Risk. Derivatives and forward-settling securities involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. A small change in the underlying asset, instrument, or index can lead to a significant loss. Assets segregated to cover these transactions may decline in value and are not available to meet redemptions. Forward-settling securities also involve the risk that a security will not be issued, delivered, or paid for when anticipated.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance, and the fund could distribute income subject to federal or California personal income tax.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The following policies are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Prospectus

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.

The fund's NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV. Fidelity calculates net asset value separately for each class of shares of a multiple class fund.

NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Shareholder Information

Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares

General Information

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is the largest mutual fund company in the country, and is known as an innovative provider of high-quality financial services to individuals and institutions.

In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).

If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

You may also buy or sell shares of the fund through an investment professional. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may also apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares of the fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

You should include the following information with any order to buy, sell, or exchange shares:

  • Your name;
  • Your account number;
  • Name of fund whose shares you want to buy or sell; and
  • Dollar amount or number of shares you want to buy or sell.

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity, such as by telephone or electronically, may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted based on criteria established by Fidelity.

Excessive Trading Policy

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in the fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Prospectus

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to such transactions exceeding $5,000. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. FMR will apply these policies through a phased implementation. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Qualified Wrap Programs

The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

In addition to these policies, the fund imposes a short-term redemption fee on redemptions from the fund, which is discussed in "Selling Shares." As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of the fund is its NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for (i) investments through Portfolio Advisory Services, (ii) investments through a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, or (iii) fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from a Fidelity systematic withdrawal service. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when fund shares are priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Prospectus

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is its NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable.

If you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days, a 0.50% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount (or, if available, from your account if you have written a check). For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The fees are paid to the fund, not Fidelity, and are designed to help offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term shareholder trading.

The short-term redemption fee does not apply to: (i) redemptions of shares acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions; (ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund, or transfers between classes of a multiple class fund (if applicable) as long as the money never leaves the fund; and (iii) redemptions in kind.

The fund also permits waivers of the short-term redemption fee for the following transactions:

  • Redemptions due to Fidelity fund small balance maintenance fees; and
  • Redemptions related to death or due to a divorce decree.

The application of short-term redemption fees and waivers may vary among intermediaries and certain intermediaries may not apply the waivers listed above. If you purchase or sell fund shares through an intermediary, you should contact your intermediary for more information on whether the short-term redemption fee will be applied to redemptions of your shares.

The fund reserves the right to modify or eliminate the short-term redemption fee or waivers at any time. Investment advisers or their affiliates may pay short-term redemption fees on behalf of investors in managed accounts. Unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets may be treated as a single account for redemption fee purposes.

Fidelity seeks to identify intermediaries that hold fund shares in omnibus accounts and will refuse their purchase orders if they do not agree to track and remit short-term redemption fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. There are no assurances that Fidelity will successfully identify all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess short-term redemption fees.

Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

Shareholder Information - continued

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and submit your request to Fidelity by mail, Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:

  • When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address;
  • When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

  • If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above the required minimum to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
  • Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
  • Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
  • Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
  • If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and you sell shares by writing a check, if available, the NAV and any applicable short-term redemption fee will be determined on the date the check is received. If the amount of the check, plus any applicable fees, is greater than the value of your fund position, your check will be returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.

Prospectus

  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
  • If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and your redemption check remains uncashed for more than one year, the check may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.
  • Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. The fund no longer issues share certificates.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

  • The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
  • Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
  • The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
  • Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
  • If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
  • Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The fund may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums, and may impose redemption fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Policies

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

  • Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).
  • Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in a household holds shares of the fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact Fidelity in writing at P.O. Box 770001, Cincinnati, Ohio 45277-0002.

Prospectus

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

You may also be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000 in shares. It is expected that fund balances will be valued after November 1 but prior to December 31 of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.

If your fund balance falls below $5,000 worth of shares for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV, and you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you after providing you with at least 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.

Shareholder Information - continued

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The fund normally pays capital gain distributions in April and December.

Earning Dividends

The fund processes purchase and redemption requests only on days it is open for business.

Shares generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day of purchase.

Shares generally earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day following the day of redemption.

Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following

distribution options are available for shares of the fund:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Prospectus

If your dividend check(s) remains uncashed for more than six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you.

Taxes on distributions. California Municipal Income seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and California personal income tax.

A portion of the dividends you receive may be subject to federal, state, or local income tax or may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. You may also receive taxable distributions attributable to the fund's sale of municipal bonds.

For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of short-term capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market discount, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while the fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

For California personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of California issuers and from interest on qualifying securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions are generally exempt from tax. Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to California personal income tax.

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as taxable income or a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax or California personal income tax purposes. A return of capital generally will not be taxable to you but will reduce the cost basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a potentially taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal and California personal income tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

<R>Jamie Pagliocco is portfolio manager of the fund, which he has managed since July 2006. He also manages other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 2001, Mr. Pagliocco has worked as a municipal bond trader, assistant fixed income head trader, and portfolio manager.</R>

The statement of additional information (SAI) provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Mr. Pagliocco.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For February 2010, the group fee rate was 0.12%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25%.</R>

<R>The total management fee for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, was 0.37% of the fund's average net assets. Because the fund's management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund's management fee may be higher or lower in the future.</R>

FMR pays FIMM, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services. FMR and its affiliates pay FRAC for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund's annual report for the fiscal period ended February 28, 2009.

Fund Services - continued

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a class's expenses and boost its performance.

Effective August 1, 2002, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the class of shares of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.55%. This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time.

<R> </R>

Fund Distribution

The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

Intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) with respect to its shares that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, service-providers, and administrators, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a class's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.

Senior Securities

The fund may not issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Borrowing

The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.

Underwriting

The fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies.

Concentration

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, Fidelity® Management & Research Company (FMR) identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, FMR may analyze the characteristics of a particular issuer and security and assign an industry or sector classification consistent with those characteristics in the event that the third party classification provider used by FMR does not assign a classification.

Real Estate

The fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).

Commodities

The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).

Loans

The fund may not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

Pooled Funds

The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Diversification

In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits imposed by Subchapter M.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, Subchapter M generally requires the fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that (a) no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities of any one issuer, and (b) the fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter M) and securities of other regulated investment companies. These tax requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, FMR identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

Short Sales

The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts, options, and swaps are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

Margin Purchases

The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

Borrowing

The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of the fundamental borrowing investment limitation).

Illiquid Securities

The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

For purposes of the fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Loans

The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities.

Pooled Funds

The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

In addition to the fund's fundamental and non-fundamental limitations discussed above:

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of purchase contracts, financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by municipalities. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market or short-term bond funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities. A municipal fund's uninvested cash may earn credits that reduce fund expenses.

Central Funds are special types of investment vehicles created by Fidelity for use by the Fidelity funds and other advisory clients. FMR uses central funds to invest in particular security types or investment disciplines, or for cash management. Central funds incur certain costs related to their investment activity (such as custodial fees and expenses), but do not pay additional management fees to Fidelity. The investment results of the portions of the fund's assets invested in the central funds will be based upon the investment results of those funds.

Dollar-Weighted Average Maturity is derived by multiplying the value of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date. When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call an issue of bonds and has established an independent escrow account that is sufficient to, and is pledged to, refund that issue, the number of days to maturity for the prerefunded bond is considered to be the number of days to the announced call date of the bonds.

Duration of a bond is a measure of the approximate sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rates. Duration is expressed in years. Except for zero coupon bonds, duration is generally shorter than maturity because much of a bond's return consists of interest paid prior to the maturity date. Bonds with longer durations usually have more interest rate sensitivity and price volatility than bonds with shorter durations. Typically, if a bond had a duration of 5 years and interest rates rose 1%, the market value of the bond would decline 5%.

<R>Futures, Options, and Swaps. The success of any strategy involving futures, options, and swaps depends on an adviser's analysis of many economic and mathematical factors and a fund's return may be higher if it never invested in such instruments. Additionally, some of the contracts discussed below are new instruments without a trading history and there can be no assurance that a market for the instruments will continue to exist. Future government legislation or regulation of derivatives could affect the fund's use of such instruments and could limit the ability of the fund to pursue its investment strategies.</R>

<R>Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index, and some are based on Eurodollars. Futures on indices and futures not calling for physical delivery of the underlying instrument will be settled through cash payments rather than through delivery of the underlying instrument. Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out by offsetting purchases or sales of futures contracts before then if a liquid market is available. The fund may realize a gain or loss by closing out its futures contracts.</R>

Positions in Eurodollar futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

<R>The purchaser or seller of a futures contract or an option for a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument or the final cash settlement price, as applicable, unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. This process of "marking to market" will be reflected in the daily calculation of open positions computed in a fund's net asset value per share (NAV). The party that has a gain is entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund. A fund is required to segregate liquid assets equivalent to the fund's outstanding obligations under the contract in excess of the initial margin and variation margin, if any.</R>

<R>There is no assurance a liquid market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. Exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or other market conditions, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its futures positions could also be impaired. These risks may be heightened for commodity futures contracts, which have historically been subject to greater price volatility than exists for instruments such as stocks and bonds.</R>

Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

<R>Futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments. In addition, the price of a commodity futures contract can reflect the storage costs associated with the purchase of the physical commodity.</R>

<R>Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific assets or securities, indices of securities or commodities prices, and futures contracts (including commodity futures contracts). The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.</R>

<R>The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if the underlying instrument's price falls substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).</R>

<R>The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if the underlying instrument's price falls. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if the underlying instrument's price does not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.</R>

The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay or receive the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

<R>If the underlying instrument's price rises, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If the underlying instrument's price remains the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If the underlying instrument's price falls, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.</R>

<R>Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument or make a net cash settlement payment, as applicable, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price increase. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument or make a net cash settlement payment, as applicable, in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.</R>

There is no assurance a liquid market will exist for any particular options contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options positions could also be impaired.

Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally are less liquid and involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are backed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Combined positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

A fund may also buy and sell options on swaps. Options on interest rate swaps are known as swaptions. An option on a swap gives a party the right to enter into a new swap agreement or to extend, shorten, cancel or modify an existing swap contract at a specific date in the future in exchange for a premium.

Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

<R>Swap Agreements. Swaps are individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. Swap agreements can vary in term like other fixed-income investments. Most swap agreements are traded over-the-counter. In a standard "swap" transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments (such as securities, commodities, or indices). The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, which is the predetermined dollar principal of the trade representing the hypothetical underlying quantity upon which payment obligations are computed.</R>

<R>Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names, including interest rate swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for a fixed rate), asset swaps (where parties combine the purchase or sale of a bond with an interest rate swap), total return swaps and credit default swaps. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield. Swap agreements are subject to liquidity risk, meaning that a fund may be unable to sell a swap contract to a third party at a favorable price.</R>

<R>A total return swap is a contract whereby one party agrees to make a series of payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying such contract (which can include a security, commodity, index or baskets thereof) during the specified period. In exchange, the other party to the contract agrees to make a series of payments calculated by reference to an interest rate and/or some other agreed-upon amount (including the change in market value of other underlying assets). A fund may use total return swaps to gain exposure to an asset without owning it or taking physical custody of it. For example, a fund investing in total return commodity swaps will receive the price appreciation of a commodity, commodity index or portion thereof in exchange for payment of an agreed-upon fee.</R>

In a credit default swap, the credit default protection buyer makes periodic payments, known as premiums, to the credit default protection seller. In return the credit default protection seller will make a payment to the credit default protection buyer upon the occurrence of a specified credit event. A credit default swap can refer to a single issuer or asset, a basket of issuers or assets or index of assets, each known as the reference entity or underlying asset. A fund may act as either the buyer or the seller of a credit default swap. A fund may buy or sell credit default protection on a basket of issuers or assets, even if a number of the underlying assets referenced in the basket are lower-quality debt securities. In an unhedged credit default swap, a fund buys credit default protection on a single issuer or asset, a basket of issuers or assets or index of assets without owning the underlying asset or debt issued by the reference entity. Credit default swaps involve greater and different risks than investing directly in the referenced asset, because, in addition to market risk, credit default swaps include liquidity, counterparty and operational risk.

Credit default swaps allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer, asset or basket of assets. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. If the fund is the credit default protection seller, the fund will experience a loss if a credit event occurs and the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has deteriorated. If the fund is the credit default protection buyer, the fund will be required to pay premiums to the credit default protection seller. In the case of a physically settled credit default swap in which the fund is the protection seller, the fund must be prepared to pay par for and take possession of debt of a defaulted issuer delivered to the fund by the credit default protection buyer. Any loss would be offset by the premium payments the fund receives as the seller of credit default protection.

If the creditworthiness of the fund's swap counterparty declines, the risk that the counterparty may not perform could increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. To limit the counterparty risk involved in swap agreements, the fund will only enter into swap agreements with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or another creditworthy party. The fund may have limited ability to eliminate its exposure under a credit default swap if the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has declined.

Swap agreements generally are entered into by "eligible participants" and in compliance with certain other criteria necessary to render them excluded from regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and, therefore not subject to regulation as futures or commodity option transactions under the CEA.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, various factors may be considered, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic. Indexed securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments that depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon rates or principal payments may change by several percentage points for every 1% interest rate change.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates; however, municipal funds currently intend to participate in this program only as borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Interfund borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.

Inverse Floaters have variable interest rates that typically move in the opposite direction from movements in prevailing short-term interest rate levels - rising when prevailing short-term interest rates fall, and falling when short-term interest rates rise. The prices of inverse floaters can be considerably more volatile than the prices of other investments with comparable maturities and/or credit quality.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by a credit rating agency registered as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) with the SEC (for example, Moody's® Investors Service, Inc.), or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Municipal Insurance. A municipal bond may be covered by insurance that guarantees the bond's scheduled payment of interest and repayment of principal. This type of insurance may be obtained by either (i) the issuer at the time the bond is issued (primary market insurance), or (ii) another party after the bond has been issued (secondary market insurance).

Both primary and secondary market insurance guarantee timely and scheduled repayment of all principal and payment of all interest on a municipal bond in the event of default by the issuer, and cover a municipal bond to its maturity, typically enhancing its credit quality and value.

Municipal bond insurance does not insure against market fluctuations or fluctuations in a fund's share price. In addition, a municipal bond insurance policy will not cover: (i) repayment of a municipal bond before maturity (redemption), (ii) prepayment or payment of an acceleration premium (except for a mandatory sinking fund redemption) or any other provision of a bond indenture that advances the maturity of the bond, or (iii) nonpayment of principal or interest caused by negligence or bankruptcy of the paying agent. A mandatory sinking fund redemption may be a provision of a municipal bond issue whereby part of the municipal bond issue may be retired before maturity.

Because a significant portion of the municipal securities issued and outstanding is insured by a small number of insurance companies, not all of which have the highest credit rating, an event involving one or more of these insurance companies could have a significant adverse effect on the value of the securities insured by that insurance company and on the municipal markets as a whole. Ratings of insured bonds reflect the credit rating of the insurer, based on the rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of the insurer and its ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the time of the assessment. While the obligation of a municipal bond insurance company to pay a claim extends over the life of an insured bond, there is no assurance that municipal bond insurers will meet their claims. A higher-than-anticipated default rate on municipal bonds or in connection with other insurance the insurer provides could strain the insurer's loss reserves and adversely affect its ability to pay claims to bondholders.

FMR may decide to retain an insured municipal bond that is in default, or, in FMR's view, in significant risk of default. While a fund holds a defaulted, insured municipal bond, the fund collects interest payments from the insurer and retains the right to collect principal from the insurer when the municipal bond matures, or in connection with a mandatory sinking fund redemption.

Municipal Leases and participation interests therein may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally, a fund will not hold these obligations directly as a lessor of the property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest gives the purchaser a specified, undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the issue.

Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations. If a municipality stops making payments or transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable.

Municipal Market Disruption Risk. The value of municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced before the California legislature that would affect the state tax treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a municipal fund's holdings would be affected, and the Trustees would reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund.

Education. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds: those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans. Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal funding. Among the factors that may lead to declining or insufficient revenues are restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and federal funding, and general economic conditions. Student loan revenue bonds are generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or commissions and are backed by pools of student loans. Underlying student loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and may be subject to reimbursement by the United States Department of Education through its guaranteed student loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans made to parents or students which are supported by reserves or other forms of credit enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student repayment deferral periods of forbearance. Other risks associated with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes in federal legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency reimbursement and continued federal interest and other program subsidies currently in effect.

Electric Utilities. The electric utilities industry has been experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability and cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand, (d) the effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and licensing requirements, and other federal, state, and local regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and (f) opposition to nuclear power.

Health Care. The health care industry is subject to regulatory action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal, state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations: adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program; other state or local health care reform measures; medical and technological advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the way in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage which alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of health insurance and health care services.

Housing. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state, county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased with the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to predict the supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the proceeds of an issue or the future cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Consequently, there are risks that proceeds will exceed supply, resulting in early retirement of bonds, or that homeowner repayments will create an irregular cash flow. Many factors may affect the financing of multi-family housing projects, including acceptable completion of construction, proper management, occupancy and rent levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws and regulations.

Transportation. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of the airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who uses the airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader economic trends and is also affected by the price and availability of fuel. Toll road bonds are also affected by the cost and availability of fuel as well as toll levels, the presence of competing roads and the general economic health of an area. Fuel costs and availability also affect other transportation-related securities, as do the presence of alternate forms of transportation, such as public transportation.

Water and Sewer. Water and sewer revenue bonds are often considered to have relatively secure credit as a result of their issuer's importance, monopoly status, and generally unimpeded ability to raise rates. Despite this, lack of water supply due to insufficient rain, run-off, or snow pack is a concern that has led to past defaults. Further, public resistance to rate increases, costly environmental litigation, and Federal environmental mandates are challenges faced by issuers of water and sewer bonds.

Put Features entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Demand features and standby commitments are types of put features.

Refunding Contracts. Securities may be purchased on a when-issued basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and a purchaser to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future. A purchaser generally will not be obligated to pay the full purchase price if the issuer fails to perform under a refunding contract. Instead, refunding contracts generally provide for payment of liquidated damages to the issuer. A purchaser may secure its obligations under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a letter of credit equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the refunding contract.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their NAV. Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies may be limited by federal securities laws.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, swaps, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the issuer or the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase or hold a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, factors considered may include whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the issuer and/or entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

Standby Commitments are puts that entitle holders to same-day settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise. A fund may acquire standby commitments to enhance the liquidity of portfolio securities.

Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third party, although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a third party at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments separate from or in conjunction with the purchase of securities subject to such commitments. In the latter case, the fund would pay a higher price for the securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to maturity.

Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or other guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand. FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining whether to purchase an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate public information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's ability to honor its credit commitment.

Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the ability of issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the time the commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments are not generally marketable; and the possibility that the maturities of the underlying securities may be different from those of the commitments.

Structured Notes are derivative debt securities, the interest rate or principal of which is determined by an unrelated indicator. A structured note may be positively, negatively or both positively and negatively indexed; that is, its value or interest rate may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument increases. Similarly, its value may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument decreases. Further, the change in the principal amount payable with respect to, or the interest rate of, a structured note may be a multiple of the percentage change (positive or negative) in the value of the underlying reference instrument(s). Structured or indexed securities may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities.

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash, or to invest more than normally permitted in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.

Tender Option Bonds are created by depositing intermediate- or long-term, fixed-rate or variable rate, municipal bonds into a trust and issuing two classes of trust interests (or "certificates") with varying economic interests to investors. Holders of the first class of trust interests, or floating rate certificates, receive tax-exempt interest based on short-term rates and may tender the certificate to the trust at par. As consideration for providing the tender option, the trust sponsor (typically a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees. The trust pays the holders of the floating rate certificates from proceeds of a remarketing of the certificates or from a draw on a liquidity facility provided by the sponsor. A fund investing in a floating rate certificate effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. The floating rate certificate is typically an eligible security for money market funds. Holders of the second class of interests, sometimes called the residual income certificates, are entitled to any tax-exempt interest received by the trust that is not payable to floating rate certificate holders, and bear the risk that the underlying municipal bonds decline in value. In selecting tender option bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond deposited in the trust, the experience of the custodian, and the quality of the sponsor providing the tender option. In certain instances, the tender option may be terminated if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.

Transfer Agent Bank Accounts. Proceeds from shareholder purchases of a fund pass through a series of demand deposit bank accounts before being held at the fund's custodian. Redemption proceeds will pass from the custodian to the shareholder through a similar series of bank accounts.

The bank accounts are registered to the transfer agent or an affiliate, who acts as an agent for the fund when opening, closing and conducting business in the bank accounts. The transfer agent or an affiliate may invest overnight balances in the accounts in repurchase agreements. Any balances that are not invested in repurchase agreements remain in the bank accounts overnight. Any risks associated with these accounts are investment risks of the fund. The fund faces the risk of loss of these balances if the bank becomes insolvent.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate or the issuer's credit quality. Some variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.

In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender options or demand features that permit the holder to tender (or put) the bonds to an institution at periodic intervals and to receive the principal amount thereof. Variable rate instruments structured in this fashion are considered to be essentially equivalent to other variable rate securities. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on these instruments is tax-exempt. Fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third party puts and participation interests in such bonds held by a bank in trust or otherwise may have similar features.

When-Issued and Forward Purchase or Sale Transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding, the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in capital gains or losses for the fund.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

<R>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CALIFORNIA</R>

<R>The following section provides only a summary of (and does not purport to explain, predict, or fully describe) the complex factors, including both economic and political conditions, affecting the financial situation in the State of California (as used in this section, the "State") and is based on information in publicly available documents. This information has not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change rapidly, substantially, and without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the State or its issuers since the date of its preparation. Any such change(s) may adversely affect the State's and applicable issuer's cash flows, expenditures, or revenues, or otherwise negatively impact the current or projected State financial situation, which in turn could hamper fund performance.</R>

<R>Further, the marketability, valuation or liquidity of State municipal securities may be negatively affected in the event that State localities or authorities default on their debt obligations or other market events arise, which in turn may negatively affect fund performance, sometimes substantially. Economic and other conditions within the State may affect the credit risk of those localities or authorities to the extent that such localities and authorities are reliant upon State appropriations. In addition, the difficulties encountered by bond insurers in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis and other credit and overall market events may continue to impact municipal securities negatively, and the full effects of these events remain uncertain.</R>

<R>Overview of State Economy</R>

<R>California's economy, the largest among the 50 states, has major components in high technology, trade, entertainment, agriculture, manufacturing, government, tourism, construction, and services. The relative proportion of the various components of the California economy closely resembles the make-up of the national economy, and as a result events which negatively affect such industries may have a similar impact on the State and national economies.</R>

<R>In the Governor's proposed budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year, released on January 8, 2010 (2010-11 Governor's Budget), the California Department of Finance (Department of Finance) projected that the State's economy started to recover from the recession in the latter part of calendar year 2009, but that the State would suffer continued job losses in calendar year 2010. As of December 2009, the State's unemployment rate was 12.4%, compared to 10% for the nation as a whole for the same period.</R>

<R>Current Economic Conditions</R>

<R>Since the start of calendar year 2008, the State has experienced the most significant economic downturn and financial pressure since the Great Depression of the 1930s. As a result of continuing weakness in the State economy, State tax revenues have declined precipitously, resulting in large budget gaps and cash shortfalls. The California Legislature and the California Governor adopted three major budget plans, covering both the 2008-09 and 2009-10 fiscal years, in less than 11 months, utilizing approximately $60 billion in budget solutions, in response to continuing deterioration in the State's fiscal condition. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget estimated a new budget gap of $19.9 billion, of which $6.6 billion is estimated to be attributable to the 2009-10 fiscal year. The major reasons for the new budget gap included continued deterioration of revenues, certain federal and state court decisions, and failure to achieve all the budget solutions and savings expected from previously-enacted budgets. The Governor proposed a large number of steps to close this gap, consisting principally of expenditure reductions, seeking additional aid from the Federal government, various shifts in funding responsibilities and new revenue sources. The Governor declared a fiscal emergency and called a special session of the Legislature beginning January 8, 2010, to address budget solutions. The special session is described in more detail below under "March 2010 Special Session."</R>

<R>The sharp drop in revenues in fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10 also resulted in a significant depletion of cash resources to pay the State's obligations. For a period of one month beginning in February 2009, the State deferred making certain payments from the State's General Fund (General Fund) in order to conserve cash resources for high priority obligations, such as education and debt service. As new budget gaps were identified, the State's cash resources became so depleted that, commencing July 2, 2009, the State Controller (Controller) began to issue registered warrants (IOUs) for certain lower priority obligations in lieu of checks which could be immediately cashed. In late August 2009, the state called all $2.6 billion of its outstanding IOUs for redemption on September 4, 2009. This was only the second issuance of IOUs by the State since the 1930s.</R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget and the Controller projected continuing cash pressures during fiscal year 2010-11. Legislation enacted during the fiscal emergency special session in early March 2010 may provide the State with authority to defer certain payments to help the State avoid cash flow difficulties during the 2010-11 fiscal year. However, absent further corrective action by the Legislature and timely adoption of a fiscal year 2010-11 budget, a cash flow shortage in fiscal year 2010-11 may require the issuance of IOUs. </R>

<R>There can be no assurances that the fiscal stress and cash pressures currently facing the state will not continue or become more difficult, or that continuing declines in State tax receipts or other impacts of the current economic situation will not further materially adversely affect the financial condition of the State. The Department of Finance projects that multi-billion dollar budget gaps will occur annually though at least fiscal year 2013-14 without further corrective action. </R>

<R>In addition, the pension funds managed by the State's principal retirement systems, the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the California State Teachers' Retirement System, have sustained significant investment losses during the economic downturn and face unfunded actuarial liabilities which will require increased contributions from the General Fund in future years. The State also has an unfunded liability relating to retirees' post-employment healthcare benefits which is estimated to be $51.8 billion as of June 30, 2009.</R>

<R>The expenditure reductions and extraordinary pressures on the State budget in recent years have resulted in continuing fiscal pressures on local governments throughout the State. Several years of budget borrowing from transportation funds have left many State and local transportation construction projects without adequate funds. The current economic slowdown and projected reductions in State aid have left many local governments with substantial budget deficits, resulting in reductions in payroll and services. </R>

<R>There is no assurance that any California issuer will make full or timely payments of principal or interest or remain solvent. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by local California issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State, and there is no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.</R>

<R>The economic forecasts of the Department of Finance, the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO), and the Controller are prepared using national economic activity forecasts; major national and California economic indicators; revenue estimates; legislative, judicial and administrative changes; and recent cash results.</R>

<R>General Risks</R>

<R>Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the State's economy and finances. Such factors may affect the State's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the performance of the national and State economies; (ii) the receipt of revenues below projections; (iii) a delay in or an inability of the State to implement budget solutions as a result of current or future litigation; (iv) an inability to implement all planned expenditure reductions; and (v) actions taken by the Federal government, including audits, disallowances, and changes in aid levels. </R>

<R>These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the State's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the State budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the State's and municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.</R>

<R>Recent Events in the Municipal Bond Market</R>

<R>A significant number of auction rate municipal bonds have failed to attract buyers, resulting in "failed auctions" and a resetting of the periodic rates to rates in excess of those which would otherwise prevail in the short-term market. The failed auctions have affected municipal issuers throughout the United States and its territories and reflect concerns relating to bond insurers that have insured those bonds as well as changes in the operation of the auction rate itself. As a result of these failed auctions, governmental issuers are experiencing significantly higher debt service costs on auction rate bonds and bondholders are experiencing less liquidity than had been anticipated. The duration of the disruption in the auction rate securities market cannot be predicted at this time. In addition, the value of municipal securities may be difficult to measure in the current or a future market environment, as current valuation, significantly affected by external forces, may not reflect the intrinsic, underlying value of State municipal securities. Should the State or municipalities fail to sell bonds when and at the rates projected, the State could experience significantly increased costs in the General Fund and a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year. </R>

<R>Constitutional Limitations on Taxes, Other Charges and Appropriations</R>

<R>Limitation on Property Taxes. Certain California debt obligations may be obligations of issuers which rely in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on ad valorem property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing powers of California local governments and districts are limited by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly known as "Proposition 13." Briefly, Article XIIIA limits the rate of ad valorem property taxes to 1% of full cash value of real property and generally restricts the reassessment of property to 2% per year, except upon new construction or change of ownership (subject to a number of exemptions). Taxing entities may, however, raise ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit to pay debt service on voter-approved bonded indebtedness.</R>

<R>Under Article XIIIA, the basic 1% ad valorem tax levy is applied against the assessed value of property as of the owner's date of acquisition (or as of March 1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments. This system has resulted in widely varying amounts of tax on similarly situated properties. Several lawsuits were filed challenging the acquisition-based assessment system of Proposition 13, but it was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 1992.</R>

<R>Article XIIIA prohibits local governments from raising revenues through ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit; it also requires voters of any governmental unit to give two-thirds approval to levy any "special tax" (a tax devoted to a specific purpose). </R>

<R>Limitations on Other Taxes, Fees and Charges. On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, called the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local agencies to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.</R>

<R>Article XIIIC requires that all new or increased local taxes be submitted to the voters before they become effective. Taxes for general governmental purposes require a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes require a two-thirds vote.</R>

<R>Article XIIID contains several provisions which make it generally more difficult for local agencies to levy and maintain "assessments" for municipal services and programs. Article XIIID also contains several provisions affecting "fees" and "charges", defined for purposes of Article XIIID to mean "any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed by a local government upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user fee or charge for a property related service." All new and existing property related fees and charges must conform to requirements prohibiting, among other things, fees and charges which generate revenues exceeding the funds required to provide the property related service or are used for unrelated purposes. Article XIIID contains notice, hearing and protest procedures for levying or increasing property related fees and charges, and, except for fees or charges for sewer, water and refuse collection services (or fees for electrical and gas service, which are not treated as "property related" for purposes of Article XIIID), no property related fee or charge may be imposed or increased without majority approval by the property owners subject to the fee or charge or, at the option of the local agency, two-thirds voter approval by the electorate residing in the affected area.</R>

<R>In addition to the provisions described above, Article XIIIC removes limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Consequently, local voters could, by future initiative, repeal, reduce or prohibit the future imposition or increase of any local tax, assessment, fee or charge. It is unclear how this right of local initiative may be used in cases where taxes or charges have been or will be specifically pledged to secure debt issues.</R>

<R>The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of matters, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such cases.</R>

<R>Appropriations Limits. The State and its local governments are subject to an annual "appropriations limit" imposed by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1979 and significantly amended by Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Article XIIIB prohibits the State or any covered local government from spending "appropriations subject to limitation" in excess of the appropriations limit imposed. "Appropriations subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which consist of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees, to the extent that such proceeds exceed the cost of providing the product or service, but "proceeds of taxes" exclude most State subventions to local governments. No limit is imposed on appropriations of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds.</R>

<R>Among the expenditures not included in the Article XIIIB appropriations limit are: (i) the debt service cost of bonds issued or authorized prior to January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, (ii) appropriations to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government, (iii) appropriations for certain capital outlay projects, (iv) appropriations by the State of post-1989 increases in gasoline taxes and vehicle weight fees, and (v) appropriations made in certain cases of emergency.</R>

<R>The appropriations limit for each year is adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population, and any transfers of service responsibilities between government units. The definitions for such adjustments were liberalized in 1990 to follow more closely growth in the State's economy.</R>

<R>"Excess" revenues are measured over a two year cycle. Local governments must return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. The State must refund 50% of any excess, with the other 50% paid to schools and community colleges. Local governments may by voter approval exceed their spending limits for up to four years.</R>

<R>According to the Department of Finance, the State was approximately $16.9 billion and $31.6 billion below the appropriations limit in fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively. The Department of Finance estimates that the State will be approximately $23.1 billion and $20.8 billion below its appropriations limit in fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11, respectively.</R>

<R>Because of the complex nature of Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution, the ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in their terms, and the impossibility of predicting future appropriations or changes in population and cost of living, and the probability of continuing legal challenges, it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of these Articles on California debt obligations or on the ability of the State or local governments to pay debt service on such California debt obligations. It is not possible, at the present time, to predict the outcome of any pending litigation with respect to the ultimate scope, impact or constitutionality of these Articles or the impact of any such determinations upon State agencies or local governments, or upon their ability to pay debt service on their obligations. Further initiatives or legislative changes in laws or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of the State or local issuers to repay their obligations.</R>

<R>Obligations of the State</R>

<R>The State Treasurer (Treasurer) is responsible for the sale of most debt obligations of the State and its various authorities.</R>

<R>General Obligation Bonds. General obligation bonds are typically authorized for infrastructure and other capital improvements at the State and local level. Under the California Constitution, debt service on outstanding general obligation bonds is the second charge to the General Fund after support of the public school system and public institutions of higher education.</R>

<R>As of February 1, 2010, the State had outstanding approximately $72.9 billion aggregate principal amount of long-term general obligation bonds, of which approximately $63.4 billion were payable primarily from the General Fund, and approximately $9.5 billion were self-liquidating bonds payable first from other special revenue funds. As of February 1, 2010, there were unused voter authorizations for the future issuance of approximately $48.8 billion of long-term general obligation bonds, some of which may be first issued as commercial paper notes. Of this unissued amount, approximately $1.3 billion is for general obligation bonds payable first from other revenue sources. </R>

<R>General Fund Debt Ratio. Between November 2006 and August 2009, voters and the legislature authorized more than $60 billion of new general obligation bonds and lease revenue bonds, which are paid solely from the General Fund. This new authorization substantially increased the current amount of such General Fund-supported debt outstanding to more than $72 billion, while still leaving authorized and unissued approximately $58 billion of such bonds as of February 1, 2010. In order to address the expenditure needs for these new authorizations, along with those which existed prior to 2006, the State increased the volume of issuance of both of these categories of bonds substantially, compared to previous years, starting in fiscal year 2007-08.</R>

<R>Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertainties about the State's budget condition caused significant disruptions in the State's bond issuance program during fiscal year 2008-09. Because of these factors, the State did not issue any new general obligation bonds between July 2008 and March 2009. In March 2009, the State issued $6.54 billion of new tax-exempt bonds, the largest new money general obligation bond issue in the State's history (excluding Economic Recovery Bonds (ERBs)). A few weeks later, the State issued $6.86 billion of federally taxable general obligation bonds in reliance on new federal rules. A significant part of the revenue raised from these offerings was used to retire internal borrowings that had been used to fund construction projects. An additional $6.546 billion of tax exempt and taxable general obligation bonds were issued in the fall of 2009, together with $1.549 billion of lease revenue bonds.</R>

<R>Although a record of approximately $20 billion of general obligation bonds was offered during calendar year 2009, the scale of issuances is projected to be much lower in calendar year 2010. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget projects issuance of approximately $13.2 billion of general obligation and lease revenue bonds in fiscal year 2010-11. </R>

<R>In light of the drop in General Fund revenues since fiscal year 2007-08, and the projections of new bond sales in the future, the ratio of debt service on general obligation, lease revenue, and Proposition 1A bonds supported by the General Fund to annual General Fund revenues and transfers (General Fund Debt Ratio) is expected to increase in future years. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget estimates that in fiscal year 2009-10, the General Fund Debt Ratio is estimated to equal approximately 6.91%. Through fiscal year 2013-14, the State's General Fund Debt Ratio is projected to peak at 10.47% in fiscal year 2012-2013, the year that the Proposition 1A bonds mature. </R>

<R>The deterioration of the State's fiscal situation increases the risk of investing in California municipal securities, including the risk of potential issuer default, and also heightens the risk that the prices of California municipal securities held by a fund will experience greater volatility.</R>

<R>Non-Recourse Obligations</R>

<R>Certain State agencies and authorities issue obligations secured or payable from specified revenue streams, including transportation projects, various public works projects, and public and private educational facilities. These obligations are not payable from the General Fund and carry different ratings than the State's general obligation bonds. State agencies and authorities had approximately $56 billion aggregate principal amount of revenue bonds and notes which are non-recourse to the General Fund outstanding as of December 31, 2009. None of these revenue bonds is backed by the State's faith and credit or taxing power.</R>

<R>Obligations of Other Issuers</R>

<R>Other Issuers of California Debt Obligations. There are a number of State agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions of the State that issue municipal obligations, some of which may be conduit revenue obligations payable from payments from private borrowers. These entities are subject to various economic risks and uncertainties, and the credit quality of the securities issued by them may vary considerably from the credit quality of obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.</R>

<R>State Assistance. Property tax revenues received by local governments declined more than 50% following passage of Proposition 13. Subsequently, the Legislature enacted measures to provide for the redistribution of the General Fund's surplus to local agencies, the reallocation of certain State revenues to local agencies and the assumption of certain governmental functions by the State to assist municipal issuers to raise revenues. Total local assistance from the General Fund has been budgeted at approximately 75% of General Fund expenditures in recent years, including the effect of implementing reductions in certain aid programs. To reduce State General Fund support for school districts, the 1992-93 and 1993-94 Budget Acts caused local governments to transfer $3.9 billion of property tax revenues to school districts, representing loss of the post-Proposition 13 "bailout" aid. Local governments have in return received greater revenues and greater flexibility to operate health and welfare programs.</R>

<R>The enactment of Proposition 1A in November 2004 substantially changed the ability of the State to use local government taxing sources to aid the State budget. See "State-Local Fiscal Relations" below. </R>

<R>In 1997, a new program provided for the State to substantially take over funding for local trial courts (saving cities and counties some $400 million annually). In recent years, the State has provided over $350 million to support local law enforcement costs.</R>

<R>To the extent the State should be constrained by its Article XIIIB appropriations limit, or its obligation to conform to Proposition 98, or other fiscal considerations, the absolute level, or the rate of growth, of State assistance to local governments may continue to be reduced. Any such reductions in State aid could compound the serious fiscal constraints already experienced by many local governments, particularly counties. The recent economic slowdown in the State, with its corresponding reduction in State and local revenues, will put additional pressure on local government finances in the coming years.</R>

<R>Counties and cities may face further budgetary pressures as a result of changes in welfare and public assistance programs, which were enacted in August, 1997 in order to comply with the federal welfare reform law. Generally, counties play a large role in the new system, and are given substantial flexibility to develop and administer programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce. Counties are also given financial incentives if either at the county or Statewide level, the "Welfare-to-Work" programs exceed minimum targets; counties are also subject to financial penalties for failure to meet such targets. Counties remain responsible to provide "general assistance" for able-bodied indigents who are ineligible for other welfare programs.</R>

<R>Local governments are facing substantial increases in future pension liabilities and health care costs for retirees, and increases in current contribution rates, as a result of (a) generous new retirements benefits granted to employees during recent economic boom times, and (b) reduced earnings resulting from stock market declines.</R>

<R>Assessment Bonds. California assessment bonds may be adversely affected by a general decline in real estate values or a slowdown in real estate sales activity. In many cases, such bonds are secured by land which is undeveloped at the time of issuance but anticipated to be developed within a few years after issuance. In the event of such reduction or slowdown, such development may not occur or may be delayed, thereby increasing the risk of a default on the bonds. Because the special assessments or taxes securing these bonds are not the personal liability of the owners of the property assessed, the lien on the property is the only security for the bonds. Moreover, in most cases the issuer of these bonds is not required to make payments on the bonds in the event of delinquency in the payment of assessments or taxes, except from amounts, if any, in a reserve fund established for the bonds.</R>

<R>California Long-Term Lease Obligations. Based on a series of court decisions, certain long-term lease obligations, though typically payable from the general fund of the State or a municipality, are not considered "indebtedness" requiring voter approval. Such leases, however, are subject to "abatement" in the event the facility being leased is unavailable for beneficial use and occupancy by the municipality during the term of the lease. Abatement is not a default, and there may be no remedies available to the holders of the certificates evidencing the lease obligation in the event abatement occurs. The most common cases of abatement are failure to complete construction of the facility before the end of the period during which lease payments have been capitalized and uninsured casualty losses to the facility (e.g., due to earthquake). In the event abatement occurs with respect to a lease obligation, lease payments may be interrupted (if all available insurance proceeds and reserves are exhausted) and the certificates may not be paid when due. Although litigation is brought from time to time which challenges the constitutionality of such lease arrangements, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling in August, 1998 which reconfirmed the legality of these financing methods.</R>

<R>2009-10 Budget</R>

<R>Background. The State's budget for fiscal year 2009-10 was enacted in an unusual sequence. The Budget Act for the 2008-09 fiscal year (2008 Budget Act) was one of the latest ever enacted, having been delayed until mid-September 2008 as the result of the difficulty balancing the budget with reduced revenues, as declining economic conditions were already evident. The 2008 Budget Act, however, was based on revenue assumptions made in the spring of 2008, which proved to be overstated by the time the actual revenue results for September 2008 and October 2008 were received. With the financial market deterioration in September 2008, which resulted in massive federal assistance and caused large drops in stock market and other asset values and reductions in consumer spending, projections of tax revenues, which are heavily dependent on capital gains taxes and sales taxes, had to be dramatically reduced. In November 2008, the Governor announced that the 2008-09 fiscal year budget would be billions of dollars out of balance, and called several special sessions of the Legislature to enact corrective actions.</R>

<R>A compromise was not reached until February 2009. At that time, the February 2009 Budget Package was enacted, which included modifications to the 2008 Budget Act and the enactment, more than four months early, of a full budget act for fiscal year 2009-10. </R>

<R>Initial 2009 Budget Act. The Initial 2009 Budget Act was adopted by the Legislature on February 19, 2009, along with a number of implementing measures, and signed by the Governor on February 20, 2009. The Initial 2009 Budget Act enacted $36 billion in solutions to what was then estimated to be a $42 billion General Fund budget gap. It also provided for five budget-related measures that would have provided an estimated $6 billion in additional budget solutions. However, these measures were all rejected by voters at a May 19, 2009 special election.</R>

<R>After adoption of the Initial 2009 Budget Act, the State continued to experience significant declines in revenues and other financial pressures. On May 14, 2009, the Governor released a revision to the Initial 2009 Budget Act. Together with subsequent revisions, the 2009-10 May Revision identified further budget shortfalls through the 2009-10 fiscal year of approximately $24 billion.</R>

<R>Amended 2009 Budget Act. On July 24, 2009, the Legislature approved amendments to the Initial 2009 Budget Act and the Governor signed the Amended 2009 Budget Act on July 28, 2009. The Amended 2009 Budget Act included another $24 billion in solutions designed to address the further deterioration of the State's fiscal situation identified in the 2009-10 May Revision.</R>

<R>Under the Amended 2009 Budget Act, General Fund revenues and transfers were projected to increase 6.4%, from a revised $84.1 billion in fiscal year 2008-09 to $89.5 billion in fiscal year 2009-10. A significant element of this increase was projected to come from certain new revenue sources implemented in February 2008. The Amended 2009 Budget Act contained General Fund appropriations of $84.6 billion in fiscal year 2009-10, compared to $91.5 billion in fiscal year 2008-09, a 7.5% decrease. The June 30, 2010 total reserve was projected to be $500 million as compared to the revised June 30, 2009 reserve of negative $4.5 billion.</R>

<R>2010-11 Proposed Governor's Budget</R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget, released on January 8, 2010, revises various revenue and expenditure estimates for fiscal year 2009-10 and proposes to solve the estimated $19.9 billion budget gap by the end of fiscal year 2010-11 with a combination of spending reductions, alternative funding, fund shifts, and additional federal funds.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2009-10 Revised Estimates in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget revised various revenue and expenditures estimates for fiscal year 2009-10. It projects that the State will end fiscal year 2009-10 with a negative reserve of $5.4 billion, compared to the estimate of $500 million reserve at the time of the Amended 2009 Budget Act.</R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget reflects a net decrease of $2.476 billion in revenues available from prior years at the start of fiscal year 2009-10. As of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, General Fund revenues and transfers for fiscal year 2009-10 are projected to be $88.1 billion, a decrease of $1.457 billion compared with Amended 2009 Budget Act estimates. Also under the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2009-10 are projected at $86.1 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion compared with the Amended Budget Act estimates. This increase in expenditures (which is net of a decrease in Proposition 98 expenditures) is primarily attributable to increases in health and human service expenditures of $266.8 million; increases in prison expenditures of $906.6 million; and elimination of General Fund reimbursement of $81.6 million for transportation-related costs as a result of an adverse court decision which invalidated the use of Proposition 42 moneys for that purpose.</R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget projects to end fiscal year 2010-11 with a $1.0 billion reserve. General Fund revenues and transfers for fiscal year 2010-11 are projected at $89.3 billion, and General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2010-11 are projected at $82.9 billion. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget proposes a combined total of $19.9 billion of budget solutions for fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The solutions consist of $8.5 billion in expenditure restrictions (approximately 42.7% of the total solutions), $6.9 billion in federal funds solutions (approximately 34.7% of the total solutions), $3.9 billion in alternative funding solutions (approximately 19.6% of the total solutions), and $572 million in fund shifts and other revenues (approximately 2.8% of the total solutions).</R>

<R>Expenditure restrictions include $1.07 billion of reductions relating to Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program); $1.0 billion in reductions relating to in-home supportive services; $1.63 billion in salary reductions; $2.43 billion reduction in Proposition 98 funding and $1.1 billion in reductions relating to prison and corrections expenditures. Alternative funding sources include $986 million relating to a gas tax shift; the use of $550 million in Proposition 10 moneys to offset General Fund expenditures for children's programs; and the use of $452 million of Proposition 63 moneys to offset General Fund expenditures for mental health programs. The use of Proposition 10 and Proposition 63 moneys described above require voter approval at the June 2010 primary election or November 2010 general election. </R>

<R>LAO Report</R>

<R>On January 12, 2010, the LAO released its analysis of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget (LAO Report). In reaching its conclusions, the LAO performs an independent assessment of the outlook for California's economy, demographics, revenues, and expenditures. The LAO Report states that the reasons for the State's current budget gap are similar to prior budget shortfalls: the inability of the State to achieve proposed budget solutions; the effects of adverse court decisions, and, for fiscal year 2010-11, the expiration of various one-time and temporary budget solutions approved in 2009.</R>

<R>The LAO Report expresses caution regarding the 2010-11 Governor's Budget due to certain risks, including the improbability of the United States Legislature agreeing to all of the Governor's requests for federal funds, and states that the California Legislature needs to operate on the assumption that federal government relief will total billions of dollars less than what the 2010-11 Governor's Budget assumes.</R>

<R>March 2010 Special Session</R>

<R>On January 8, 2010, concurrently with the submission of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, the Governor declared a fiscal emergency and called the Legislature into a fiscal emergency special session. The nature of the fiscal emergency was the projected budget imbalance for fiscal year 2009-10 and the projected insufficient cash reserves and budgetary and cash deficits in fiscal year 2010-11. The purpose of the special session was for the Legislature to consider and act upon legislation included in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget that would close $8.9 billion of the budget gap. Delays in the adoption of the gap-closing proposals contained in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget until the enactment of the fiscal year 2010-11 budget would result in the loss of a portion of the proposed budgetary solutions and thereby necessitate more cuts in fiscal year 2010-11.</R>

<R>As of March 5, 2010, the Legislature had passed legislation intended to reduce the budget gap by about $3.2 billion. About $2.1 billion of the savings was intended to be obtained through expenditure reductions accomplished through appropriations targeted in fiscal year 2010-11. These intended reductions principally involved prison healthcare costs and employee compensation savings. On March 8, 2010, the Governor vetoed this $2.1 billion in savings. The remaining $1.1 billion of proposed solutions may be achieved through legislation intended to reduce the sales tax on gasoline and replace it with a higher excise tax, a portion of which would be applied to offset General Fund costs for certain transportation expenses. As of March 12, 2010, this legislation is still under consideration by the Governor, who has not indicated whether he will sign the bill. The special session ended on March 11, 2010. </R>

<R>As required by State law, the Governor will update the 2010-11 Governor's Budget by May 14, 2010. This updated budget (May Revision) will be the basis for the final negotiations between the governor and the Legislature to reach agreement on the fiscal year 2010-11 budget.</R>

<R>Balanced Budget Amendment</R>

<R>On March 2, 2004, voters approved Proposition 58, a constitutional amendment called the "Balanced Budget Amendment," which affects future State budgeting procedures. This amendment was linked to Proposition 57, also approved by the voters, which authorized issuance of $15 billion of long-term general obligation bonds, additionally secured by a 1/4 cent increment of the State's sales tax, which can be used to eliminate the accumulated budget deficits through June 30, 2004 and certain additional obligations incurred by the State.</R>

<R>The Balanced Budget Amendment requires the Legislature to enact a budget bill in which General Fund expenditures do not exceed estimated General Fund revenues and available reserves. After passage of the budget act, if the Governor determines that the State is facing substantial revenue shortfalls or spending deficiencies, the Governor may declare a fiscal emergency and propose legislation to address the emergency. The Legislature would be called in to special session to address this proposal. If the Legislature fails to send legislation to the Governor to address the fiscal emergency within 45 days, it will be prohibited from acting on any other bills or adjourning until fiscal legislation is passed. The Governor declared several such fiscal emergencies in 2008 and called the Legislature into various special sessions to address the recent current budget shortfall.</R>

<R>The Amendment also created a "rainy day" reserve called the Budget Stabilization Account ("BSA") in the State General Fund. Beginning in the 2006-07 fiscal year, a portion of estimated annual General Fund revenues are transferred by the Controller into the BSA not later than September 30 of each year. The transfer begins at 1% of revenues, and increases annually to reach a level of 3%. The initial transfers of $944 million and $2.045 billion took place in September 2006 and September 2007. The transfers are expected to continue until the BSA reaches a balance of the greater of $8 billion or 5% of General Fund revenue. Moneys in the BSA may be used to make up for unexpected budget imbalances, but will then have to be replenished with future transfers until the target level is reached. The annual transfer can be suspended by the Governor by an executive order issued not later than June 1 of the preceding fiscal year. The Amendment requires that one half of the BSA deposits, up to an aggregate of $5 billion, shall be transferred to the State Treasurer to provide for early redemption of the economic recovery bonds approved by Proposition 57. A total of $1.495 billion was transferred to retire economic recovery bonds in fiscal year 2006-07 ($472 million) and 2007-08 ($1.023 billion). The Governor suspended both the fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10 BSA transfers due to the condition of the General Fund, and the 2010-11 Governor's Budget assumes another suspension for fiscal year 2010-11.</R>

<R>A final provision of the Amendment prohibits future long-term bond issuances for the purpose of funding budget deficits once the bonds authorized by Proposition 57 are issued. Short term borrowing for cash flow management will continue to be authorized.</R>

<R>State-Local Fiscal Relations</R>

<R>In November, 2004, voters approved Proposition 1A, which made significant changes to the fiscal relationship between the State and local governments. In return for a $2.6 billion contribution to State budgets in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 fiscal years, Proposition 1A prohibits the State from accessing local governments' property tax, sales tax and vehicle license fee revenues except under limited circumstances. Starting in the 2008-09 fiscal year the State can borrow up to 8% of local property tax revenues but only if the Governor declares a fiscal hardship and with 2/3 approval of each house of the Legislature. This amount must be repaid within three years, and such borrowing can only be made twice in any ten-year period. In addition, the State cannot reduce the local sales tax rate or restrict authority of local governments to impose or change the distribution of the statewide local sales tax. Proposition 1A also strengthens requirements for the State to reimburse local governments if it enacts certain kinds of laws which mandate increased local spending. Proposition 1A is intended to produce greater certainty for local governments, but will reduce the State's options for dealing with budget shortfalls in the future.</R>

<R>The Amended 2009 Budget Act authorized the State to exercise its Proposition 1A borrowing authority. This borrowing generated $1.998 billion that will be used to offset General Fund costs for a variety of court, health, corrections, and K-12 programs. The enabling legislation also created a securitization mechanism for local governments to sell their right to receive the State's payment obligations to local government-operated joint powers agency (JPA). This JPA sold bonds in an aggregate amount of $1.895 billion in November 2009 to pay the local agencies their property tax allocations when they otherwise would receive them. Pursuant to Proposition 1A, the State is required to repay the local government borrowing (which in turn will be used to prepay the bonds of the JPA) no later than June 30, 2013. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget includes $90.8 million for the interest payments that will be incurred in fiscal year 2010-11 to be paid from the General Fund.</R>

<R>Strategic Growth Plan</R>

<R>In January 2006, the Governor proposed a comprehensive Strategic Growth Plan, which was to be the first installment of a 20-year investment in the State's infrastructure in the following five areas: transportation and air quality, education, flood control and water supply, public safety, and court and other public service infrastructure. Specifically, the plan laid out more than $222 billion in infrastructure investments over the first ten years, of which $68 billion would be financed with general obligation bonds, and the remainder would come from a mixture of existing and new funding sources.</R>

<R>In May 2006, the Legislature adopted a package of bills providing part of the infrastructure financing plan requested by the Governor. The main components of this package included four proposed bond measures on the November, 2006 ballot, containing the following elements: (i) $19.9 billion for transportation, air quality, port security and related projects; (ii) $10.4 billion for K-12 school construction and rehabilitation and higher education facilities; (iii) $4.1 billion for levee repair, flood control and related projects, and (iv) $2.9 billion for various housing programs. In addition, there was a constitutional amendment on the ballot to limit future diversions of sales taxes on gasoline from transportation purposes (Proposition 42). All four of these measures were approved by the voters at the November 7, 2006 election, at which time the Governor was also re-elected to a second term in office.</R>

<R>In the November 2008 general election, California voters approved new general obligation bond measures authorizing $9.95 billion for a high-speed train service linking Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, $980 million for construction and renovation of children's hospitals and $900 million for mortgage loans to California veterans. The creation of a Strategic Growth Council will be proposed in the next statewide election following the November 2008 general election to coordinate activities and investment of funds in State-owned and State-funded infrastructure. Legislation enacted on November 4, 2009 authorizes submission to the voters at the statewide election on November 2, 2010 of a ballot measure to approve the issuance of $11.14 billion in general obligation bonds for a wide variety of purposes relating to the improvement of California's water supply systems, drought relief, and groundwater protection. Additional bond measures may be included on the November 2, 2010 election ballot, but there are no bond measures on the June 8, 2010 ballot.</R>

<R>Litigation</R>

<R>The State is a party to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the State is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the State's recent financial statements) that, if decided against the State, might require the State to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the State to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund's investments.</R>

<R>Municipal Downgrades and Bankruptcies</R>

<R>Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to being downgraded, defaulting, and filing for and entering into bankruptcy during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax collections as a result of lower home values, lower sales tax revenue as a result of consumers cutting back from spending, and lower income tax revenue as a result of a high unemployment rate. In addition, as certain municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to a fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of a fund's investments. Further, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. For example, Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code provides a financially distressed municipality protection from its creditors while it develops and negotiates a plan for reorganizing its debts. "Municipality" is defined broadly by the Bankruptcy Code as a "political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a state" and may include various issuers of securities in which the fund invests. The reorganization of a municipality's debts may be accomplished by extending debt maturities, reducing the amount of principal or interest, refinancing the debt or other measures which may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of a fund's investments. </R>

<R>In addition, many municipal issuers recently either have been unable to issue bonds or access the market to sell their issues or, if able to access the market, have issued bonds at much higher rates. Should the State or municipalities fail to sell bonds when and at the rates projected, the State could experience significantly increased costs in the General Fund and a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year.</R>

<R>Bond Ratings</R>

<R>As of March 22, 2010, the State's general obligation bonds were rated Baa1, A- and BBB by Moody's, Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P) and Fitch Inc. (Fitch), respectively, with each rating representing a downgrade since July 2009. In January, 2010, S&P lowered the State's general obligation bond offering rating to A- from A, indicating that the State's fiscal imbalance and impending recurrence of a cash deficiency as factors in its decision. In July 2009, Fitch lowered the State's general obligation bond rating from A- to BBB citing the State's continued inability to achieve timely agreement on budgetary and cash flow solutions to its severe financial crisis. In the same month, Moody's lowered the State's general obligation bond rating to Baa1 from A2, citing the State's use of IOUs for non-priority payments, the deadlock on the budget gap, and the risk to priority payments.</R>

<R>Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating agency and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if in the judgment of such rating agency circumstances so warrant. Lower credit ratings make it more expensive for the State to raise revenue, and in some cases, could prevent the State from issuing general obligation bonds in the quantity otherwise desired. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the marketability and market prices of the bonds held by a fund. </R>

<R>Other Considerations</R>

<R>The repayment of industrial development securities or single family mortgage revenue bonds secured by real property may be affected by California laws limiting foreclosure rights of creditors. Under California law, mortgage loans secured by single family homes can be prepaid at any time without penalty, except in the first five years of the loan, and subject to limits on the size of the penalty. Such prepayments may affect the ability of the issuer of single family mortgage bonds to repay the bonds. Securities backed by health care and hospital revenues may be affected by changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to health care providers under Medi-Cal (the State's Medicaid program), including risks related to the policy of awarding exclusive contracts to certain hospitals.</R>

<R>Limitations on ad valorem property taxes may particularly affect "tax allocation" bonds issued by California redevelopment agencies. Such bonds are secured solely by the increase in assessed valuation of a redevelopment project area after the start of redevelopment activity. In the event that assessed values in the redevelopment project decline (e.g., because of a major natural disaster such as an earthquake), the tax increment revenue may be insufficient to make principal and interest payments on these bonds. Both Moody's and S&P suspended ratings on California tax allocation bonds after the enactment of Articles XIIIA and XIIIB, and only resumed such ratings on a selective basis.</R>

<R>Proposition 87, approved by California voters in 1988, requires that all revenues produced by a tax rate increase go directly to the taxing entity which increased such tax rate to repay that entity's general obligation indebtedness. As a result, redevelopment agencies (which, typically, are the issuers of tax allocation securities) no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes on property in the project area are increased to repay voter-approved bonded indebtedness.</R>

<R>The effect of these various constitutional and statutory changes upon the ability of California municipal securities issuers to pay interest and principal on their obligations remains unclear. Furthermore, other measures affecting the taxing or spending authority of California or its political subdivisions may be approved or enacted in the future. Legislation has been or may be introduced which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures or which either would further limit or, alternatively, would increase the abilities of State and local governments to impose new taxes or increase existing taxes. It is not possible, at present, to predict the extent to which any such legislation will be enacted. Nor is it possible, at present, to determine the impact of any such legislation on securities held in a fund, future allocations of State revenues to local governments or the abilities of State or local governments to pay the interest on, or repay the principal of, such securities.</R>

<R>Substantially all of California is within an active geologic region subject to major seismic activity. Northern California in 1989 and Southern California in 1994 experienced major earthquakes causing billions of dollars in damages. The federal government provided more than $13 billion in aid for both earthquakes, and neither event has had any long-term negative economic impact. Any obligation in a fund could be affected by an interruption of revenues because of damaged facilities, or, consequently, income tax deductions for casualty losses or property tax assessment reductions due to earthquakes. Compensatory financial assistance could be constrained by the inability of (i) an issuer to have obtained earthquake insurance coverage rates; (ii) an insurer to perform on its contracts of insurance in the event of widespread losses; or (iii) the federal or State government to appropriate sufficient funds within their respective budget limitations.</R>

<R>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO</R>

<R>The following section provides only a summary of (and does not purport to explain, predict, or fully describe) the complex factors, including both economic and political conditions, affecting the financial situation in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (as used in this section, the "Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico") and is based on information in publicly available documents. This information has not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change rapidly, substantially, and without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Commonwealth or its issuers since the date of its preparation. Any such change(s) may adversely affect the Commonwealth's and applicable issuer's cash flows, expenditures, or revenues, or otherwise negatively impact the current or projected Commonwealth financial situation, which in turn could hamper fund performance.</R>

<R>Further, the marketability, valuation or liquidity of Commonwealth municipal securities may be negatively affected in the event that Commonwealth localities or authorities default on their debt obligations or other market events arise, which in turn may negatively affect fund performance, sometimes substantially. Economic and other conditions within the Commonwealth may affect the credit risk of those localities or authorities to the extent that such localities and authorities are reliant upon Commonwealth appropriations. In addition, the difficulties encountered by bond insurers in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis and other credit and overall market events may continue to impact municipal securities negatively, and the full effects of these events remain uncertain.</R>

<R>Relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States. Puerto Rico's constitutional status is that of a territory of the United States (U.S.), and, pursuant to the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ultimate source of power over Puerto Rico is the U.S. Congress. The Commonwealth exercises virtually the same control over its internal affairs as do each of the 50 U.S. states over their own affairs. The Commonwealth differs from the states, however, in its relationship with the U.S. federal government. The people of Puerto Rico are citizens of the U.S. but do not vote in U.S. national elections. They are represented in Congress by a Resident Commissioner that has a voice in the House of Representatives but no vote (except in House committees and sub-committees to which he belongs). Most U.S. federal taxes, except those such as Social Security taxes, are not levied in Puerto Rico. No U.S. federal income tax is collected from Puerto Rico residents on income earned in Puerto Rico, except for certain federal employees who are subject to taxes on their salaries. Income earned by Puerto Rico residents from sources outside of Puerto Rico, however, is subject to federal income tax.</R>

<R>The Economy of Puerto Rico. The economy of Puerto Rico is closely linked to the U.S. economy, as most of the external factors that affect the Puerto Rico economy (other than oil prices) are determined by the policies and performance of the U.S. economy. These external factors include exports, direct investment, the amount of federal transfer payments, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, and tourist expenditures.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth in the past has established policies and programs directed principally at developing the manufacturing sector and expanding and modernizing the Commonwealth's infrastructure. Domestic and foreign investments have historically been stimulated by selective tax exemptions, development loans, and other financial and tax incentives. Infrastructure expansion and modernization have been to a large extent financed by bonds and notes issued by the Commonwealth, its public corporations, and municipalities. Economic progress has been aided by significant increases in the levels of education and occupational skills of the population.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico's economy has experienced a considerable transformation during the past 65 years, shifting from an agriculture economy to an industrial one. Virtually every sector of the economy participated in this expansion. Factors contributing to this expansion include government-sponsored economic development programs, increases in the level of federal transfer payments, and the relatively low cost of borrowing. In some years, these factors were aided by a significant rise in construction investment driven by infrastructure projects, private investment, primarily in housing, and relatively low oil prices. Nevertheless, the significant oil price increases during the past few years, the continuous contraction of the manufacturing sector, and the budgetary pressures on government finances triggered a general contraction in the economy.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth's economy entered a recession beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, the real gross national product (GNP) contracted by 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively. This contraction continued into fiscal year 2009, for which the Puerto Rico Planning Board (the Planning Board) expected a reduction of 3.4% in real GNP. While the trend was expected to continue in fiscal year 2010, the Planning Board announced on April 29, 2009, that the expected positive impact of certain U.S. federal and local economic stimulus measures should outweigh the expected negative impact of the Commonwealth's Fiscal Stabilization Plan (Fiscal Stabilization Plan) and revised its projections for fiscal year 2010 to reflect an increase of 0.1% in real GNP.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. Manufacturing and services are among its principal sectors. The manufacturing sector has undergone fundamental changes over the years as a result of increased emphasis on higher-wage, high-technology industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, computers, microprocessors, professional and scientific instruments, and certain high technology machinery and equipment. Manufacturing employment had been declining during the past decade, and the decline accelerated during fiscal years 2002 and 2003, falling 10.6% and 4.8%, respectively. Thereafter, manufacturing employment seemed to stabilize around 118,000 jobs, but the acceleration in job losses reappeared in fiscal year 2006 with the sector experiencing another significant drop of 4.0%. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, manufacturing employment decreased by 4.2% and 3.4%, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the sector lost an average of 5,600 jobs, or 5.3% compared to the same period of the previous year. Given that this sector used to pay the highest wages, on average, in Puerto Rico, its general downturn has represented a major difficulty for restoring growth for the whole economy. There are several reasons that explain this sector's job shrinkage: the end of the phase-out of Section 936 of the Internal Revenue Code, the net loss of patents on certain pharmaceutical products, the escalation of manufacturing production costs (particularly labor and electricity), the increased use of job outsourcing, and, the effects of the global economic decline. Puerto Rico's manufacturing sector is also facing increased international competition. </R>

<R>The service sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, transportation, communications and public utilities, and other services, also plays a major role in the Commonwealth's economy. The sector has expanded in terms of both income and employment over the past decade. During the period between fiscal years 2004 and 2008, the gross domestic product in this sector, in nominal terms, increased at an average annual rate of 5.0%, while payroll employment in this sector increased at an average annual rate of 0.8%. In the Puerto Rico labor market, self-employment, which is not accounted for in the Payroll Survey, represents approximately 15% of total employment. Most of the self-employment is concentrated in the service and construction sectors. The development of the service sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing and construction. The service sector ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and it is the sector with the greatest employment. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the average service-sector employment was 546,108, a decrease of 2.6% compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.</R>

<R>One factor that has promoted the development of the manufacturing and service sectors in Puerto Rico is the various local and federal tax incentives available, particularly those under Puerto Rico's Industrial Incentives Program.</R>

<R>General Risks. Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the Commonwealth's economy and finances. Such factors may affect the Commonwealth's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the national economy as a whole; (ii) developments with respect to the manufacturing and service sectors of the economy; (iii) developments in the world economy, and in particular commodity prices such as oil; (iv) U.S. fiscal and economic policies, including fiscal stimulus efforts in general and the amount of federal aid to the Commonwealth; (v) and the extent to which the federal stimulus legislation, and in particular the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), as enacted and implemented, provides less federal aid to the Commonwealth than anticipated in the Commonwealth's budget, and the resulting need to implement other revenue enhancements or expenditure reductions.</R>

<R>These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the Commonwealth's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the Commonwealth budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the Commonwealth's and municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.</R>

<R>Recent Events in the Municipal Bond Market. A significant number of auction rate municipal bonds have failed to attract buyers, resulting in "failed auctions" and a resetting of the periodic rates to rates in excess of those which would otherwise prevail in the short-term market. The failed auctions have affected municipal issuers throughout the U.S. and its territories and reflect concerns relating to bond insurers that have insured those bonds as well as changes in the operation of the auction rate itself. As an outcome of these failed auctions, governmental issuers are experiencing significantly higher debt service costs on auction rate bonds and bondholders are experiencing less liquidity than had been anticipated. The duration of the disruption in the auction rate securities market cannot be predicted at this time. In addition, the value of municipal securities may be difficult to measure in the current or a future market environment, as current valuation, significantly affected by external forces, may not reflect the intrinsic, underlying value of Commonwealth municipal securities. These events may adversely impact a fund's NAV.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2007. The Planning Board's reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy during fiscal year 2007 indicate that the real GNP fell by 1.9%. Nominal GNP was $58.6 billion ($44.2 billion in 2000 prices), compared with $56.7 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($45.0 billion in 2000 prices). This represents an increase in nominal (GNP) of 3.2%. Aggregate personal income was $52.3 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($43.3 billion in 2000 prices), as compared to $50.8 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita was $13,269 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,012 in 2000 prices), as compared to $12,944 in fiscal year 2006 ($11,052 in 2000 prices). (Note: Different price deflators are used for GNP and personal income statistics. The year 2000 is used as a basis for comparison because that is the year used by the U.S. Department of Commerce.)</R>

<R>Total employment for fiscal year 2007 averaged 1,262,900, an increase of 0.8% compared to 1,253,400 for fiscal year 2006. The driving force behind total employment was self-employment. The unemployment rate for fiscal year 2007 was 10.4%, a decrease from 11.7% for fiscal year 2006.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2008. The Planning Board's preliminary reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy for fiscal year 2008 indicate that real (GNP) decreased 2.5% (3.8% in current dollars) over fiscal year 2007. Nominal (GNP) was $60.8 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($43.0 billion in 2000 prices), compared to $58.6 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($44.2 billion in 2000 prices). Aggregate personal income increased from $52.3 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices) to $56.2 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($44.8 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita increased from $13,269 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,012 in 2000 prices) to $14,237 in fiscal year 2008 ($11,341 in 2000 prices). The increase in personal income in fiscal year 2008 was due in part to the tax rebate program implemented during such year.</R>

<R>Total employment for fiscal year 2008 averaged 1,217,500, a decrease of 3.6% compared to 1,262,900 for fiscal year 2007. At the same time, the unemployment rate for fiscal year 2008 was 11.0%, an increase from 10.4% for fiscal year 2007.</R>

<R>Among the variables contributing to the decrease in (GNP) were the continuous contraction of the manufacturing and construction sectors, as well as the current contraction of U.S. economic activity. Furthermore, the decline in Puerto Rico's GNP was not offset by the federal tax rebates due to the high levels of oil prices during fiscal year 2008. The persistent high price of oil and its derivatives (such as gasoline) during that period served to reduce the income available for other purchases and thereby negatively affected domestic demand. Due to the Commonwealth's dependence on oil for power generation and gasoline (in spite of its recent improvements in power-production diversification), the high level of oil prices accounted for an increased outflow of local income in fiscal year 2008. The current difficulties associated with the financial crisis resulted in lower short-term interest rates, but this did not translate into an improvement in the construction sector.</R>

<R>Forecast for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. The Planning Board's GNP forecast for fiscal year 2009, released in February of the same year, projected a decline of 3.4% in constant dollars, or an increase of 1.5% in current dollars. Personal income is expected to decline by 1.5% in real terms, or to increase by 2.3% in nominal terms. While a prolongation of the economic contraction through fiscal year 2010 had been expected, the Planning Board announced on April 29, 2009 that the expected positive impact of the U.S. federal and local economic stimulus measures discussed below should outweigh the expected negative impact of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan also described below, leading it to adjust its projections for fiscal year 2010.</R>

<R>The Planning Board projected a slight increase in GNP of 0.1% in constant dollars or 3.4% in current dollars. The major factors affecting the economy at this point are, among others, the current contraction of U.S. economic activity; the difficulties of the U.S. and local financial systems, which affect the local economy directly; the increase in federal transfers associated to the economic stimulus enacted by the U.S. government; and the local difficulties associated with the Commonwealth's prolonged fiscal crisis, including the cost reduction initiatives to be implemented as part of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan discussed below.</R>

<R>The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 (from July 2008 to March 2009), averaged 1,179,900, a decrease of 3.1% from the same period of the previous year. Moreover, for the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the unemployment rate was 13.0%, an increase from 11.0% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>Revised Economic Data for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. In August 2009, the Planning Board revised its GNP forecast for fiscal year 2009 by projecting a base-case scenario decline of 4.8% in constant dollars, a further decline of 1.4% from the projection released in February 2009. The Planning Board, however, made an upward revision to its GNP forecast for fiscal year 2010 by projecting an increase of 0.7% in constant dollars. The Planning Board's revised forecast for fiscal year 2010 takes into account the estimated effect on the Puerto Rico economy of a multi-year Fiscal Stabilization Plan and of the activity expected to be generated by $1.73 billion from ARRA and $280.3 million from the Puerto Rico government's local stimulus package. The revised forecast also considers the effect on the Puerto Rico economy of general global economic conditions, the U.S. economy, the volatility of oil prices, interest rates and the behavior of local exports, including expenditures by visitors.</R>

<R>Based upon 2009 forecasts, Puerto Rico expects to receive approximately $6 billion in stimulus funds from ARRA, of which approximately $3.3 billion will be used to provide consumer and tax payer relief. As of August 2009, the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority, which is responsible for the administration of ARRA in Puerto Rico, reported that approximately $609 million in ARRA funds for use in health, housing, and education related projects, among others, had been disbursed. </R>

<R>The government has also begun disbursing funds under the local stimulus program. Most municipalities have received disbursements earmarked to pay outstanding debts and fund local projects. The government has also disbursed funds allocated towards job training programs, a strategic water distribution project in a southern municipality and the revamping of the Puerto Rico permits system.</R>

<R>Total employment for fiscal year 2009 averaged 1,168,200, a decrease of 4.1% from the previous fiscal year. The unemployment rate for fiscal year 2009 was 13.4%, an increase from 11% for fiscal year 2008. For the month of October 2009, the unemployment rate was 15.7%, compared with 10.2 % for the U.S. as a whole.</R>

<R>Results for Fiscal Year 2009. Total preliminary Puerto Rico General Fund (General Fund) revenues for fiscal year 2009 are $7.76 billion, representing a decrease of $598.6 million, or 7.2%, from preliminary fiscal year 2008 revenues. The major changes from fiscal year 2008 were: (i) decreases in income taxes from individuals of $145.4 million and in corporate income taxes of $201.2 million; (ii) a decrease of $51.9 million in motor vehicle excise taxes; (iii) a decrease of $60.1 million in miscellaneous non-tax revenues; and (iv) a decrease of $16.1 million in sales and use tax revenues. In fiscal year 2008, General Fund revenues also included $145 million of nonrecurring revenues from the sale of certain properties owned by the Commonwealth. The continued decline in General Fund tax revenues reflects primarily the impact of the ongoing economic recession and the effect of tax benefits and incentives granted to certain individual and corporate taxpayers pursuant to previous legislation designed to stimulate economic development.</R>

<R>Total preliminary General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2009 of $7.76 billion exceeded the revised estimate, made in February 2009 of $7.60 billion by approximately $160 million, or 2.1%. The major changes from the revised estimate for fiscal year 2009 were: (i) an increase of $190.4 million in income taxes withheld from non-residents pursuant to certain closing agreements with the Department of the Treasury; and (ii) an increase of $59 million in income taxes from individuals.</R>

<R>Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2010. On July 1, 2009, the Commonwealth's governor signed a General Fund budget for fiscal year 2010 of $7.670 billion. The approved budget is approximately 19% lower than the $9.48 billion budget approved for fiscal year 2009. The approved budget is lower than the preliminary General Fund net revenues for fiscal year 2009 by $90 million, or 1.2%, and creates a payment schedule for certain Commonwealth debts or other obligations, such as borrowings from Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (GDB) that did not have a dedicated source of repayment, and accounts payable to public corporations. The General Fund budget excludes a $2.5 billion Puerto Rico Stabilization Fund (Stabilization Fund) that will facilitate the orderly implementation of certain expense reduction measures adopted by the Government of the Commonwealth pursuant to Act No. 7 of March 9, 2009, (Act No. 7). The Stabilization Fund will provide (i) $1 billion to finance the cost of transitioning public employees to non-governmental sectors and providing vouchers for re-training, self-employment, relocation and salary subsidy alternatives, and (ii) $1.5 billion to cover payroll and operating expenses that are expected to be reduced through fiscal year 2010, but whose savings will not be realized in such fiscal year. The Stabilization Fund will be funded with proceeds from the bonds issued by the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation ("COFINA" by its Spanish-language acronym).</R>

<R>Amendments to Act No. 7. The Commonwealth's Legislative Assembly approved a series of amendments to Act No. 7, which declared a state of fiscal emergency in Puerto Rico and adopted a comprehensive plan for fiscal and economic stabilization. The amendments do not alter the forecast of General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2010, nor do they affect the adoption of on-going expense reduction measures. Act No. 7 was amended to, among other things: (i) restore the tax-exemption enjoyed by certain securities that were affected by recent changes under the Alternative Minimum Tax; and (ii) introduce, with certain exceptions, a total cap of $40 million for granting tax credits related to Act No. 212 of 2002 (Urban Renewal projects) and establish specific limitations on the claim of such credits. These amendments also re-introduced the Sales and Use Tax Resale Exemption Certificate to retailers with a proven sales volume higher than $500,000. Retailers with a lower sales volume may enjoy the exemption subject to approval from the Secretary. The Secretary retains the right to revoke any Exemption Certificate for the period of a year if a retailer fails to comply with filing requirements related to the Sales and Use Tax. Finally, the amendments extended the temporary Commonwealth property tax to commercial real estate. The applicable Commonwealth property tax will be 0.591%. This temporary tax will be levied for three years or until an aggregated amount of $690 million is collected from this tax, whichever event occurs first.</R>

<R>On August 5, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico denied the preliminary injunction requested by a group of government employees and labor organizations in a complaint filed on April 13, 2009, challenging the constitutionality of Act No. 7 and seeking to enjoin its enforcement. The District Court's decision allows the Government to continue with the implementation of Act No. 7. The Government has moved to dismiss the complaint and will continue to vigorously defend the constitutionality of Act No. 7.</R>

<R>Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Commonwealth's current administration, which commenced on January 2, 2009, and controls the Executive and Legislative branches of government, has developed and commenced implementing a multi-year Fiscal Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction Plan that seeks to achieve fiscal balance and restore economic growth. The Fiscal Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction Plan is composed of two main elements: the Fiscal Stabilization Plan and the Economic Reconstruction Plan. The Fiscal Stabilization Plan seeks to achieve budgetary balance on or before fiscal year 2013, while addressing expected fiscal deficits in the intervening years through the implementation of a number of initiatives, including the following: (i) a $2 billion operating expense-reduction plan during fiscal year 2010, through government reorganization and reduction of operating expenses, including payroll which is the main component of government expenditures; (ii) a combination of temporary and permanent tax increases, coupled with additional tax enforcement measures; and (iii) a bond issuance program through COFINA. Before the temporary measures expire in 2013, the administration intends to design and adopt a comprehensive reform of the tax system and a long-term economic development plan to complement the economic reconstruction and supplemental stimulus initiatives described below. The proceeds expected to be obtained from the COFINA bond issuance program will be used to repay existing government debt (including debts with the GDB), finance operating expenses of the Commonwealth for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 (and for fiscal year 2012, to the extent included in the government's annual budget for such fiscal year), including costs related to the implementation of a workforce reduction plan, the funding of an economic stimulus plan, as described below, and for other purposes to address the fiscal imbalance while the Fiscal Stabilization Plan is being implemented. The Fiscal Stabilization Plan seeks to safeguard the investment grade ratings of the Commonwealth's general obligation debt and lay the foundation for sustainable economic growth. Legislation has already been enacted authorizing the implementation of all the measures in the Fiscal Stabilization Plan and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has certified projected savings of $237 million for fiscal year 2010 from implemented measures to date.</R>

<R>As discussed above, in order to achieve fiscal balance, the Fiscal Stabilization Plan established a government-wide operating expense-reduction program aimed at reducing annual payroll and other operating expenses by $2 billion by the end of fiscal year 2010. The Fiscal Board estimates that the annual savings from all cost reduction measures implemented or identified by the Commonwealth as of September 30, 2009, will amount to approximately $1.2 billion, which is approximately 60% of the $2 billion target. The Fiscal Board continues to seek and implement various initiatives to obtain additional savings necessary in order to achieve the $2 billion target. The additional savings are expected to come from both cost reduction and revenue generating initiatives, which include, among others, improvements in government procurement processes, reorganization and increased fiscal oversight of government agencies and improvements in tax collection and enforcement measures.</R>

<R>Economic Reconstruction Plan</R>

<R>The Commonwealth's current administration has also developed and commenced implementing a short-term economic reconstruction plan that seeks to stimulate growth in the short-term and lay the foundation for long-term economic development. The cornerstone of this plan is the implementation of U.S. federal and local economic stimulus programs. Puerto Rico will benefit from ARRA enacted by the U.S. government to stimulate the U.S. economy in the wake of the global economic downturn. Puerto Rico expects to receive approximately $5.0 billion from ARRA during the next two fiscal years, which includes tax relief, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, health care, and infrastructure, among other measures. The administration will seek to complement the U.S. federal stimulus with additional short- and medium-term supplemental stimulus measures seeking to address specific local challenges and providing investment in strategic areas. These measures include a local $500 million economic stimulus plan to supplement the federal plan. In addition, to further stimulate economic development and cope with the fiscal crisis, the administration is in the process of establishing a legal framework to authorize and promote the use of public-private partnerships to finance and develop infrastructure projects and operate and manage certain public assets.</R>

<R>Economic Development Program. The Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DEDC), in coordination with other government agencies, has been in the process of formulating and implementing a series of economic development initiatives with the goal of laying the groundwork for sustainable economic growth. These initiatives are centered on the dual mission of fostering multi-sector growth while reducing costs and barriers to business and investment, and are a medium-to-long-term counterpart to the Economic Reconstruction Plan and the Supplemental Stimulus Plan described above. The economic development initiatives are aimed at improving Puerto Rico's overall global relevance, competitiveness, and business environment and seek to increase private-sector capital formation and participation in the Puerto Rico economy. The administration will emphasize three main initiatives to enhance Puerto Rico's competitive position: (i) overhauling the permitting process; (ii) reforming the labor market; and (iii) reducing energy costs.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico Tax Incentives. Corporations operating in Puerto Rico (other than corporations organized in the U.S. with a local branch) and individuals residing in Puerto Rico generally are not subject to federal income taxes on income derived in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth has enacted legislation providing tax exemptions and tax incentives for businesses operating within certain sectors of the economy. Tax incentives laws have existed in Puerto Rico for over 50 years. The most recent tax incentives act, the Economic Incentives Act enacted on May 28, 2008, covers companies dedicated to manufacturing and the export of services. All eligible businesses operating under previous tax incentives laws may apply for the benefits provided by the Economic Incentives Act.</R>

<R>The Economic Incentives Act streamlines the process for obtaining tax incentives and provides recipients with certainty as to the amount of benefits they will receive over time. The Economic Incentives Act expands the definition of manufacturing to include cluster and supply chain concepts, addresses issues of cost competitiveness, and simplifies the applicable rules. The tax structure established by the Economic Incentives Act generally has a 4% income tax rate and a 12% withholding tax rate for royalties. An alternative structure has an 8% income tax rate and a 2% withholding tax on royalties. For existing businesses with tax rates between 2% and 4%, the Secretary of the DEDC has the discretion to grant the same tax benefits if doing so is considered to be in the best interests of Puerto Rico's economy. Income tax rates may be reduced by an additional 0.5% for projects located in low- or mid-economic development areas. Additional exceptions to the general tax structure exist for pioneering activities, local firms and small businesses. Pioneering activities may have a 1% income tax rate, or no income taxes if the research and development activity is located completely within Puerto Rico. Local firms may enjoy a tax rate as low as 3%, and for small- and medium-sized businesses the tax rate may be as low as 1%, provided such activities are eligible for certain credits provided by the Economic Incentives Act.</R>

<R>A variety of tax credits are available under the Economic Incentives Act, including: for the purchase of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; for job creation; for investment in research and development; for investment in energy-generation equipment; to reduce the cost of energy; to transfer technology; and for investors who acquire exempt operations in the process of shutting down. There are also investment credits for projects classified as strategic projects. Some of these credits can be carried forward and others can be sold.</R>

<R>Public Sector Debt</R>

<R>The Constitution of Puerto Rico limits the amount of general obligation debt that the Commonwealth can issue. Section 2 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth provides that direct obligations of the Commonwealth evidenced by full faith and credit bonds or notes shall not be issued if the amount of the principal of and interest on such bonds and notes and on all such bonds and notes theretofore issued that is payable in any fiscal year, together with any amount paid by the Commonwealth in the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance on account of bonds or notes guaranteed by the Commonwealth, exceed 15% of the average annual revenues raised under the provisions of Commonwealth legislation and deposited into the Treasury in the two fiscal years preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance. Section 2 of Article VI does not limit the amount of debt that the Commonwealth may guarantee so long as the 15% limitation is not exceeded through payments by the Commonwealth on such guaranteed debt. Annual debt service payments on bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth are not included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation. In the event any of the public corporations issuers of guaranteed bonds are unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on their guaranteed bonds, the Commonwealth would be required to make such payments under its guarantee from the General Fund, and such debt service would be included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation. The Commonwealth's policy has been to be to maintain the level of such debt below the constitutional limitation. Debt of municipalities, other than bond anticipation notes, is supported by real and personal property taxes and municipal license taxes. Debt of public corporations, other than bond anticipation notes, is generally supported by the revenues of such corporations from rates charged for services or products.</R>

<R>Commonwealth Guaranteed Debt. As of December 31, 2008, $3.05 billion of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of the Public Buildings Authority were outstanding. Maximum annual debt service on these bonds is $236.2 million in fiscal year 2011, with their final maturity being July 1, 2037. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required to date for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of December 31, 2008, $267 million of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of GDB were outstanding. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds. As of December 31, 2008, GDB held approximately $154.8 million of the Port of the Americas Authority's outstanding bonds, which are guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Port of the Americas Authority is authorized to issue and GDB is authorized to purchase its bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The proceeds from these bonds will be used to continue the development of the Port of the Americas. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of December 31, 2008, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of obligations of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) guaranteed by the Commonwealth was $902.0 million. This amount consisted of $284.7 million in revenue bonds sold to the public, $312.4 million in bonds issued to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, and $304.9 million of loans by the State Revolving (Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Act) Funds for the benefit of PRASA. From January 1997 through fiscal year 2005, the Commonwealth made debt service payments under its guaranty. Beginning with the debt service payment due January 1, 2006, the Commonwealth stopped making guarantee payments on these obligations and PRASA resumed making payments on this debt. In the event PRASA is unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on its guaranteed obligations, the Commonwealth would be required to make such payments from the General Fund under its guarantee.</R>

<R>Retirement Systems</R>

<R>Public employees of the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities are covered by five retirement systems: the Employees Retirement System, the Puerto Rico System of Annuities and Pensions for Teachers (the Teachers Retirement System), the Commonwealth Judiciary Retirement System (the Judiciary Retirement System), the Retirement System of the University of Puerto Rico (the University Retirement System), and the Employees Retirement System of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (the Electric Power Authority Retirement System).</R>

<R>The University Retirement System and the Electric Power Authority Retirement System apply to employees of the University of Puerto Rico and Electric Power Authority, respectively. The Commonwealth is not required to contribute directly to those two systems, although a large portion of University revenues is derived from legislative appropriations.</R>

<R>As of June 30, 2008, the total numbers of participants, including active participants and retirees, in the other three systems were as follows: Employees Retirement System, 278,732; Teachers Retirement System, 77,840; and Judiciary Retirement System, 695. The three systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the Commonwealth, public corporations, and municipalities) and employees, and investment income. The central government is responsible for approximately 64% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System and for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary and Teachers Retirement Systems, respectively.</R>

<R>According to the most recent independent actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System, as of June 30, 2007, the preliminary figures for actuarial accrued liability was $16.770 billion and the actuarial value of assets was $2.892 billion, representing a funding ratio of 17.2% and the resulting unfunded actuarial accrued liability was $13.878 billion. . The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8.5% per year and a salary increase of 5% per year. During fiscal year 2009, the Employees Retirement System had a cash shortfall of approximately $385 million. This cash shortfall was covered from the sale of certain investments. The Employees Retirement System's projected cash flow shortfall for fiscal year 2010 is approximately $400 million, which is expected to be covered from resources available to the Employees Retirement System, including the sale of certain investments. This negative trend is expected to continue partly due to possible future increases in the cost of living adjustments, changes in demographics of retirees and beneficiaries, and possible higher pension payments due to higher salaries of future retirees. The Employees Retirement System's cash flow shortfall for fiscal year 2010 could also be affected by the implementation of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Employees Retirement System continues to evaluate measures to improve the System's cash flow and funding ratio, as well as the potential impact of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Employees Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal years 2004 through 2007 exceeded contributions and investment income for those years. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2004 was covered with a loan received from the Department of the Treasury. Balances owed to the Department of the Treasury and other pending working capital needs through fiscal year 2005 were refinanced through a repurchase agreement with a financial institution in an amount of $138 million collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2006 was approximately $70 million. This shortfall was covered with a line of credit provided by a private financial institution and collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. There was no cash shortfall for fiscal year 2007 on account of the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the Puerto Rico Telephone Company stock that the Puerto Rico Telephone Authority held for the benefit of the Trust. Also with these proceeds the Employees Retirement System paid off the balances of the 2005 repurchase agreement and the 2006 line of credit used to cover the respective year's cash shortfalls. For fiscal year 2008, the Employees Retirement System experienced a positive cash flow due to various nonrecurring sources of income and a series of financings to increase the Employees Retirement System's funding ratio and reduce its unfunded pension benefit obligation. The financings involved the issuance by the Employees Retirement System of debt secured by a pledge of future employer contributions over the next 50 years. All net cash generated by these financings was deposited into the Employees Retirement System trust and invested along with its other assets. As of June 30, 2008, the Employees Retirement System had issued three series totaling approximately $2.9 billion of its Senior Pension Funding Bonds.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2007, the accrued actuarial liability was $7.756 billion and the value of its assets amounted to $3.163 billion, representing a funding ratio of 41%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $4.593 billion. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8%, yearly salary increases of 3.5%, employee and employer contributions of 9% and 8.5%, respectively, an inflation rate of 2.5%, and a remaining amortization period of 30 years for the unfunded accrued liability. With respect to the Teachers Retirement System, the cash shortfalls for fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008 were $65 million, $40 million, and $75 million, respectively. Investments were liquidated to cover these shortfalls. For fiscal year 2009, the Teachers Retirement System expects to have a cash shortfall of approximately $67 million. Based on the Teachers Retirement System's estimates, it could have an $81 million cash flow deficit for fiscal year 2010. This negative trend is expected to continue given that Puerto Rico Teachers Retirement System is in a relatively mature stage. Based on the current statutory funding requirements, the annual benefit payments and administrative expenses paid by the Teachers Retirement System are significantly larger than the member and employer contributions made to the Teachers Retirement System. Thus, according to the 2007 actuarial valuation, investment income must be used to cover this negative cash flow. The Teachers Retirement System is seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth's General Fund in the amount of $119 million for special benefits paid by the Teachers Retirement System to its beneficiaries through June 30, 2004, pursuant to special benefit laws enacted by the Legislative Assembly. The Teachers Retirement System's interpretation of these special benefit laws, to the effect that the Commonwealth is required to reimburse the Teachers Retirement System for such special benefits paid, is being disputed by the Office of Management and Budget. In March 2009 the Department of Education paid to the Teachers Retirement System the amount of $12 million as partial payment. The dispute for the pending amount of $107 million continues under inter-agency arbitration proceedings. The Employees Retirement System is also seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth (in connection with other special benefits laws applicable to its beneficiaries) in the amount of $73.9 million, representing cumulative benefits paid to beneficiaries through June 30, 2005.</R>

<R>The market value of the investment portfolios (which excludes loans to plan members) held by the retirement plans has been materially adversely affected by the global decline in value of equity securities. This decline has had an adverse effect on the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the retirement systems.</R>

<R>Litigation. The Commonwealth and its officers and employees are parties to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the Commonwealth is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the Commonwealth's recent Official Statements) that, if decided against the Commonwealth, might require the Commonwealth to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund's investments.</R>

<R>Bond Ratings. As of December 24, 2009, the Commonwealth's General Obligation Bonds were rated Baa3 and BBB- by Moody's and S&P, respectively.</R>

<R>Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating agency and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if in the judgment of such rating agency circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds.</R>

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of equity securities on a securities exchange or OTC are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Generally, compensation relating to securities traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than compensation relating to securities traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation. Compensation may also be paid in connection with principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system. Equity securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Purchases and sales of fixed-income securities are generally made with an issuer or a primary market-maker acting as principal. Although there is no stated brokerage commission paid by the fund for any fixed-income security, the price paid by the fund to an underwriter includes the disclosed underwriting fee and prices in secondary trades usually include an undisclosed dealer commission or markup reflecting the spread between the bid and ask prices of the fixed-income security.

The Trustees of the fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund. The Trustees also review the compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if it was reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

The Selection of Brokers

In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) to execute the fund's portfolio transactions, FMR considers factors deemed relevant in the context of a particular trade and in regard to FMR's overall responsibilities with respect to the fund and other investment accounts, including any instructions from the fund's portfolio manager, which may emphasize, for example, speed of execution over other factors. The factors considered will influence whether it is appropriate to execute an order using ECNs, electronic channels including algorithmic trading, or by actively working an order. Other factors deemed relevant may include, but are not limited to: price; the size and type of the transaction; the reasonableness of compensation to be paid, including spreads and commission rates; the speed and certainty of trade executions, including broker willingness to commit capital; the nature and characteristics of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold, including the degree of specialization of the broker in such markets or securities; the availability of liquidity in the security, including the liquidity and depth afforded by a market center or market-maker; the reliability of a market center or broker; the broker's overall trading relationship with FMR; the trader's assessment of whether and how closely the broker likely will follow the trader's instructions to the broker; the degree of anonymity that a particular broker or market can provide; the potential for avoiding market impact; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services, if applicable. In seeking best qualitative execution, FMR may select a broker using a trading method for which the broker may charge a higher commission than its lowest available commission rate. FMR also may select a broker that charges more than the lowest available commission rate available from another broker. For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services provided by the FCM.

The Acquisition of Brokerage and Research Products and Services

Brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) that execute transactions for the fund may receive higher compensation from the fund than other brokers might have charged the fund, in recognition of the value of the brokerage or research products and services they provide to FMR or its affiliates.

Research Products and Services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, company, municipal, sovereign (U.S. and non-U.S.), legal, or political research reports; market color; company meeting facilitation; compilation of securities prices, earnings, dividends and similar data; quotation services, data, information and other services; analytical computer software and services; and investment recommendations. FMR may request that a broker provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. Some of these products and services supplement FMR's own research activities in providing investment advice to the fund.

Execution Services. In addition, products and services may include those that assist in the execution, clearing, and settlement of securities transactions, as well as other incidental functions (including but not limited to communication services related to trade execution, order routing and algorithmic trading, post-trade matching, exchange of messages among brokers or dealers, custodians and institutions, and the use of electronic confirmation and affirmation of institutional trades).

Mixed-Use Products and Services. In addition to receiving brokerage and research products and services via written reports and computer-delivered services, such reports may also be provided by telephone and in personal meetings with securities analysts, corporate and industry spokespersons, economists, academicians and government representatives and others with relevant professional expertise. FMR and its affiliates may use commission dollars to obtain certain products or services that are not used exclusively in FMR's or its affiliates' investment decision-making process (mixed-use products or services). In those circumstances, FMR or its affiliates will make a good faith judgment to evaluate the various benefits and uses to which they intend to put the mixed-use product or service, and will pay for that portion of the mixed-use product or service that does not qualify as brokerage and research products and services with their own resources (referred to as "hard dollars").

Benefit to FMR. FMR's expenses would likely be increased if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts, or if it paid for these products or services itself. Certain of the brokerage and research products and services FMR receives from brokers are furnished by brokers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. Some of these products or services may not have an explicit cost associated with such product or service.

FMR's Decision-Making Process. Before causing the fund to pay a particular level of compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research products and services provided to FMR, viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. While FMR may take into account the brokerage and/or research products and services provided by a broker in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to any broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a specific amount of compensation or otherwise. Typically, these products and services assist FMR and its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund. Certain funds or investment accounts may use brokerage commissions to acquire brokerage and research products and services that may also benefit other funds or accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates.

Research Contracts. FMR has arrangements with certain third-party research providers and brokers through whom FMR effects fund trades, whereby FMR may pay with fund commissions or hard dollars for all or a portion of the cost of research products and services purchased from such research providers or brokers. If hard dollar payments are used, FMR may still cause the fund to pay more for execution than the lowest commission rate available from the broker providing research products and services to FMR, or that may be available from another broker. FMR views hard dollar payments for research products and services as likely to reduce the fund's total commission costs even though it is expected that in such hard dollar arrangements the commissions available for recapture and to pay fund expenses, as described below, will decrease. FMR's determination to pay for research products and services separately, rather than bundled with fund commissions, is wholly voluntary on FMR's part and may be extended to additional brokers or discontinued with any broker participating in this arrangement.

Commission Recapture

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker, using a predetermined methodology, rebates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund to offset that fund's expenses, which may be paid to FMR or its affiliates. Not all brokers with whom the fund trades have agreed to participate in brokerage commission recapture.

Affiliated Transactions

FMR may place trades with certain brokers, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), with whom it is under common control provided FMR determines that these affiliates' trade execution abilities and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the fund could purchase in the underwritings.

Trade Allocation

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts (including proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed by FMR to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. In some cases adherence to these procedures could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund.

Commissions Paid

A fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. The amount of brokerage commissions paid by a fund may change from year to year because of, among other things, changing asset levels, shareholder activity, and/or portfolio turnover.

<R>For the fiscal periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 15% and 26%, respectively.</R>

<R> </R>

The following table shows the total amount of brokerage commissions paid by the fund, comprising commissions paid on securities and/or futures transactions, as applicable, for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, 2009, and February 29, 2008. The total amount of brokerage commissions paid is stated as a dollar amount and a percentage of the fund's average net assets.

VALUATION

The class's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of the class is computed by adding the class's pro rata share of the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting the class's pro rata share of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to the class, and dividing the result by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods. If quotations are not available, debt securities are usually valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement or closing price. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

The fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing the class's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

The fund, in its discretion, may determine to issue its shares in kind in exchange for securities held by the purchaser having a value, determined in accordance with the fund's policies for valuation of portfolio securities, equal to the purchase price of the fund shares issued. The fund will accept for in-kind purchases only securities or other instruments that are appropriate under its investment objective and policies. In addition, the fund generally will not accept securities of any issuer unless they are liquid, have a readily ascertainable market value, and are not subject to restrictions on resale. All dividends, distributions, and subscription or other rights associated with the securities become the property of the fund, along with the securities. Shares purchased in exchange for securities in kind generally cannot be redeemed for fifteen days following the exchange to allow time for the transfer to settle.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. To the extent that the fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund will be federally tax-exempt, provided that the fund qualifies to pay tax-exempt dividends. In order to qualify to pay tax-exempt dividends, at least 50% of the value of the fund's total assets (including uninvested assets) must consist of tax-exempt municipal securities at the close of each quarter of the fund's taxable year. Short-term capital gains are taxable at ordinary income tax rates.

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantee that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued and you may need to file an amended income tax return. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the federal AMT, although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities is a tax preference item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and the amount of AMT to be paid, if any.

A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, not as capital gains.

<R>California Tax Matters. As long as a fund continues to qualify as a regulated investment company under the federal Internal Revenue Code, it will incur no California income or franchise tax liability on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. California personal income tax law provides that exempt-interest dividends paid by a regulated investment company, or series thereof, from interest on obligations that are exempt from California personal income tax are excludable from gross income. For a fund to qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends under California law, at least 50% of the value of its assets must consist of such obligations at the close of each quarter of its fiscal year. For purposes of California personal income taxation, distributions to individual shareholders derived from interest on other types of obligations and short-term capital gains will be taxed as dividends, and long-term capital gain distributions will be taxed as capital gains. California has an alternative minimum tax similar to the federal AMT described above. However, the California AMT does not include interest from private activity municipal obligations as an item of tax preference. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder in connection with the purchase of shares of a fund will not be deductible for California personal income tax purposes. Corporate taxpayers should note that dividends will not be exempt from California corporate income or franchise tax.</R>

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

<R>As of February 28, 2010, the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $24,208,198. This loss carryforward, of which $22,249,274 and $1,958,924 will expire on February 28, 2017 and 2018, respectively, is available to offset future capital gains. Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations, a fund's ability to utilize its capital loss carryforwards in a given year or in total may be limited.</R>

Tax Status of the Fund. The fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

<R>TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS</R>

<R>The Trustees and executive officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 188 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Mr. Curvey oversees 410 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.</R>

<R>The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The executive officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.</R>

<R>Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates ("Statement of Policy"). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.</R>

<R>In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.</R>

<R>Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Kenneth L. Wolfe serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.</R>

<R>Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds that are overseen by such other Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.</R>

<R>The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."</R>

<R>Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. Currently, the Board of Trustees has three standing committees. The members of each committee are Independent Trustees.</R>

<R>The Operations Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Wolfe currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets at least six times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the Independent Trustees. The committee considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding contracts with third parties unaffiliated with FMR, including insurance coverage and custody agreements. The committee has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. These matters include, but are not limited to, significant non-conformance with contract requirements and other significant regulatory matters and recommending to the Board of Trustees the designation of a person to serve as the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The committee (i) serves as the primary point of contact for the CCO with regard to Board-related functions; (ii) oversees the annual performance review of the CCO; (iii) makes recommendations concerning the CCO's compensation; and (iv) makes recommendations as needed in respect of the removal of the CCO. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held 22 meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Ms. Knowles currently serving as Chair. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least annually with the funds' Treasurer, with the funds' Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR LLC, and with the funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the funds and the funds' service providers (to the extent such controls impact the funds' financial statements); (ii) the funds' auditors and the annual audits of the funds' financial statements; (iii) the financial reporting processes of the funds; (iv) whistleblower reports; and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the funds and for resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the funds and any service providers consistent with the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee will also review any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies or published reports that raise material issues regarding the funds' financial statements or accounting policies. These matters may also be reviewed by the Operations Committee. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the funds. The committee will review with FMR, the funds' outside auditor, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC and, as appropriate, legal counsel the results of audits of the funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held five meetings.</R>

<R>The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Wolfe (Chair) and Gamper, and Ms. Knowles. The committee meets as called by the Chair. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of Independent Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for Independent Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for Independent Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the funds and the Independent Trustees. On behalf of the Independent Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the Independent Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to Independent Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the Independent Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with Independent Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to fund governance. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the funds' or the Board of Trustees' policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of Independent Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of Independent Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify Independent Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee's scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the funds' expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting Independent Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an interested person of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings during the year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held six meetings.</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR LLC, as successor by merger to FMR Corp., is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited (FMR H.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), and Fidelity Research & Analysis Company (FRAC). The voting common shares of FMR LLC are divided into two series. Series B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d and Abigail P. Johnson family, directly or through trust and limited liability companies, and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common shares. Series A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Series B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Series B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting securities of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR LLC and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

FIL Limited, a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of FIL Investment Advisors (FIIA) and FIL Investment Advisors (U.K.) Ltd. (FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Abigail P. Johnson, other Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL Limited. At present, the primary business activities of FIL Limited and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

FMR, FIMM, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., FMR Japan, FRAC, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L (the Investment Advisers), FDC, and the fund have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, has overall responsibility for directing the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are interested persons of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer agent and pricing and bookkeeping agent, the fund or each class thereof, as applicable, pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and Independent Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

<R>The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $1,271 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for February 2010 - was 0.1163%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $1,271 billion.</R>

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.25%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for February 2010, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

<R>Fund

Individual Fund Fee Rate

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

<R>For the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, 2009, and February 29, 2008, the fund paid FMR management fees of $5,844,595, $5,877,307, and $5,980,250, respectively.</R>

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of a class's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the class's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by the class will lower its returns and yield.

Sub-Adviser - FIMM. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM pursuant to which FIMM has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for the fund. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, FMR, and not the fund, pays FIMM's fees.

Sub-Advisers - FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L. On behalf of the fund, FIMM has entered into a master international fixed-income research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of the fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into a fixed-income sub-research agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements, FIMM may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States. In particular, FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Under the terms of the master international fixed-income research agreement, FIMM, and not the fund, pays FIIA. Under the terms of the fixed-income sub-research agreement, FIIA, and not the fund, pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

Sub-Adviser - FRAC. On behalf of the fund, FMR, FIMM, and FRAC have entered into a research agreement. Pursuant to the research agreement, FRAC provides investment advice and research services on domestic issuers. Under the terms of the research agreement, FMR and FIMM, and not the fund, agree, in the aggregate, to pay FRAC.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States (non-discretionary services) and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority and the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund (discretionary services). FMR, and not the fund, pays the sub-advisers.

<R>Jamie Pagliocco is the portfolio manager of the fund and receives compensation for his services. As of February 28, 2010, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.</R>

<R>The portfolio manager's base salary is determined by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR municipal bond funds and accounts. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to his tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) and the average asset size of those fund(s) and account(s) over his tenure. Each component is calculated separately over the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with his tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a benchmark index. A smaller, subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of the fund is based on the fund's pre-tax investment performance measured against the Barclays Capital California Enhanced Municipal Bond Index. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.</R>

<R>The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. Although investors in a fund may invest through either tax-deferred accounts or taxable accounts, the portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax performance of the fund, rather than its after-tax performance. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to assess the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, a fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR or an affiliate. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by a fund. Securities selected for other funds or accounts may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Portfolio managers may be permitted to invest in the funds they manage, even if a fund is closed to new investors. Trading in personal accounts, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, is restricted by a fund's Code of Ethics.</R>

<R>PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES</R>

<R>The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the Independent Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)</R>

<R>I. General Principles</R>

<R> A. Voting of shares will be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of Fidelity Fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company will generally be voted in a manner consistent with the Guidelines; and (ii) voting will be done without regard to any other Fidelity companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.</R>

<R> B. FMR Investment Proxy Research votes proxies. In the event an Investment Proxy Research employee has a personal conflict with a portfolio company or an employee or director of a portfolio company, that employee will withdraw from making any proxy voting decisions with respect to that portfolio company. A conflict of interest arises when there are factors that may prompt one to question whether a Fidelity employee is acting solely in the best interests of Fidelity and its customers. Employees are expected to avoid situations that could present even the appearance of a conflict between their interests and the interests of Fidelity and its customers.</R>

<R> C. Except as set forth herein, FMR will generally vote in favor of routine management proposals.</R>

<R> D. Non-routine proposals will generally be voted in accordance with the Guidelines.</R>

<R> E. Non-routine proposals not covered by the Guidelines or involving other special circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with input from the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, as applicable, subject to review by an attorney within FMR's General Counsel's office and a member of senior management within FMR Investment Proxy Research. A significant pattern of such proposals or other special circumstances will be referred to the appropriate Fidelity Fund Board Committee or its designee.</R>

<R> F. FMR will vote on shareholder proposals not specifically addressed by the Guidelines based on an evaluation of a proposal's likelihood to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value. Where information is not readily available to analyze the economic impact of the proposal, FMR will generally abstain.</R>

<R> G. Many Fidelity Funds invest in voting securities issued by companies that are domiciled outside the United States and are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange. Corporate governance standards, legal or regulatory requirements and disclosure practices in foreign countries can differ from those in the United States. When voting proxies relating to non-U.S. securities, FMR will generally evaluate proposals in the context of the Guidelines, but FMR may, where applicable and feasible, take into consideration differing laws and regulations in the relevant foreign market in determining how to vote shares.</R>

<R> H. In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, shareholders voting shares of a portfolio company may be restricted from trading the shares for a period of time around the shareholder meeting date. Because such trading restrictions can hinder portfolio management and could result in a loss of liquidity for a fund, FMR will generally not vote proxies in circumstances where such restrictions apply. In addition, certain non-U.S. jurisdictions require voting shareholders to disclose current share ownership on a fund-by-fund basis. When such disclosure requirements apply, FMR will generally not vote proxies in order to safeguard fund holdings information.</R>

<R> I. Where a management-sponsored proposal is inconsistent with the Guidelines, FMR may receive a company's commitment to modify the proposal or its practice to conform to the Guidelines, and FMR will generally support management based on this commitment. If a company subsequently does not abide by its commitment, FMR will generally withhold authority for the election of directors at the next election.</R>

<R>III. Directors</R>

<R> A. Incumbent Directors</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of incumbent and nominee directors except where one or more such directors clearly appear to have failed to exercise reasonable judgment.</R>

<R> FMR will also generally withhold authority for the election of all directors or directors on responsible committees if:</R>

<R> 1. An Anti-Takeover Provision was introduced, an Anti-Takeover Provision was extended, or a new Anti-Takeover Provision was adopted upon the expiration of an existing Anti-Takeover Provision, without shareholder approval except as set forth below.</R>

<R> With respect to Poison Pills, however, FMR will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if all of the following conditions are met when a Poison Pill is introduced, extended, or adopted:</R>

<R> a. The Poison Pill includes a Sunset Provision of less than five years;</R>

<R> b. The Poison Pill includes a Permitted Bid Feature;</R>

<R> c. The Poison Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; and</R>

<R> d. Shareholder approval is required to reinstate the Poison Pill upon expiration.</R>

<R> FMR will also consider not withholding authority on the election of directors when one or more of the conditions above are not met if a board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding above conditions noted a. and b. to an existing Poison Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, FMR will withhold authority on the election of directors.</R>

<R> 2. The company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend the Poison Pill to allow Fidelity to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.</R>

<R> 3. Within the last year and without shareholder approval, a company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options, exchanged outstanding options for equity, or tendered cash for outstanding options.</R>

<R> 4. The company failed to act in the best interests of shareholders when approving executive compensation, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company used an independent compensation committee; (ii) whether the compensation committee engaged independent compensation consultants; (iii) whether the company has admitted to or settled a regulatory proceeding relating to options backdating; (iv) whether the compensation committee has lapsed or waived equity vesting restrictions; and (v) whether the company has adopted or extended a Golden Parachute without shareholder approval.</R>

<R> 5. To gain FMR's support on a proposal, the company made a commitment to modify a proposal or practice to conform to the Guidelines and the company has failed to act on that commitment.</R>

<R> 6. The director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the board or its committees on which the director served during the company's prior fiscal year, absent extenuating circumstances.</R>

<R> 7. The board is not composed of a majority of independent directors.</R>

<R> B. Indemnification</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of charter and by-law amendments expanding the indemnification of directors and/or limiting their liability for breaches of care unless FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by Anti-Takeover Provisions.</R>

<R> C. Independent Chairperson</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.</R>

<R> D. Majority Director Elections</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals calling for directors to be elected by an affirmative majority of votes cast in a board election, provided that the proposal allows for plurality voting standard in the case of contested elections (i.e., where there are more nominees than board seats). FMR may consider voting against such shareholder proposals where a company's board has adopted an alternative measure, such as a director resignation policy, that provides a meaningful alternative to the majority voting standard and appropriately addresses situations where an incumbent director fails to receive the support of a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election.</R>

<R>IV. Compensation</R>

<R> A. Equity award plans (including stock options, restricted stock awards, and other stock awards).</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against equity award plans or amendments to authorize additional shares under such plans if:</R>

<R> 1. (a) The dilution effect of the shares outstanding and available for issuance pursuant to all plans, plus any new share requests is greater than 10% for a Large-Capitalization Company, 15% for a Small-Capitalization Company or 20% for a Micro-Capitalization Company; and (b) there were no circumstances specific to the company or the plans that lead FMR to conclude that the level of dilution in the plan or the amendments is acceptable.</R>

<R> 2. In the case of stock option plans, (a) the offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus; (b) the plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options; or (c) the board/committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past two years without shareholder approval.</R>

<R> 3. In the case of stock awards, the restriction period is less than three years for non-performance-based awards, and less than one year for performance-based awards.</R>

<R> 4. The plan includes an Evergreen Provision.</R>

<R> 5. The plan provides for the acceleration of vesting of equity awards even though an actual change in control may not occur.</R>

<R> FMR will consider approving an equity award plan or an amendment to authorize additional shares under such plan if, without complying with the guidelines immediately above, the following two conditions are met:</R>

<R> 1. The shares are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors; and</R>

<R> 2. The shares are limited to 5% (Large-Capitalization Company) and 10% (Small- or Micro-Capitalization Company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> B. Equity Exchanges and Repricing</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of a management proposal to exchange, reprice or tender for cash, outstanding options if the proposed exchange, repricing, or tender offer is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:</R>

<R> 1. Whether the proposal excludes senior management and directors;</R>

<R> 2. Whether the exchange or repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable pricing model;</R>

<R> 3. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 4. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and</R>

<R> 5. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether an exchange or repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

<R> C. Employee Stock Purchase Plans</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of employee stock purchase plans if the minimum stock purchase price is equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value and the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, FMR may permit a lower minimum stock purchase price equal to the prevailing "best practices" in the relevant non-U.S. market, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.</R>

<R> D. Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. FMR will generally vote against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.</R>

<R> E. Executive Compensation</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans if such proposals are inconsistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.</R>

<R> F. Bonus Plans and Tax Deductibility Proposals</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of cash and stock incentive plans that are submitted for shareholder approval in order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that the plan includes well defined and appropriate performance criteria, and with respect to any cash component, that the maximum award per participant is clearly stated and is not unreasonable or excessive.</R>

<R>V. Anti-Takeover Provisions</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against a proposal to adopt or approve the adoption of an Anti-Takeover Provision unless:</R>

<R> A. The Poison Pill includes the following features:</R>

<R> 1. A Sunset Provision of no greater than five years;</R>

<R> 2. Linked to a business strategy that is expected to result in greater value for the shareholders;</R>

<R> 3. Requires shareholder approval to be reinstated upon expiration or if amended;</R>

<R> 4. Contains a Permitted Bid Feature; and</R>

<R> 5. Allows the Fidelity Funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.</R>

<R> B. An Anti-Greenmail proposal that does not include other Anti-Takeover Provisions; or</R>

<R> C. It is a fair price amendment that considers a two-year price history or less.</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to eliminate Anti-Takeover Provisions. In the case of proposals to declassify a board of directors, FMR will generally vote against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statutes include a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.</R>

<R>VI. Capital Structure/Incorporation</R>

<R> A. Increases in Common Stock</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against a provision to increase a company's common stock if such increase will result in a total number of authorized shares greater than three times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares, including stock options, except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase that will result in a total number of authorized shares up to five times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares is generally acceptable.</R>

<R> B. New Classes of Shares</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against the introduction of new classes of stock with differential voting rights.</R>

<R> C. Cumulative Voting Rights</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against the introduction and in favor of the elimination of cumulative voting rights.</R>

<R> D. Acquisition or Business Combination Statutes</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to opt out of the control shares acquisition or business combination statutes.</R>

<R> E. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and vote in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under United States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.</R>

<R>VII. Shares of Investment Companies</R>

<R> A. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying Fidelity Fund with public shareholders, an exchange traded fund (ETF), or non-affiliated fund, FMR will vote in the same proportion as all other voting shareholders of such underlying fund or class ("echo voting"). FMR may choose not to vote if "echo voting" is not operationally feasible.</R>

<R> B. Certain Fidelity Funds may invest in shares of underlying Fidelity Funds which are held exclusively by Fidelity Funds or accounts managed by an FMR or an affiliate. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals recommended by the underlying funds' Board of Trustees.</R>

<R>VIII. Other</R>

<R> A. Voting Process</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to adopt confidential voting and independent vote tabulation practices.</R>

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

For purposes of the following "Distribution Services" discussion, the term "shares" (as it relates to the fund) means the one class of shares of the fund offered through the prospectus to which this SAI relates.

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan with respect to shares of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows shares of the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.

Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund or class, as applicable, and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by shares of the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of shares of the fund, additional sales of shares of the fund or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

FDC or an affiliate may compensate, or upon direction make payments for certain retirement plan expenses to, intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (including affiliates of FDC). A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors may include, without limitation, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of assets or sales of shares, and other factors. In addition to such payments, FDC or an affiliate may offer other incentives such as sponsorship of educational or client seminars relating to current products and issues, payments or reimbursements for travel and related expenses associated with due diligence trips that an intermediary may undertake in order to explore possible business relationships with affiliates of FDC, and/or payments of costs and expenses associated with attendance at seminars, including travel, lodging, entertainment, and meals. Certain of the payments described above may be significant to an intermediary. As permitted by SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules and other applicable laws and regulations, FDC or an affiliate may pay or allow other incentives or payments to intermediaries.

The fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to certain intermediaries (who may be affiliated with the transfer agent) for providing recordkeeping and administrative services to plan participants or for providing other services to retirement plans. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in this SAI for more information.

FDC or an affiliate may also make payments to banks, broker-dealers and other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FDC) for distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services. If you have purchased shares of the fund through an investment professional, please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

Any of the payments described in this section may represent a premium over payments made by other fund families. Investment professionals may have an added incentive to sell or recommend a fund over others offered by competing fund families, or retirement plan sponsors may take these payments into account when deciding whether to include a fund as a plan investment option.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

For purposes of the following "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" discussion, the term "shares" (as it relates to the fund) means the one class of shares of the fund offered through the prospectus to which this SAI relates.

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), which is located at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides transfer agency services for shares of the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-transfer agent agreement with FIIOC, an affiliate of FMR, which is located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FIIOC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services for shares of the fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.

<R>For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fee is billed monthly on a pro rata basis at one-twelfth of the applicable annual rate as of the end of each calendar month. The asset-based fee is calculated and paid monthly on the basis of Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund's average daily net assets. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.</R>

FIIOC also may collect fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, Citibank receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in certain funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's, or a fund of funds' assets that is invested in the fund.

FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

Many fund shares are owned by intermediaries for the benefit of their customers. Since a fund often does not maintain an account for shareholders in those instances, some or all of the recordkeeping services for these accounts may be performed by third parties. FIIOC or an affiliate may make payments to intermediaries (including affiliates of FIIOC) for recordkeeping and other services.

Retirement plans may also hold fund shares in the name of the plan or its trustee, rather than the plan participant. In situations where FIIOC or an affiliate does not provide recordkeeping services, plan recordkeepers, who may have affiliated financial intermediaries who sell shares of the fund, may, upon direction, be paid for providing recordkeeping services to plan participants. Payments may also be made, upon direction, for other plan expenses. FIIOC may also pay an affiliate for providing services that otherwise would have been performed by FIIOC.

In certain situations where FIIOC or an affiliate provides recordkeeping services to a retirement plan, payments may be made to pay for plan expenses. The amount of such payments may be based on investments in particular Fidelity funds, or may be fixed for a given period of time. Upon direction, payments may be made to plan sponsors, or at the direction of plan sponsors, third parties, for expenses incurred in connection with the plan. FIIOC may also pay an affiliate for providing services that otherwise would have been performed by FIIOC.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with Citibank. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-service agent agreement with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FSC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends for shares of the fund and maintaining the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and receives all related pricing and bookkeeping fees paid to Citibank.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0259% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0156% of average net assets between $500 million and $3.5 billion, 0.0041% of average net assets between $3.5 billion and $25 billion, and 0.0019% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion.

<R>For the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, 2009, and February 29, 2008, the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees of $299,623, $301,003, and $306,618, respectively.</R>

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity California Municipal Trust, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated April 28, 1983. On August 15, 2005, Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund changed its name from Spartan® California Municipal Income Fund to Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund. Currently, there are two funds offered in the trust: Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund and Fidelity California Short-Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund, except that liabilities and expenses may be allocated to a particular class. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds or classes.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote. Claims asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class of shares to certain liabilities.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

<R>Custodian. Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. From time to time, subject to approval by a fund's Treasurer, the fund may enter into escrow arrangements with other banks if necessary to participate in certain investment offerings.</R>

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

<R>Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 125 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts, independent registered public accounting firm, examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.</R>

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, and report of the independent registered public accounting firm, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference. Total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table may differ from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights because total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table include any acquired fund fees and expenses, whereas the ratios of expenses in the financial highlights do not. Acquired funds include other investment companies (such as central funds or other underlying funds) in which the fund has invested, if and to the extent it is permitted to do so. Total annual operating expenses in the prospectus fee table and the financial highlights do not include any expenses associated with investments in certain structured or synthetic products that may rely on the exception from the definition of "investment company" provided by section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act.

FUND HOLDINGS INFORMATION

The fund views holdings information as sensitive and limits its dissemination. The Board authorized FMR to establish and administer guidelines for the dissemination of fund holdings information, which may be amended at any time without prior notice. FMR's Disclosure Policy Committee (comprising executive officers of FMR) evaluates disclosure policy with the goal of serving the fund's best interests by striking an appropriate balance between providing information about the fund's portfolio and protecting the fund from potentially harmful disclosure. The Board reviews the administration and modification of these guidelines and receives reports from the fund's chief compliance officer periodically.

The fund will provide a full list of holdings monthly on www.fidelity.com 30 days after the month-end (excluding high income security holdings, which generally will be presented collectively monthly and included in a list of full holdings 60 days after its fiscal quarter-end).

This information will be available on the web site until updated for the next applicable period.

The fund may also from time to time provide or make available to the Board or third parties upon request specific fund level performance attribution information and statistics. Third parties may include fund shareholders or prospective fund shareholders, members of the press, consultants, and ratings and ranking organizations.

The Use of Holdings In Connection With Fund Operations. Material non-public holdings information may be provided as part of the investment activities of the fund to: entities which, by explicit agreement or by virtue of their respective duties to the fund, are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed; other parties if legally required; or persons FMR believes will not misuse the disclosed information. These entities, parties, and persons include: the fund's trustees; the fund's manager, its sub-advisers and their affiliates whose access persons are subject to a code of ethics; contractors who are subject to a confidentiality agreement; the fund's auditors; the fund's custodians; proxy voting service providers; financial printers; pricing service vendors; broker-dealers in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or requests for price quotations or bids on one or more securities; securities lending agents; counsel to the fund or its Independent Trustees; regulatory authorities; stock exchanges and other listing organizations; parties to litigation; and third-parties in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding relating to a fund holding. Non-public holdings information may also be provided to an issuer regarding the number or percentage of its shares that are owned by a fund and in connection with redemptions in kind.

Other Uses Of Holdings Information. In addition, the fund may provide material non-public holdings information to (i) third-parties that calculate information derived from holdings for use by FMR or its affiliates, (ii) third parties that supply their analyses of holdings (but not the holdings themselves) to their clients (including sponsors of retirement plans or their consultants), (iii) ratings and rankings organizations, and (iv) an investment adviser, trustee, or their agents to whom holdings are disclosed for due diligence purposes or in anticipation of a merger involving the fund. Each individual request is reviewed by the Disclosure Policy Committee which must find, in its sole discretion that, based on the specific facts and circumstances, the disclosure appears unlikely to be harmful to the fund. Entities receiving this information must have in place control mechanisms to reasonably ensure or otherwise agree that, (a) the holdings information will be kept confidential, (b) no employee shall use the information to effect trading or for their personal benefit, and (c) the nature and type of information that they, in turn, may disclose to third-parties is limited. FMR relies primarily on the existence of non-disclosure agreements and/or control mechanisms when determining that disclosure is not likely to be harmful to the fund.

At this time, the entities receiving information described in the preceding paragraph are: Factset Research Systems Inc. (full or partial fund holdings daily, on the next business day); Thomson Vestek (full holdings, as of the end of the calendar quarter, 15 calendar days after the calendar quarter-end); Standard & Poor's Rating Services (full holdings weekly (generally as of the previous Friday), generally 5 business days thereafter); Moody's Investors Service (full holdings monthly, (generally as of the last Friday of each month), generally the first Friday of the following month); Anacomp Inc. (full or partial holdings daily, on the next business day); and MSCI Inc. and certain affiliates (full or partial fund holdings daily, on the next business day).

FMR, its affiliates, or the fund will not enter into any arrangements with third-parties from which they derive consideration for the disclosure of material non-public holdings information. If, in the future, FMR desired to make such an arrangement, it would seek prior Board approval and any such arrangements would be disclosed in the fund's SAI.

There can be no assurance that the fund's policies and procedures with respect to disclosure of fund portfolio holdings will prevent the misuse of such information by individuals and firms that receive such information.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated and if you hold your shares:

Portfolio Turnover

<R>The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 15% of the average value of its portfolio.</R>

Principal Investment Strategies

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index designed to represent Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time.
  • Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities.
  • Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
  • Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
  • Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including derivatives.

Prospectus

Principal Investment Risks

  • Municipal Market Volatility. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
  • Geographic Concentration. Unfavorable political or economic conditions within California can affect the credit quality of issuers located in that state.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease.
  • Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance

<R>The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and an additional index over various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the Additional Information about the Indexes section of the prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of future performance.</R>

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The municipal securities in which the fund invests are normally investment-grade (those of medium and high quality). Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes include securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to California personal income tax. Although FMR does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

FMR uses a California bond index as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. This index, a market value-weighted index of California investment-grade fixed-rate municipal bonds, is designed to represent FMR's view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. FMR may, from time to time, change the index or the characteristics of the index in response to changes in the market or the fund's peer group, for example, when the observed interest rate sensitivity or credit composition of the fund's competitive universe deviates from that of the index.

FMR considers other factors when selecting the fund's investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current valuation relative to alternatives in the market, short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and potential future valuation. In managing the fund's exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, FMR considers, among other things, the market's overall risk characteristics, the market's current pricing of those risks, information on the fund's competitive universe and internal views of potential future market conditions.

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the relative value of each sector and maturity.

FMR may engage in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives, regardless of whether the fund may own the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative, and forward-settling securities. FMR may invest a significant portion of the fund's assets in these types of investments.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may invest the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or pre-refunded or escrowed bonds, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters of credit, guarantees, or insurance.

Derivatives are investments whose values are tied to an underlying asset, instrument, or index. Derivatives include futures, options, and swaps, such as interest rate swaps (exchanging a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (exchanging a floating rate for the total return of a security or index) and credit default swaps (buying or selling credit default protection).

Forward-settling securities involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities when issued, or at a predetermined price or yield. Payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates the fund's investments in California, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

The fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.

Prospectus

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Municipal Market Volatility. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market, and market conditions may directly impact the liquidity and valuation of municipal securities.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

<R>Geographic Concentration. California is continuing to experience financial difficulties due to the ongoing economic crisis. The deterioration of California's fiscal situation increases the risk of investing in California municipal securities, including the risk of greater volatility and potential issuer default. Several rating agencies have recently downgraded California's general obligation bond rating. Further downgrades could result in a reduction in the market value of California municipal securities.</R>

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable and the security could decline significantly in value.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

Leverage Risk. Derivatives and forward-settling securities involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. A small change in the underlying asset, instrument, or index can lead to a significant loss. Assets segregated to cover these transactions may decline in value and are not available to meet redemptions. Forward-settling securities also involve the risk that a security will not be issued, delivered, or paid for when anticipated.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance, and the fund could distribute income subject to federal or California personal income tax.

Prospectus

Fundamental Investment Policies

The following policies are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.

A class's NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing each class's NAV.

NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Excessive Trading Policy

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in the fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to such transactions exceeding $5,000. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. FMR will apply these policies through a phased implementation. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Prospectus

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Qualified Wrap Programs

The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

In addition to these policies, the fund imposes a short-term redemption fee on redemptions from the fund, which is discussed in "Selling Shares." As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of Class A or Class T is its offering price or its NAV, depending on whether you pay a front-end sales charge.

The price to buy one share of Class B or Class C is its NAV. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC upon redemption.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

If you pay a front-end sales charge, your price will be Class A's or Class T's offering price. When you buy Class A or Class T shares at the offering price, Fidelity deducts the appropriate sales charge and invests the rest in Class A or Class T shares of the fund. If you qualify for a front-end sales charge waiver, your price will be Class A's or Class T's NAV.

The offering price of Class A or Class T is its NAV plus the sales charge. The offering price is calculated by dividing Class A's or Class T's NAV by the difference between one and the applicable front-end sales charge percentage and rounding to the nearest cent.

The dollar amount of the sales charge for Class A or Class T is the difference between the offering price of the shares purchased and the NAV of those shares. Since the offering price per share is calculated to the nearest cent using standard rounding criteria, the percentage sales charge you actually pay may be higher or lower than the sales charge percentages shown in this prospectus due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your investment and the size of the class's NAV.

Your investment professional can help you choose the class of shares that best suits your investment needs.

Your shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next calculated after your order is received in proper form.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for (i) fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from a Fidelity systematic withdrawal service or (ii) certain mutual fund wrap program accounts. An eligible wrap program must offer asset allocation services, charge an asset-based fee to its participants for asset allocation and/or other advisory services, and meet trading and other operational requirements under an appropriate agreement with FDC. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

Purchase and balance minimums are waived for purchases of Class T shares with distributions from a Fidelity Defined Trust account.

Prospectus

Purchase amounts of more than $49,999 will not be accepted for Class B shares.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an automated order placement and settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specified date.

Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria established by FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution will be liable for any losses.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C is its NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, and any applicable CDSC.

If you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days, a 0.50% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The fees are paid to the fund, not Fidelity, and are designed to help offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term shareholder trading.

The short-term redemption fee does not apply to: (i) redemptions of shares acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions; (ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund, or transfers between classes of a multiple class fund (if applicable) as long as the money never leaves the fund; and (iii) redemptions in kind.

The fund also permits waivers of the short-term redemption fee for the following transactions:

  • Redemptions related to death or due to a divorce decree.

The application of short-term redemption fees and waivers may vary among intermediaries and certain intermediaries may not apply the waivers listed above. If you purchase or sell fund shares through an intermediary, you should contact your intermediary for more information on whether the short-term redemption fee will be applied to redemptions of your shares.

The fund reserves the right to modify or eliminate the short-term redemption fee or waivers at any time. Investment advisers or their affiliates may pay short-term redemption fees on behalf of investors in managed accounts. Unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets may be treated as a single account for redemption fee purposes.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Fidelity seeks to identify intermediaries that hold fund shares in omnibus accounts and will refuse their purchase orders if they do not agree to track and remit short-term redemption fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. There are no assurances that Fidelity will successfully identify all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess short-term redemption fees.

Any applicable CDSC is calculated based on your original redemption amount (before deducting any applicable redemption fee).

Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, and any applicable CDSC. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, and any applicable CDSC. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:

  • When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address;
  • When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker-dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

  • If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above the required minimum to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.

Prospectus

  • Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
  • Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
  • Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
  • Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

<R>To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. The fund no longer issues share certificates.</R>

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a Class A shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class A shares of the fund for the same class of shares of other Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares at NAV or for Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund.

As a Class T shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class T shares of the fund for the same class of shares of other Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares at NAV or for Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund. If you purchased your Class T shares through certain investment professionals that have signed an agreement with FDC, you also have the privilege of exchanging your Class T shares for shares of Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund.

As a Class B shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class B shares of the fund for the same class of shares of other Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for Advisor B Class shares of Treasury Fund.

As a Class C shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class C shares of the fund for the same class of shares of other Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund.

Through your investment professional, you may also move between certain share classes of the same fund. For more information, see the statement of additional information (SAI) or consult your investment professional.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

  • The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

  • Any exchanges of Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares are not subject to a CDSC.
  • Before exchanging into a fund or class, read its prospectus.
  • The fund or class you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
  • Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
  • If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
  • Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The fund may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums, and may impose redemption fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The fund normally pays capital gain distributions in April and December.

Earning Dividends

The fund processes purchase and redemption requests only on days it is open for business.

When you buy shares, your method of payment will determine when dividends begin to accrue. For example, shares purchased through an investment professional using the National Securities Clearing Corporation generally begin to earn dividends on the day the fund receives payment for those shares. Shares purchased through an investment professional by any other method generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day the fund receives payment. If you purchase your shares directly from the fund by check or wire, those shares generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day you placed your purchase order.

Shares sold through an investment professional using the National Securities Clearing Corporation generally earn dividends until, but not including, the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold through an investment professional by any other method generally earn dividends until, but not including, the first business day following the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold other than through an investment professional generally earn dividends until, but not including, the first business day following the day of redemption.

Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for each class:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of certain identically registered Fidelity funds. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of certain identically registered Fidelity funds, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the fund, or paid in cash.

Prospectus

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, contact your investment professional directly or call Fidelity.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you.

Taxes on distributions. The fund seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and California personal income tax.

A portion of the dividends you receive may be subject to federal, state, or local income tax or may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. You may also receive taxable distributions attributable to the fund's sale of municipal bonds.

For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of short-term capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market discount, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while the fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

For California personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of California issuers and from interest on qualifying securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions are generally exempt from tax. Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to California personal income tax.

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as taxable income or a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax or California personal income tax purposes. A return of capital generally will not be taxable to you but will reduce the cost basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a potentially taxable distribution.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions automatically in the same class of shares of another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of certain Fidelity funds, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal and California personal income tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

<R>The SAI provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Mr. Pagliocco.</R>

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For February 2010, the group fee rate was 0.12%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25%.</R>

<R>The total management fee for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, was 0.37% of the fund's average net assets. Because the fund's management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund's management fee may be higher or lower in the future.</R>

FMR pays FIMM, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services. FMR and its affiliates pay FRAC for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund's annual report for the fiscal period ended February 28, 2009.

Investments in Class T shares of $1 million or more may, upon redemption less than one year after purchase, for any reason, including failure to maintain the account minimum, be assessed a CDSC of 0.25%. The actual CDSC you pay may be higher or lower than that calculated using this percentage due to rounding.

When exchanging Class T shares of one fund for Class T shares of another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund, your Class T shares retain the CDSC schedule in effect when they were originally bought.

Class A or Class T shares purchased by an individual or company through the Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, or Letter of Intent program may receive a reduced front-end sales charge according to the sales charge schedules above. To qualify for a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction under one of these programs, you must notify Fidelity in advance of your purchase.

Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent Programs. The following qualify as an "individual" or "company" for the purposes of determining eligibility for the Combined Purchase and Rights of Accumulation program: an individual, spouse, and their children under age 21 purchasing for his/her or their own account; a trustee, administrator, or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust estate or a single fiduciary account or for a single or parent-subsidiary group of "employee benefit plans" (except SEP and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans)) and 403(b) programs; and tax-exempt organizations (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code). The following qualify as an "individual" or "company" for the purposes of determining eligibility for the Letter of Intent program: an individual, spouse, and their children under age 21 purchasing for his/her or their own account; a trustee, administrator, or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust estate or a single fiduciary account (except SEP and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans)); an IRA or plans covering sole-proprietors (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans); plans investing through the Fidelity Advisor 403(b) program; and tax-exempt organizations (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code).

Combined Purchase. To receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction, if you are a new shareholder, you may combine your purchase of Class A or Class T shares with purchases of: (i) Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund, and (iii) Class A Units (New and Old), Class B Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Combined Purchase program, they must be made on the same day through one intermediary.

Prospectus

Rights of Accumulation. To receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction, if you are an existing shareholder, you may add to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares the current value of your holdings in: (i) Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund, (iii) Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund acquired by exchange from any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iv) Class O shares of Advisor Diversified Stock Fund and Advisor Capital Development Fund, and (v) Class A Units (New and Old), Class B Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. The current value of your holdings is determined at the NAV at the close of business on the day prior to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares. The current value of your holdings will be added to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program. For your purchases and holdings to be aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program, they must have been made through one intermediary.

Letter of Intent. You may receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction on your purchases of Class A and Class T shares made during a 13-month period by signing a Letter of Intent (Letter). You must file your Letter with Fidelity within 90 days of the start of your purchases toward completing your Letter. Each Class A or Class T purchase you make toward completing your Letter will be entitled to the reduced front-end sales charge applicable to the total investment indicated in the Letter. Purchases of the following may be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter: (i) Class A and Class T shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares (except those acquired by exchange from Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund that had been previously exchanged from a Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares), (ii) Class B and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund, and (iv) Class A Units (New and Old), Class B Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. Reinvested income and capital gain distributions will not be considered purchases for the purpose of completing your Letter. For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter, they must be made through one intermediary. Your initial purchase toward completing your Letter must be at least 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter. Fidelity will register Class A or Class T shares equal to 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter in your name and will hold those shares in escrow. You will earn income, dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed Class A and Class T shares. The escrow will be released when you complete your Letter. You are not obligated to complete your Letter. If you do not complete your Letter, you must pay the increased front-end sales charges due. If you do not pay the increased front-end sales charges within 20 days after the date your Letter expires, Fidelity will redeem sufficient escrowed Class A or Class T shares to pay any applicable front-end sales charges. If you purchase more than the amount specified in your Letter and qualify for additional Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reductions, the front-end sales charge will be adjusted to reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months and the surplus amount will be applied to your purchase of additional Class A or Class T shares at the then-current offering price applicable to the total investment.

When exchanging Class B shares of one fund for Class B shares of another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or Advisor B Class shares of Treasury Fund, your Class B shares retain the CDSC schedule in effect when they were originally bought.

Except as provided below, investment professionals receive as compensation from FDC, at the time of sale, a concession equal to 4.00% of your purchase of Class B shares. For purchases of Class B shares through reinvested dividends or capital gain distributions, investment professionals do not receive a concession at the time of sale.

Class C shares may, upon redemption less than one year after purchase, for any reason, including failure to maintain the account minimum, be assessed a CDSC of 1.00%. The actual CDSC you pay may be higher or lower than that calculated using this percentage due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your investment and the size of the class's NAV.

Prospectus

Except as provided below, investment professionals will receive as compensation from FDC, at the time of the sale, a concession equal to 1.00% of your purchase of Class C shares. For purchases of Class C shares made for an intermediary-sponsored managed account program, employee benefit plan, 403(b) program or plan covering a sole-proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plan) or through reinvested dividends or capital gain distributions, investment professionals do not receive a concession at the time of sale.

The CDSC for Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares will be calculated based on the lesser of the cost of each class's shares, as applicable, at the initial date of purchase or the value of those shares, as applicable, at redemption, not including any reinvested dividends or capital gains. Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions will not be subject to a CDSC. In determining the applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption, shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains will be redeemed first, followed by those shares that have been held for the longest period of time.

A front-end sales charge will not apply to the following Class A or Class T shares:

1. Purchased for an employee benefit plan other than a plan investing through the Fidelity Advisor 403(b) program.

Information on sales charge reductions and waivers is available free of charge on www.advisor.fidelity.com.

Finder's Fees. Finder's fees may be paid to investment professionals who sell Class A and Class T shares in purchase amounts of $1 million or more. For Class A share purchases, investment professionals may be compensated at the time of purchase with a finder's fee at the rate of 0.75% of the purchase amount for purchases of $1 million up to $4 million, 0.50% of the purchase amount for purchases of $4 million up to $25 million, and 0.25% of the purchase amount for purchases of $25 million or more. For Class T purchases, investment professionals may be compensated at the time of purchase with a finder's fee at the rate of 0.25% of the purchase amount.

Investment professionals may be eligible for a finder's fee on the following purchases of Class A and Class T shares made through broker-dealers and banks: a trade that brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor, including a 403(b) program or an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)), over $1 million; a trade for an investor with an accumulated account value of $1 million or more; and an incremental trade toward an investor's $1 million Letter. Accumulated account value for purposes of finder's fees eligibility is determined the same as it is for Rights of Accumulation. Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund are not counted for this purpose unless acquired by exchange from any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares. For information, see "Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent Programs" above.

Fund Services - continued

Finder's fees are not paid in connection with purchases of Class A or Class T shares by insurance company separate accounts or the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, or purchases of Class A or Class T shares made with the proceeds from the redemption of shares of any Fidelity fund or any retirement plan recordkept at Fidelity.

Investment professionals should contact Fidelity in advance to determine if they qualify to receive a finder's fee. Finder's fees will be paid in connection with shares recordkept in a Fidelity Advisor 401(k) Retirement Plan only at the time of the initial conversion of assets. Investment professionals should contact Fidelity for more information.

Reinstatement Privilege. If you have sold all or part of your Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares of the fund, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption proceeds in the same class of the fund or another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, at the NAV next determined after receipt in proper form of your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days of redemption. Under these circumstances, the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid, if any, on shares will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares, as applicable. You must reinstate your Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares into an account with the same registration. This privilege may be exercised only once by a shareholder with respect to the fund and certain restrictions may apply. For purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares had not been redeemed.

To qualify for the reinstatement privilege, you must notify Fidelity in writing in advance of your reinvestment.

Conversion Feature. After a maximum of seven years from the initial date of purchase, Class B shares and any capital appreciation associated with those shares convert automatically to Class A shares of the fund. Conversion to Class A shares will be made at NAV. At the time of conversion, a portion of the Class B shares bought through the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains (Dividend Shares) will also convert to Class A shares. The portion of Dividend Shares that will convert is determined by the ratio of your converting Class B non-Dividend Shares to your total Class B non-Dividend Shares.

Class A has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Class A is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee as compensation for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class A may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not approved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of Class A's average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class A shareholders to do so.

Class T may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not approved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of Class T's average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class T shareholders to do so.

In addition, pursuant to the Class T plan, Class T pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class T's average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.

FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries (such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers), including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.

Class C has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

Class C currently pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of its average net assets throughout the month.

In addition, pursuant to the Class C plan, Class C pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class C's average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.

Normally, after the first year of investment, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of the 12b-1 (distribution) fees to intermediaries (such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers), including its affiliates, for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to the full amount of the 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.

Any fees paid out of a class's assets on an ongoing basis pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

In addition to the above payments, each plan specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of the applicable class's shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC or one or more affiliates, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

Fund Summary

Fund/Class:
Fidelity® California Municipal Income Fund/Fidelity Advisor California Municipal Income Fund Institutional

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

 

Redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days (as a % of amount redeemed)

0.50%

Annual class operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

<R>Management fee

0.37%</R>

<R>Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees

None</R>

<R>Other expenses

0.14%</R>

<R>Total annual operating expenses

0.51%</R>

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

<R>1 year

$ 52</R>

<R>3 years

$ 164</R>

<R>5 years

$ 285</R>

<R>10 years

$ 640</R>

Portfolio Turnover

<R>The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 15% of the average value of its portfolio.</R>

Principal Investment Strategies

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index designed to represent Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time.
  • Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities.
  • Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
  • Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
  • Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including derivatives.

Principal Investment Risks

  • Municipal Market Volatility. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
  • Geographic Concentration. Unfavorable political or economic conditions within California can affect the credit quality of issuers located in that state.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease.
  • Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance

Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The municipal securities in which the fund invests are normally investment-grade (those of medium and high quality). Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes include securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to California personal income tax. Although FMR does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

FMR uses a California bond index as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. This index, a market value-weighted index of California investment-grade fixed-rate municipal bonds, is designed to represent FMR's view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. FMR may, from time to time, change the index or the characteristics of the index in response to changes in the market or the fund's peer group, for example, when the observed interest rate sensitivity or credit composition of the fund's competitive universe deviates from that of the index.

FMR considers other factors when selecting the fund's investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current valuation relative to alternatives in the market, short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and potential future valuation. In managing the fund's exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, FMR considers, among other things, the market's overall risk characteristics, the market's current pricing of those risks, information on the fund's competitive universe and internal views of potential future market conditions.

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the relative value of each sector and maturity.

FMR may engage in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives, regardless of whether the fund may own the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative, and forward-settling securities. FMR may invest a significant portion of the fund's assets in these types of investments.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may invest the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or pre-refunded or escrowed bonds, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters of credit, guarantees, or insurance.

Derivatives are investments whose values are tied to an underlying asset, instrument, or index. Derivatives include futures, options, and swaps, such as interest rate swaps (exchanging a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (exchanging a floating rate for the total return of a security or index) and credit default swaps (buying or selling credit default protection).

Forward-settling securities involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities when issued, or at a predetermined price or yield. Payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates the fund's investments in California, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

The fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.

Prospectus

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Municipal Market Volatility. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market, and market conditions may directly impact the liquidity and valuation of municipal securities.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

<R>Geographic Concentration. California is continuing to experience financial difficulties due to the ongoing economic crisis. The deterioration of California's fiscal situation increases the risk of investing in California municipal securities, including the risk of greater volatility and potential issuer default. Several rating agencies have recently downgraded California's general obligation bond rating. Further downgrades could result in a reduction in the market value of California municipal securities.</R>

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable and the security could decline significantly in value.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

Leverage Risk. Derivatives and forward-settling securities involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. A small change in the underlying asset, instrument, or index can lead to a significant loss. Assets segregated to cover these transactions may decline in value and are not available to meet redemptions. Forward-settling securities also involve the risk that a security will not be issued, delivered, or paid for when anticipated.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance, and the fund could distribute income subject to federal or California personal income tax.

Prospectus

Fundamental Investment Policies

The following policies are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.

A class's NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the class's NAV.

NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Shareholder Information

Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares

General Information

You may buy or sell Institutional Class shares of the fund through an investment professional. When you invest through an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging Institutional Class shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ. Additional fees may also apply to your investment in Institutional Class shares of the fund, including a transaction fee if you buy or sell Institutional Class shares of the fund through a broker or other investment professional.

You should include the following information with any order to buy, sell, or exchange shares:

  • Your name;
  • Your account number;
  • Name of fund whose shares you want to buy or sell; and
  • Dollar amount or number of shares you want to buy or sell.

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity, such as by telephone, may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity).

Excessive Trading Policy

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in the fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to such transactions exceeding $5,000. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. FMR will apply these policies through a phased implementation. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

Prospectus

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Qualified Wrap Programs

The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

In addition to these policies, the fund imposes a short-term redemption fee on redemptions from the fund, which is discussed in "Selling Shares." As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

Institutional Class shares are offered to:

1. Employee benefit plans investing through an intermediary. For this purpose, employee benefit plans generally include profit sharing, 401(k), and 403(b) plans, but do not include: IRAs; SIMPLE, SEP, or SARSEP plans; plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans); health savings accounts; or plans investing through the Fidelity Advisor 403(b) program;

2. Insurance company separate accounts;

3. Broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, insurance company, trust institution and bank trust department managed account programs that charge an asset-based fee;

4. Current or former Trustees or officers of a Fidelity fund or current or retired officers, directors, or regular employees of FMR LLC or FIL Limited or their direct or indirect subsidiaries (Fidelity Trustee or employee), spouses of Fidelity Trustees or employees, Fidelity Trustees or employees acting as a custodian for a minor child, or persons acting as trustee of a trust for the sole benefit of the minor child of a Fidelity Trustee or employee;

5. Qualified tuition programs for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, or mutual funds managed by Fidelity or other parties;

6. Non-U.S. public and private retirement programs and non-U.S. insurance companies, if approved by Fidelity;

7. Broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, insurance company, trust institution, and bank trust department health savings account programs; and

8. Destiny Planholders who exchange, or have exchanged, from Class O to Institutional Class of Fidelity Advisor funds.

The price to buy one share of Institutional Class is its NAV. Institutional Class shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for (i) investments through Portfolio Advisory Services, (ii) investments through a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, (iii) fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from a Fidelity systematic withdrawal service, or (iv) certain mutual fund wrap program accounts. An eligible wrap program must offer asset allocation services, charge an asset-based fee to its participants for asset allocation and/or other advisory services, and meet trading and other operational requirements under an appropriate agreement with FDC. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

Prospectus

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Institutional Class shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an automated order placement and settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specified date.

Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria established by FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution will be liable for any losses.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of Institutional Class is its NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable.

If you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days, a 0.50% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The fees are paid to the fund, not Fidelity, and are designed to help offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term shareholder trading.

The short-term redemption fee does not apply to: (i) redemptions of shares acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions; (ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund, or transfers between classes of a multiple class fund (if applicable) as long as the money never leaves the fund; and (iii) redemptions in kind.

The fund also permits waivers of the short-term redemption fee for the following transactions:

  • Redemptions related to death or due to a divorce decree.

The application of short-term redemption fees and waivers may vary among intermediaries and certain intermediaries may not apply the waivers listed above. If you purchase or sell fund shares through an intermediary, you should contact your intermediary for more information on whether the short-term redemption fee will be applied to redemptions of your shares.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

The fund reserves the right to modify or eliminate the short-term redemption fee or waivers at any time. Investment advisers or their affiliates may pay short-term redemption fees on behalf of investors in managed accounts. Unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets may be treated as a single account for redemption fee purposes.

Fidelity seeks to identify intermediaries that hold fund shares in omnibus accounts and will refuse their purchase orders if they do not agree to track and remit short-term redemption fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. There are no assurances that Fidelity will successfully identify all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess short-term redemption fees.

Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:

  • When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address;
  • When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker-dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

Prospectus

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

  • If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above the required minimum to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
  • Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
  • Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
  • Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
  • Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

<R>To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. The fund no longer issues share certificates.</R>

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As an Institutional Class shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging your Institutional Class shares for Institutional Class shares of other Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for shares of Fidelity funds.

Through your investment professional, you may also move between certain share classes of the same fund. For more information, see the statement of additional information (SAI) or consult your investment professional.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

  • The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
  • Before exchanging into a fund or class, read its prospectus.
  • The fund or class you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
  • Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
  • If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.

Policies

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

  • Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).
  • Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed, even if more than one person in a household holds shares of the fund. Call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.

Prospectus

You may also be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

If your fund balance falls below $1,000 worth of shares for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV, and you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you after providing you with at least 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The fund normally pays capital gain distributions in April and December.

Earning Dividends

The fund processes purchase and redemption requests only on days it is open for business.

When you buy shares, your method of payment will determine when dividends begin to accrue. For example, shares purchased through an investment professional using the National Securities Clearing Corporation generally begin to earn dividends on the day the fund receives payment for those shares. Shares purchased through an investment professional by any other method generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day the fund receives payment. If you purchase your shares directly from the fund by check or wire, those shares generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day you placed your purchase order.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Shares sold through an investment professional using the National Securities Clearing Corporation generally earn dividends until, but not including, the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold through an investment professional by any other method generally earn dividends until, but not including, the first business day following the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold other than through an investment professional generally earn dividends until, but not including, the first business day following the day of redemption.

Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for Institutional Class:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Institutional Class shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Institutional Class shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

Your dividends will be automatically invested in Institutional Class shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of identically registered Fidelity funds. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in Institutional Class shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of identically registered Fidelity funds, automatically reinvested in additional Institutional Class shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, contact your investment professional directly or call Fidelity.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you.

Taxes on distributions. The fund seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and California personal income tax.

Prospectus

A portion of the dividends you receive may be subject to federal, state, or local income tax or may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. You may also receive taxable distributions attributable to the fund's sale of municipal bonds.

For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of short-term capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market discount, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while the fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

For California personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of California issuers and from interest on qualifying securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions are generally exempt from tax. Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to California personal income tax.

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as taxable income or a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax or California personal income tax purposes. A return of capital generally will not be taxable to you but will reduce the cost basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a potentially taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions automatically in Institutional Class shares of another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of Fidelity funds, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal and California personal income tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

<R>Jamie Pagliocco is portfolio manager of the fund, which he has managed since July 2006. He also manages other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 2001, Mr. Pagliocco has worked as a municipal bond trader, assistant fixed income head trader, and portfolio manager.</R>

The SAI provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Mr. Pagliocco.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For February 2010, the group fee rate was 0.12%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25%.</R>

<R>The total management fee for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, was 0.37% of the fund's average net assets. Because the fund's management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund's management fee may be higher or lower in the future.</R>

FMR pays FIMM, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services. FMR and its affiliates pay FRAC for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund's annual report for the fiscal period ended February 28, 2009.

Prospectus

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a class's expenses and boost its performance.

Effective August 1, 2002, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Institutional Class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.55%. This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time.

<R> </R>

Fund Distribution

The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes Institutional Class's shares.

Intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of Institutional Class shares. This compensation may take the form of payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services and payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.

Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

Institutional Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Institutional Class shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for Institutional Class.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of Institutional Class's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of Fidelity® California Municipal Income Fund (the fund)'s assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.

Senior Securities

The fund may not issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Borrowing

The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.

Underwriting

The fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies.

Concentration

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, FMR may analyze the characteristics of a particular issuer and security and assign an industry or sector classification consistent with those characteristics in the event that the third party classification provider used by FMR does not assign a classification.

Real Estate

The fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).

Commodities

The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).

Loans

The fund may not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

Pooled Funds

The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Diversification

In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits imposed by Subchapter M.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, Subchapter M generally requires the fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that (a) no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities of any one issuer, and (b) the fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter M) and securities of other regulated investment companies. These tax requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, FMR identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

Short Sales

The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts, options, and swaps are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

Margin Purchases

The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

Borrowing

The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of the fundamental borrowing investment limitation).

Illiquid Securities

The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

For purposes of the fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Loans

The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities.

Pooled Funds

The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

In addition to the fund's fundamental and non-fundamental limitations discussed above:

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of purchase contracts, financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by municipalities. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market or short-term bond funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities. A municipal fund's uninvested cash may earn credits that reduce fund expenses.

Central Funds are special types of investment vehicles created by Fidelity for use by the Fidelity funds and other advisory clients. FMR uses central funds to invest in particular security types or investment disciplines, or for cash management. Central funds incur certain costs related to their investment activity (such as custodial fees and expenses), but do not pay additional management fees to Fidelity. The investment results of the portions of the fund's assets invested in the central funds will be based upon the investment results of those funds.

Dollar-Weighted Average Maturity is derived by multiplying the value of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date. When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call an issue of bonds and has established an independent escrow account that is sufficient to, and is pledged to, refund that issue, the number of days to maturity for the prerefunded bond is considered to be the number of days to the announced call date of the bonds.

Duration of a bond is a measure of the approximate sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rates. Duration is expressed in years. Except for zero coupon bonds, duration is generally shorter than maturity because much of a bond's return consists of interest paid prior to the maturity date. Bonds with longer durations usually have more interest rate sensitivity and price volatility than bonds with shorter durations. Typically, if a bond had a duration of 5 years and interest rates rose 1%, the market value of the bond would decline 5%.

<R>Futures, Options, and Swaps. The success of any strategy involving futures, options, and swaps depends on an adviser's analysis of many economic and mathematical factors and a fund's return may be higher if it never invested in such instruments. Additionally, some of the contracts discussed below are new instruments without a trading history and there can be no assurance that a market for the instruments will continue to exist. Future government legislation or regulation of derivatives could affect the fund's use of such instruments and could limit the ability of the fund to pursue its investment strategies.</R>

<R>Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index, and some are based on Eurodollars. Futures on indices and futures not calling for physical delivery of the underlying instrument will be settled through cash payments rather than through delivery of the underlying instrument. Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out by offsetting purchases or sales of futures contracts before then if a liquid market is available. The fund may realize a gain or loss by closing out its futures contracts.</R>

Positions in Eurodollar futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

<R>The purchaser or seller of a futures contract or an option for a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument or the final cash settlement price, as applicable, unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. This process of "marking to market" will be reflected in the daily calculation of open positions computed in a fund's net asset value per share (NAV). The party that has a gain is entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund. A fund is required to segregate liquid assets equivalent to the fund's outstanding obligations under the contract in excess of the initial margin and variation margin, if any.</R>

<R>There is no assurance a liquid market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. Exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or other market conditions, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its futures positions could also be impaired. These risks may be heightened for commodity futures contracts, which have historically been subject to greater price volatility than exists for instruments such as stocks and bonds.</R>

Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

<R>Futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments. In addition, the price of a commodity futures contract can reflect the storage costs associated with the purchase of the physical commodity.</R>

<R>Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific assets or securities, indices of securities or commodities prices, and futures contracts (including commodity futures contracts). The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.</R>

<R>The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if the underlying instrument's price falls substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).</R>

<R>The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if the underlying instrument's price falls. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if the underlying instrument's price does not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.</R>

The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay or receive the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

<R>If the underlying instrument's price rises, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If the underlying instrument's price remains the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If the underlying instrument's price falls, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.</R>

<R>Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument or make a net cash settlement payment, as applicable, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price increase. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument or make a net cash settlement payment, as applicable, in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.</R>

There is no assurance a liquid market will exist for any particular options contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options positions could also be impaired.

Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally are less liquid and involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are backed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Combined positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

A fund may also buy and sell options on swaps. Options on interest rate swaps are known as swaptions. An option on a swap gives a party the right to enter into a new swap agreement or to extend, shorten, cancel or modify an existing swap contract at a specific date in the future in exchange for a premium.

Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

<R>Swap Agreements. Swaps are individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. Swap agreements can vary in term like other fixed-income investments. Most swap agreements are traded over-the-counter. In a standard "swap" transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments (such as securities, commodities, or indices). The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, which is the predetermined dollar principal of the trade representing the hypothetical underlying quantity upon which payment obligations are computed.</R>

<R>Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names, including interest rate swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for a fixed rate), asset swaps (where parties combine the purchase or sale of a bond with an interest rate swap), total return swaps and credit default swaps. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield. Swap agreements are subject to liquidity risk, meaning that a fund may be unable to sell a swap contract to a third party at a favorable price.</R>

<R>A total return swap is a contract whereby one party agrees to make a series of payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying such contract (which can include a security, commodity, index or baskets thereof) during the specified period. In exchange, the other party to the contract agrees to make a series of payments calculated by reference to an interest rate and/or some other agreed-upon amount (including the change in market value of other underlying assets). A fund may use total return swaps to gain exposure to an asset without owning it or taking physical custody of it. For example, a fund investing in total return commodity swaps will receive the price appreciation of a commodity, commodity index or portion thereof in exchange for payment of an agreed-upon fee.</R>

In a credit default swap, the credit default protection buyer makes periodic payments, known as premiums, to the credit default protection seller. In return the credit default protection seller will make a payment to the credit default protection buyer upon the occurrence of a specified credit event. A credit default swap can refer to a single issuer or asset, a basket of issuers or assets or index of assets, each known as the reference entity or underlying asset. A fund may act as either the buyer or the seller of a credit default swap. A fund may buy or sell credit default protection on a basket of issuers or assets, even if a number of the underlying assets referenced in the basket are lower-quality debt securities. In an unhedged credit default swap, a fund buys credit default protection on a single issuer or asset, a basket of issuers or assets or index of assets without owning the underlying asset or debt issued by the reference entity. Credit default swaps involve greater and different risks than investing directly in the referenced asset, because, in addition to market risk, credit default swaps include liquidity, counterparty and operational risk.

Credit default swaps allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer, asset or basket of assets. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. If the fund is the credit default protection seller, the fund will experience a loss if a credit event occurs and the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has deteriorated. If the fund is the credit default protection buyer, the fund will be required to pay premiums to the credit default protection seller. In the case of a physically settled credit default swap in which the fund is the protection seller, the fund must be prepared to pay par for and take possession of debt of a defaulted issuer delivered to the fund by the credit default protection buyer. Any loss would be offset by the premium payments the fund receives as the seller of credit default protection.

If the creditworthiness of the fund's swap counterparty declines, the risk that the counterparty may not perform could increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. To limit the counterparty risk involved in swap agreements, the fund will only enter into swap agreements with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or another creditworthy party. The fund may have limited ability to eliminate its exposure under a credit default swap if the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has declined.

Swap agreements generally are entered into by "eligible participants" and in compliance with certain other criteria necessary to render them excluded from regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and, therefore not subject to regulation as futures or commodity option transactions under the CEA.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, various factors may be considered, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic. Indexed securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments that depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon rates or principal payments may change by several percentage points for every 1% interest rate change.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates; however, municipal funds currently intend to participate in this program only as borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Interfund borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.

Inverse Floaters have variable interest rates that typically move in the opposite direction from movements in prevailing short-term interest rate levels - rising when prevailing short-term interest rates fall, and falling when short-term interest rates rise. The prices of inverse floaters can be considerably more volatile than the prices of other investments with comparable maturities and/or credit quality.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by a credit rating agency registered as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) with the SEC (for example, Moody's® Investors Service, Inc.), or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Municipal Insurance. A municipal bond may be covered by insurance that guarantees the bond's scheduled payment of interest and repayment of principal. This type of insurance may be obtained by either (i) the issuer at the time the bond is issued (primary market insurance), or (ii) another party after the bond has been issued (secondary market insurance).

Both primary and secondary market insurance guarantee timely and scheduled repayment of all principal and payment of all interest on a municipal bond in the event of default by the issuer, and cover a municipal bond to its maturity, typically enhancing its credit quality and value.

Municipal bond insurance does not insure against market fluctuations or fluctuations in a fund's share price. In addition, a municipal bond insurance policy will not cover: (i) repayment of a municipal bond before maturity (redemption), (ii) prepayment or payment of an acceleration premium (except for a mandatory sinking fund redemption) or any other provision of a bond indenture that advances the maturity of the bond, or (iii) nonpayment of principal or interest caused by negligence or bankruptcy of the paying agent. A mandatory sinking fund redemption may be a provision of a municipal bond issue whereby part of the municipal bond issue may be retired before maturity.

Because a significant portion of the municipal securities issued and outstanding is insured by a small number of insurance companies, not all of which have the highest credit rating, an event involving one or more of these insurance companies could have a significant adverse effect on the value of the securities insured by that insurance company and on the municipal markets as a whole. Ratings of insured bonds reflect the credit rating of the insurer, based on the rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of the insurer and its ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the time of the assessment. While the obligation of a municipal bond insurance company to pay a claim extends over the life of an insured bond, there is no assurance that municipal bond insurers will meet their claims. A higher-than-anticipated default rate on municipal bonds or in connection with other insurance the insurer provides could strain the insurer's loss reserves and adversely affect its ability to pay claims to bondholders.

FMR may decide to retain an insured municipal bond that is in default, or, in FMR's view, in significant risk of default. While a fund holds a defaulted, insured municipal bond, the fund collects interest payments from the insurer and retains the right to collect principal from the insurer when the municipal bond matures, or in connection with a mandatory sinking fund redemption.

Municipal Leases and participation interests therein may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally, a fund will not hold these obligations directly as a lessor of the property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest gives the purchaser a specified, undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the issue.

Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations. If a municipality stops making payments or transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable.

Municipal Market Disruption Risk. The value of municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced before the California legislature that would affect the state tax treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a municipal fund's holdings would be affected, and the Trustees would reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund.

Education. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds: those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans. Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal funding. Among the factors that may lead to declining or insufficient revenues are restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and federal funding, and general economic conditions. Student loan revenue bonds are generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or commissions and are backed by pools of student loans. Underlying student loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and may be subject to reimbursement by the United States Department of Education through its guaranteed student loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans made to parents or students which are supported by reserves or other forms of credit enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student repayment deferral periods of forbearance. Other risks associated with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes in federal legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency reimbursement and continued federal interest and other program subsidies currently in effect.

Electric Utilities. The electric utilities industry has been experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability and cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand, (d) the effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and licensing requirements, and other federal, state, and local regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and (f) opposition to nuclear power.

Health Care. The health care industry is subject to regulatory action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal, state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations: adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program; other state or local health care reform measures; medical and technological advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the way in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage which alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of health insurance and health care services.

Housing. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state, county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased with the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to predict the supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the proceeds of an issue or the future cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Consequently, there are risks that proceeds will exceed supply, resulting in early retirement of bonds, or that homeowner repayments will create an irregular cash flow. Many factors may affect the financing of multi-family housing projects, including acceptable completion of construction, proper management, occupancy and rent levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws and regulations.

Transportation. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of the airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who uses the airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader economic trends and is also affected by the price and availability of fuel. Toll road bonds are also affected by the cost and availability of fuel as well as toll levels, the presence of competing roads and the general economic health of an area. Fuel costs and availability also affect other transportation-related securities, as do the presence of alternate forms of transportation, such as public transportation.

Water and Sewer. Water and sewer revenue bonds are often considered to have relatively secure credit as a result of their issuer's importance, monopoly status, and generally unimpeded ability to raise rates. Despite this, lack of water supply due to insufficient rain, run-off, or snow pack is a concern that has led to past defaults. Further, public resistance to rate increases, costly environmental litigation, and Federal environmental mandates are challenges faced by issuers of water and sewer bonds.

Put Features entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Demand features and standby commitments are types of put features.

Refunding Contracts. Securities may be purchased on a when-issued basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and a purchaser to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future. A purchaser generally will not be obligated to pay the full purchase price if the issuer fails to perform under a refunding contract. Instead, refunding contracts generally provide for payment of liquidated damages to the issuer. A purchaser may secure its obligations under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a letter of credit equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the refunding contract.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their NAV. Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies may be limited by federal securities laws.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, swaps, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the issuer or the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase or hold a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, factors considered may include whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the issuer and/or entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

Standby Commitments are puts that entitle holders to same-day settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise. A fund may acquire standby commitments to enhance the liquidity of portfolio securities.

Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third party, although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a third party at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments separate from or in conjunction with the purchase of securities subject to such commitments. In the latter case, the fund would pay a higher price for the securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to maturity.

Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or other guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand. FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining whether to purchase an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate public information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's ability to honor its credit commitment.

Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the ability of issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the time the commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments are not generally marketable; and the possibility that the maturities of the underlying securities may be different from those of the commitments.

Structured Notes are derivative debt securities, the interest rate or principal of which is determined by an unrelated indicator. A structured note may be positively, negatively or both positively and negatively indexed; that is, its value or interest rate may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument increases. Similarly, its value may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument decreases. Further, the change in the principal amount payable with respect to, or the interest rate of, a structured note may be a multiple of the percentage change (positive or negative) in the value of the underlying reference instrument(s). Structured or indexed securities may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities.

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash, or to invest more than normally permitted in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.

Tender Option Bonds are created by depositing intermediate- or long-term, fixed-rate or variable rate, municipal bonds into a trust and issuing two classes of trust interests (or "certificates") with varying economic interests to investors. Holders of the first class of trust interests, or floating rate certificates, receive tax-exempt interest based on short-term rates and may tender the certificate to the trust at par. As consideration for providing the tender option, the trust sponsor (typically a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees. The trust pays the holders of the floating rate certificates from proceeds of a remarketing of the certificates or from a draw on a liquidity facility provided by the sponsor. A fund investing in a floating rate certificate effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. The floating rate certificate is typically an eligible security for money market funds. Holders of the second class of interests, sometimes called the residual income certificates, are entitled to any tax-exempt interest received by the trust that is not payable to floating rate certificate holders, and bear the risk that the underlying municipal bonds decline in value. In selecting tender option bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond deposited in the trust, the experience of the custodian, and the quality of the sponsor providing the tender option. In certain instances, the tender option may be terminated if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.

Transfer Agent Bank Accounts. Proceeds from shareholder purchases of a fund pass through a series of demand deposit bank accounts before being held at the fund's custodian. Redemption proceeds will pass from the custodian to the shareholder through a similar series of bank accounts.

The bank accounts are registered to the transfer agent or an affiliate, who acts as an agent for the fund when opening, closing and conducting business in the bank accounts. The transfer agent or an affiliate may invest overnight balances in the accounts in repurchase agreements. Any balances that are not invested in repurchase agreements remain in the bank accounts overnight. Any risks associated with these accounts are investment risks of the fund. The fund faces the risk of loss of these balances if the bank becomes insolvent.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate or the issuer's credit quality. Some variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.

In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender options or demand features that permit the holder to tender (or put) the bonds to an institution at periodic intervals and to receive the principal amount thereof. Variable rate instruments structured in this fashion are considered to be essentially equivalent to other variable rate securities. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on these instruments is tax-exempt. Fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third party puts and participation interests in such bonds held by a bank in trust or otherwise may have similar features.

When-Issued and Forward Purchase or Sale Transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding, the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in capital gains or losses for the fund.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

<R>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CALIFORNIA</R>

<R>The following section provides only a summary of (and does not purport to explain, predict, or fully describe) the complex factors, including both economic and political conditions, affecting the financial situation in the State of California (as used in this section, the "State") and is based on information in publicly available documents. This information has not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change rapidly, substantially, and without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the State or its issuers since the date of its preparation. Any such change(s) may adversely affect the State's and applicable issuer's cash flows, expenditures, or revenues, or otherwise negatively impact the current or projected State financial situation, which in turn could hamper fund performance.</R>

<R>Further, the marketability, valuation or liquidity of State municipal securities may be negatively affected in the event that State localities or authorities default on their debt obligations or other market events arise, which in turn may negatively affect fund performance, sometimes substantially. Economic and other conditions within the State may affect the credit risk of those localities or authorities to the extent that such localities and authorities are reliant upon State appropriations. In addition, the difficulties encountered by bond insurers in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis and other credit and overall market events may continue to impact municipal securities negatively, and the full effects of these events remain uncertain.</R>

<R>Overview of State Economy</R>

<R>California's economy, the largest among the 50 states, has major components in high technology, trade, entertainment, agriculture, manufacturing, government, tourism, construction, and services. The relative proportion of the various components of the California economy closely resembles the make-up of the national economy, and as a result events which negatively affect such industries may have a similar impact on the State and national economies.</R>

<R>In the Governor's proposed budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year, released on January 8, 2010 (2010-11 Governor's Budget), the California Department of Finance (Department of Finance) projected that the State's economy started to recover from the recession in the latter part of calendar year 2009, but that the State would suffer continued job losses in calendar year 2010. As of December 2009, the State's unemployment rate was 12.4%, compared to 10% for the nation as a whole for the same period.</R>

<R>Current Economic Conditions</R>

<R>Since the start of calendar year 2008, the State has experienced the most significant economic downturn and financial pressure since the Great Depression of the 1930s. As a result of continuing weakness in the State economy, State tax revenues have declined precipitously, resulting in large budget gaps and cash shortfalls. The California Legislature and the California Governor adopted three major budget plans, covering both the 2008-09 and 2009-10 fiscal years, in less than 11 months, utilizing approximately $60 billion in budget solutions, in response to continuing deterioration in the State's fiscal condition. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget estimated a new budget gap of $19.9 billion, of which $6.6 billion is estimated to be attributable to the 2009-10 fiscal year. The major reasons for the new budget gap included continued deterioration of revenues, certain federal and state court decisions, and failure to achieve all the budget solutions and savings expected from previously-enacted budgets. The Governor proposed a large number of steps to close this gap, consisting principally of expenditure reductions, seeking additional aid from the Federal government, various shifts in funding responsibilities and new revenue sources. The Governor declared a fiscal emergency and called a special session of the Legislature beginning January 8, 2010, to address budget solutions. The special session is described in more detail below under "March 2010 Special Session."</R>

<R>The sharp drop in revenues in fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10 also resulted in a significant depletion of cash resources to pay the State's obligations. For a period of one month beginning in February 2009, the State deferred making certain payments from the State's General Fund (General Fund) in order to conserve cash resources for high priority obligations, such as education and debt service. As new budget gaps were identified, the State's cash resources became so depleted that, commencing July 2, 2009, the State Controller (Controller) began to issue registered warrants (IOUs) for certain lower priority obligations in lieu of checks which could be immediately cashed. In late August 2009, the state called all $2.6 billion of its outstanding IOUs for redemption on September 4, 2009. This was only the second issuance of IOUs by the State since the 1930s.</R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget and the Controller projected continuing cash pressures during fiscal year 2010-11. Legislation enacted during the fiscal emergency special session in early March 2010 may provide the State with authority to defer certain payments to help the State avoid cash flow difficulties during the 2010-11 fiscal year. However, absent further corrective action by the Legislature and timely adoption of a fiscal year 2010-11 budget, a cash flow shortage in fiscal year 2010-11 may require the issuance of IOUs. </R>

<R>There can be no assurances that the fiscal stress and cash pressures currently facing the state will not continue or become more difficult, or that continuing declines in State tax receipts or other impacts of the current economic situation will not further materially adversely affect the financial condition of the State. The Department of Finance projects that multi-billion dollar budget gaps will occur annually though at least fiscal year 2013-14 without further corrective action. </R>

<R>In addition, the pension funds managed by the State's principal retirement systems, the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the California State Teachers' Retirement System, have sustained significant investment losses during the economic downturn and face unfunded actuarial liabilities which will require increased contributions from the General Fund in future years. The State also has an unfunded liability relating to retirees' post-employment healthcare benefits which is estimated to be $51.8 billion as of June 30, 2009. </R>

<R>The expenditure reductions and extraordinary pressures on the State budget in recent years have resulted in continuing fiscal pressures on local governments throughout the State. Several years of budget borrowing from transportation funds have left many State and local transportation construction projects without adequate funds. The current economic slowdown and projected reductions in State aid have left many local governments with substantial budget deficits, resulting in reductions in payroll and services. </R>

<R>There is no assurance that any California issuer will make full or timely payments of principal or interest or remain solvent. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by local California issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State, and there is no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.</R>

<R>The economic forecasts of the Department of Finance, the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO), and the Controller are prepared using national economic activity forecasts; major national and California economic indicators; revenue estimates; legislative, judicial and administrative changes; and recent cash results.</R>

<R>General Risks</R>

<R>Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the State's economy and finances. Such factors may affect the State's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the performance of the national and State economies; (ii) the receipt of revenues below projections; (iii) a delay in or an inability of the State to implement budget solutions as a result of current or future litigation; (iv) an inability to implement all planned expenditure reductions; and (v) actions taken by the Federal government, including audits, disallowances, and changes in aid levels. </R>

<R>These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the State's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the State budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the State's and municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.</R>

<R>Recent Events in the Municipal Bond Market</R>

<R>A significant number of auction rate municipal bonds have failed to attract buyers, resulting in "failed auctions" and a resetting of the periodic rates to rates in excess of those which would otherwise prevail in the short-term market. The failed auctions have affected municipal issuers throughout the United States and its territories and reflect concerns relating to bond insurers that have insured those bonds as well as changes in the operation of the auction rate itself. As a result of these failed auctions, governmental issuers are experiencing significantly higher debt service costs on auction rate bonds and bondholders are experiencing less liquidity than had been anticipated. The duration of the disruption in the auction rate securities market cannot be predicted at this time. In addition, the value of municipal securities may be difficult to measure in the current or a future market environment, as current valuation, significantly affected by external forces, may not reflect the intrinsic, underlying value of State municipal securities. Should the State or municipalities fail to sell bonds when and at the rates projected, the State could experience significantly increased costs in the General Fund and a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year. </R>

<R>Constitutional Limitations on Taxes, Other Charges and Appropriations</R>

<R>Limitation on Property Taxes. Certain California debt obligations may be obligations of issuers which rely in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on ad valorem property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing powers of California local governments and districts are limited by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly known as "Proposition 13." Briefly, Article XIIIA limits the rate of ad valorem property taxes to 1% of full cash value of real property and generally restricts the reassessment of property to 2% per year, except upon new construction or change of ownership (subject to a number of exemptions). Taxing entities may, however, raise ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit to pay debt service on voter-approved bonded indebtedness.</R>

<R>Under Article XIIIA, the basic 1% ad valorem tax levy is applied against the assessed value of property as of the owner's date of acquisition (or as of March 1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments. This system has resulted in widely varying amounts of tax on similarly situated properties. Several lawsuits were filed challenging the acquisition-based assessment system of Proposition 13, but it was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 1992.</R>

<R>Article XIIIA prohibits local governments from raising revenues through ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit; it also requires voters of any governmental unit to give two-thirds approval to levy any "special tax" (a tax devoted to a specific purpose). </R>

<R>Limitations on Other Taxes, Fees and Charges. On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, called the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local agencies to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.</R>

<R>Article XIIIC requires that all new or increased local taxes be submitted to the voters before they become effective. Taxes for general governmental purposes require a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes require a two-thirds vote.</R>

<R>Article XIIID contains several provisions which make it generally more difficult for local agencies to levy and maintain "assessments" for municipal services and programs. Article XIIID also contains several provisions affecting "fees" and "charges", defined for purposes of Article XIIID to mean "any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed by a local government upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user fee or charge for a property related service." All new and existing property related fees and charges must conform to requirements prohibiting, among other things, fees and charges which generate revenues exceeding the funds required to provide the property related service or are used for unrelated purposes. Article XIIID contains notice, hearing and protest procedures for levying or increasing property related fees and charges, and, except for fees or charges for sewer, water and refuse collection services (or fees for electrical and gas service, which are not treated as "property related" for purposes of Article XIIID), no property related fee or charge may be imposed or increased without majority approval by the property owners subject to the fee or charge or, at the option of the local agency, two-thirds voter approval by the electorate residing in the affected area.</R>

<R>In addition to the provisions described above, Article XIIIC removes limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Consequently, local voters could, by future initiative, repeal, reduce or prohibit the future imposition or increase of any local tax, assessment, fee or charge. It is unclear how this right of local initiative may be used in cases where taxes or charges have been or will be specifically pledged to secure debt issues.</R>

<R>The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of matters, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such cases.</R>

<R>Appropriations Limits. The State and its local governments are subject to an annual "appropriations limit" imposed by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1979 and significantly amended by Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Article XIIIB prohibits the State or any covered local government from spending "appropriations subject to limitation" in excess of the appropriations limit imposed. "Appropriations subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which consist of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees, to the extent that such proceeds exceed the cost of providing the product or service, but "proceeds of taxes" exclude most State subventions to local governments. No limit is imposed on appropriations of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds.</R>

<R>Among the expenditures not included in the Article XIIIB appropriations limit are: (i) the debt service cost of bonds issued or authorized prior to January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, (ii) appropriations to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government, (iii) appropriations for certain capital outlay projects, (iv) appropriations by the State of post-1989 increases in gasoline taxes and vehicle weight fees, and (v) appropriations made in certain cases of emergency.</R>

<R>The appropriations limit for each year is adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population, and any transfers of service responsibilities between government units. The definitions for such adjustments were liberalized in 1990 to follow more closely growth in the State's economy.</R>

<R>"Excess" revenues are measured over a two year cycle. Local governments must return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. The State must refund 50% of any excess, with the other 50% paid to schools and community colleges. Local governments may by voter approval exceed their spending limits for up to four years.</R>

<R>According to the Department of Finance, the State was approximately $16.9 billion and $31.6 billion below the appropriations limit in fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively. The Department of Finance estimates that the State will be approximately $23.1 billion and $20.8 billion below its appropriations limit in fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11, respectively.</R>

<R>Because of the complex nature of Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution, the ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in their terms, and the impossibility of predicting future appropriations or changes in population and cost of living, and the probability of continuing legal challenges, it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of these Articles on California debt obligations or on the ability of the State or local governments to pay debt service on such California debt obligations. It is not possible, at the present time, to predict the outcome of any pending litigation with respect to the ultimate scope, impact or constitutionality of these Articles or the impact of any such determinations upon State agencies or local governments, or upon their ability to pay debt service on their obligations. Further initiatives or legislative changes in laws or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of the State or local issuers to repay their obligations.</R>

<R>Obligations of the State</R>

<R>The State Treasurer (Treasurer) is responsible for the sale of most debt obligations of the State and its various authorities.</R>

<R>General Obligation Bonds. General obligation bonds are typically authorized for infrastructure and other capital improvements at the State and local level. Under the California Constitution, debt service on outstanding general obligation bonds is the second charge to the General Fund after support of the public school system and public institutions of higher education.</R>

<R>As of February 1, 2010, the State had outstanding approximately $72.9 billion aggregate principal amount of long-term general obligation bonds, of which approximately $63.4 billion were payable primarily from the General Fund, and approximately $9.5 billion were self-liquidating bonds payable first from other special revenue funds. As of February 1, 2010, there were unused voter authorizations for the future issuance of approximately $48.8 billion of long-term general obligation bonds, some of which may be first issued as commercial paper notes. Of this unissued amount, approximately $1.3 billion is for general obligation bonds payable first from other revenue sources. </R>

<R>General Fund Debt Ratio. Between November 2006 and August 2009, voters and the legislature authorized more than $60 billion of new general obligation bonds and lease revenue bonds, which are paid solely from the General Fund. This new authorization substantially increased the current amount of such General Fund-supported debt outstanding to more than $72 billion, while still leaving authorized and unissued approximately $58 billion of such bonds as of February 1, 2010. In order to address the expenditure needs for these new authorizations, along with those which existed prior to 2006, the State increased the volume of issuance of both of these categories of bonds substantially, compared to previous years, starting in fiscal year 2007-08.</R>

<R>Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertainties about the State's budget condition caused significant disruptions in the State's bond issuance program during fiscal year 2008-09. Because of these factors, the State did not issue any new general obligation bonds between July 2008 and March 2009. In March 2009, the State issued $6.54 billion of new tax-exempt bonds, the largest new money general obligation bond issue in the State's history (excluding Economic Recovery Bonds (ERBs)). A few weeks later, the State issued $6.86 billion of federally taxable general obligation bonds in reliance on new federal rules. A significant part of the revenue raised from these offerings was used to retire internal borrowings that had been used to fund construction projects. An additional $6.546 billion of tax exempt and taxable general obligation bonds were issued in the fall of 2009, together with $1.549 billion of lease revenue bonds.</R>

<R>Although a record of approximately $20 billion of general obligation bonds was offered during calendar year 2009, the scale of issuances is projected to be much lower in calendar year 2010. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget projects issuance of approximately $13.2 billion of general obligation and lease revenue bonds in fiscal year 2010-11. </R>

<R>In light of the drop in General Fund revenues since fiscal year 2007-08, and the projections of new bond sales in the future, the ratio of debt service on general obligation, lease revenue, and Proposition 1A bonds supported by the General Fund to annual General Fund revenues and transfers (General Fund Debt Ratio) is expected to increase in future years. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget estimates that in fiscal year 2009-10, the General Fund Debt Ratio is estimated to equal approximately 6.91%. Through fiscal year 2013-14, the State's General Fund Debt Ratio is projected to peak at 10.47% in fiscal year 2012-2013, the year that the Proposition 1A bonds mature. </R>

<R>The deterioration of the State's fiscal situation increases the risk of investing in California municipal securities, including the risk of potential issuer default, and also heightens the risk that the prices of California municipal securities held by a fund will experience greater volatility.</R>

<R>Non-Recourse Obligations</R>

<R>Certain State agencies and authorities issue obligations secured or payable from specified revenue streams, including transportation projects, various public works projects, and public and private educational facilities. These obligations are not payable from the General Fund and carry different ratings than the State's general obligation bonds. State agencies and authorities had approximately $56 billion aggregate principal amount of revenue bonds and notes which are non-recourse to the General Fund outstanding as of December 31, 2009. None of these revenue bonds is backed by the State's faith and credit or taxing power.</R>

<R>Obligations of Other Issuers</R>

<R>Other Issuers of California Debt Obligations. There are a number of State agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions of the State that issue municipal obligations, some of which may be conduit revenue obligations payable from payments from private borrowers. These entities are subject to various economic risks and uncertainties, and the credit quality of the securities issued by them may vary considerably from the credit quality of obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.</R>

<R>State Assistance. Property tax revenues received by local governments declined more than 50% following passage of Proposition 13. Subsequently, the Legislature enacted measures to provide for the redistribution of the General Fund's surplus to local agencies, the reallocation of certain State revenues to local agencies and the assumption of certain governmental functions by the State to assist municipal issuers to raise revenues. Total local assistance from the General Fund has been budgeted at approximately 75% of General Fund expenditures in recent years, including the effect of implementing reductions in certain aid programs. To reduce State General Fund support for school districts, the 1992-93 and 1993-94 Budget Acts caused local governments to transfer $3.9 billion of property tax revenues to school districts, representing loss of the post-Proposition 13 "bailout" aid. Local governments have in return received greater revenues and greater flexibility to operate health and welfare programs.</R>

<R>The enactment of Proposition 1A in November 2004 substantially changed the ability of the State to use local government taxing sources to aid the State budget. See "State-Local Fiscal Relations" below. </R>

<R>In 1997, a new program provided for the State to substantially take over funding for local trial courts (saving cities and counties some $400 million annually). In recent years, the State has provided over $350 million to support local law enforcement costs.</R>

<R>To the extent the State should be constrained by its Article XIIIB appropriations limit, or its obligation to conform to Proposition 98, or other fiscal considerations, the absolute level, or the rate of growth, of State assistance to local governments may continue to be reduced. Any such reductions in State aid could compound the serious fiscal constraints already experienced by many local governments, particularly counties. The recent economic slowdown in the State, with its corresponding reduction in State and local revenues, will put additional pressure on local government finances in the coming years.</R>

<R>Counties and cities may face further budgetary pressures as a result of changes in welfare and public assistance programs, which were enacted in August, 1997 in order to comply with the federal welfare reform law. Generally, counties play a large role in the new system, and are given substantial flexibility to develop and administer programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce. Counties are also given financial incentives if either at the county or Statewide level, the "Welfare-to-Work" programs exceed minimum targets; counties are also subject to financial penalties for failure to meet such targets. Counties remain responsible to provide "general assistance" for able-bodied indigents who are ineligible for other welfare programs.</R>

<R>Local governments are facing substantial increases in future pension liabilities and health care costs for retirees, and increases in current contribution rates, as a result of (a) generous new retirements benefits granted to employees during recent economic boom times, and (b) reduced earnings resulting from stock market declines.</R>

<R>Assessment Bonds. California assessment bonds may be adversely affected by a general decline in real estate values or a slowdown in real estate sales activity. In many cases, such bonds are secured by land which is undeveloped at the time of issuance but anticipated to be developed within a few years after issuance. In the event of such reduction or slowdown, such development may not occur or may be delayed, thereby increasing the risk of a default on the bonds. Because the special assessments or taxes securing these bonds are not the personal liability of the owners of the property assessed, the lien on the property is the only security for the bonds. Moreover, in most cases the issuer of these bonds is not required to make payments on the bonds in the event of delinquency in the payment of assessments or taxes, except from amounts, if any, in a reserve fund established for the bonds.</R>

<R>California Long-Term Lease Obligations. Based on a series of court decisions, certain long-term lease obligations, though typically payable from the general fund of the State or a municipality, are not considered "indebtedness" requiring voter approval. Such leases, however, are subject to "abatement" in the event the facility being leased is unavailable for beneficial use and occupancy by the municipality during the term of the lease. Abatement is not a default, and there may be no remedies available to the holders of the certificates evidencing the lease obligation in the event abatement occurs. The most common cases of abatement are failure to complete construction of the facility before the end of the period during which lease payments have been capitalized and uninsured casualty losses to the facility (e.g., due to earthquake). In the event abatement occurs with respect to a lease obligation, lease payments may be interrupted (if all available insurance proceeds and reserves are exhausted) and the certificates may not be paid when due. Although litigation is brought from time to time which challenges the constitutionality of such lease arrangements, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling in August, 1998 which reconfirmed the legality of these financing methods.</R>

<R>2009-10 Budget</R>

<R>Background. The State's budget for fiscal year 2009-10 was enacted in an unusual sequence. The Budget Act for the 2008-09 fiscal year (2008 Budget Act) was one of the latest ever enacted, having been delayed until mid-September 2008 as the result of the difficulty balancing the budget with reduced revenues, as declining economic conditions were already evident. The 2008 Budget Act, however, was based on revenue assumptions made in the spring of 2008, which proved to be overstated by the time the actual revenue results for September 2008 and October 2008 were received. With the financial market deterioration in September 2008, which resulted in massive federal assistance and caused large drops in stock market and other asset values and reductions in consumer spending, projections of tax revenues, which are heavily dependent on capital gains taxes and sales taxes, had to be dramatically reduced. In November 2008, the Governor announced that the 2008-09 fiscal year budget would be billions of dollars out of balance, and called several special sessions of the Legislature to enact corrective actions.</R>

<R>A compromise was not reached until February 2009. At that time, the February 2009 Budget Package was enacted, which included modifications to the 2008 Budget Act and the enactment, more than four months early, of a full budget act for fiscal year 2009-10. </R>

<R>Initial 2009 Budget Act. The Initial 2009 Budget Act was adopted by the Legislature on February 19, 2009, along with a number of implementing measures, and signed by the Governor on February 20, 2009. The Initial 2009 Budget Act enacted $36 billion in solutions to what was then estimated to be a $42 billion General Fund budget gap. It also provided for five budget-related measures that would have provided an estimated $6 billion in additional budget solutions. However, these measures were all rejected by voters at a May 19, 2009 special election.</R>

<R>After adoption of the Initial 2009 Budget Act, the State continued to experience significant declines in revenues and other financial pressures. On May 14, 2009, the Governor released a revision to the Initial 2009 Budget Act. Together with subsequent revisions, the 2009-10 May Revision identified further budget shortfalls through the 2009-10 fiscal year of approximately $24 billion.</R>

<R>Amended 2009 Budget Act. On July 24, 2009, the Legislature approved amendments to the Initial 2009 Budget Act and the Governor signed the Amended 2009 Budget Act on July 28, 2009. The Amended 2009 Budget Act included another $24 billion in solutions designed to address the further deterioration of the State's fiscal situation identified in the 2009-10 May Revision.</R>

<R>Under the Amended 2009 Budget Act, General Fund revenues and transfers were projected to increase 6.4%, from a revised $84.1 billion in fiscal year 2008-09 to $89.5 billion in fiscal year 2009-10. A significant element of this increase was projected to come from certain new revenue sources implemented in February 2008. The Amended 2009 Budget Act contained General Fund appropriations of $84.6 billion in fiscal year 2009-10, compared to $91.5 billion in fiscal year 2008-09, a 7.5% decrease. The June 30, 2010 total reserve was projected to be $500 million as compared to the revised June 30, 2009 reserve of negative $4.5 billion.</R>

<R>2010-11 Proposed Governor's Budget</R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget, released on January 8, 2010, revises various revenue and expenditure estimates for fiscal year 2009-10 and proposes to solve the estimated $19.9 billion budget gap by the end of fiscal year 2010-11 with a combination of spending reductions, alternative funding, fund shifts, and additional federal funds.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2009-10 Revised Estimates in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget revised various revenue and expenditures estimates for fiscal year 2009-10. It projects that the State will end fiscal year 2009-10 with a negative reserve of $5.4 billion, compared to the estimate of $500 million reserve at the time of the Amended 2009 Budget Act.</R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget reflects a net decrease of $2.476 billion in revenues available from prior years at the start of fiscal year 2009-10. As of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, General Fund revenues and transfers for fiscal year 2009-10 are projected to be $88.1 billion, a decrease of $1.457 billion compared with Amended 2009 Budget Act estimates. Also under the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2009-10 are projected at $86.1 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion compared with the Amended Budget Act estimates. This increase in expenditures (which is net of a decrease in Proposition 98 expenditures) is primarily attributable to increases in health and human service expenditures of $266.8 million; increases in prison expenditures of $906.6 million; and elimination of General Fund reimbursement of $81.6 million for transportation-related costs as a result of an adverse court decision which invalidated the use of Proposition 42 moneys for that purpose.</R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget projects to end fiscal year 2010-11 with a $1.0 billion reserve. General Fund revenues and transfers for fiscal year 2010-11 are projected at $89.3 billion, and General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2010-11 are projected at $82.9 billion. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget proposes a combined total of $19.9 billion of budget solutions for fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The solutions consist of $8.5 billion in expenditure restrictions (approximately 42.7% of the total solutions), $6.9 billion in federal funds solutions (approximately 34.7% of the total solutions), $3.9 billion in alternative funding solutions (approximately 19.6% of the total solutions), and $572 million in fund shifts and other revenues (approximately 2.8% of the total solutions).</R>

<R>Expenditure restrictions include $1.07 billion of reductions relating to Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program); $1.0 billion in reductions relating to in-home supportive services; $1.63 billion in salary reductions; $2.43 billion reduction in Proposition 98 funding and $1.1 billion in reductions relating to prison and corrections expenditures. Alternative funding sources include $986 million relating to a gas tax shift; the use of $550 million in Proposition 10 moneys to offset General Fund expenditures for children's programs; and the use of $452 million of Proposition 63 moneys to offset General Fund expenditures for mental health programs. The use of Proposition 10 and Proposition 63 moneys described above require voter approval at the June 2010 primary election or November 2010 general election. </R>

<R>LAO Report</R>

<R>On January 12, 2010, the LAO released its analysis of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget (LAO Report). In reaching its conclusions, the LAO performs an independent assessment of the outlook for California's economy, demographics, revenues, and expenditures. The LAO Report states that the reasons for the State's current budget gap are similar to prior budget shortfalls: the inability of the State to achieve proposed budget solutions; the effects of adverse court decisions, and, for fiscal year 2010-11, the expiration of various one-time and temporary budget solutions approved in 2009.</R>

<R>The LAO Report expresses caution regarding the 2010-11 Governor's Budget due to certain risks, including the improbability of the United States Legislature agreeing to all of the Governor's requests for federal funds, and states that the California Legislature needs to operate on the assumption that federal government relief will total billions of dollars less than what the 2010-11 Governor's Budget assumes.</R>

<R>March 2010 Special Session</R>

<R>On January 8, 2010, concurrently with the submission of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, the Governor declared a fiscal emergency and called the Legislature into a fiscal emergency special session. The nature of the fiscal emergency was the projected budget imbalance for fiscal year 2009-10 and the projected insufficient cash reserves and budgetary and cash deficits in fiscal year 2010-11. The purpose of the special session was for the Legislature to consider and act upon legislation included in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget that would close $8.9 billion of the budget gap. Delays in the adoption of the gap-closing proposals contained in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget until the enactment of the fiscal year 2010-11 budget would result in the loss of a portion of the proposed budgetary solutions and thereby necessitate more cuts in fiscal year 2010-11.</R>

<R>As of March 5, 2010, the Legislature had passed legislation intended to reduce the budget gap by about $3.2 billion. About $2.1 billion of the savings was intended to be obtained through expenditure reductions accomplished through appropriations targeted in fiscal year 2010-11. These intended reductions principally involved prison healthcare costs and employee compensation savings. On March 8, 2010, the Governor vetoed this $2.1 billion in savings. The remaining $1.1 billion of proposed solutions may be achieved through legislation intended to reduce the sales tax on gasoline and replace it with a higher excise tax, a portion of which would be applied to offset General Fund costs for certain transportation expenses. As of March 12, 2010, this legislation is still under consideration by the Governor, who has not indicated whether he will sign the bill. The special session ended on March 11, 2010. </R>

<R>As required by State law, the Governor will update the 2010-11 Governor's Budget by May 14, 2010. This updated budget (May Revision) will be the basis for the final negotiations between the governor and the Legislature to reach agreement on the fiscal year 2010-11 budget.</R>

<R>Balanced Budget Amendment</R>

<R>On March 2, 2004, voters approved Proposition 58, a constitutional amendment called the "Balanced Budget Amendment," which affects future State budgeting procedures. This amendment was linked to Proposition 57, also approved by the voters, which authorized issuance of $15 billion of long-term general obligation bonds, additionally secured by a 1/4 cent increment of the State's sales tax, which can be used to eliminate the accumulated budget deficits through June 30, 2004 and certain additional obligations incurred by the State.</R>

<R>The Balanced Budget Amendment requires the Legislature to enact a budget bill in which General Fund expenditures do not exceed estimated General Fund revenues and available reserves. After passage of the budget act, if the Governor determines that the State is facing substantial revenue shortfalls or spending deficiencies, the Governor may declare a fiscal emergency and propose legislation to address the emergency. The Legislature would be called in to special session to address this proposal. If the Legislature fails to send legislation to the Governor to address the fiscal emergency within 45 days, it will be prohibited from acting on any other bills or adjourning until fiscal legislation is passed. The Governor declared several such fiscal emergencies in 2008 and called the Legislature into various special sessions to address the recent current budget shortfall.</R>

<R>The Amendment also created a "rainy day" reserve called the Budget Stabilization Account ("BSA") in the State General Fund. Beginning in the 2006-07 fiscal year, a portion of estimated annual General Fund revenues are transferred by the Controller into the BSA not later than September 30 of each year. The transfer begins at 1% of revenues, and increases annually to reach a level of 3%. The initial transfers of $944 million and $2.045 billion took place in September 2006 and September 2007. The transfers are expected to continue until the BSA reaches a balance of the greater of $8 billion or 5% of General Fund revenue. Moneys in the BSA may be used to make up for unexpected budget imbalances, but will then have to be replenished with future transfers until the target level is reached. The annual transfer can be suspended by the Governor by an executive order issued not later than June 1 of the preceding fiscal year. The Amendment requires that one half of the BSA deposits, up to an aggregate of $5 billion, shall be transferred to the State Treasurer to provide for early redemption of the economic recovery bonds approved by Proposition 57. A total of $1.495 billion was transferred to retire economic recovery bonds in fiscal year 2006-07 ($472 million) and 2007-08 ($1.023 billion). The Governor suspended both the fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10 BSA transfers due to the condition of the General Fund, and the 2010-11 Governor's Budget assumes another suspension for fiscal year 2010-11.</R>

<R>A final provision of the Amendment prohibits future long-term bond issuances for the purpose of funding budget deficits once the bonds authorized by Proposition 57 are issued. Short term borrowing for cash flow management will continue to be authorized.</R>

<R>State-Local Fiscal Relations</R>

<R>In November, 2004, voters approved Proposition 1A, which made significant changes to the fiscal relationship between the State and local governments. In return for a $2.6 billion contribution to State budgets in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 fiscal years, Proposition 1A prohibits the State from accessing local governments' property tax, sales tax and vehicle license fee revenues except under limited circumstances. Starting in the 2008-09 fiscal year the State can borrow up to 8% of local property tax revenues but only if the Governor declares a fiscal hardship and with 2/3 approval of each house of the Legislature. This amount must be repaid within three years, and such borrowing can only be made twice in any ten-year period. In addition, the State cannot reduce the local sales tax rate or restrict authority of local governments to impose or change the distribution of the statewide local sales tax. Proposition 1A also strengthens requirements for the State to reimburse local governments if it enacts certain kinds of laws which mandate increased local spending. Proposition 1A is intended to produce greater certainty for local governments, but will reduce the State's options for dealing with budget shortfalls in the future.</R>

<R>The Amended 2009 Budget Act authorized the State to exercise its Proposition 1A borrowing authority. This borrowing generated $1.998 billion that will be used to offset General Fund costs for a variety of court, health, corrections, and K-12 programs. The enabling legislation also created a securitization mechanism for local governments to sell their right to receive the State's payment obligations to local government-operated joint powers agency (JPA). This JPA sold bonds in an aggregate amount of $1.895 billion in November 2009 to pay the local agencies their property tax allocations when they otherwise would receive them. Pursuant to Proposition 1A, the State is required to repay the local government borrowing (which in turn will be used to prepay the bonds of the JPA) no later than June 30, 2013. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget includes $90.8 million for the interest payments that will be incurred in fiscal year 2010-11 to be paid from the General Fund.</R>

<R>Strategic Growth Plan</R>

<R>In January 2006, the Governor proposed a comprehensive Strategic Growth Plan, which was to be the first installment of a 20-year investment in the State's infrastructure in the following five areas: transportation and air quality, education, flood control and water supply, public safety, and court and other public service infrastructure. Specifically, the plan laid out more than $222 billion in infrastructure investments over the first ten years, of which $68 billion would be financed with general obligation bonds, and the remainder would come from a mixture of existing and new funding sources.</R>

<R>In May 2006, the Legislature adopted a package of bills providing part of the infrastructure financing plan requested by the Governor. The main components of this package included four proposed bond measures on the November, 2006 ballot, containing the following elements: (i) $19.9 billion for transportation, air quality, port security and related projects; (ii) $10.4 billion for K-12 school construction and rehabilitation and higher education facilities; (iii) $4.1 billion for levee repair, flood control and related projects, and (iv) $2.9 billion for various housing programs. In addition, there was a constitutional amendment on the ballot to limit future diversions of sales taxes on gasoline from transportation purposes (Proposition 42). All four of these measures were approved by the voters at the November 7, 2006 election, at which time the Governor was also re-elected to a second term in office.</R>

<R>In the November 2008 general election, California voters approved new general obligation bond measures authorizing $9.95 billion for a high-speed train service linking Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, $980 million for construction and renovation of children's hospitals and $900 million for mortgage loans to California veterans. The creation of a Strategic Growth Council will be proposed in the next statewide election following the November 2008 general election to coordinate activities and investment of funds in State-owned and State-funded infrastructure. Legislation enacted on November 4, 2009 authorizes submission to the voters at the statewide election on November 2, 2010 of a ballot measure to approve the issuance of $11.14 billion in general obligation bonds for a wide variety of purposes relating to the improvement of California's water supply systems, drought relief, and groundwater protection. Additional bond measures may be included on the November 2, 2010 election ballot, but there are no bond measures on the June 8, 2010 ballot.</R>

<R>Litigation</R>

<R>The State is a party to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the State is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the State's recent financial statements) that, if decided against the State, might require the State to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the State to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund's investments.</R>

<R>Municipal Downgrades and Bankruptcies</R>

<R>Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to being downgraded, defaulting, and filing for and entering into bankruptcy during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax collections as a result of lower home values, lower sales tax revenue as a result of consumers cutting back from spending, and lower income tax revenue as a result of a high unemployment rate. In addition, as certain municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to a fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of a fund's investments. Further, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. For example, Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code provides a financially distressed municipality protection from its creditors while it develops and negotiates a plan for reorganizing its debts. "Municipality" is defined broadly by the Bankruptcy Code as a "political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a state" and may include various issuers of securities in which the fund invests. The reorganization of a municipality's debts may be accomplished by extending debt maturities, reducing the amount of principal or interest, refinancing the debt or other measures which may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of a fund's investments. </R>

<R>In addition, many municipal issuers recently either have been unable to issue bonds or access the market to sell their issues or, if able to access the market, have issued bonds at much higher rates. Should the State or municipalities fail to sell bonds when and at the rates projected, the State could experience significantly increased costs in the General Fund and a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year.</R>

<R>Bond Ratings</R>

<R>As of March 22, 2010, the State's general obligation bonds were rated Baa1, A- and BBB by Moody's, Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P) and Fitch Inc. (Fitch), respectively, with each rating representing a downgrade since July 2009. In January, 2010, S&P lowered the State's general obligation bond offering rating to A- from A, indicating that the State's fiscal imbalance and impending recurrence of a cash deficiency as factors in its decision. In July 2009, Fitch lowered the State's general obligation bond rating from A- to BBB citing the State's continued inability to achieve timely agreement on budgetary and cash flow solutions to its severe financial crisis. In the same month, Moody's lowered the State's general obligation bond rating to Baa1 from A2, citing the State's use of IOUs for non-priority payments, the deadlock on the budget gap, and the risk to priority payments. </R>

<R>Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating agency and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if in the judgment of such rating agency circumstances so warrant. Lower credit ratings make it more expensive for the State to raise revenue, and in some cases, could prevent the State from issuing general obligation bonds in the quantity otherwise desired. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the marketability and market prices of the bonds held by a fund. </R>

<R>Other Considerations</R>

<R>The repayment of industrial development securities or single family mortgage revenue bonds secured by real property may be affected by California laws limiting foreclosure rights of creditors. Under California law, mortgage loans secured by single family homes can be prepaid at any time without penalty, except in the first five years of the loan, and subject to limits on the size of the penalty. Such prepayments may affect the ability of the issuer of single family mortgage bonds to repay the bonds. Securities backed by health care and hospital revenues may be affected by changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to health care providers under Medi-Cal (the State's Medicaid program), including risks related to the policy of awarding exclusive contracts to certain hospitals.</R>

<R>Limitations on ad valorem property taxes may particularly affect "tax allocation" bonds issued by California redevelopment agencies. Such bonds are secured solely by the increase in assessed valuation of a redevelopment project area after the start of redevelopment activity. In the event that assessed values in the redevelopment project decline (e.g., because of a major natural disaster such as an earthquake), the tax increment revenue may be insufficient to make principal and interest payments on these bonds. Both Moody's and S&P suspended ratings on California tax allocation bonds after the enactment of Articles XIIIA and XIIIB, and only resumed such ratings on a selective basis.</R>

<R>Proposition 87, approved by California voters in 1988, requires that all revenues produced by a tax rate increase go directly to the taxing entity which increased such tax rate to repay that entity's general obligation indebtedness. As a result, redevelopment agencies (which, typically, are the issuers of tax allocation securities) no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes on property in the project area are increased to repay voter-approved bonded indebtedness.</R>

<R>The effect of these various constitutional and statutory changes upon the ability of California municipal securities issuers to pay interest and principal on their obligations remains unclear. Furthermore, other measures affecting the taxing or spending authority of California or its political subdivisions may be approved or enacted in the future. Legislation has been or may be introduced which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures or which either would further limit or, alternatively, would increase the abilities of State and local governments to impose new taxes or increase existing taxes. It is not possible, at present, to predict the extent to which any such legislation will be enacted. Nor is it possible, at present, to determine the impact of any such legislation on securities held in a fund, future allocations of State revenues to local governments or the abilities of State or local governments to pay the interest on, or repay the principal of, such securities.</R>

<R>Substantially all of California is within an active geologic region subject to major seismic activity. Northern California in 1989 and Southern California in 1994 experienced major earthquakes causing billions of dollars in damages. The federal government provided more than $13 billion in aid for both earthquakes, and neither event has had any long-term negative economic impact. Any obligation in a fund could be affected by an interruption of revenues because of damaged facilities, or, consequently, income tax deductions for casualty losses or property tax assessment reductions due to earthquakes. Compensatory financial assistance could be constrained by the inability of (i) an issuer to have obtained earthquake insurance coverage rates; (ii) an insurer to perform on its contracts of insurance in the event of widespread losses; or (iii) the federal or State government to appropriate sufficient funds within their respective budget limitations.</R>

<R>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO</R>

<R>The following section provides only a summary of (and does not purport to explain, predict, or fully describe) the complex factors, including both economic and political conditions, affecting the financial situation in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (as used in this section, the "Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico") and is based on information in publicly available documents. This information has not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change rapidly, substantially, and without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Commonwealth or its issuers since the date of its preparation. Any such change(s) may adversely affect the Commonwealth's and applicable issuer's cash flows, expenditures, or revenues, or otherwise negatively impact the current or projected Commonwealth financial situation, which in turn could hamper fund performance.</R>

<R>Further, the marketability, valuation or liquidity of Commonwealth municipal securities may be negatively affected in the event that Commonwealth localities or authorities default on their debt obligations or other market events arise, which in turn may negatively affect fund performance, sometimes substantially. Economic and other conditions within the Commonwealth may affect the credit risk of those localities or authorities to the extent that such localities and authorities are reliant upon Commonwealth appropriations. In addition, the difficulties encountered by bond insurers in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis and other credit and overall market events may continue to impact municipal securities negatively, and the full effects of these events remain uncertain.</R>

<R>Relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States. Puerto Rico's constitutional status is that of a territory of the United States (U.S.), and, pursuant to the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ultimate source of power over Puerto Rico is the U.S. Congress. The Commonwealth exercises virtually the same control over its internal affairs as do each of the 50 U.S. states over their own affairs. The Commonwealth differs from the states, however, in its relationship with the U.S. federal government. The people of Puerto Rico are citizens of the U.S. but do not vote in U.S. national elections. They are represented in Congress by a Resident Commissioner that has a voice in the House of Representatives but no vote (except in House committees and sub-committees to which he belongs). Most U.S. federal taxes, except those such as Social Security taxes, are not levied in Puerto Rico. No U.S. federal income tax is collected from Puerto Rico residents on income earned in Puerto Rico, except for certain federal employees who are subject to taxes on their salaries. Income earned by Puerto Rico residents from sources outside of Puerto Rico, however, is subject to federal income tax.</R>

<R>The Economy of Puerto Rico. The economy of Puerto Rico is closely linked to the U.S. economy, as most of the external factors that affect the Puerto Rico economy (other than oil prices) are determined by the policies and performance of the U.S. economy. These external factors include exports, direct investment, the amount of federal transfer payments, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, and tourist expenditures.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth in the past has established policies and programs directed principally at developing the manufacturing sector and expanding and modernizing the Commonwealth's infrastructure. Domestic and foreign investments have historically been stimulated by selective tax exemptions, development loans, and other financial and tax incentives. Infrastructure expansion and modernization have been to a large extent financed by bonds and notes issued by the Commonwealth, its public corporations, and municipalities. Economic progress has been aided by significant increases in the levels of education and occupational skills of the population.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico's economy has experienced a considerable transformation during the past 65 years, shifting from an agriculture economy to an industrial one. Virtually every sector of the economy participated in this expansion. Factors contributing to this expansion include government-sponsored economic development programs, increases in the level of federal transfer payments, and the relatively low cost of borrowing. In some years, these factors were aided by a significant rise in construction investment driven by infrastructure projects, private investment, primarily in housing, and relatively low oil prices. Nevertheless, the significant oil price increases during the past few years, the continuous contraction of the manufacturing sector, and the budgetary pressures on government finances triggered a general contraction in the economy.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth's economy entered a recession beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, the real gross national product (GNP) contracted by 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively. This contraction continued into fiscal year 2009, for which the Puerto Rico Planning Board (the Planning Board) expected a reduction of 3.4% in real GNP. While the trend was expected to continue in fiscal year 2010, the Planning Board announced on April 29, 2009, that the expected positive impact of certain U.S. federal and local economic stimulus measures should outweigh the expected negative impact of the Commonwealth's Fiscal Stabilization Plan (Fiscal Stabilization Plan) and revised its projections for fiscal year 2010 to reflect an increase of 0.1% in real GNP.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. Manufacturing and services are among its principal sectors. The manufacturing sector has undergone fundamental changes over the years as a result of increased emphasis on higher-wage, high-technology industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, computers, microprocessors, professional and scientific instruments, and certain high technology machinery and equipment. Manufacturing employment had been declining during the past decade, and the decline accelerated during fiscal years 2002 and 2003, falling 10.6% and 4.8%, respectively. Thereafter, manufacturing employment seemed to stabilize around 118,000 jobs, but the acceleration in job losses reappeared in fiscal year 2006 with the sector experiencing another significant drop of 4.0%. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, manufacturing employment decreased by 4.2% and 3.4%, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the sector lost an average of 5,600 jobs, or 5.3% compared to the same period of the previous year. Given that this sector used to pay the highest wages, on average, in Puerto Rico, its general downturn has represented a major difficulty for restoring growth for the whole economy. There are several reasons that explain this sector's job shrinkage: the end of the phase-out of Section 936 of the Internal Revenue Code, the net loss of patents on certain pharmaceutical products, the escalation of manufacturing production costs (particularly labor and electricity), the increased use of job outsourcing, and, the effects of the global economic decline. Puerto Rico's manufacturing sector is also facing increased international competition. </R>

<R>The service sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, transportation, communications and public utilities, and other services, also plays a major role in the Commonwealth's economy. The sector has expanded in terms of both income and employment over the past decade. During the period between fiscal years 2004 and 2008, the gross domestic product in this sector, in nominal terms, increased at an average annual rate of 5.0%, while payroll employment in this sector increased at an average annual rate of 0.8%. In the Puerto Rico labor market, self-employment, which is not accounted for in the Payroll Survey, represents approximately 15% of total employment. Most of the self-employment is concentrated in the service and construction sectors. The development of the service sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing and construction. The service sector ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and it is the sector with the greatest employment. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the average service-sector employment was 546,108, a decrease of 2.6% compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.</R>

<R>One factor that has promoted the development of the manufacturing and service sectors in Puerto Rico is the various local and federal tax incentives available, particularly those under Puerto Rico's Industrial Incentives Program.</R>

<R>General Risks. Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the Commonwealth's economy and finances. Such factors may affect the Commonwealth's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the national economy as a whole; (ii) developments with respect to the manufacturing and service sectors of the economy; (iii) developments in the world economy, and in particular commodity prices such as oil; (iv) U.S. fiscal and economic policies, including fiscal stimulus efforts in general and the amount of federal aid to the Commonwealth; (v) and the extent to which the federal stimulus legislation, and in particular the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), as enacted and implemented, provides less federal aid to the Commonwealth than anticipated in the Commonwealth's budget, and the resulting need to implement other revenue enhancements or expenditure reductions.</R>

<R>These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the Commonwealth's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the Commonwealth budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the Commonwealth's and municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.</R>

<R>Recent Events in the Municipal Bond Market. A significant number of auction rate municipal bonds have failed to attract buyers, resulting in "failed auctions" and a resetting of the periodic rates to rates in excess of those which would otherwise prevail in the short-term market. The failed auctions have affected municipal issuers throughout the U.S. and its territories and reflect concerns relating to bond insurers that have insured those bonds as well as changes in the operation of the auction rate itself. As an outcome of these failed auctions, governmental issuers are experiencing significantly higher debt service costs on auction rate bonds and bondholders are experiencing less liquidity than had been anticipated. The duration of the disruption in the auction rate securities market cannot be predicted at this time. In addition, the value of municipal securities may be difficult to measure in the current or a future market environment, as current valuation, significantly affected by external forces, may not reflect the intrinsic, underlying value of Commonwealth municipal securities. These events may adversely impact a fund's NAV.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2007. The Planning Board's reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy during fiscal year 2007 indicate that the real GNP fell by 1.9%. Nominal GNP was $58.6 billion ($44.2 billion in 2000 prices), compared with $56.7 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($45.0 billion in 2000 prices). This represents an increase in nominal (GNP) of 3.2%. Aggregate personal income was $52.3 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($43.3 billion in 2000 prices), as compared to $50.8 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita was $13,269 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,012 in 2000 prices), as compared to $12,944 in fiscal year 2006 ($11,052 in 2000 prices). (Note: Different price deflators are used for GNP and personal income statistics. The year 2000 is used as a basis for comparison because that is the year used by the U.S. Department of Commerce.)</R>

<R>Total employment for fiscal year 2007 averaged 1,262,900, an increase of 0.8% compared to 1,253,400 for fiscal year 2006. The driving force behind total employment was self-employment. The unemployment rate for fiscal year 2007 was 10.4%, a decrease from 11.7% for fiscal year 2006.</R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2008. The Planning Board's preliminary reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy for fiscal year 2008 indicate that real (GNP) decreased 2.5% (3.8% in current dollars) over fiscal year 2007. Nominal (GNP) was $60.8 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($43.0 billion in 2000 prices), compared to $58.6 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($44.2 billion in 2000 prices). Aggregate personal income increased from $52.3 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices) to $56.2 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($44.8 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita increased from $13,269 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,012 in 2000 prices) to $14,237 in fiscal year 2008 ($11,341 in 2000 prices). The increase in personal income in fiscal year 2008 was due in part to the tax rebate program implemented during such year.</R>

<R>Total employment for fiscal year 2008 averaged 1,217,500, a decrease of 3.6% compared to 1,262,900 for fiscal year 2007. At the same time, the unemployment rate for fiscal year 2008 was 11.0%, an increase from 10.4% for fiscal year 2007.</R>

<R>Among the variables contributing to the decrease in (GNP) were the continuous contraction of the manufacturing and construction sectors, as well as the current contraction of U.S. economic activity. Furthermore, the decline in Puerto Rico's GNP was not offset by the federal tax rebates due to the high levels of oil prices during fiscal year 2008. The persistent high price of oil and its derivatives (such as gasoline) during that period served to reduce the income available for other purchases and thereby negatively affected domestic demand. Due to the Commonwealth's dependence on oil for power generation and gasoline (in spite of its recent improvements in power-production diversification), the high level of oil prices accounted for an increased outflow of local income in fiscal year 2008. The current difficulties associated with the financial crisis resulted in lower short-term interest rates, but this did not translate into an improvement in the construction sector.</R>

<R>Forecast for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. The Planning Board's GNP forecast for fiscal year 2009, released in February of the same year, projected a decline of 3.4% in constant dollars, or an increase of 1.5% in current dollars. Personal income is expected to decline by 1.5% in real terms, or to increase by 2.3% in nominal terms. While a prolongation of the economic contraction through fiscal year 2010 had been expected, the Planning Board announced on April 29, 2009 that the expected positive impact of the U.S. federal and local economic stimulus measures discussed below should outweigh the expected negative impact of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan also described below, leading it to adjust its projections for fiscal year 2010.</R>

<R>The Planning Board projected a slight increase in GNP of 0.1% in constant dollars or 3.4% in current dollars. The major factors affecting the economy at this point are, among others, the current contraction of U.S. economic activity; the difficulties of the U.S. and local financial systems, which affect the local economy directly; the increase in federal transfers associated to the economic stimulus enacted by the U.S. government; and the local difficulties associated with the Commonwealth's prolonged fiscal crisis, including the cost reduction initiatives to be implemented as part of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan discussed below.</R>

<R>The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 (from July 2008 to March 2009), averaged 1,179,900, a decrease of 3.1% from the same period of the previous year. Moreover, for the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the unemployment rate was 13.0%, an increase from 11.0% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008.</R>

<R>Revised Economic Data for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. In August 2009, the Planning Board revised its GNP forecast for fiscal year 2009 by projecting a base-case scenario decline of 4.8% in constant dollars, a further decline of 1.4% from the projection released in February 2009. The Planning Board, however, made an upward revision to its GNP forecast for fiscal year 2010 by projecting an increase of 0.7% in constant dollars. The Planning Board's revised forecast for fiscal year 2010 takes into account the estimated effect on the Puerto Rico economy of a multi-year Fiscal Stabilization Plan and of the activity expected to be generated by $1.73 billion from ARRA and $280.3 million from the Puerto Rico government's local stimulus package. The revised forecast also considers the effect on the Puerto Rico economy of general global economic conditions, the U.S. economy, the volatility of oil prices, interest rates and the behavior of local exports, including expenditures by visitors.</R>

<R>Based upon 2009 forecasts, Puerto Rico expects to receive approximately $6 billion in stimulus funds from ARRA, of which approximately $3.3 billion will be used to provide consumer and tax payer relief. As of August 2009, the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority, which is responsible for the administration of ARRA in Puerto Rico, reported that approximately $609 million in ARRA funds for use in health, housing, and education related projects, among others, had been disbursed. </R>

<R>The government has also begun disbursing funds under the local stimulus program. Most municipalities have received disbursements earmarked to pay outstanding debts and fund local projects. The government has also disbursed funds allocated towards job training programs, a strategic water distribution project in a southern municipality and the revamping of the Puerto Rico permits system.</R>

<R>Total employment for fiscal year 2009 averaged 1,168,200, a decrease of 4.1% from the previous fiscal year. The unemployment rate for fiscal year 2009 was 13.4%, an increase from 11% for fiscal year 2008. For the month of October 2009, the unemployment rate was 15.7%, compared with 10.2% for the U.S. as a whole.</R>

<R>Results for Fiscal Year 2009. Total preliminary Puerto Rico General Fund (General Fund) revenues for fiscal year 2009 are $7.76 billion, representing a decrease of $598.6 million, or 7.2%, from preliminary fiscal year 2008 revenues. The major changes from fiscal year 2008 were: (i) decreases in income taxes from individuals of $145.4 million and in corporate income taxes of $201.2 million; (ii) a decrease of $51.9 million in motor vehicle excise taxes; (iii) a decrease of $60.1 million in miscellaneous non-tax revenues; and (iv) a decrease of $16.1 million in sales and use tax revenues. In fiscal year 2008, General Fund revenues also included $145 million of nonrecurring revenues from the sale of certain properties owned by the Commonwealth. The continued decline in General Fund tax revenues reflects primarily the impact of the ongoing economic recession and the effect of tax benefits and incentives granted to certain individual and corporate taxpayers pursuant to previous legislation designed to stimulate economic development.</R>

<R>Total preliminary General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2009 of $7.76 billion exceeded the revised estimate, made in February 2009 of $7.60 billion by approximately $160 million, or 2.1%. The major changes from the revised estimate for fiscal year 2009 were: (i) an increase of $190.4 million in income taxes withheld from non-residents pursuant to certain closing agreements with the Department of the Treasury; and (ii) an increase of $59 million in income taxes from individuals.</R>

<R>Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2010. On July 1, 2009, the Commonwealth's governor signed a General Fund budget for fiscal year 2010 of $7.670 billion. The approved budget is approximately 19% lower than the $9.48 billion budget approved for fiscal year 2009. The approved budget is lower than the preliminary General Fund net revenues for fiscal year 2009 by $90 million, or 1.2%, and creates a payment schedule for certain Commonwealth debts or other obligations, such as borrowings from Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (GDB) that did not have a dedicated source of repayment, and accounts payable to public corporations. The General Fund budget excludes a $2.5 billion Puerto Rico Stabilization Fund (Stabilization Fund) that will facilitate the orderly implementation of certain expense reduction measures adopted by the Government of the Commonwealth pursuant to Act No. 7 of March 9, 2009, (Act No. 7). The Stabilization Fund will provide (i) $1 billion to finance the cost of transitioning public employees to non-governmental sectors and providing vouchers for re-training, self-employment, relocation and salary subsidy alternatives, and (ii) $1.5 billion to cover payroll and operating expenses that are expected to be reduced through fiscal year 2010, but whose savings will not be realized in such fiscal year. The Stabilization Fund will be funded with proceeds from the bonds issued by the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation ("COFINA" by its Spanish-language acronym).</R>

<R>Amendments to Act No. 7. The Commonwealth's Legislative Assembly approved a series of amendments to Act No. 7, which declared a state of fiscal emergency in Puerto Rico and adopted a comprehensive plan for fiscal and economic stabilization. The amendments do not alter the forecast of General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2010, nor do they affect the adoption of on-going expense reduction measures. Act No. 7 was amended to, among other things: (i) restore the tax-exemption enjoyed by certain securities that were affected by recent changes under the Alternative Minimum Tax; and (ii) introduce, with certain exceptions, a total cap of $40 million for granting tax credits related to Act No. 212 of 2002 (Urban Renewal projects) and establish specific limitations on the claim of such credits. These amendments also re-introduced the Sales and Use Tax Resale Exemption Certificate to retailers with a proven sales volume higher than $500,000. Retailers with a lower sales volume may enjoy the exemption subject to approval from the Secretary. The Secretary retains the right to revoke any Exemption Certificate for the period of a year if a retailer fails to comply with filing requirements related to the Sales and Use Tax. Finally, the amendments extended the temporary Commonwealth property tax to commercial real estate. The applicable Commonwealth property tax will be 0.591%. This temporary tax will be levied for three years or until an aggregated amount of $690 million is collected from this tax, whichever event occurs first.</R>

<R>On August 5, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico denied the preliminary injunction requested by a group of government employees and labor organizations in a complaint filed on April 13, 2009, challenging the constitutionality of Act No. 7 and seeking to enjoin its enforcement. The District Court's decision allows the Government to continue with the implementation of Act No. 7. The Government has moved to dismiss the complaint and will continue to vigorously defend the constitutionality of Act No. 7.</R>

<R>Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Commonwealth's current administration, which commenced on January 2, 2009, and controls the Executive and Legislative branches of government, has developed and commenced implementing a multi-year Fiscal Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction Plan that seeks to achieve fiscal balance and restore economic growth. The Fiscal Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction Plan is composed of two main elements: the Fiscal Stabilization Plan and the Economic Reconstruction Plan. The Fiscal Stabilization Plan seeks to achieve budgetary balance on or before fiscal year 2013, while addressing expected fiscal deficits in the intervening years through the implementation of a number of initiatives, including the following: (i) a $2 billion operating expense-reduction plan during fiscal year 2010, through government reorganization and reduction of operating expenses, including payroll which is the main component of government expenditures; (ii) a combination of temporary and permanent tax increases, coupled with additional tax enforcement measures; and (iii) a bond issuance program through COFINA. Before the temporary measures expire in 2013, the administration intends to design and adopt a comprehensive reform of the tax system and a long-term economic development plan to complement the economic reconstruction and supplemental stimulus initiatives described below. The proceeds expected to be obtained from the COFINA bond issuance program will be used to repay existing government debt (including debts with the GDB), finance operating expenses of the Commonwealth for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 (and for fiscal year 2012, to the extent included in the government's annual budget for such fiscal year), including costs related to the implementation of a workforce reduction plan, the funding of an economic stimulus plan, as described below, and for other purposes to address the fiscal imbalance while the Fiscal Stabilization Plan is being implemented. The Fiscal Stabilization Plan seeks to safeguard the investment grade ratings of the Commonwealth's general obligation debt and lay the foundation for sustainable economic growth. Legislation has already been enacted authorizing the implementation of all the measures in the Fiscal Stabilization Plan and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has certified projected savings of $237 million for fiscal year 2010 from implemented measures to date.</R>

<R>As discussed above, in order to achieve fiscal balance, the Fiscal Stabilization Plan established a government-wide operating expense-reduction program aimed at reducing annual payroll and other operating expenses by $2 billion by the end of fiscal year 2010. The Fiscal Board estimates that the annual savings from all cost reduction measures implemented or identified by the Commonwealth as of September 30, 2009, will amount to approximately $1.2 billion, which is approximately 60% of the $2 billion target. The Fiscal Board continues to seek and implement various initiatives to obtain additional savings necessary in order to achieve the $2 billion target. The additional savings are expected to come from both cost reduction and revenue generating initiatives, which include, among others, improvements in government procurement processes, reorganization and increased fiscal oversight of government agencies and improvements in tax collection and enforcement measures.</R>

<R>Economic Reconstruction Plan</R>

<R>The Commonwealth's current administration has also developed and commenced implementing a short-term economic reconstruction plan that seeks to stimulate growth in the short-term and lay the foundation for long-term economic development. The cornerstone of this plan is the implementation of U.S. federal and local economic stimulus programs. Puerto Rico will benefit from ARRA enacted by the U.S. government to stimulate the U.S. economy in the wake of the global economic downturn. Puerto Rico expects to receive approximately $5.0 billion from ARRA during the next two fiscal years, which includes tax relief, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, health care, and infrastructure, among other measures. The administration will seek to complement the U.S. federal stimulus with additional short- and medium-term supplemental stimulus measures seeking to address specific local challenges and providing investment in strategic areas. These measures include a local $500 million economic stimulus plan to supplement the federal plan. In addition, to further stimulate economic development and cope with the fiscal crisis, the administration is in the process of establishing a legal framework to authorize and promote the use of public-private partnerships to finance and develop infrastructure projects and operate and manage certain public assets.</R>

<R>Economic Development Program. The Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DEDC), in coordination with other government agencies, has been in the process of formulating and implementing a series of economic development initiatives with the goal of laying the groundwork for sustainable economic growth. These initiatives are centered on the dual mission of fostering multi-sector growth while reducing costs and barriers to business and investment, and are a medium-to-long-term counterpart to the Economic Reconstruction Plan and the Supplemental Stimulus Plan described above. The economic development initiatives are aimed at improving Puerto Rico's overall global relevance, competitiveness, and business environment and seek to increase private-sector capital formation and participation in the Puerto Rico economy. The administration will emphasize three main initiatives to enhance Puerto Rico's competitive position: (i) overhauling the permitting process; (ii) reforming the labor market; and (iii) reducing energy costs.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico Tax Incentives. Corporations operating in Puerto Rico (other than corporations organized in the U.S. with a local branch) and individuals residing in Puerto Rico generally are not subject to federal income taxes on income derived in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>The Commonwealth has enacted legislation providing tax exemptions and tax incentives for businesses operating within certain sectors of the economy. Tax incentives laws have existed in Puerto Rico for over 50 years. The most recent tax incentives act, the Economic Incentives Act enacted on May 28, 2008, covers companies dedicated to manufacturing and the export of services. All eligible businesses operating under previous tax incentives laws may apply for the benefits provided by the Economic Incentives Act.</R>

<R>The Economic Incentives Act streamlines the process for obtaining tax incentives and provides recipients with certainty as to the amount of benefits they will receive over time. The Economic Incentives Act expands the definition of manufacturing to include cluster and supply chain concepts, addresses issues of cost competitiveness, and simplifies the applicable rules. The tax structure established by the Economic Incentives Act generally has a 4% income tax rate and a 12% withholding tax rate for royalties. An alternative structure has an 8% income tax rate and a 2% withholding tax on royalties. For existing businesses with tax rates between 2% and 4%, the Secretary of the DEDC has the discretion to grant the same tax benefits if doing so is considered to be in the best interests of Puerto Rico's economy. Income tax rates may be reduced by an additional 0.5% for projects located in low- or mid-economic development areas. Additional exceptions to the general tax structure exist for pioneering activities, local firms and small businesses. Pioneering activities may have a 1% income tax rate, or no income taxes if the research and development activity is located completely within Puerto Rico. Local firms may enjoy a tax rate as low as 3%, and for small- and medium-sized businesses the tax rate may be as low as 1%, provided such activities are eligible for certain credits provided by the Economic Incentives Act.</R>

<R>A variety of tax credits are available under the Economic Incentives Act, including: for the purchase of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; for job creation; for investment in research and development; for investment in energy-generation equipment; to reduce the cost of energy; to transfer technology; and for investors who acquire exempt operations in the process of shutting down. There are also investment credits for projects classified as strategic projects. Some of these credits can be carried forward and others can be sold.</R>

<R>Public Sector Debt</R>

<R>The Constitution of Puerto Rico limits the amount of general obligation debt that the Commonwealth can issue. Section 2 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth provides that direct obligations of the Commonwealth evidenced by full faith and credit bonds or notes shall not be issued if the amount of the principal of and interest on such bonds and notes and on all such bonds and notes theretofore issued that is payable in any fiscal year, together with any amount paid by the Commonwealth in the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance on account of bonds or notes guaranteed by the Commonwealth, exceed 15% of the average annual revenues raised under the provisions of Commonwealth legislation and deposited into the Treasury in the two fiscal years preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance. Section 2 of Article VI does not limit the amount of debt that the Commonwealth may guarantee so long as the 15% limitation is not exceeded through payments by the Commonwealth on such guaranteed debt. Annual debt service payments on bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth are not included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation. In the event any of the public corporations issuers of guaranteed bonds are unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on their guaranteed bonds, the Commonwealth would be required to make such payments under its guarantee from the General Fund, and such debt service would be included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation. The Commonwealth's policy has been to be to maintain the level of such debt below the constitutional limitation. Debt of municipalities, other than bond anticipation notes, is supported by real and personal property taxes and municipal license taxes. Debt of public corporations, other than bond anticipation notes, is generally supported by the revenues of such corporations from rates charged for services or products.</R>

<R>Commonwealth Guaranteed Debt. As of December 31, 2008, $3.05 billion of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of the Public Buildings Authority were outstanding. Maximum annual debt service on these bonds is $236.2 million in fiscal year 2011, with their final maturity being July 1, 2037. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required to date for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of December 31, 2008, $267 million of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of GDB were outstanding. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds. As of December 31, 2008, GDB held approximately $154.8 million of the Port of the Americas Authority's outstanding bonds, which are guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Port of the Americas Authority is authorized to issue and GDB is authorized to purchase its bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The proceeds from these bonds will be used to continue the development of the Port of the Americas. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds.</R>

<R>As of December 31, 2008, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of obligations of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) guaranteed by the Commonwealth was $902.0 million. This amount consisted of $284.7 million in revenue bonds sold to the public, $312.4 million in bonds issued to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, and $304.9 million of loans by the State Revolving (Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Act) Funds for the benefit of PRASA. From January 1997 through fiscal year 2005, the Commonwealth made debt service payments under its guaranty. Beginning with the debt service payment due January 1, 2006, the Commonwealth stopped making guarantee payments on these obligations and PRASA resumed making payments on this debt. In the event PRASA is unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on its guaranteed obligations, the Commonwealth would be required to make such payments from the General Fund under its guarantee.</R>

<R>Retirement Systems</R>

<R>Public employees of the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities are covered by five retirement systems: the Employees Retirement System, the Puerto Rico System of Annuities and Pensions for Teachers (the Teachers Retirement System), the Commonwealth Judiciary Retirement System (the Judiciary Retirement System), the Retirement System of the University of Puerto Rico (the University Retirement System), and the Employees Retirement System of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (the Electric Power Authority Retirement System).</R>

<R>The University Retirement System and the Electric Power Authority Retirement System apply to employees of the University of Puerto Rico and Electric Power Authority, respectively. The Commonwealth is not required to contribute directly to those two systems, although a large portion of University revenues is derived from legislative appropriations.</R>

<R>As of June 30, 2008, the total numbers of participants, including active participants and retirees, in the other three systems were as follows: Employees Retirement System, 278,732; Teachers Retirement System, 77,840; and Judiciary Retirement System, 695. The three systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the Commonwealth, public corporations, and municipalities) and employees, and investment income. The central government is responsible for approximately 64% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System and for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary and Teachers Retirement Systems, respectively.</R>

<R>According to the most recent independent actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System, as of June 30, 2007, the preliminary figures for actuarial accrued liability was $16.770 billion and the actuarial value of assets was $2.892 billion, representing a funding ratio of 17.2% and the resulting unfunded actuarial accrued liability was $13.878 billion. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8.5% per year and a salary increase of 5% per year. During fiscal year 2009, the Employees Retirement System had a cash shortfall of approximately $385 million. This cash shortfall was covered from the sale of certain investments. The Employees Retirement System's projected cash flow shortfall for fiscal year 2010 is approximately $400 million, which is expected to be covered from resources available to the Employees Retirement System, including the sale of certain investments. This negative trend is expected to continue partly due to possible future increases in the cost of living adjustments, changes in demographics of retirees and beneficiaries, and possible higher pension payments due to higher salaries of future retirees. The Employees Retirement System's cash flow shortfall for fiscal year 2010 could also be affected by the implementation of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Employees Retirement System continues to evaluate measures to improve the System's cash flow and funding ratio, as well as the potential impact of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Employees Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal years 2004 through 2007 exceeded contributions and investment income for those years. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2004 was covered with a loan received from the Department of the Treasury. Balances owed to the Department of the Treasury and other pending working capital needs through fiscal year 2005 were refinanced through a repurchase agreement with a financial institution in an amount of $138 million collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2006 was approximately $70 million. This shortfall was covered with a line of credit provided by a private financial institution and collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. There was no cash shortfall for fiscal year 2007 on account of the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the Puerto Rico Telephone Company stock that the Puerto Rico Telephone Authority held for the benefit of the Trust. Also with these proceeds the Employees Retirement System paid off the balances of the 2005 repurchase agreement and the 2006 line of credit used to cover the respective year's cash shortfalls. For fiscal year 2008, the Employees Retirement System experienced a positive cash flow due to various nonrecurring sources of income and a series of financings to increase the Employees Retirement System's funding ratio and reduce its unfunded pension benefit obligation. The financings involved the issuance by the Employees Retirement System of debt secured by a pledge of future employer contributions over the next 50 years. All net cash generated by these financings was deposited into the Employees Retirement System trust and invested along with its other assets. As of June 30, 2008, the Employees Retirement System had issued three series totaling approximately $2.9 billion of its Senior Pension Funding Bonds.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2007, the accrued actuarial liability was $7.756 billion and the value of its assets amounted to $3.163 billion, representing a funding ratio of 41%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $4.593 billion. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8%, yearly salary increases of 3.5%, employee and employer contributions of 9% and 8.5%, respectively, an inflation rate of 2.5%, and a remaining amortization period of 30 years for the unfunded accrued liability. With respect to the Teachers Retirement System, the cash shortfalls for fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008 were $65 million, $40 million, and $75 million, respectively. Investments were liquidated to cover these shortfalls. For fiscal year 2009, the Teachers Retirement System expects to have a cash shortfall of approximately $67 million. Based on the Teachers Retirement System's estimates, it could have an $81 million cash flow deficit for fiscal year 2010. This negative trend is expected to continue given that Puerto Rico Teachers Retirement System is in a relatively mature stage. Based on the current statutory funding requirements, the annual benefit payments and administrative expenses paid by the Teachers Retirement System are significantly larger than the member and employer contributions made to the Teachers Retirement System. Thus, according to the 2007 actuarial valuation, investment income must be used to cover this negative cash flow. The Teachers Retirement System is seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth's General Fund in the amount of $119 million for special benefits paid by the Teachers Retirement System to its beneficiaries through June 30, 2004, pursuant to special benefit laws enacted by the Legislative Assembly. The Teachers Retirement System's interpretation of these special benefit laws, to the effect that the Commonwealth is required to reimburse the Teachers Retirement System for such special benefits paid, is being disputed by the Office of Management and Budget. In March 2009 the Department of Education paid to the Teachers Retirement System the amount of $12 million as partial payment. The dispute for the pending amount of $107 million continues under inter-agency arbitration proceedings. The Employees Retirement System is also seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth (in connection with other special benefits laws applicable to its beneficiaries) in the amount of $73.9 million, representing cumulative benefits paid to beneficiaries through June 30, 2005.</R>

<R>The market value of the investment portfolios (which excludes loans to plan members) held by the retirement plans has been materially adversely affected by the global decline in value of equity securities. This decline has had an adverse effect on the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the retirement systems.</R>

<R>Litigation. The Commonwealth and its officers and employees are parties to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the Commonwealth is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the Commonwealth's recent Official Statements) that, if decided against the Commonwealth, might require the Commonwealth to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund's investments.</R>

<R>Bond Ratings. As of December 24, 2009, the Commonwealth's General Obligation Bonds were rated Baa3 and BBB- by Moody's and S&P, respectively.</R>

<R>Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating agency and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if in the judgment of such rating agency circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds.</R>

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of equity securities on a securities exchange or OTC are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Generally, compensation relating to securities traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than compensation relating to securities traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation. Compensation may also be paid in connection with principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system. Equity securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Purchases and sales of fixed-income securities are generally made with an issuer or a primary market-maker acting as principal. Although there is no stated brokerage commission paid by the fund for any fixed-income security, the price paid by the fund to an underwriter includes the disclosed underwriting fee and prices in secondary trades usually include an undisclosed dealer commission or markup reflecting the spread between the bid and ask prices of the fixed-income security.

The Trustees of the fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund. The Trustees also review the compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if it was reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

The Selection of Brokers

In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) to execute the fund's portfolio transactions, FMR considers factors deemed relevant in the context of a particular trade and in regard to FMR's overall responsibilities with respect to the fund and other investment accounts, including any instructions from the fund's portfolio manager, which may emphasize, for example, speed of execution over other factors. The factors considered will influence whether it is appropriate to execute an order using ECNs, electronic channels including algorithmic trading, or by actively working an order. Other factors deemed relevant may include, but are not limited to: price; the size and type of the transaction; the reasonableness of compensation to be paid, including spreads and commission rates; the speed and certainty of trade executions, including broker willingness to commit capital; the nature and characteristics of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold, including the degree of specialization of the broker in such markets or securities; the availability of liquidity in the security, including the liquidity and depth afforded by a market center or market-maker; the reliability of a market center or broker; the broker's overall trading relationship with FMR; the trader's assessment of whether and how closely the broker likely will follow the trader's instructions to the broker; the degree of anonymity that a particular broker or market can provide; the potential for avoiding market impact; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services, if applicable. In seeking best qualitative execution, FMR may select a broker using a trading method for which the broker may charge a higher commission than its lowest available commission rate. FMR also may select a broker that charges more than the lowest available commission rate available from another broker. For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services provided by the FCM.

The Acquisition of Brokerage and Research Products and Services

Brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) that execute transactions for the fund may receive higher compensation from the fund than other brokers might have charged the fund, in recognition of the value of the brokerage or research products and services they provide to FMR or its affiliates.

Research Products and Services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, company, municipal, sovereign (U.S. and non-U.S.), legal, or political research reports; market color; company meeting facilitation; compilation of securities prices, earnings, dividends and similar data; quotation services, data, information and other services; analytical computer software and services; and investment recommendations. FMR may request that a broker provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. Some of these products and services supplement FMR's own research activities in providing investment advice to the fund.

Execution Services. In addition, products and services may include those that assist in the execution, clearing, and settlement of securities transactions, as well as other incidental functions (including but not limited to communication services related to trade execution, order routing and algorithmic trading, post-trade matching, exchange of messages among brokers or dealers, custodians and institutions, and the use of electronic confirmation and affirmation of institutional trades).

Mixed-Use Products and Services. In addition to receiving brokerage and research products and services via written reports and computer-delivered services, such reports may also be provided by telephone and in personal meetings with securities analysts, corporate and industry spokespersons, economists, academicians and government representatives and others with relevant professional expertise. FMR and its affiliates may use commission dollars to obtain certain products or services that are not used exclusively in FMR's or its affiliates' investment decision-making process (mixed-use products or services). In those circumstances, FMR or its affiliates will make a good faith judgment to evaluate the various benefits and uses to which they intend to put the mixed-use product or service, and will pay for that portion of the mixed-use product or service that does not qualify as brokerage and research products and services with their own resources (referred to as "hard dollars").

Benefit to FMR. FMR's expenses would likely be increased if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts, or if it paid for these products or services itself. Certain of the brokerage and research products and services FMR receives from brokers are furnished by brokers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. Some of these products or services may not have an explicit cost associated with such product or service.

FMR's Decision-Making Process. Before causing the fund to pay a particular level of compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research products and services provided to FMR, viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. While FMR may take into account the brokerage and/or research products and services provided by a broker in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to any broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a specific amount of compensation or otherwise. Typically, these products and services assist FMR and its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund. Certain funds or investment accounts may use brokerage commissions to acquire brokerage and research products and services that may also benefit other funds or accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates.

Research Contracts. FMR has arrangements with certain third-party research providers and brokers through whom FMR effects fund trades, whereby FMR may pay with fund commissions or hard dollars for all or a portion of the cost of research products and services purchased from such research providers or brokers. If hard dollar payments are used, FMR may still cause the fund to pay more for execution than the lowest commission rate available from the broker providing research products and services to FMR, or that may be available from another broker. FMR views hard dollar payments for research products and services as likely to reduce the fund's total commission costs even though it is expected that in such hard dollar arrangements the commissions available for recapture and to pay fund expenses, as described below, will decrease. FMR's determination to pay for research products and services separately, rather than bundled with fund commissions, is wholly voluntary on FMR's part and may be extended to additional brokers or discontinued with any broker participating in this arrangement.

Commission Recapture

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker, using a predetermined methodology, rebates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund to offset that fund's expenses, which may be paid to FMR or its affiliates. Not all brokers with whom the fund trades have agreed to participate in brokerage commission recapture.

Affiliated Transactions

FMR may place trades with certain brokers, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), with whom it is under common control provided FMR determines that these affiliates' trade execution abilities and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the fund could purchase in the underwritings.

Trade Allocation

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts (including proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed by FMR to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. In some cases adherence to these procedures could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund.

Commissions Paid

A fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. The amount of brokerage commissions paid by a fund may change from year to year because of, among other things, changing asset levels, shareholder activity, and/or portfolio turnover.

<R>For the fiscal periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 15% and 26%, respectively.</R>

<R> </R>

The following table shows the total amount of brokerage commissions paid by the fund, comprising commissions paid on securities and/or futures transactions, as applicable, for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, 2009, and February 29, 2008. The total amount of brokerage commissions paid is stated as a dollar amount and a percentage of the fund's average net assets.

VALUATION

Each class's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of each class is computed by adding the class's pro rata share of the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting the class's pro rata share of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to the class, and dividing the result by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods. If quotations are not available, debt securities are usually valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement or closing price. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

The fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing each class's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

The fund, in its discretion, may determine to issue its shares in kind in exchange for securities held by the purchaser having a value, determined in accordance with the fund's policies for valuation of portfolio securities, equal to the purchase price of the fund shares issued. The fund will accept for in-kind purchases only securities or other instruments that are appropriate under its investment objective and policies. In addition, the fund generally will not accept securities of any issuer unless they are liquid, have a readily ascertainable market value, and are not subject to restrictions on resale. All dividends, distributions, and subscription or other rights associated with the securities become the property of the fund, along with the securities. Shares purchased in exchange for securities in kind generally cannot be redeemed for fifteen days following the exchange to allow time for the transfer to settle.

In addition to the exchange privileges listed in the fund's prospectus, the fund offers the privilege of moving between certain share classes of the same fund, as detailed below. Such transactions are subject to minimum investment limitations and other eligibility requirements of the applicable class of shares of a fund, and may be subject to applicable sales loads. An exchange between share classes of the same fund generally is a non-taxable event.

Class A: Shares of Class A may be exchanged for Institutional Class shares of the same fund.

Class T: Shares of Class T may be exchanged for Class A (on a load-waived basis) or Institutional Class shares of the same fund.

Class B: Shares of Class B may be exchanged for Class A, Class T, or Institutional Class shares of the same fund.

Class C: Shares of Class C may be exchanged for Class A, Class T, or Institutional Class shares of the same fund.

Institutional Class: Shares of Institutional Class may be exchanged for Class A shares of the same fund if you are no longer eligible for Institutional Class.

The fund may terminate or modify its exchange privileges in the future.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. To the extent that the fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund will be federally tax-exempt, provided that the fund qualifies to pay tax-exempt dividends. In order to qualify to pay tax-exempt dividends, at least 50% of the value of the fund's total assets (including uninvested assets) must consist of tax-exempt municipal securities at the close of each quarter of the fund's taxable year. Short-term capital gains are taxable at ordinary income tax rates.

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantee that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued and you may need to file an amended income tax return. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the federal AMT, although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities is a tax preference item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and the amount of AMT to be paid, if any.

A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, not as capital gains.

<R>California Tax Matters. As long as a fund continues to qualify as a regulated investment company under the federal Internal Revenue Code, it will incur no California income or franchise tax liability on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. California personal income tax law provides that exempt-interest dividends paid by a regulated investment company, or series thereof, from interest on obligations that are exempt from California personal income tax are excludable from gross income. For a fund to qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends under California law, at least 50% of the value of its assets must consist of such obligations at the close of each quarter of its fiscal year. For purposes of California personal income taxation, distributions to individual shareholders derived from interest on other types of obligations and short-term capital gains will be taxed as dividends, and long-term capital gain distributions will be taxed as capital gains. California has an alternative minimum tax similar to the federal AMT described above. However, the California AMT does not include interest from private activity municipal obligations as an item of tax preference. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder in connection with the purchase of shares of a fund will not be deductible for California personal income tax purposes. Corporate taxpayers should note that dividends will not be exempt from California corporate income or franchise tax.</R>

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

<R>As of February 28, 2010, the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $24,208,198. This loss carryforward, of which $22,249,274 and $1,958,924 will expire on February 28, 2017 and 2018, respectively, is available to offset future capital gains. Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations, a fund's ability to utilize its capital loss carryforwards in a given year or in total may be limited.</R>

Tax Status of the Fund. The fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

<R>TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS</R>

<R>The Trustees and executive officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 188 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Mr. Curvey oversees 410 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.</R>

<R>The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The executive officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.</R>

<R>Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates ("Statement of Policy"). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.</R>

<R>In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.</R>

<R>Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Kenneth L. Wolfe serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.</R>

<R>Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds that are overseen by such other Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.</R>

<R>The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."</R>

<R>Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. Currently, the Board of Trustees has three standing committees. The members of each committee are Independent Trustees.</R>

<R>The Operations Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Wolfe currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets at least six times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the Independent Trustees. The committee considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding contracts with third parties unaffiliated with FMR, including insurance coverage and custody agreements. The committee has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. These matters include, but are not limited to, significant non-conformance with contract requirements and other significant regulatory matters and recommending to the Board of Trustees the designation of a person to serve as the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The committee (i) serves as the primary point of contact for the CCO with regard to Board-related functions; (ii) oversees the annual performance review of the CCO; (iii) makes recommendations concerning the CCO's compensation; and (iv) makes recommendations as needed in respect of the removal of the CCO. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held 22 meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Ms. Knowles currently serving as Chair. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least annually with the funds' Treasurer, with the funds' Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR LLC, and with the funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the funds and the funds' service providers (to the extent such controls impact the funds' financial statements); (ii) the funds' auditors and the annual audits of the funds' financial statements; (iii) the financial reporting processes of the funds; (iv) whistleblower reports; and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the funds and for resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the funds and any service providers consistent with the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee will also review any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies or published reports that raise material issues regarding the funds' financial statements or accounting policies. These matters may also be reviewed by the Operations Committee. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the funds. The committee will review with FMR, the funds' outside auditor, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC and, as appropriate, legal counsel the results of audits of the funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held five meetings.</R>

<R>The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Wolfe (Chair) and Gamper, and Ms. Knowles. The committee meets as called by the Chair. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of Independent Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for Independent Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for Independent Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the funds and the Independent Trustees. On behalf of the Independent Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the Independent Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to Independent Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the Independent Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with Independent Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to fund governance. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the funds' or the Board of Trustees' policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of Independent Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of Independent Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify Independent Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee's scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the funds' expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting Independent Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an interested person of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings during the year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held six meetings.</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR LLC, as successor by merger to FMR Corp., is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited (FMR H.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), and Fidelity Research & Analysis Company (FRAC). The voting common shares of FMR LLC are divided into two series. Series B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d and Abigail P. Johnson family, directly or through trust and limited liability companies, and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common shares. Series A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Series B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Series B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting securities of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR LLC and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

FIL Limited, a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of FIL Investment Advisors (FIIA) and FIL Investment Advisors (U.K.) Ltd. (FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Abigail P. Johnson, other Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL Limited. At present, the primary business activities of FIL Limited and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

FMR, FIMM, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., FMR Japan, FRAC, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L (the Investment Advisers), FDC, and the fund have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, has overall responsibility for directing the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are interested persons of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer agent and pricing and bookkeeping agent, the fund or each class thereof, as applicable, pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and Independent Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

<R>The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $1,271 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for February 2010 - was 0.1163%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $1,271 billion.</R>

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.25%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for February 2010, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

<R>Group Fee Rate

 

Individual Fund Fee Rate

 

Management Fee Rate</R>

<R>0.1163%

+

0.2500%

=

0.3663%</R>

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

<R>For the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, 2009, and February 29, 2008, the fund paid FMR management fees of $5,844,595, $5,877,307, and $5,980,250, respectively.</R>

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of a class's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a class's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a class will lower its returns and yield.

Sub-Adviser - FIMM. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM pursuant to which FIMM has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for the fund. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, FMR, and not the fund, pays FIMM's fees.

Sub-Advisers - FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L. On behalf of the fund, FIMM has entered into a master international fixed-income research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of the fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into a fixed-income sub-research agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements, FIMM may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States. In particular, FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Under the terms of the master international fixed-income research agreement, FIMM, and not the fund, pays FIIA. Under the terms of the fixed-income sub-research agreement, FIIA, and not the fund, pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

Sub-Adviser - FRAC. On behalf of the fund, FMR, FIMM, and FRAC have entered into a research agreement. Pursuant to the research agreement, FRAC provides investment advice and research services on domestic issuers. Under the terms of the research agreement, FMR and FIMM, and not the fund, agree, in the aggregate, to pay FRAC.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States (non-discretionary services) and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority and the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund (discretionary services). FMR, and not the fund, pays the sub-advisers.

<R>Jamie Pagliocco is the portfolio manager of the fund and receives compensation for his services. As of February 28, 2010, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.</R>

<R>The portfolio manager's base salary is determined by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR municipal bond funds and accounts. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to his tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) and the average asset size of those fund(s) and account(s) over his tenure. Each component is calculated separately over the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with his tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a benchmark index. A smaller, subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of the fund is based on the fund's pre-tax investment performance measured against the Barclays Capital California Enhanced Municipal Bond Index. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.</R>

<R>The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. Although investors in a fund may invest through either tax-deferred accounts or taxable accounts, the portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax performance of the fund, rather than its after-tax performance. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to assess the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, a fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR or an affiliate. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by a fund. Securities selected for other funds or accounts may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Portfolio managers may be permitted to invest in the funds they manage, even if a fund is closed to new investors. Trading in personal accounts, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, is restricted by a fund's Code of Ethics.</R>

<R>PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES</R>

<R>The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the Independent Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)</R>

<R>I. General Principles</R>

<R> A. Voting of shares will be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of Fidelity Fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company will generally be voted in a manner consistent with the Guidelines; and (ii) voting will be done without regard to any other Fidelity companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.</R>

<R> B. FMR Investment Proxy Research votes proxies. In the event an Investment Proxy Research employee has a personal conflict with a portfolio company or an employee or director of a portfolio company, that employee will withdraw from making any proxy voting decisions with respect to that portfolio company. A conflict of interest arises when there are factors that may prompt one to question whether a Fidelity employee is acting solely in the best interests of Fidelity and its customers. Employees are expected to avoid situations that could present even the appearance of a conflict between their interests and the interests of Fidelity and its customers.</R>

<R> C. Except as set forth herein, FMR will generally vote in favor of routine management proposals.</R>

<R> D. Non-routine proposals will generally be voted in accordance with the Guidelines.</R>

<R> E. Non-routine proposals not covered by the Guidelines or involving other special circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with input from the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, as applicable, subject to review by an attorney within FMR's General Counsel's office and a member of senior management within FMR Investment Proxy Research. A significant pattern of such proposals or other special circumstances will be referred to the appropriate Fidelity Fund Board Committee or its designee.</R>

<R> F. FMR will vote on shareholder proposals not specifically addressed by the Guidelines based on an evaluation of a proposal's likelihood to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value. Where information is not readily available to analyze the economic impact of the proposal, FMR will generally abstain.</R>

<R> G. Many Fidelity Funds invest in voting securities issued by companies that are domiciled outside the United States and are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange. Corporate governance standards, legal or regulatory requirements and disclosure practices in foreign countries can differ from those in the United States. When voting proxies relating to non-U.S. securities, FMR will generally evaluate proposals in the context of the Guidelines, but FMR may, where applicable and feasible, take into consideration differing laws and regulations in the relevant foreign market in determining how to vote shares.</R>

<R> H. In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, shareholders voting shares of a portfolio company may be restricted from trading the shares for a period of time around the shareholder meeting date. Because such trading restrictions can hinder portfolio management and could result in a loss of liquidity for a fund, FMR will generally not vote proxies in circumstances where such restrictions apply. In addition, certain non-U.S. jurisdictions require voting shareholders to disclose current share ownership on a fund-by-fund basis. When such disclosure requirements apply, FMR will generally not vote proxies in order to safeguard fund holdings information.</R>

<R> I. Where a management-sponsored proposal is inconsistent with the Guidelines, FMR may receive a company's commitment to modify the proposal or its practice to conform to the Guidelines, and FMR will generally support management based on this commitment. If a company subsequently does not abide by its commitment, FMR will generally withhold authority for the election of directors at the next election.</R>

<R>II. Definitions (as used in this document)</R>

<R> A. Anti-Takeover Provision - includes fair price amendments; classified boards; "blank check" preferred stock; Golden Parachutes; supermajority provisions; Poison Pills; restricting the right to call special meetings; and any other provision that eliminates or limits shareholder rights.</R>

<R> B. Golden Parachute - Employment contracts, agreements, or policies that include an excise tax gross-up provision; single trigger for cash incentives; or may result in a lump sum payment of cash and acceleration of equity that may total more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of a termination following a change in control.</R>

<R> C. Greenmail - payment of a premium to repurchase shares from a shareholder seeking to take over a company through a proxy contest or other means.</R>

<R> D. Sunset Provision - a condition in a charter or plan that specifies an expiration date.</R>

<R> E. Permitted Bid Feature - a provision suspending the application of a Poison Pill, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer for all outstanding shares.</R>

<R> F. Poison Pill - a strategy employed by a potential take-over/target company to make its stock less attractive to an acquirer. Poison Pills are generally designed to dilute the acquirer's ownership and value in the event of a take-over.</R>

<R> G. Large-Capitalization Company - a company included in the Russell 1000® stock index.</R>

<R> H. Small-Capitalization Company - a company not included in the Russell 1000 stock index that is not a Micro-Capitalization Company.</R>

<R> I. Micro-Capitalization Company - a company with a market capitalization under US $300 million.</R>

<R> J. Evergreen Provision - a feature which provides for an automatic increase in the shares available for grant under an equity award plan on a regular basis.</R>

<R>III. Directors</R>

<R> A. Incumbent Directors</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of incumbent and nominee directors except where one or more such directors clearly appear to have failed to exercise reasonable judgment.</R>

<R> FMR will also generally withhold authority for the election of all directors or directors on responsible committees if:</R>

<R> 1. An Anti-Takeover Provision was introduced, an Anti-Takeover Provision was extended, or a new Anti-Takeover Provision was adopted upon the expiration of an existing Anti-Takeover Provision, without shareholder approval except as set forth below.</R>

<R> With respect to Poison Pills, however, FMR will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if all of the following conditions are met when a Poison Pill is introduced, extended, or adopted:</R>

<R> a. The Poison Pill includes a Sunset Provision of less than five years;</R>

<R> b. The Poison Pill includes a Permitted Bid Feature;</R>

<R> c. The Poison Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; and</R>

<R> d. Shareholder approval is required to reinstate the Poison Pill upon expiration.</R>

<R> FMR will also consider not withholding authority on the election of directors when one or more of the conditions above are not met if a board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding above conditions noted a. and b. to an existing Poison Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, FMR will withhold authority on the election of directors.</R>

<R> 2. The company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend the Poison Pill to allow Fidelity to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.</R>

<R> 3. Within the last year and without shareholder approval, a company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options, exchanged outstanding options for equity, or tendered cash for outstanding options.</R>

<R> 4. The company failed to act in the best interests of shareholders when approving executive compensation, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company used an independent compensation committee; (ii) whether the compensation committee engaged independent compensation consultants; (iii) whether the company has admitted to or settled a regulatory proceeding relating to options backdating; (iv) whether the compensation committee has lapsed or waived equity vesting restrictions; and (v) whether the company has adopted or extended a Golden Parachute without shareholder approval.</R>

<R> 5. To gain FMR's support on a proposal, the company made a commitment to modify a proposal or practice to conform to the Guidelines and the company has failed to act on that commitment.</R>

<R> 6. The director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the board or its committees on which the director served during the company's prior fiscal year, absent extenuating circumstances.</R>

<R> 7. The board is not composed of a majority of independent directors.</R>

<R> B. Indemnification</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of charter and by-law amendments expanding the indemnification of directors and/or limiting their liability for breaches of care unless FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by Anti-Takeover Provisions.</R>

<R> C. Independent Chairperson</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.</R>

<R> D. Majority Director Elections</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals calling for directors to be elected by an affirmative majority of votes cast in a board election, provided that the proposal allows for plurality voting standard in the case of contested elections (i.e., where there are more nominees than board seats). FMR may consider voting against such shareholder proposals where a company's board has adopted an alternative measure, such as a director resignation policy, that provides a meaningful alternative to the majority voting standard and appropriately addresses situations where an incumbent director fails to receive the support of a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election.</R>

<R>IV. Compensation</R>

<R> A. Equity award plans (including stock options, restricted stock awards, and other stock awards).</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against equity award plans or amendments to authorize additional shares under such plans if:</R>

<R> 1. (a) The dilution effect of the shares outstanding and available for issuance pursuant to all plans, plus any new share requests is greater than 10% for a Large-Capitalization Company, 15% for a Small-Capitalization Company or 20% for a Micro-Capitalization Company; and (b) there were no circumstances specific to the company or the plans that lead FMR to conclude that the level of dilution in the plan or the amendments is acceptable.</R>

<R> 2. In the case of stock option plans, (a) the offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus; (b) the plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options; or (c) the board/committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past two years without shareholder approval.</R>

<R> 3. In the case of stock awards, the restriction period is less than three years for non-performance-based awards, and less than one year for performance-based awards.</R>

<R> 4. The plan includes an Evergreen Provision.</R>

<R> 5. The plan provides for the acceleration of vesting of equity awards even though an actual change in control may not occur.</R>

<R> FMR will consider approving an equity award plan or an amendment to authorize additional shares under such plan if, without complying with the guidelines immediately above, the following two conditions are met:</R>

<R> 1. The shares are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors; and</R>

<R> 2. The shares are limited to 5% (Large-Capitalization Company) and 10% (Small- or Micro-Capitalization Company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> B. Equity Exchanges and Repricing</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of a management proposal to exchange, reprice or tender for cash, outstanding options if the proposed exchange, repricing, or tender offer is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:</R>

<R> 1. Whether the proposal excludes senior management and directors;</R>

<R> 2. Whether the exchange or repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable pricing model;</R>

<R> 3. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 4. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and</R>

<R> 5. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether an exchange or repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

<R> C. Employee Stock Purchase Plans</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of employee stock purchase plans if the minimum stock purchase price is equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value and the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, FMR may permit a lower minimum stock purchase price equal to the prevailing "best practices" in the relevant non-U.S. market, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.</R>

<R> D. Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. FMR will generally vote against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.</R>

<R> E. Executive Compensation</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans if such proposals are inconsistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.</R>

<R> F. Bonus Plans and Tax Deductibility Proposals</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of cash and stock incentive plans that are submitted for shareholder approval in order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that the plan includes well defined and appropriate performance criteria, and with respect to any cash component, that the maximum award per participant is clearly stated and is not unreasonable or excessive.</R>

<R>V. Anti-Takeover Provisions</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against a proposal to adopt or approve the adoption of an Anti-Takeover Provision unless:</R>

<R> A. The Poison Pill includes the following features:</R>

<R> 1. A Sunset Provision of no greater than five years;</R>

<R> 2. Linked to a business strategy that is expected to result in greater value for the shareholders;</R>

<R> 3. Requires shareholder approval to be reinstated upon expiration or if amended;</R>

<R> 4. Contains a Permitted Bid Feature; and</R>

<R> 5. Allows the Fidelity Funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.</R>

<R> B. An Anti-Greenmail proposal that does not include other Anti-Takeover Provisions; or</R>

<R> C. It is a fair price amendment that considers a two-year price history or less.</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to eliminate Anti-Takeover Provisions. In the case of proposals to declassify a board of directors, FMR will generally vote against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statutes include a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.</R>

<R>VI. Capital Structure/Incorporation</R>

<R> A. Increases in Common Stock</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against a provision to increase a company's common stock if such increase will result in a total number of authorized shares greater than three times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares, including stock options, except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase that will result in a total number of authorized shares up to five times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares is generally acceptable.</R>

<R> B. New Classes of Shares</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against the introduction of new classes of stock with differential voting rights.</R>

<R> C. Cumulative Voting Rights</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against the introduction and in favor of the elimination of cumulative voting rights.</R>

<R> D. Acquisition or Business Combination Statutes</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to opt out of the control shares acquisition or business combination statutes.</R>

<R> E. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country</R>

<R> FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and vote in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under United States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.</R>

<R>VII. Shares of Investment Companies</R>

<R> A. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying Fidelity Fund with public shareholders, an exchange traded fund (ETF), or non-affiliated fund, FMR will vote in the same proportion as all other voting shareholders of such underlying fund or class ("echo voting").

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class of the fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute direct or indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

The Rule 12b-1 Plan adopted for Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C of the fund is described in the prospectus for that class.

The table below shows the distribution and service fees paid for Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C of the fund for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010.

<R>** This amount is retained by FDC for use in its capacity as distributor.</R>

Under the Institutional Class Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Institutional Class Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Institutional Class shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Institutional Class Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Institutional Class shares.

Under each Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by each Plan. Each Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares and/or shareholder support services, including payments of significant amounts made to intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares.

Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the applicable class of the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Institutional Class Plan does not authorize payments by Institutional Class of the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of class shares, additional sales of class shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

Each Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C Plan does not provide for specific payments by the applicable class of any of the expenses of FDC, or obligate FDC or FMR to perform any specific type or level of distribution activities or incur any specific level of expense in connection with distribution activities.

In addition to the distribution and/or service fees paid by FDC to intermediaries, including affiliates of FDC, shown in the table above, FDC or an affiliate may compensate intermediaries that distribute and/or service the Advisor funds and the Advisor classes of shares. A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors may include, without limitation, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of assets or sales of shares, the placing of the fund on a preferred or recommended fund list, access to an intermediary's personnel, and other factors. The total amount paid to all intermediaries in the aggregate currently will not exceed 0.05% of the total assets of the Advisor funds and the Advisor classes of shares on an annual basis. In addition to such payments, FDC or an affiliate may offer other incentives such as sponsorship of educational or client seminars relating to current products and issues, assistance in training and educating the intermediaries' personnel, payments or reimbursements for travel and related expenses associated with due diligence trips that an intermediary may undertake in order to explore possible business relationships with affiliates of FDC, and/or payments of costs and expenses associated with attendance at seminars, including travel, lodging, entertainment, and meals. FDC anticipates that payments will be made to over a hundred intermediaries, including some of the largest broker-dealers and other financial firms, and certain of the payments described above may be significant to an intermediary. As permitted by SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules and other applicable laws and regulations, FDC or an affiliate may pay or allow other incentives or payments to intermediaries.

The fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to certain intermediaries (who may be affiliated with the transfer agent) for performing recordkeeping and other services. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in this SAI for more information.

If you have purchased shares of the fund through an investment professional, please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

Any of the payments described in this section may represent a premium over payments made by other fund families. Investment professionals may have an added incentive to sell or recommend a fund or a share class over others offered by competing fund families.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), which is located at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides transfer agency services for each class of the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-transfer agent agreement with FIIOC, an affiliate of FMR, which is located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FIIOC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services for each class of the fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fee is billed monthly on a pro rata basis at one-twelfth of the applicable annual rate as of the end of each calendar month. The asset-based fee is calculated and paid monthly on the basis of each class's average daily net assets. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

FIIOC also may collect fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, Citibank receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate, and in each Advisor Freedom Fund, a fund of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's or Advisor Freedom Fund's assets that is invested in the fund.

FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

Many fund shares are owned by intermediaries for the benefit of their customers. Since a fund often does not maintain an account for shareholders in those instances, some or all of the recordkeeping and/or administrative services for these accounts may be performed by intermediaries.

FIIOC or an affiliate may make payments out of its own resources to intermediaries (including affiliates of FIIOC) for recordkeeping services.

Retirement plans may also hold fund shares in the name of the plan or its trustee, rather than the plan participant. In situations where FIIOC or an affiliate does not provide recordkeeping services, plan recordkeepers, who may have affiliated financial intermediaries who sell shares of the fund, may, upon direction, be paid for providing recordkeeping services to plan participants. Payments may also be made, upon direction, for other plan expenses. FIIOC may also pay an affiliate for providing services that otherwise would have been performed by FIIOC.

FIIOC or an affiliate may make networking payments out of its own resources to intermediaries who perform transactions for the fund through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC). NSCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, provides centralized clearance, settlement, and information services for mutual funds and other financial services companies.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with Citibank. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-service agent agreement with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FSC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends for each class of the fund and maintaining the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and receives all related pricing and bookkeeping fees paid to Citibank.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0259% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0156% of average net assets between $500 million and $3.5 billion, 0.0041% of average net assets between $3.5 billion and $25 billion, and 0.0019% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion.

<R>For the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, 2009, and February 29, 2008, the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees of $299,623, $301,003, and $306,618, respectively.</R>

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity California Municipal Trust, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated April 28, 1983. On August 15, 2005, Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund changed its name from Spartan® California Municipal Income Fund to Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund. Currently, there are two funds offered in the trust: Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund and Fidelity California Short-Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund, except that liabilities and expenses may be allocated to a particular class. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds or classes.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote. Claims asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class of shares to certain liabilities.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or, for Class A, Class T, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

<R>Custodian. Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. From time to time, subject to approval by a fund's Treasurer, the fund may enter into escrow arrangements with other banks if necessary to participate in certain investment offerings.</R>

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

<R>Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 125 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts, independent registered public accounting firm, examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.</R>

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, and report of the independent registered public accounting firm, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference. Total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table may differ from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights because total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table include any acquired fund fees and expenses, whereas the ratios of expenses in the financial highlights do not. Acquired funds include other investment companies (such as central funds or other underlying funds) in which the fund has invested, if and to the extent it is permitted to do so. Total annual operating expenses in the prospectus fee table and the financial highlights do not include any expenses associated with investments in certain structured or synthetic products that may rely on the exception from the definition of "investment company" provided by section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act.

FUND HOLDINGS INFORMATION

The fund views holdings information as sensitive and limits its dissemination. The Board authorized FMR to establish and administer guidelines for the dissemination of fund holdings information, which may be amended at any time without prior notice. FMR's Disclosure Policy Committee (comprising executive officers of FMR) evaluates disclosure policy with the goal of serving the fund's best interests by striking an appropriate balance between providing information about the fund's portfolio and protecting the fund from potentially harmful disclosure. The Board reviews the administration and modification of these guidelines and receives reports from the fund's chief compliance officer periodically.

The fund will provide a full list of holdings monthly on www.advisor.fidelity.com 30 days after the month-end (excluding high income security holdings, which generally will be presented collectively monthly and included in a list of full holdings 60 days after its fiscal quarter-end).

This information will be available on the web site until updated for the next applicable period.

The fund may also from time to time provide or make available to the Board or third parties upon request specific fund level performance attribution information and statistics. Third parties may include fund shareholders or prospective fund shareholders, members of the press, consultants, and ratings and ranking organizations.

The Use of Holdings In Connection With Fund Operations. Material non-public holdings information may be provided as part of the investment activities of the fund to: entities which, by explicit agreement or by virtue of their respective duties to the fund, are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed; other parties if legally required; or persons FMR believes will not misuse the disclosed information. These entities, parties, and persons include: the fund's trustees; the fund's manager, its sub-advisers and their affiliates whose access persons are subject to a code of ethics; contractors who are subject to a confidentiality agreement; the fund's auditors; the fund's custodians; proxy voting service providers; financial printers; pricing service vendors; broker-dealers in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or requests for price quotations or bids on one or more securities; securities lending agents; counsel to the fund or its Independent Trustees; regulatory authorities; stock exchanges and other listing organizations; parties to litigation; and third-parties in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding relating to a fund holding. Non-public holdings information may also be provided to an issuer regarding the number or percentage of its shares that are owned by a fund and in connection with redemptions in kind.

Other Uses Of Holdings Information. In addition, the fund may provide material non-public holdings information to (i) third-parties that calculate information derived from holdings for use by FMR or its affiliates, (ii) third parties that supply their analyses of holdings (but not the holdings themselves) to their clients (including sponsors of retirement plans or their consultants), (iii) ratings and rankings organizations, and (iv) an investment adviser, trustee, or their agents to whom holdings are disclosed for due diligence purposes or in anticipation of a merger involving the fund. Each individual request is reviewed by the Disclosure Policy Committee which must find, in its sole discretion that, based on the specific facts and circumstances, the disclosure appears unlikely to be harmful to the fund. Entities receiving this information must have in place control mechanisms to reasonably ensure or otherwise agree that, (a) the holdings information will be kept confidential, (b) no employee shall use the information to effect trading or for their personal benefit, and (c) the nature and type of information that they, in turn, may disclose to third-parties is limited. FMR relies primarily on the existence of non-disclosure agreements and/or control mechanisms when determining that disclosure is not likely to be harmful to the fund.

At this time, the entities receiving information described in the preceding paragraph are: Factset Research Systems Inc. (full or partial fund holdings daily, on the next business day); Thomson Vestek (full holdings, as of the end of the calendar quarter, 15 calendar days after the calendar quarter-end); Standard & Poor's Rating Services (full holdings weekly (generally as of the previous Friday), generally 5 business days thereafter); Moody's Investors Service (full holdings monthly, (generally as of the last Friday of each month), generally the first Friday of the following month); Anacomp Inc. (full or partial holdings daily, on the next business day); and MSCI Inc. and certain affiliates (full or partial fund holdings daily, on the next business day).

FMR, its affiliates, or the fund will not enter into any arrangements with third-parties from which they derive consideration for the disclosure of material non-public holdings information. If, in the future, FMR desired to make such an arrangement, it would seek prior Board approval and any such arrangements would be disclosed in the fund's SAI.

There can be no assurance that the fund's policies and procedures with respect to disclosure of fund portfolio holdings will prevent the misuse of such information by individuals and firms that receive such information.

Fund Summary

Fund:
Fidelity® California Short-Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days (as a % of amount redeemed)

0.50%

Annual fund operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

<R>Management fee

0.37%</R>

<R>Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees

None</R>

<R>Other expenses

0.13%</R>

<R>Total annual fund operating expenses

0.50%</R>

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

<R>1 year

$ 51</R>

<R>3 years

$ 160</R>

<R>5 years

$ 280</R>

<R>10 years

$ 628</R>

Portfolio Turnover

<R>The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 19% of the average value of its portfolio. </R>

Fund Summary - continued

Principal Investment Strategies

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade municipal debt securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.
  • Normally not investing in municipal securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax or in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to an index designed to represent Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time.
  • Normally maintaining a dollar-weighted average maturity between two and five years.
  • Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities.
  • Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
  • Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
  • Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including derivatives.

Principal Investment Risks

  • Municipal Market Volatility. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
  • Geographic Concentration. Unfavorable political or economic conditions within California can affect the credit quality of issuers located in that state.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease.
  • Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal debt securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The municipal securities in which the fund invests are normally investment-grade (those of medium and high quality). Municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes include securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to California personal income tax. FMR does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax or in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

FMR uses a California bond index as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments with a certain maturity range. This index, a market value-weighted index of California investment-grade Non-Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) fixed-rate municipal bonds with a certain maturity range, is designed to represent FMR's view of how the fund's competitive universe will perform over time. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. FMR may, from time to time, change the index or the characteristics of the index in response to changes in the market or the fund's peer group, for example, when the observed interest rate sensitivity or credit composition of the fund's competitive universe deviates from that of the index.

FMR considers other factors when selecting the fund's investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current valuation relative to alternatives in the market, short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and potential future valuation. In managing the fund's exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, FMR considers, among other things, the market's overall risk characteristics, the market's current pricing of those risks, information on the fund's competitive universe and internal views of potential future market conditions.

<R>In addition, the fund normally maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity between two and five years. As of February 28, 2010, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 3.5 years and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 3.1 years.</R>

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the relative value of each sector and maturity.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

FMR may engage in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives, regardless of whether the fund may own the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative, and forward-settling securities. FMR may invest a significant portion of the fund's assets in these types of investments.

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may invest the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal debt securities by investing in other funds.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or pre-refunded or escrowed bonds, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters of credit, guarantees, or insurance.

Derivatives are investments whose values are tied to an underlying asset, instrument, or index. Derivatives include futures, options, and swaps, such as interest rate swaps (exchanging a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (exchanging a floating rate for the total return of a security or index) and credit default swaps (buying or selling credit default protection).

Forward-settling securities involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities when issued, or at a predetermined price or yield. Payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates the fund's investments in California, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

Prospectus

The fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Municipal Market Volatility. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market, and market conditions may directly impact the liquidity and valuation of municipal securities.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

<R>Geographic Concentration. California is continuing to experience financial difficulties due to the ongoing economic crisis. The deterioration of California's fiscal situation increases the risk of investing in California municipal securities, including the risk of greater volatility and potential issuer default. Several rating agencies have recently downgraded California's general obligation bond rating. Further downgrades could result in a reduction in the market value of California municipal securities.</R>

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable and the security could decline significantly in value.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax and from the federal alternative minimum tax. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

Leverage Risk. Derivatives and forward-settling securities involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. A small change in the underlying asset, instrument, or index can lead to a significant loss. Assets segregated to cover these transactions may decline in value and are not available to meet redemptions. Forward-settling securities also involve the risk that a security will not be issued, delivered, or paid for when anticipated.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance, and the fund could distribute income subject to federal or California personal income tax.

Prospectus

Fundamental Investment Policies

The following policies are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:

The fund seeks a high level of current income, exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal debt securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.

The fund's NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Shareholder Information

Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares

General Information

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is the largest mutual fund company in the country, and is known as an innovative provider of high-quality financial services to individuals and institutions.

In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).

If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

You may also buy or sell shares of the fund through an investment professional. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may also apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares of the fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

You should include the following information with any order to buy, sell, or exchange shares:

  • Your name;
  • Your account number;
  • Name of fund whose shares you want to buy or sell; and
  • Dollar amount or number of shares you want to buy or sell.

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity, such as by telephone or electronically, may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted based on criteria established by Fidelity.

Excessive Trading Policy

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in the fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Prospectus

<R>Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to such transactions exceeding $5,000. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. FMR will apply these policies through a phased implementation. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.</R>

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Qualified Wrap Programs

The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

In addition to these policies, the fund imposes a short-term redemption fee on redemptions from the fund, which is discussed in "Selling Shares." As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of the fund is its NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for (i) investments through Portfolio Advisory Services, (ii) investments through a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, or (iii) fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from a Fidelity systematic withdrawal service. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when fund shares are priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Prospectus

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is its NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable.

If you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days, a 0.50% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The fees are paid to the fund, not Fidelity, and are designed to help offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term shareholder trading.

The short-term redemption fee does not apply to: (i) redemptions of shares acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions; (ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund as long as the money never leaves the fund; and (iii) redemptions in kind.

The fund also permits waivers of the short-term redemption fee for the following transactions:

  • Redemptions due to Fidelity fund small balance maintenance fees; and
  • Redemptions related to death or due to a divorce decree.

The application of short-term redemption fees and waivers may vary among intermediaries and certain intermediaries may not apply the waivers listed above. If you purchase or sell fund shares through an intermediary, you should contact your intermediary for more information on whether the short-term redemption fee will be applied to redemptions of your shares.

The fund reserves the right to modify or eliminate the short-term redemption fee or waivers at any time. Investment advisers or their affiliates may pay short-term redemption fees on behalf of investors in managed accounts. Unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets may be treated as a single account for redemption fee purposes.

Fidelity seeks to identify intermediaries that hold fund shares in omnibus accounts and will refuse their purchase orders if they do not agree to track and remit short-term redemption fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. There are no assurances that Fidelity will successfully identify all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess short-term redemption fees.

Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and submit your request to Fidelity by mail, Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:

  • When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address;
  • When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

  • If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above the required minimum to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
  • Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
  • Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
  • Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
  • If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and your redemption check remains uncashed for more than one year, the check may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.
  • Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

  • The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
  • Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
  • The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
  • Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
  • If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
  • Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The fund may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums, and may impose redemption fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Policies

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

  • Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).
  • Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in a household holds shares of the fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact Fidelity in writing at P.O. Box 770001, Cincinnati, Ohio 45277-0002.

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

You may also be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

Prospectus

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000 in shares. It is expected that fund balances will be valued after November 1 but prior to December 31 of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.

If your fund balance falls below $5,000 worth of shares for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV, and you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you after providing you with at least 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The fund normally pays capital gain distributions in April and December.

Earning Dividends

The fund processes purchase and redemption requests only on days it is open for business.

Shares generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day of purchase.

Shares generally earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day following the day of redemption.

Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for shares of the fund:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

If your dividend check(s) remains uncashed for more than six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you.

Taxes on distributions. The fund seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and California personal income tax.

<R>A portion of the dividends you receive may be subject to federal, state, or local income tax or, if applicable, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. You may also receive taxable distributions attributable to the fund's sale of municipal bonds.</R>

For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of short-term capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market discount, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while the fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

For California personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of California issuers and from interest on qualifying securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions are generally exempt from tax. Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to California personal income tax.

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as taxable income or a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax or California personal income tax purposes. A return of capital generally will not be taxable to you but will reduce the cost basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

Prospectus

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a potentially taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal and California personal income tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

<R>Jamie Pagliocco is portfolio manager of the fund, which he has managed since July 2006. He also manages other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 2001, Mr. Pagliocco has worked as a municipal bond trader, assistant fixed income head trader, and portfolio manager.</R>

The statement of additional information (SAI) provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Mr. Pagliocco.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For February 2010, the group fee rate was 0.12%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25%.</R>

<R>The total management fee for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, was 0.37% of the fund's average net assets. Because the fund's management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund's management fee may be higher or lower in the future.</R>

FMR pays FIMM, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services. FMR and its affiliates pay FRAC for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund's annual report for the fiscal period ended February 28, 2010.

Prospectus

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Effective October 25, 2005, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.35%. This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time.

<R> </R>

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

Intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) with respect to its shares that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, service-providers, and administrators, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.

Senior Securities

The fund may not issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Borrowing

The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.

Underwriting

The fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies.

Concentration

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, FMR may analyze the characteristics of a particular issuer and security and assign an industry or sector classification consistent with those characteristics in the event that the third party classification provider used by FMR does not assign a classification.

Real Estate

The fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).

Commodities

The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).

Loans

The fund may not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Diversification

In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits imposed by Subchapter M.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, Subchapter M generally requires the fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that (a) no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities of any one issuer, and (b) the fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter M) and securities of other regulated investment companies. These tax requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, FMR identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

Short Sales

The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts, options, and swaps are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

Margin Purchases

The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

Borrowing

The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of the fundamental borrowing investment limitation).

Illiquid Securities

The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

For purposes of the fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Loans

The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities.

In addition to the fund's fundamental and non-fundamental limitations discussed above:

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of purchase contracts, financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by municipalities. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market or short-term bond funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities. A municipal fund's uninvested cash may earn credits that reduce fund expenses.

Central Funds are special types of investment vehicles created by Fidelity for use by the Fidelity funds and other advisory clients. FMR uses central funds to invest in particular security types or investment disciplines, or for cash management. Central funds incur certain costs related to their investment activity (such as custodial fees and expenses), but do not pay additional management fees to Fidelity. The investment results of the portions of the fund's assets invested in the central funds will be based upon the investment results of those funds.

Dollar-Weighted Average Maturity is derived by multiplying the value of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date. When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call an issue of bonds and has established an independent escrow account that is sufficient to, and is pledged to, refund that issue, the number of days to maturity for the prerefunded bond is considered to be the number of days to the announced call date of the bonds.

Duration of a bond is a measure of the approximate sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rates. Duration is expressed in years. Except for zero coupon bonds, duration is generally shorter than maturity because much of a bond's return consists of interest paid prior to the maturity date. Bonds with longer durations usually have more interest rate sensitivity and price volatility than bonds with shorter durations. Typically, if a bond had a duration of 5 years and interest rates rose 1%, the market value of the bond would decline 5%.

<R>Futures, Options, and Swaps. The success of any strategy involving futures, options, and swaps depends on an adviser's analysis of many economic and mathematical factors and a fund's return may be higher if it never invested in such instruments. Additionally, some of the contracts discussed below are new instruments without a trading history and there can be no assurance that a market for the instruments will continue to exist. Future government legislation or regulation of derivatives could affect the fund's use of such instruments and could limit the ability of the fund to pursue its investment strategies.</R>

<R>Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index, and some are based on Eurodollars. Futures on indices and futures not calling for physical delivery of the underlying instrument will be settled through cash payments rather than through delivery of the underlying instrument. Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out by offsetting purchases or sales of futures contracts before then if a liquid market is available. The fund may realize a gain or loss by closing out its futures contracts.</R>

Positions in Eurodollar futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

<R>The purchaser or seller of a futures contract or an option for a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument or the final cash settlement price, as applicable, unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. This process of "marking to market" will be reflected in the daily calculation of open positions computed in a fund's net asset value per share (NAV). The party that has a gain is entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund. A fund is required to segregate liquid assets equivalent to the fund's outstanding obligations under the contract in excess of the initial margin and variation margin, if any.</R>

<R>There is no assurance a liquid market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. Exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or other market conditions, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its futures positions could also be impaired. These risks may be heightened for commodity futures contracts, which have historically been subject to greater price volatility than exists for instruments such as stocks and bonds.</R>

Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

<R>Futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments. In addition, the price of a commodity futures contract can reflect the storage costs associated with the purchase of the physical commodity.</R>

<R>Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific assets or securities, indices of securities or commodities prices, and futures contracts (including commodity futures contracts). The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.</R>

<R>The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if the underlying instrument's price falls substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).</R>

<R>The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if the underlying instrument's price falls. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if the underlying instrument's price does not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.</R>

The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay or receive the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

<R>If the underlying instrument's price rises, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If the underlying instrument's price remains the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If the underlying instrument's price falls, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.</R>

<R>Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument or make a net cash settlement payment, as applicable, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price increase. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument or make a net cash settlement payment, as applicable, in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.</R>

There is no assurance a liquid market will exist for any particular options contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options positions could also be impaired.

Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally are less liquid and involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are backed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Combined positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

A fund may also buy and sell options on swaps. Options on interest rate swaps are known as swaptions. An option on a swap gives a party the right to enter into a new swap agreement or to extend, shorten, cancel or modify an existing swap contract at a specific date in the future in exchange for a premium.

Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

<R>Swap Agreements. Swaps are individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. Swap agreements can vary in term like other fixed-income investments. Most swap agreements are traded over-the-counter. In a standard "swap" transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments (such as securities, commodities, or indices). The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, which is the predetermined dollar principal of the trade representing the hypothetical underlying quantity upon which payment obligations are computed.</R>

<R>Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names, including interest rate swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for a fixed rate), asset swaps (where parties combine the purchase or sale of a bond with an interest rate swap), total return swaps and credit default swaps. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield. Swap agreements are subject to liquidity risk, meaning that a fund may be unable to sell a swap contract to a third party at a favorable price</R>

<R>A total return swap is a contract whereby one party agrees to make a series of payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying such contract (which can include a security, commodity, index or baskets thereof) during the specified period. In exchange, the other party to the contract agrees to make a series of payments calculated by reference to an interest rate and/or some other agreed-upon amount (including the change in market value of other underlying assets). A fund may use total return swaps to gain exposure to an asset without owning it or taking physical custody of it. For example, a fund investing in total return commodity swaps will receive the price appreciation of a commodity, commodity index or portion thereof in exchange for payment of an agreed-upon fee.</R>

In a credit default swap, the credit default protection buyer makes periodic payments, known as premiums, to the credit default protection seller. In return the credit default protection seller will make a payment to the credit default protection buyer upon the occurrence of a specified credit event. A credit default swap can refer to a single issuer or asset, a basket of issuers or assets or index of assets, each known as the reference entity or underlying asset. A fund may act as either the buyer or the seller of a credit default swap. A fund may buy or sell credit default protection on a basket of issuers or assets, even if a number of the underlying assets referenced in the basket are lower-quality debt securities. In an unhedged credit default swap, a fund buys credit default protection on a single issuer or asset, a basket of issuers or assets or index of assets without owning the underlying asset or debt issued by the reference entity. Credit default swaps involve greater and different risks than investing directly in the referenced asset, because, in addition to market risk, credit default swaps include liquidity, counterparty and operational risk.

Credit default swaps allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer, asset or basket of assets. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. If the fund is the credit default protection seller, the fund will experience a loss if a credit event occurs and the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has deteriorated. If the fund is the credit default protection buyer, the fund will be required to pay premiums to the credit default protection seller. In the case of a physically settled credit default swap in which the fund is the protection seller, the fund must be prepared to pay par for and take possession of debt of a defaulted issuer delivered to the fund by the credit default protection buyer. Any loss would be offset by the premium payments the fund receives as the seller of credit default protection.

If the creditworthiness of the fund's swap counterparty declines, the risk that the counterparty may not perform could increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. To limit the counterparty risk involved in swap agreements, the fund will only enter into swap agreements with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or another creditworthy party. The fund may have limited ability to eliminate its exposure under a credit default swap if the credit of the reference entity or underlying asset has declined.

Swap agreements generally are entered into by "eligible participants" and in compliance with certain other criteria necessary to render them excluded from regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and, therefore not subject to regulation as futures or commodity option transactions under the CEA.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, various factors may be considered, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic. Indexed securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments that depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon rates or principal payments may change by several percentage points for every 1% interest rate change.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates; however, municipal funds currently intend to participate in this program only as borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Interfund borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.

Inverse Floaters have variable interest rates that typically move in the opposite direction from movements in prevailing short-term interest rate levels - rising when prevailing short-term interest rates fall, and falling when short-term interest rates rise. The prices of inverse floaters can be considerably more volatile than the prices of other investments with comparable maturities and/or credit quality.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by a credit rating agency registered as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) with the SEC (for example, Moody's® Investors Service, Inc.), or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Municipal Insurance. A municipal bond may be covered by insurance that guarantees the bond's scheduled payment of interest and repayment of principal. This type of insurance may be obtained by either (i) the issuer at the time the bond is issued (primary market insurance), or (ii) another party after the bond has been issued (secondary market insurance).

Both primary and secondary market insurance guarantee timely and scheduled repayment of all principal and payment of all interest on a municipal bond in the event of default by the issuer, and cover a municipal bond to its maturity, typically enhancing its credit quality and value.

Municipal bond insurance does not insure against market fluctuations or fluctuations in a fund's share price. In addition, a municipal bond insurance policy will not cover: (i) repayment of a municipal bond before maturity (redemption), (ii) prepayment or payment of an acceleration premium (except for a mandatory sinking fund redemption) or any other provision of a bond indenture that advances the maturity of the bond, or (iii) nonpayment of principal or interest caused by negligence or bankruptcy of the paying agent. A mandatory sinking fund redemption may be a provision of a municipal bond issue whereby part of the municipal bond issue may be retired before maturity.

Because a significant portion of the municipal securities issued and outstanding is insured by a small number of insurance companies, not all of which have the highest credit rating, an event involving one or more of these insurance companies could have a significant adverse effect on the value of the securities insured by that insurance company and on the municipal markets as a whole. Ratings of insured bonds reflect the credit rating of the insurer, based on the rating agency's assessment of the creditworthiness of the insurer and its ability to pay claims on its insurance policies at the time of the assessment. While the obligation of a municipal bond insurance company to pay a claim extends over the life of an insured bond, there is no assurance that municipal bond insurers will meet their claims. A higher-than-anticipated default rate on municipal bonds or in connection with other insurance the insurer provides could strain the insurer's loss reserves and adversely affect its ability to pay claims to bondholders.

FMR may decide to retain an insured municipal bond that is in default, or, in FMR's view, in significant risk of default. While a fund holds a defaulted, insured municipal bond, the fund collects interest payments from the insurer and retains the right to collect principal from the insurer when the municipal bond matures, or in connection with a mandatory sinking fund redemption.

Municipal Leases and participation interests therein may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally, a fund will not hold these obligations directly as a lessor of the property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest gives the purchaser a specified, undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the issue.

Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations. If a municipality stops making payments or transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable.

Municipal Market Disruption Risk. The value of municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced before the California legislature that would affect the state tax treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a municipal fund's holdings would be affected, and the Trustees would reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund.

Education. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds: those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans. Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal funding. Among the factors that may lead to declining or insufficient revenues are restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and federal funding, and general economic conditions. Student loan revenue bonds are generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or commissions and are backed by pools of student loans. Underlying student loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and may be subject to reimbursement by the United States Department of Education through its guaranteed student loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans made to parents or students which are supported by reserves or other forms of credit enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student repayment deferral periods of forbearance. Other risks associated with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes in federal legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency reimbursement and continued federal interest and other program subsidies currently in effect.

Electric Utilities. The electric utilities industry has been experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability and cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand, (d) the effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and licensing requirements, and other federal, state, and local regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and (f) opposition to nuclear power.

Health Care. The health care industry is subject to regulatory action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal, state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations: adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program; other state or local health care reform measures; medical and technological advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the way in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage which alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of health insurance and health care services.

Housing. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state, county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased with the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to predict the supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the proceeds of an issue or the future cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Consequently, there are risks that proceeds will exceed supply, resulting in early retirement of bonds, or that homeowner repayments will create an irregular cash flow. Many factors may affect the financing of multi-family housing projects, including acceptable completion of construction, proper management, occupancy and rent levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws and regulations.

Transportation. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of the airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who uses the airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader economic trends and is also affected by the price and availability of fuel. Toll road bonds are also affected by the cost and availability of fuel as well as toll levels, the presence of competing roads and the general economic health of an area. Fuel costs and availability also affect other transportation-related securities, as do the presence of alternate forms of transportation, such as public transportation.

Water and Sewer. Water and sewer revenue bonds are often considered to have relatively secure credit as a result of their issuer's importance, monopoly status, and generally unimpeded ability to raise rates. Despite this, lack of water supply due to insufficient rain, run-off, or snow pack is a concern that has led to past defaults. Further, public resistance to rate increases, costly environmental litigation, and Federal environmental mandates are challenges faced by issuers of water and sewer bonds.

Put Features entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Demand features and standby commitments are types of put features.

Refunding Contracts. Securities may be purchased on a when-issued basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and a purchaser to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future. A purchaser generally will not be obligated to pay the full purchase price if the issuer fails to perform under a refunding contract. Instead, refunding contracts generally provide for payment of liquidated damages to the issuer. A purchaser may secure its obligations under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a letter of credit equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the refunding contract.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their NAV. Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies may be limited by federal securities laws.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, swaps, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the issuer or the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase or hold a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, factors considered may include whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the issuer and/or entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

Standby Commitments are puts that entitle holders to same-day settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise. A fund may acquire standby commitments to enhance the liquidity of portfolio securities.

Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third party, although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a third party at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments separate from or in conjunction with the purchase of securities subject to such commitments. In the latter case, the fund would pay a higher price for the securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to maturity.

Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or other guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand. FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining whether to purchase an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate public information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's ability to honor its credit commitment.

Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the ability of issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the time the commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments are not generally marketable; and the possibility that the maturities of the underlying securities may be different from those of the commitments.

Structured Notes are derivative debt securities, the interest rate or principal of which is determined by an unrelated indicator. A structured note may be positively, negatively or both positively and negatively indexed; that is, its value or interest rate may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument increases. Similarly, its value may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument decreases. Further, the change in the principal amount payable with respect to, or the interest rate of, a structured note may be a multiple of the percentage change (positive or negative) in the value of the underlying reference instrument(s). Structured or indexed securities may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities.

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash, or to invest more than normally permitted in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.

Tender Option Bonds are created by depositing intermediate- or long-term, fixed-rate or variable rate, municipal bonds into a trust and issuing two classes of trust interests (or "certificates") with varying economic interests to investors. Holders of the first class of trust interests, or floating rate certificates, receive tax-exempt interest based on short-term rates and may tender the certificate to the trust at par. As consideration for providing the tender option, the trust sponsor (typically a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives periodic fees. The trust pays the holders of the floating rate certificates from proceeds of a remarketing of the certificates or from a draw on a liquidity facility provided by the sponsor. A fund investing in a floating rate certificate effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax-exempt rate. The floating rate certificate is typically an eligible security for money market funds. Holders of the second class of interests, sometimes called the residual income certificates, are entitled to any tax-exempt interest received by the trust that is not payable to floating rate certificate holders, and bear the risk that the underlying municipal bonds decline in value. In selecting tender option bonds, FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond deposited in the trust, the experience of the custodian, and the quality of the sponsor providing the tender option. In certain instances, the tender option may be terminated if, for example, the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.

Transfer Agent Bank Accounts. Proceeds from shareholder purchases of a fund pass through a series of demand deposit bank accounts before being held at the fund's custodian. Redemption proceeds will pass from the custodian to the shareholder through a similar series of bank accounts.

The bank accounts are registered to the transfer agent or an affiliate, who acts as an agent for the fund when opening, closing and conducting business in the bank accounts. The transfer agent or an affiliate may invest overnight balances in the accounts in repurchase agreements. Any balances that are not invested in repurchase agreements remain in the bank accounts overnight. Any risks associated with these accounts are investment risks of the fund. The fund faces the risk of loss of these balances if the bank becomes insolvent.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate or the issuer's credit quality. Some variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.

In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender options or demand features that permit the holder to tender (or put) the bonds to an institution at periodic intervals and to receive the principal amount thereof. Variable rate instruments structured in this fashion are considered to be essentially equivalent to other variable rate securities. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on these instruments is tax-exempt. Fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third party puts and participation interests in such bonds held by a bank in trust or otherwise may have similar features.

When-Issued and Forward Purchase or Sale Transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding, the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in capital gains or losses for the fund.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

<R>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CALIFORNIA</R>

<R>The following section provides only a summary of (and does not purport to explain, predict, or fully describe) the complex factors, including both economic and political conditions, affecting the financial situation in the State of California (as used in this section, the "State") and is based on information in publicly available documents. This information has not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change rapidly, substantially, and without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the State or its issuers since the date of its preparation. Any such change(s) may adversely affect the State's and applicable issuer's cash flows, expenditures, or revenues, or otherwise negatively impact the current or projected State financial situation, which in turn could hamper fund performance.</R>

<R>Further, the marketability, valuation or liquidity of State municipal securities may be negatively affected in the event that State localities or authorities default on their debt obligations or other market events arise, which in turn may negatively affect fund performance, sometimes substantially. Economic and other conditions within the State may affect the credit risk of those localities or authorities to the extent that such localities and authorities are reliant upon State appropriations. In addition, the difficulties encountered by bond insurers in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis and other credit and overall market events may continue to impact municipal securities negatively, and the full effects of these events remain uncertain.</R>

<R>Overview of State Economy. California's economy, the largest among the 50 states, has major components in high technology, trade, entertainment, agriculture, manufacturing, government, tourism, construction, and services. The relative proportion of the various components of the California economy closely resembles the make-up of the national economy, and as a result events which negatively affect such industries may have a similar impact on the State and national economies. </R>

<R>In the Governor's proposed budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year, released on January 8, 2010 (2010-11 Governor's Budget), the California Department of Finance (Department of Finance) projected that the State's economy started to recover from the recession in the latter part of calendar year 2009, but that the State would suffer continued job losses in calendar year 2010. As of December 2009, the State's unemployment rate was 12.4%, compared to 10% for the nation as a whole for the same period. </R>

<R>Current Economic Conditions. Since the start of calendar year 2008, the State has experienced the most significant economic downturn and financial pressure since the Great Depression of the 1930s. As a result of continuing weakness in the State economy, State tax revenues have declined precipitously, resulting in large budget gaps and cash shortfalls. The California Legislature and the California Governor adopted three major budget plans, covering both the 2008-09 and 2009-10 fiscal years, in less than 11 months, utilizing approximately $60 billion in budget solutions, in response to continuing deterioration in the State's fiscal condition. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget estimated a new budget gap of $19.9 billion, of which $6.6 billion is estimated to be attributable to the 2009-10 fiscal year. The major reasons for the new budget gap included continued deterioration of revenues, certain federal and state court decisions, and failure to achieve all the budget solutions and savings expected from previously-enacted budgets. The Governor proposed a large number of steps to close this gap, consisting principally of expenditure reductions, seeking additional aid from the Federal government, various shifts in funding responsibilities and new revenue sources. The Governor declared a fiscal emergency and called a special session of the Legislature beginning January 8, 2010, to address budget solutions. The special session is described in more detail below under "March 2010 Special Session."</R>

<R>The sharp drop in revenues in fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10 also resulted in a significant depletion of cash resources to pay the State's obligations. For a period of one month beginning in February 2009, the State deferred making certain payments from the State's General Fund (General Fund) in order to conserve cash resources for high priority obligations, such as education and debt service. As new budget gaps were identified, the State's cash resources became so depleted that, commencing July 2, 2009, the State Controller (Controller) began to issue registered warrants (IOUs) for certain lower priority obligations in lieu of checks which could be immediately cashed. In late August 2009, the state called all $2.6 billion of its outstanding IOUs for redemption on September 4, 2009. This was only the second issuance of IOUs by the State since the 1930s. </R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget and the Controller projected continuing cash pressures during fiscal year 2010-11. Legislation enacted during the fiscal emergency special session in early March 2010 may provide the State with authority to defer certain payments to help the State avoid cash flow difficulties during the 2010-11 fiscal year. However, absent further corrective action by the Legislature and timely adoption of a fiscal year 2010-11 budget, a cash flow shortage in fiscal year 2010-11 may require the issuance of IOUs. </R>

<R>There can be no assurances that the fiscal stress and cash pressures currently facing the state will not continue or become more difficult, or that continuing declines in State tax receipts or other impacts of the current economic situation will not further materially adversely affect the financial condition of the State. The Department of Finance projects that multi-billion dollar budget gaps will occur annually though at least fiscal year 2013-14 without further corrective action.</R>

<R> In addition, the pension funds managed by the State's principal retirement systems, the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the California State Teachers' Retirement System, have sustained significant investment losses during the economic downturn and face unfunded actuarial liabilities which will require increased contributions from the General Fund in future years. The State also has an unfunded liability relating to retirees' post-employment healthcare benefits which is estimated to be $51.8 billion as of June 30, 2009.</R>

<R> The expenditure reductions and extraordinary pressures on the State budget in recent years have resulted in continuing fiscal pressures on local governments throughout the State. Several years of budget borrowing from transportation funds have left many State and local transportation construction projects without adequate funds. The current economic slowdown and projected reductions in State aid have left many local governments with substantial budget deficits, resulting in reductions in payroll and services. </R>

<R>There is no assurance that any California issuer will make full or timely payments of principal or interest or remain solvent. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by local California issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State, and there is no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.</R>

<R>The economic forecasts of the Department of Finance, the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO), and the Controller are prepared using national economic activity forecasts; major national and California economic indicators; revenue estimates; legislative, judicial and administrative changes; and recent cash results.</R>

<R>General Risks. Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the State's economy and finances. Such factors may affect the State's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the performance of the national and State economies; (ii) the receipt of revenues below projections; (iii) a delay in or an inability of the State to implement budget solutions as a result of current or future litigation; (iv) an inability to implement all planned expenditure reductions; and (v) actions taken by the Federal government, including audits, disallowances, and changes in aid levels. </R>

<R>These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the State's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the State budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the State's and municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations. </R>

<R>Recent Events in the Municipal Bond Market. A significant number of auction rate municipal bonds have failed to attract buyers, resulting in "failed auctions" and a resetting of the periodic rates to rates in excess of those which would otherwise prevail in the short-term market. The failed auctions have affected municipal issuers throughout the United States and its territories and reflect concerns relating to bond insurers that have insured those bonds as well as changes in the operation of the auction rate itself. As a result of these failed auctions, governmental issuers are experiencing significantly higher debt service costs on auction rate bonds and bondholders are experiencing less liquidity than had been anticipated. The duration of the disruption in the auction rate securities market cannot be predicted at this time. In addition, the value of municipal securities may be difficult to measure in the current or a future market environment, as current valuation, significantly affected by external forces, may not reflect the intrinsic, underlying value of State municipal securities. Should the State or municipalities fail to sell bonds when and at the rates projected, the State could experience significantly increased costs in the General Fund and a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year. </R>

<R>Constitutional Limitations on Taxes, Other Charges and Appropriations.</R>

<R>Limitation on Property Taxes. Certain California debt obligations may be obligations of issuers which rely in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on ad valorem property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing powers of California local governments and districts are limited by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly known as "Proposition 13." Briefly, Article XIIIA limits the rate of ad valorem property taxes to 1% of full cash value of real property and generally restricts the reassessment of property to 2% per year, except upon new construction or change of ownership (subject to a number of exemptions). Taxing entities may, however, raise ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit to pay debt service on voter-approved bonded indebtedness.</R>

<R>Under Article XIIIA, the basic 1% ad valorem tax levy is applied against the assessed value of property as of the owner's date of acquisition (or as of March 1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments. This system has resulted in widely varying amounts of tax on similarly situated properties. Several lawsuits were filed challenging the acquisition-based assessment system of Proposition 13, but it was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 1992.</R>

<R>Article XIIIA prohibits local governments from raising revenues through ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit; it also requires voters of any governmental unit to give two-thirds approval to levy any "special tax" (a tax devoted to a specific purpose). </R>

<R>Limitations on Other Taxes, Fees and Charges. On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, called the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local agencies to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.</R>

<R>Article XIIIC requires that all new or increased local taxes be submitted to the voters before they become effective. Taxes for general governmental purposes require a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes require a two-thirds vote.</R>

<R>Article XIIID contains several provisions which make it generally more difficult for local agencies to levy and maintain "assessments" for municipal services and programs. Article XIIID also contains several provisions affecting "fees" and "charges", defined for purposes of Article XIIID to mean "any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed by a local government upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user fee or charge for a property related service." All new and existing property related fees and charges must conform to requirements prohibiting, among other things, fees and charges which generate revenues exceeding the funds required to provide the property related service or are used for unrelated purposes. Article XIIID contains notice, hearing and protest procedures for levying or increasing property related fees and charges, and, except for fees or charges for sewer, water and refuse collection services (or fees for electrical and gas service, which are not treated as "property related" for purposes of Article XIIID), no property related fee or charge may be imposed or increased without majority approval by the property owners subject to the fee or charge or, at the option of the local agency, two-thirds voter approval by the electorate residing in the affected area.</R>

<R>In addition to the provisions described above, Article XIIIC removes limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Consequently, local voters could, by future initiative, repeal, reduce or prohibit the future imposition or increase of any local tax, assessment, fee or charge. It is unclear how this right of local initiative may be used in cases where taxes or charges have been or will be specifically pledged to secure debt issues.</R>

<R>The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of matters, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such cases.</R>

<R>Appropriations Limits. The State and its local governments are subject to an annual "appropriations limit" imposed by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1979 and significantly amended by Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Article XIIIB prohibits the State or any covered local government from spending "appropriations subject to limitation" in excess of the appropriations limit imposed. "Appropriations subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which consist of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees, to the extent that such proceeds exceed the cost of providing the product or service, but "proceeds of taxes" exclude most State subventions to local governments. No limit is imposed on appropriations of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds.</R>

<R>Among the expenditures not included in the Article XIIIB appropriations limit are: (i) the debt service cost of bonds issued or authorized prior to January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, (ii) appropriations to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government, (iii) appropriations for certain capital outlay projects, (iv) appropriations by the State of post-1989 increases in gasoline taxes and vehicle weight fees, and (v) appropriations made in certain cases of emergency.</R>

<R>The appropriations limit for each year is adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population, and any transfers of service responsibilities between government units. The definitions for such adjustments were liberalized in 1990 to follow more closely growth in the State's economy.</R>

<R>"Excess" revenues are measured over a two year cycle. Local governments must return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. The State must refund 50% of any excess, with the other 50% paid to schools and community colleges. Local governments may by voter approval exceed their spending limits for up to four years.</R>

<R>According to the Department of Finance, the State was approximately $16.9 billion and $31.6 billion below the appropriations limit in fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively. The Department of Finance estimates that the State will be approximately $23.1 billion and $20.8 billion below its appropriations limit in fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11, respectively.</R>

<R>Because of the complex nature of Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution, the ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in their terms, and the impossibility of predicting future appropriations or changes in population and cost of living, and the probability of continuing legal challenges, it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of these Articles on California debt obligations or on the ability of the State or local governments to pay debt service on such California debt obligations. It is not possible, at the present time, to predict the outcome of any pending litigation with respect to the ultimate scope, impact or constitutionality of these Articles or the impact of any such determinations upon State agencies or local governments, or upon their ability to pay debt service on their obligations. Further initiatives or legislative changes in laws or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of the State or local issuers to repay their obligations.</R>

<R>Obligations of the State. The State Treasurer (Treasurer) is responsible for the sale of most debt obligations of the State and its various authorities. </R>

<R>General Obligation Bonds. General obligation bonds are typically authorized for infrastructure and other capital improvements at the State and local level. Under the California Constitution, debt service on outstanding general obligation bonds is the second charge to the General Fund after support of the public school system and public institutions of higher education. </R>

<R>As of February 1, 2010, the State had outstanding approximately $72.9 billion aggregate principal amount of long-term general obligation bonds, of which approximately $63.4 billion were payable primarily from the General Fund, and approximately $9.5 billion were self-liquidating bonds payable first from other special revenue funds. As of February 1, 2010, there were unused voter authorizations for the future issuance of approximately $48.8 billion of long-term general obligation bonds, some of which may be first issued as commercial paper notes. Of this unissued amount, approximately $1.3 billion is for general obligation bonds payable first from other revenue sources.</R>

<R>General Fund Debt Ratio. Between November 2006 and August 2009, voters and the legislature authorized more than $60 billion of new general obligation bonds and lease revenue bonds, which are paid solely from the General Fund. This new authorization substantially increased the current amount of such General Fund-supported debt outstanding to more than $72 billion, while still leaving authorized and unissued approximately $58 billion of such bonds as of February 1, 2010. In order to address the expenditure needs for these new authorizations, along with those which existed prior to 2006, the State increased the volume of issuance of both of these categories of bonds substantially, compared to previous years, starting in fiscal year 2007-08. </R>

<R>Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertainties about the State's budget condition caused significant disruptions in the State's bond issuance program during fiscal year 2008-09. Because of these factors, the State did not issue any new general obligation bonds between July 2008 and March 2009. In March 2009, the State issued $6.54 billion of new tax-exempt bonds, the largest new money general obligation bond issue in the State's history (excluding Economic Recovery Bonds (ERBs)). A few weeks later, the State issued $6.86 billion of federally taxable general obligation bonds in reliance on new federal rules. A significant part of the revenue raised from these offerings was used to retire internal borrowings that had been used to fund construction projects. An additional $6.546 billion of tax exempt and taxable general obligation bonds were issued in the fall of 2009, together with $1.549 billion of lease revenue bonds. </R>

<R>Although a record of approximately $20 billion of general obligation bonds was offered during calendar year 2009, the scale of issuances is projected to be much lower in calendar year 2010. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget projects issuance of approximately $13.2 billion of general obligation and lease revenue bonds in fiscal year 2010-11. </R>

<R>In light of the drop in General Fund revenues since fiscal year 2007-08, and the projections of new bond sales in the future, the ratio of debt service on general obligation, lease revenue, and Proposition 1A bonds supported by the General Fund to annual General Fund revenues and transfers (General Fund Debt Ratio) is expected to increase in future years. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget estimates that in fiscal year 2009-10, the General Fund Debt Ratio is estimated to equal approximately 6.91%. Through fiscal year 2013-14, the State's General Fund Debt Ratio is projected to peak at 10.47% in fiscal year 2012-2013, the year that the Proposition 1A bonds mature. </R>

<R>The deterioration of the State's fiscal situation increases the risk of investing in California municipal securities, including the risk of potential issuer default, and also heightens the risk that the prices of California municipal securities held by a fund will experience greater volatility. </R>

<R>Non-Recourse Obligations. Certain State agencies and authorities issue obligations secured or payable from specified revenue streams, including transportation projects, various public works projects, and public and private educational facilities. These obligations are not payable from the General Fund and carry different ratings than the State's general obligation bonds. State agencies and authorities had approximately $56 billion aggregate principal amount of revenue bonds and notes which are non-recourse to the General Fund outstanding as of December 31, 2009. None of these revenue bonds is backed by the State's faith and credit or taxing power.</R>

<R>Obligations of Other Issuers.</R>

<R>Other Issuers of California Debt Obligations. There are a number of State agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions of the State that issue municipal obligations, some of which may be conduit revenue obligations payable from payments from private borrowers. These entities are subject to various economic risks and uncertainties, and the credit quality of the securities issued by them may vary considerably from the credit quality of obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.</R>

<R>State Assistance. Property tax revenues received by local governments declined more than 50% following passage of Proposition 13. Subsequently, the Legislature enacted measures to provide for the redistribution of the General Fund's surplus to local agencies, the reallocation of certain State revenues to local agencies and the assumption of certain governmental functions by the State to assist municipal issuers to raise revenues. Total local assistance from the General Fund has been budgeted at approximately 75% of General Fund expenditures in recent years, including the effect of implementing reductions in certain aid programs. To reduce State General Fund support for school districts, the 1992-93 and 1993-94 Budget Acts caused local governments to transfer $3.9 billion of property tax revenues to school districts, representing loss of the post-Proposition 13 "bailout" aid. Local governments have in return received greater revenues and greater flexibility to operate health and welfare programs. </R>

<R>The enactment of Proposition 1A in November 2004 substantially changed the ability of the State to use local government taxing sources to aid the State budget. See "State-Local Fiscal Relations" below. </R>

<R>In 1997, a new program provided for the State to substantially take over funding for local trial courts (saving cities and counties some $400 million annually). In recent years, the State has provided over $350 million to support local law enforcement costs.</R>

<R>To the extent the State should be constrained by its Article XIIIB appropriations limit, or its obligation to conform to Proposition 98, or other fiscal considerations, the absolute level, or the rate of growth, of State assistance to local governments may continue to be reduced. Any such reductions in State aid could compound the serious fiscal constraints already experienced by many local governments, particularly counties. The recent economic slowdown in the State, with its corresponding reduction in State and local revenues, will put additional pressure on local government finances in the coming years.</R>

<R>Counties and cities may face further budgetary pressures as a result of changes in welfare and public assistance programs, which were enacted in August, 1997 in order to comply with the federal welfare reform law. Generally, counties play a large role in the new system, and are given substantial flexibility to develop and administer programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce. Counties are also given financial incentives if either at the county or Statewide level, the "Welfare-to-Work" programs exceed minimum targets; counties are also subject to financial penalties for failure to meet such targets. Counties remain responsible to provide "general assistance" for able-bodied indigents who are ineligible for other welfare programs.</R>

<R>Local governments are facing substantial increases in future pension liabilities and health care costs for retirees, and increases in current contribution rates, as a result of (a) generous new retirements benefits granted to employees during recent economic boom times, and (b) reduced earnings resulting from stock market declines.</R>

<R>Assessment Bonds. California assessment bonds may be adversely affected by a general decline in real estate values or a slowdown in real estate sales activity. In many cases, such bonds are secured by land which is undeveloped at the time of issuance but anticipated to be developed within a few years after issuance. In the event of such reduction or slowdown, such development may not occur or may be delayed, thereby increasing the risk of a default on the bonds. Because the special assessments or taxes securing these bonds are not the personal liability of the owners of the property assessed, the lien on the property is the only security for the bonds. Moreover, in most cases the issuer of these bonds is not required to make payments on the bonds in the event of delinquency in the payment of assessments or taxes, except from amounts, if any, in a reserve fund established for the bonds.</R>

<R>California Long-Term Lease Obligations. Based on a series of court decisions, certain long-term lease obligations, though typically payable from the general fund of the State or a municipality, are not considered "indebtedness" requiring voter approval. Such leases, however, are subject to "abatement" in the event the facility being leased is unavailable for beneficial use and occupancy by the municipality during the term of the lease. Abatement is not a default, and there may be no remedies available to the holders of the certificates evidencing the lease obligation in the event abatement occurs. The most common cases of abatement are failure to complete construction of the facility before the end of the period during which lease payments have been capitalized and uninsured casualty losses to the facility (e.g., due to earthquake). In the event abatement occurs with respect to a lease obligation, lease payments may be interrupted (if all available insurance proceeds and reserves are exhausted) and the certificates may not be paid when due. Although litigation is brought from time to time which challenges the constitutionality of such lease arrangements, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling in August, 1998 which reconfirmed the legality of these financing methods.</R>

<R>2009-10 Budget.</R>

<R>Background. The State's budget for fiscal year 2009-10 was enacted in an unusual sequence. The Budget Act for the 2008-09 fiscal year (2008 Budget Act) was one of the latest ever enacted, having been delayed until mid-September 2008 as the result of the difficulty balancing the budget with reduced revenues, as declining economic conditions were already evident. The 2008 Budget Act, however, was based on revenue assumptions made in the spring of 2008, which proved to be overstated by the time the actual revenue results for September 2008 and October 2008 were received. With the financial market deterioration in September 2008, which resulted in massive federal assistance and caused large drops in stock market and other asset values and reductions in consumer spending, projections of tax revenues, which are heavily dependent on capital gains taxes and sales taxes, had to be dramatically reduced. In November 2008, the Governor announced that the 2008-09 fiscal year budget would be billions of dollars out of balance, and called several special sessions of the Legislature to enact corrective actions. </R>

<R>A compromise was not reached until February 2009. At that time, the February 2009 Budget Package was enacted, which included modifications to the 2008 Budget Act and the enactment, more than four months early, of a full budget act for fiscal year 2009-10. </R>

<R>Initial 2009 Budget Act. The Initial 2009 Budget Act was adopted by the Legislature on February 19, 2009, along with a number of implementing measures, and signed by the Governor on February 20, 2009. The Initial 2009 Budget Act enacted $36 billion in solutions to what was then estimated to be a $42 billion General Fund budget gap. It also provided for five budget-related measures that would have provided an estimated $6 billion in additional budget solutions. However, these measures were all rejected by voters at a May 19, 2009 special election.</R>

<R>After adoption of the Initial 2009 Budget Act, the State continued to experience significant declines in revenues and other financial pressures. On May 14, 2009, the Governor released a revision to the Initial 2009 Budget Act. Together with subsequent revisions, the 2009-10 May Revision identified further budget shortfalls through the 2009-10 fiscal year of approximately $24 billion. </R>

<R>Amended 2009 Budget Act. On July 24, 2009, the Legislature approved amendments to the Initial 2009 Budget Act and the Governor signed the Amended 2009 Budget Act on July 28, 2009. The Amended 2009 Budget Act included another $24 billion in solutions designed to address the further deterioration of the State's fiscal situation identified in the 2009-10 May Revision. </R>

<R>Under the Amended 2009 Budget Act, General Fund revenues and transfers were projected to increase 6.4%, from a revised $84.1 billion in fiscal year 2008-09 to $89.5 billion in fiscal year 2009-10. A significant element of this increase was projected to come from certain new revenue sources implemented in February 2008. The Amended 2009 Budget Act contained General Fund appropriations of $84.6 billion in fiscal year 2009-10, compared to $91.5 billion in fiscal year 2008-09, a 7.5% decrease. The June 30, 2010 total reserve was projected to be $500 million as compared to the revised June 30, 2009 reserve of negative $4.5 billion. </R>

<R>2010-11 Proposed Governor's Budget. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget, released on January 8, 2010, revises various revenue and expenditure estimates for fiscal year 2009-10 and proposes to solve the estimated $19.9 billion budget gap by the end of fiscal year 2010-11 with a combination of spending reductions, alternative funding, fund shifts, and additional federal funds. </R>

<R>Fiscal Year 2009-10 Revised Estimates in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget revised various revenue and expenditures estimates for fiscal year 2009-10. It projects that the State will end fiscal year 2009-10 with a negative reserve of $5.4 billion, compared to the estimate of $500 million reserve at the time of the Amended 2009 Budget Act. </R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget reflects a net decrease of $2.476 billion in revenues available from prior years at the start of fiscal year 2009-10. As of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, General Fund revenues and transfers for fiscal year 2009-10 are projected to be $88.1 billion, a decrease of $1.457 billion compared with Amended 2009 Budget Act estimates. Also under the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2009-10 are projected at $86.1 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion compared with the Amended Budget Act estimates. This increase in expenditures (which is net of a decrease in Proposition 98 expenditures) is primarily attributable to increases in health and human service expenditures of $266.8 million; increases in prison expenditures of $906.6 million; and elimination of General Fund reimbursement of $81.6 million for transportation-related costs as a result of an adverse court decision which invalidated the use of Proposition 42 moneys for that purpose. </R>

<R>The 2010-11 Governor's Budget projects to end fiscal year 2010-11 with a $1.0 billion reserve. General Fund revenues and transfers for fiscal year 2010-11 are projected at $89.3 billion, and General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2010-11 are projected at $82.9 billion. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget proposes a combined total of $19.9 billion of budget solutions for fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The solutions consist of $8.5 billion in expenditure restrictions (approximately 42.7% of the total solutions), $6.9 billion in federal funds solutions (approximately 34.7% of the total solutions), $3.9 billion in alternative funding solutions (approximately 19.6% of the total solutions), and $572 million in fund shifts and other revenues (approximately 2.8% of the total solutions). </R>

<R>Expenditure restrictions include $1.07 billion of reductions relating to Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program); $1.0 billion in reductions relating to in-home supportive services; $1.63 billion in salary reductions; $2.43 billion reduction in Proposition 98 funding and $1.1 billion in reductions relating to prison and corrections expenditures. Alternative funding sources include $986 million relating to a gas tax shift; the use of $550 million in Proposition 10 moneys to offset General Fund expenditures for children's programs; and the use of $452 million of Proposition 63 moneys to offset General Fund expenditures for mental health programs. The use of Proposition 10 and Proposition 63 moneys described above require voter approval at the June 2010 primary election or November 2010 general election. </R>

<R>LAO Report. On January 12, 2010, the LAO released its analysis of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget (LAO Report). In reaching its conclusions, the LAO performs an independent assessment of the outlook for California's economy, demographics, revenues, and expenditures. The LAO Report states that the reasons for the State's current budget gap are similar to prior budget shortfalls: the inability of the State to achieve proposed budget solutions; the effects of adverse court decisions, and, for fiscal year 2010-11, the expiration of various one-time and temporary budget solutions approved in 2009. </R>

<R>The LAO Report expresses caution regarding the 2010-11 Governor's Budget due to certain risks, including the improbability of the United States Legislature agreeing to all of the Governor's requests for federal funds, and states that the California Legislature needs to operate on the assumption that federal government relief will total billions of dollars less than what the 2010-11 Governor's Budget assumes. </R>

<R>March 2010 Special Session. On January 8, 2010, concurrently with the submission of the 2010-11 Governor's Budget, the Governor declared a fiscal emergency and called the Legislature into a fiscal emergency special session. The nature of the fiscal emergency was the projected budget imbalance for fiscal year 2009-10 and the projected insufficient cash reserves and budgetary and cash deficits in fiscal year 2010-11. The purpose of the special session was for the Legislature to consider and act upon legislation included in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget that would close $8.9 billion of the budget gap. Delays in the adoption of the gap-closing proposals contained in the 2010-11 Governor's Budget until the enactment of the fiscal year 2010-11 budget would result in the loss of a portion of the proposed budgetary solutions and thereby necessitate more cuts in fiscal year 2010-11. </R>

<R>As of March 5, 2010, the Legislature had passed legislation intended to reduce the budget gap by about $3.2 billion. About $2.1 billion of the savings was intended to be obtained through expenditure reductions accomplished through appropriations targeted in fiscal year 2010-11. These intended reductions principally involved prison healthcare costs and employee compensation savings. On March 8, 2010, the Governor vetoed this $2.1 billion in savings. The remaining $1.1 billion of proposed solutions may be achieved through legislation intended to reduce the sales tax on gasoline and replace it with a higher excise tax, a portion of which would be applied to offset General Fund costs for certain transportation expenses. As of March 12, 2010, this legislation is still under consideration by the Governor, who has not indicated whether he will sign the bill. The special session ended on March 11, 2010.</R>

<R> As required by State law, the Governor will update the 2010-11 Governor's Budget by May 14, 2010. This updated budget (May Revision) will be the basis for the final negotiations between the governor and the Legislature to reach agreement on the fiscal year 2010-11 budget. </R>

<R>Balanced Budget Amendment. On March 2, 2004, voters approved Proposition 58, a constitutional amendment called the "Balanced Budget Amendment," which affects future State budgeting procedures. This amendment was linked to Proposition 57, also approved by the voters, which authorized issuance of $15 billion of long-term general obligation bonds, additionally secured by a 1/4 cent increment of the State's sales tax, which can be used to eliminate the accumulated budget deficits through June 30, 2004 and certain additional obligations incurred by the State.</R>

<R>The Balanced Budget Amendment requires the Legislature to enact a budget bill in which General Fund expenditures do not exceed estimated General Fund revenues and available reserves. After passage of the budget act, if the Governor determines that the State is facing substantial revenue shortfalls or spending deficiencies, the Governor may declare a fiscal emergency and propose legislation to address the emergency. The Legislature would be called in to special session to address this proposal. If the Legislature fails to send legislation to the Governor to address the fiscal emergency within 45 days, it will be prohibited from acting on any other bills or adjourning until fiscal legislation is passed. The Governor declared several such fiscal emergencies in 2008 and called the Legislature into various special sessions to address the recent current budget shortfall.</R>

<R>The Amendment also created a "rainy day" reserve called the Budget Stabilization Account ("BSA") in the State General Fund. Beginning in the 2006-07 fiscal year, a portion of estimated annual General Fund revenues are transferred by the Controller into the BSA not later than September 30 of each year. The transfer begins at 1% of revenues, and increases annually to reach a level of 3%. The initial transfers of $944 million and $2.045 billion took place in September 2006 and September 2007. The transfers are expected to continue until the BSA reaches a balance of the greater of $8 billion or 5% of General Fund revenue. Moneys in the BSA may be used to make up for unexpected budget imbalances, but will then have to be replenished with future transfers until the target level is reached. The annual transfer can be suspended by the Governor by an executive order issued not later than June 1 of the preceding fiscal year. The Amendment requires that one half of the BSA deposits, up to an aggregate of $5 billion, shall be transferred to the State Treasurer to provide for early redemption of the economic recovery bonds approved by Proposition 57. A total of $1.495 billion was transferred to retire economic recovery bonds in fiscal year 2006-07 ($472 million) and 2007-08 ($1.023 billion). The Governor suspended both the fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10 BSA transfers due to the condition of the General Fund, and the 2010-11 Governor's Budget assumes another suspension for fiscal year 2010-11. </R>

<R>A final provision of the Amendment prohibits future long-term bond issuances for the purpose of funding budget deficits once the bonds authorized by Proposition 57 are issued. Short term borrowing for cash flow management will continue to be authorized.</R>

<R>State-Local Fiscal Relations. In November, 2004, voters approved Proposition 1A, which made significant changes to the fiscal relationship between the State and local governments. In return for a $2.6 billion contribution to State budgets in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 fiscal years, Proposition 1A prohibits the State from accessing local governments' property tax, sales tax and vehicle license fee revenues except under limited circumstances. Starting in the 2008-09 fiscal year the State can borrow up to 8% of local property tax revenues but only if the Governor declares a fiscal hardship and with 2/3 approval of each house of the Legislature. This amount must be repaid within three years, and such borrowing can only be made twice in any ten-year period. In addition, the State cannot reduce the local sales tax rate or restrict authority of local governments to impose or change the distribution of the statewide local sales tax. Proposition 1A also strengthens requirements for the State to reimburse local governments if it enacts certain kinds of laws which mandate increased local spending. Proposition 1A is intended to produce greater certainty for local governments, but will reduce the State's options for dealing with budget shortfalls in the future.</R>

<R>The Amended 2009 Budget Act authorized the State to exercise its Proposition 1A borrowing authority. This borrowing generated $1.998 billion that will be used to offset General Fund costs for a variety of court, health, corrections, and K-12 programs. The enabling legislation also created a securitization mechanism for local governments to sell their right to receive the State's payment obligations to local government-operated joint powers agency (JPA). This JPA sold bonds in an aggregate amount of $1.895 billion in November 2009 to pay the local agencies their property tax allocations when they otherwise would receive them. Pursuant to Proposition 1A, the State is required to repay the local government borrowing (which in turn will be used to prepay the bonds of the JPA) no later than June 30, 2013. The 2010-11 Governor's Budget includes $90.8 million for the interest payments that will be incurred in fiscal year 2010-11 to be paid from the General Fund. </R>

<R>Strategic Growth Plan. In January 2006, the Governor proposed a comprehensive Strategic Growth Plan, which was to be the first installment of a 20-year investment in the State's infrastructure in the following five areas: transportation and air quality, education, flood control and water supply, public safety, and court and other public service infrastructure. Specifically, the plan laid out more than $222 billion in infrastructure investments over the first ten years, of which $68 billion would be financed with general obligation bonds, and the remainder would come from a mixture of existing and new funding sources.</R>

<R>In May 2006, the Legislature adopted a package of bills providing part of the infrastructure financing plan requested by the Governor. The main components of this package included four proposed bond measures on the November, 2006 ballot, containing the following elements: (i) $19.9 billion for transportation, air quality, port security and related projects; (ii) $10.4 billion for K-12 school construction and rehabilitation and higher education facilities; (iii) $4.1 billion for levee repair, flood control and related projects, and (iv) $2.9 billion for various housing programs. In addition, there was a constitutional amendment on the ballot to limit future diversions of sales taxes on gasoline from transportation purposes (Proposition 42). All four of these measures were approved by the voters at the November 7, 2006 election, at which time the Governor was also re-elected to a second term in office.</R>

<R>In the November 2008 general election, California voters approved new general obligation bond measures authorizing $9.95 billion for a high-speed train service linking Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, $980 million for construction and renovation of children's hospitals and $900 million for mortgage loans to California veterans. The creation of a Strategic Growth Council will be proposed in the next statewide election following the November 2008 general election to coordinate activities and investment of funds in State-owned and State-funded infrastructure. Legislation enacted on November 4, 2009 authorizes submission to the voters at the statewide election on November 2, 2010 of a ballot measure to approve the issuance of $11.14 billion in general obligation bonds for a wide variety of purposes relating to the improvement of California's water supply systems, drought relief, and groundwater protection. Additional bond measures may be included on the November 2, 2010 election ballot, but there are no bond measures on the June 8, 2010 ballot.</R>

<R>Litigation. The State is a party to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the State is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the State's recent financial statements) that, if decided against the State, might require the State to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the State to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund's investments.</R>

<R>Municipal Downgrades and Bankruptcies. Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to being downgraded, defaulting, and filing for and entering into bankruptcy during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax collections as a result of lower home values, lower sales tax revenue as a result of consumers cutting back from spending, and lower income tax revenue as a result of a high unemployment rate. In addition, as certain municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to a fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of a fund's investments. Further, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. For example, Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code provides a financially distressed municipality protection from its creditors while it develops and negotiates a plan for reorganizing its debts. "Municipality" is defined broadly by the Bankruptcy Code as a "political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a state" and may include various issuers of securities in which the fund invests. The reorganization of a municipality's debts may be accomplished by extending debt maturities, reducing the amount of principal or interest, refinancing the debt or other measures which may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of a fund's investments. </R>

<R>In addition, many municipal issuers recently either have been unable to issue bonds or access the market to sell their issues or, if able to access the market, have issued bonds at much higher rates. Should the State or municipalities fail to sell bonds when and at the rates projected, the State could experience significantly increased costs in the General Fund and a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year.</R>

<R>Bond Ratings. As of March 22, 2010, the State's general obligation bonds were rated Baa1, A- and BBB by Moody's, Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P®) and Fitch Inc. (Fitch), respectively, with each rating representing a downgrade since July 2009. In January, 2010, S&P lowered the State's general obligation bond offering rating to A- from A, indicating that the State's fiscal imbalance and impending recurrence of a cash deficiency as factors in its decision. In July 2009, Fitch lowered the State's general obligation bond rating from A- to BBB citing the State's continued inability to achieve timely agreement on budgetary and cash flow solutions to its severe financial crisis. In the same month, Moody's lowered the State's general obligation bond rating to Baa1 from A2, citing the State's use of IOUs for non-priority payments, the deadlock on the budget gap, and the risk to priority payments. </R>

<R>Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating agency and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if in the judgment of such rating agency circumstances so warrant. Lower credit ratings make it more expensive for the State to raise revenue, and in some cases, could prevent the State from issuing general obligation bonds in the quantity otherwise desired. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the marketability and market prices of the bonds held by a fund. </R>

<R>Other Considerations. The repayment of industrial development securities or single family mortgage revenue bonds secured by real property may be affected by California laws limiting foreclosure rights of creditors. Under California law, mortgage loans secured by single family homes can be prepaid at any time without penalty, except in the first five years of the loan, and subject to limits on the size of the penalty. Such prepayments may affect the ability of the issuer of single family mortgage bonds to repay the bonds. Securities backed by health care and hospital revenues may be affected by changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to health care providers under Medi-Cal (the State's Medicaid program), including risks related to the policy of awarding exclusive contracts to certain hospitals.</R>

<R>Limitations on ad valorem property taxes may particularly affect "tax allocation" bonds issued by California redevelopment agencies. Such bonds are secured solely by the increase in assessed valuation of a redevelopment project area after the start of redevelopment activity. In the event that assessed values in the redevelopment project decline (e.g., because of a major natural disaster such as an earthquake), the tax increment revenue may be insufficient to make principal and interest payments on these bonds. Both Moody's and S&P suspended ratings on California tax allocation bonds after the enactment of Articles XIIIA and XIIIB, and only resumed such ratings on a selective basis.</R>

<R>Proposition 87, approved by California voters in 1988, requires that all revenues produced by a tax rate increase go directly to the taxing entity which increased such tax rate to repay that entity's general obligation indebtedness. As a result, redevelopment agencies (which, typically, are the issuers of tax allocation securities) no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes on property in the project area are increased to repay voter-approved bonded indebtedness.</R>

<R>The effect of these various constitutional and statutory changes upon the ability of California municipal securities issuers to pay interest and principal on their obligations remains unclear. Furthermore, other measures affecting the taxing or spending authority of California or its political subdivisions may be approved or enacted in the future. Legislation has been or may be introduced which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures or which either would further limit or, alternatively, would increase the abilities of State and local governments to impose new taxes or increase existing taxes. It is not possible, at present, to predict the extent to which any such legislation will be enacted. Nor is it possible, at present, to determine the impact of any such legislation on securities held in a fund, future allocations of State revenues to local governments or the abilities of State or local governments to pay the interest on, or repay the principal of, such securities.</R>

<R>Substantially all of California is within an active geologic region subject to major seismic activity. Northern California in 1989 and Southern California in 1994 experienced major earthquakes causing billions of dollars in damages. The federal government provided more than $13 billion in aid for both earthquakes, and neither event has had any long-term negative economic impact. Any obligation in a fund could be affected by an interruption of revenues because of damaged facilities, or, consequently, income tax deductions for casualty losses or property tax assessment reductions due to earthquakes. Compensatory financial assistance could be constrained by the inability of (i) an issuer to have obtained earthquake insurance coverage rates; (ii) an insurer to perform on its contracts of insurance in the event of widespread losses; or (iii) the federal or State government to appropriate sufficient funds within their respective budget limitations.</R>

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO

<R>The following section provides only a summary of (and does not purport to explain, predict, or fully describe) the complex factors, including both economic and political conditions, affecting the financial situation in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (as used in this section, the "Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico") and is based on information in publicly available documents. This information has not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change rapidly, substantially, and without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Commonwealth or its issuers since the date of its preparation. Any such change(s) may adversely affect the Commonwealth's and applicable issuer's cash flows, expenditures, or revenues, or otherwise negatively impact the current or projected Commonwealth financial situation, which in turn could hamper fund performance.</R>

Further, the marketability, valuation or liquidity of Commonwealth municipal securities may be negatively affected in the event that Commonwealth localities or authorities default on their debt obligations or other market events arise, which in turn may negatively affect fund performance, sometimes substantially. Economic and other conditions within the Commonwealth may affect the credit risk of those localities or authorities to the extent that such localities and authorities are reliant upon Commonwealth appropriations. In addition, the difficulties encountered by bond insurers in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis and other credit and overall market events may continue to impact municipal securities negatively, and the full effects of these events remain uncertain.

Relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States. Puerto Rico's constitutional status is that of a territory of the United States (U.S.), and, pursuant to the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ultimate source of power over Puerto Rico is the U.S. Congress. The Commonwealth exercises virtually the same control over its internal affairs as do each of the 50 U.S. states over their own affairs. The Commonwealth differs from the states, however, in its relationship with the U.S. federal government. The people of Puerto Rico are citizens of the U.S. but do not vote in U.S. national elections. They are represented in Congress by a Resident Commissioner that has a voice in the House of Representatives but no vote (except in House committees and sub-committees to which he belongs). Most U.S. federal taxes, except those such as Social Security taxes, are not levied in Puerto Rico. No U.S. federal income tax is collected from Puerto Rico residents on income earned in Puerto Rico, except for certain federal employees who are subject to taxes on their salaries. Income earned by Puerto Rico residents from sources outside of Puerto Rico, however, is subject to federal income tax.

The Economy of Puerto Rico. The economy of Puerto Rico is closely linked to the U.S. economy, as most of the external factors that affect the Puerto Rico economy (other than oil prices) are determined by the policies and performance of the U.S. economy. These external factors include exports, direct investment, the amount of federal transfer payments, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, and tourist expenditures.

The Commonwealth in the past has established policies and programs directed principally at developing the manufacturing sector and expanding and modernizing the Commonwealth's infrastructure. Domestic and foreign investments have historically been stimulated by selective tax exemptions, development loans, and other financial and tax incentives. Infrastructure expansion and modernization have been to a large extent financed by bonds and notes issued by the Commonwealth, its public corporations, and municipalities. Economic progress has been aided by significant increases in the levels of education and occupational skills of the population.

Puerto Rico's economy has experienced a considerable transformation during the past 65 years, shifting from an agriculture economy to an industrial one. Virtually every sector of the economy participated in this expansion. Factors contributing to this expansion include government-sponsored economic development programs, increases in the level of federal transfer payments, and the relatively low cost of borrowing. In some years, these factors were aided by a significant rise in construction investment driven by infrastructure projects, private investment, primarily in housing, and relatively low oil prices. Nevertheless, the significant oil price increases during the past few years, the continuous contraction of the manufacturing sector, and the budgetary pressures on government finances triggered a general contraction in the economy.

The Commonwealth's economy entered a recession beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, the real gross national product (GNP) contracted by 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively. This contraction continued into fiscal year 2009, for which the Puerto Rico Planning Board (the Planning Board) expected a reduction of 3.4% in real GNP. While the trend was expected to continue in fiscal year 2010, the Planning Board announced on April 29, 2009, that the expected positive impact of certain U.S. federal and local economic stimulus measures should outweigh the expected negative impact of the Commonwealth's Fiscal Stabilization Plan (Fiscal Stabilization Plan) and revised its projections for fiscal year 2010 to reflect an increase of 0.1% in real GNP.

Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. Manufacturing and services are among its principal sectors. The manufacturing sector has undergone fundamental changes over the years as a result of increased emphasis on higher-wage, high-technology industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, computers, microprocessors, professional and scientific instruments, and certain high technology machinery and equipment. Manufacturing employment had been declining during the past decade, and the decline accelerated during fiscal years 2002 and 2003, falling 10.6% and 4.8%, respectively. Thereafter, manufacturing employment seemed to stabilize around 118,000 jobs, but the acceleration in job losses reappeared in fiscal year 2006 with the sector experiencing another significant drop of 4.0%. For fiscal years 2007 and 2008, manufacturing employment decreased by 4.2% and 3.4%, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the sector lost an average of 5,600 jobs, or 5.3% compared to the same period of the previous year. Given that this sector used to pay the highest wages, on average, in Puerto Rico, its general downturn has represented a major difficulty for restoring growth for the whole economy. There are several reasons that explain this sector's job shrinkage: the end of the phase-out of Section 936 of the Internal Revenue Code, the net loss of patents on certain pharmaceutical products, the escalation of manufacturing production costs (particularly labor and electricity), the increased use of job outsourcing, and, the effects of the global economic decline. Puerto Rico's manufacturing sector is also facing increased international competition.

The service sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, transportation, communications and public utilities, and other services, also plays a major role in the Commonwealth's economy. The sector has expanded in terms of both income and employment over the past decade. During the period between fiscal years 2004 and 2008, the gross domestic product in this sector, in nominal terms, increased at an average annual rate of 5.0%, while payroll employment in this sector increased at an average annual rate of 0.8%. In the Puerto Rico labor market, self-employment, which is not accounted for in the Payroll Survey, represents approximately 15% of total employment. Most of the self-employment is concentrated in the service and construction sectors. The development of the service sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing and construction. The service sector ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and it is the sector with the greatest employment. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2009, the average service-sector employment was 546,108, a decrease of 2.6% compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.

One factor that has promoted the development of the manufacturing and service sectors in Puerto Rico is the various local and federal tax incentives available, particularly those under Puerto Rico's Industrial Incentives Program.

General Risks. Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the Commonwealth's economy and finances. Such factors may affect the Commonwealth's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the national economy as a whole; (ii) developments with respect to the manufacturing and service sectors of the economy; (iii) developments in the world economy, and in particular commodity prices such as oil; (iv) U.S. fiscal and economic policies, including fiscal stimulus efforts in general and the amount of federal aid to the Commonwealth; (v) and the extent to which the federal stimulus legislation, and in particular the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), as enacted and implemented, provides less federal aid to the Commonwealth than anticipated in the Commonwealth's budget, and the resulting need to implement other revenue enhancements or expenditure reductions.

These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the Commonwealth's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the Commonwealth budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the Commonwealth's and municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.

Recent Events in the Municipal Bond Market. A significant number of auction rate municipal bonds have failed to attract buyers, resulting in "failed auctions" and a resetting of the periodic rates to rates in excess of those which would otherwise prevail in the short-term market. The failed auctions have affected municipal issuers throughout the U.S. and its territories and reflect concerns relating to bond insurers that have insured those bonds as well as changes in the operation of the auction rate itself. As an outcome of these failed auctions, governmental issuers are experiencing significantly higher debt service costs on auction rate bonds and bondholders are experiencing less liquidity than had been anticipated. The duration of the disruption in the auction rate securities market cannot be predicted at this time. In addition, the value of municipal securities may be difficult to measure in the current or a future market environment, as current valuation, significantly affected by external forces, may not reflect the intrinsic, underlying value of Commonwealth municipal securities. These events may adversely impact a fund's NAV.

Fiscal Year 2007. The Planning Board's reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy during fiscal year 2007 indicate that the real GNP fell by 1.9%. Nominal GNP was $58.6 billion ($44.2 billion in 2000 prices), compared with $56.7 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($45.0 billion in 2000 prices). This represents an increase in nominal (GNP) of 3.2%. Aggregate personal income was $52.3 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($43.3 billion in 2000 prices), as compared to $50.8 billion in fiscal year 2006 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita was $13,269 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,012 in 2000 prices), as compared to $12,944 in fiscal year 2006 ($11,052 in 2000 prices). (Note: Different price deflators are used for GNP and personal income statistics. The year 2000 is used as a basis for comparison because that is the year used by the U.S. Department of Commerce.)

Total employment for fiscal year 2007 averaged 1,262,900, an increase of 0.8% compared to 1,253,400 for fiscal year 2006. The driving force behind total employment was self-employment. The unemployment rate for fiscal year 2007 was 10.4%, a decrease from 11.7% for fiscal year 2006.

Fiscal Year 2008. The Planning Board's preliminary reports on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy for fiscal year 2008 indicate that real (GNP) decreased 2.5% (3.8% in current dollars) over fiscal year 2007. Nominal (GNP) was $60.8 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($43.0 billion in 2000 prices), compared to $58.6 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($44.2 billion in 2000 prices). Aggregate personal income increased from $52.3 billion in fiscal year 2007 ($43.4 billion in 2000 prices) to $56.2 billion in fiscal year 2008 ($44.8 billion in 2000 prices), and personal income per capita increased from $13,269 in fiscal year 2007 ($11,012 in 2000 prices) to $14,237 in fiscal year 2008 ($11,341 in 2000 prices). The increase in personal income in fiscal year 2008 was due in part to the tax rebate program implemented during such year.

Total employment for fiscal year 2008 averaged 1,217,500, a decrease of 3.6% compared to 1,262,900 for fiscal year 2007. At the same time, the unemployment rate for fiscal year 2008 was 11.0%, an increase from 10.4% for fiscal year 2007.

Among the variables contributing to the decrease in (GNP) were the continuous contraction of the manufacturing and construction sectors, as well as the current contraction of U.S. economic activity. Furthermore, the decline in Puerto Rico's GNP was not offset by the federal tax rebates due to the high levels of oil prices during fiscal year 2008. The persistent high price of oil and its derivatives (such as gasoline) during that period served to reduce the income available for other purchases and thereby negatively affected domestic demand. Due to the Commonwealth's dependence on oil for power generation and gasoline (in spite of its recent improvements in power-production diversification), the high level of oil prices accounted for an increased outflow of local income in fiscal year 2008. The current difficulties associated with the financial crisis resulted in lower short-term interest rates, but this did not translate into an improvement in the construction sector.

Forecast for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. The Planning Board's GNP forecast for fiscal year 2009, released in February of the same year, projected a decline of 3.4% in constant dollars, or an increase of 1.5% in current dollars. Personal income is expected to decline by 1.5% in real terms, or to increase by 2.3% in nominal terms. While a prolongation of the economic contraction through fiscal year 2010 had been expected, the Planning Board announced on April 29, 2009 that the expected positive impact of the U.S. federal and local economic stimulus measures discussed below should outweigh the expected negative impact of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan also described below, leading it to adjust its projections for fiscal year 2010.

The Planning Board projected a slight increase in GNP of 0.1% in constant dollars or 3.4% in current dollars. The major factors affecting the economy at this point are, among others, the current contraction of U.S. economic activity; the difficulties of the U.S. and local financial systems, which affect the local economy directly; the increase in federal transfers associated to the economic stimulus enacted by the U.S. government; and the local difficulties associated with the Commonwealth's prolonged fiscal crisis, including the cost reduction initiatives to be implemented as part of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan discussed below.

The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 (from July 2008 to March 2009), averaged 1,179,900, a decrease of 3.1% from the same period of the previous year. Moreover, for the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the unemployment rate was 13.0%, an increase from 11.0% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008.

Revised Economic Data for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. In August 2009, the Planning Board revised its GNP forecast for fiscal year 2009 by projecting a base-case scenario decline of 4.8% in constant dollars, a further decline of 1.4% from the projection released in February 2009. The Planning Board, however, made an upward revision to its GNP forecast for fiscal year 2010 by projecting an increase of 0.7% in constant dollars. The Planning Board's revised forecast for fiscal year 2010 takes into account the estimated effect on the Puerto Rico economy of a multi-year Fiscal Stabilization Plan and of the activity expected to be generated by $1.73 billion from ARRA and $280.3 million from the Puerto Rico government's local stimulus package. The revised forecast also considers the effect on the Puerto Rico economy of general global economic conditions, the U.S. economy, the volatility of oil prices, interest rates and the behavior of local exports, including expenditures by visitors.

Based upon 2009 forecasts, Puerto Rico expects to receive approximately $6 billion in stimulus funds from ARRA, of which approximately $3.3 billion will be used to provide consumer and tax payer relief. As of August 2009, the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority, which is responsible for the administration of ARRA in Puerto Rico, reported that approximately $609 million in ARRA funds for use in health, housing, and education related projects, among others, had been disbursed.

The government has also begun disbursing funds under the local stimulus program. Most municipalities have received disbursements earmarked to pay outstanding debts and fund local projects. The government has also disbursed funds allocated towards job training programs, a strategic water distribution project in a southern municipality and the revamping of the Puerto Rico permits system.

Total employment for fiscal year 2009 averaged 1,168,200, a decrease of 4.1% from the previous fiscal year. The unemployment rate for fiscal year 2009 was 13.4%, an increase from 11% for fiscal year 2008. For the month of October 2009, the unemployment rate was 15.7%, compared with 10.2 % for the U.S. as a whole.

Results for Fiscal Year 2009. Total preliminary Puerto Rico General Fund (General Fund) revenues for fiscal year 2009 are $7.76 billion, representing a decrease of $598.6 million, or 7.2%, from preliminary fiscal year 2008 revenues. The major changes from fiscal year 2008 were: (i) decreases in income taxes from individuals of $145.4 million and in corporate income taxes of $201.2 million; (ii) a decrease of $51.9 million in motor vehicle excise taxes; (iii) a decrease of $60.1 million in miscellaneous non-tax revenues; and (iv) a decrease of $16.1 million in sales and use tax revenues. In fiscal year 2008, General Fund revenues also included $145 million of nonrecurring revenues from the sale of certain properties owned by the Commonwealth. The continued decline in General Fund tax revenues reflects primarily the impact of the ongoing economic recession and the effect of tax benefits and incentives granted to certain individual and corporate taxpayers pursuant to previous legislation designed to stimulate economic development.

Total preliminary General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2009 of $7.76 billion exceeded the revised estimate, made in February 2009 of $7.60 billion by approximately $160 million, or 2.1%. The major changes from the revised estimate for fiscal year 2009 were: (i) an increase of $190.4 million in income taxes withheld from non-residents pursuant to certain closing agreements with the Department of the Treasury; and (ii) an increase of $59 million in income taxes from individuals.

Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2010. On July 1, 2009, the Commonwealth's governor signed a General Fund budget for fiscal year 2010 of $7.670 billion. The approved budget is approximately 19% lower than the $9.48 billion budget approved for fiscal year 2009. The approved budget is lower than the preliminary General Fund net revenues for fiscal year 2009 by $90 million, or 1.2%, and creates a payment schedule for certain Commonwealth debts or other obligations, such as borrowings from Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (GDB) that did not have a dedicated source of repayment, and accounts payable to public corporations. The General Fund budget excludes a $2.5 billion Puerto Rico Stabilization Fund (Stabilization Fund) that will facilitate the orderly implementation of certain expense reduction measures adopted by the Government of the Commonwealth pursuant to Act No. 7 of March 9, 2009, (Act No. 7). The Stabilization Fund will provide (i) $1 billion to finance the cost of transitioning public employees to non-governmental sectors and providing vouchers for re-training, self-employment, relocation and salary subsidy alternatives, and (ii) $1.5 billion to cover payroll and operating expenses that are expected to be reduced through fiscal year 2010, but whose savings will not be realized in such fiscal year. The Stabilization Fund will be funded with proceeds from the bonds issued by the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation ("COFINA" by its Spanish-language acronym).

Amendments to Act No. 7. The Commonwealth's Legislative Assembly approved a series of amendments to Act No. 7, which declared a state of fiscal emergency in Puerto Rico and adopted a comprehensive plan for fiscal and economic stabilization. The amendments do not alter the forecast of General Fund revenues for fiscal year 2010, nor do they affect the adoption of on-going expense reduction measures. Act No. 7 was amended to, among other things: (i) restore the tax-exemption enjoyed by certain securities that were affected by recent changes under the Alternative Minimum Tax; and (ii) introduce, with certain exceptions, a total cap of $40 million for granting tax credits related to Act No. 212 of 2002 (Urban Renewal projects) and establish specific limitations on the claim of such credits. These amendments also re-introduced the Sales and Use Tax Resale Exemption Certificate to retailers with a proven sales volume higher than $500,000. Retailers with a lower sales volume may enjoy the exemption subject to approval from the Secretary. The Secretary retains the right to revoke any Exemption Certificate for the period of a year if a retailer fails to comply with filing requirements related to the Sales and Use Tax. Finally, the amendments extended the temporary Commonwealth property tax to commercial real estate. The applicable Commonwealth property tax will be 0.591%. This temporary tax will be levied for three years or until an aggregated amount of $690 million is collected from this tax, whichever event occurs first.

On August 5, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico denied the preliminary injunction requested by a group of government employees and labor organizations in a complaint filed on April 13, 2009, challenging the constitutionality of Act No. 7 and seeking to enjoin its enforcement. The District Court's decision allows the Government to continue with the implementation of Act No. 7. The Government has moved to dismiss the complaint and will continue to vigorously defend the constitutionality of Act No. 7.

Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Commonwealth's current administration, which commenced on January 2, 2009, and controls the Executive and Legislative branches of government, has developed and commenced implementing a multi-year Fiscal Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction Plan that seeks to achieve fiscal balance and restore economic growth. The Fiscal Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction Plan is composed of two main elements: the Fiscal Stabilization Plan and the Economic Reconstruction Plan. The Fiscal Stabilization Plan seeks to achieve budgetary balance on or before fiscal year 2013, while addressing expected fiscal deficits in the intervening years through the implementation of a number of initiatives, including the following: (i) a $2 billion operating expense-reduction plan during fiscal year 2010, through government reorganization and reduction of operating expenses, including payroll which is the main component of government expenditures; (ii) a combination of temporary and permanent tax increases, coupled with additional tax enforcement measures; and (iii) a bond issuance program through COFINA. Before the temporary measures expire in 2013, the administration intends to design and adopt a comprehensive reform of the tax system and a long-term economic development plan to complement the economic reconstruction and supplemental stimulus initiatives described below. The proceeds expected to be obtained from the COFINA bond issuance program will be used to repay existing government debt (including debts with the GDB), finance operating expenses of the Commonwealth for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 (and for fiscal year 2012, to the extent included in the government's annual budget for such fiscal year), including costs related to the implementation of a workforce reduction plan, the funding of an economic stimulus plan, as described below, and for other purposes to address the fiscal imbalance while the Fiscal Stabilization Plan is being implemented. The Fiscal Stabilization Plan seeks to safeguard the investment grade ratings of the Commonwealth's general obligation debt and lay the foundation for sustainable economic growth. Legislation has already been enacted authorizing the implementation of all the measures in the Fiscal Stabilization Plan and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has certified projected savings of $237 million for fiscal year 2010 from implemented measures to date.

As discussed above, in order to achieve fiscal balance, the Fiscal Stabilization Plan established a government-wide operating expense-reduction program aimed at reducing annual payroll and other operating expenses by $2 billion by the end of fiscal year 2010. The Fiscal Board estimates that the annual savings from all cost reduction measures implemented or identified by the Commonwealth as of September 30, 2009, will amount to approximately $1.2 billion, which is approximately 60% of the $2 billion target. The Fiscal Board continues to seek and implement various initiatives to obtain additional savings necessary in order to achieve the $2 billion target. The additional savings are expected to come from both cost reduction and revenue generating initiatives, which include, among others, improvements in government procurement processes, reorganization and increased fiscal oversight of government agencies and improvements in tax collection and enforcement measures.

Economic Reconstruction Plan

The Commonwealth's current administration has also developed and commenced implementing a short-term economic reconstruction plan that seeks to stimulate growth in the short-term and lay the foundation for long-term economic development. The cornerstone of this plan is the implementation of U.S. federal and local economic stimulus programs. Puerto Rico will benefit from ARRA enacted by the U.S. government to stimulate the U.S. economy in the wake of the global economic downturn. Puerto Rico expects to receive approximately $5.0 billion from ARRA during the next two fiscal years, which includes tax relief, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, health care, and infrastructure, among other measures. The administration will seek to complement the U.S. federal stimulus with additional short- and medium-term supplemental stimulus measures seeking to address specific local challenges and providing investment in strategic areas. These measures include a local $500 million economic stimulus plan to supplement the federal plan. In addition, to further stimulate economic development and cope with the fiscal crisis, the administration is in the process of establishing a legal framework to authorize and promote the use of public-private partnerships to finance and develop infrastructure projects and operate and manage certain public assets.

Economic Development Program. The Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DEDC), in coordination with other government agencies, has been in the process of formulating and implementing a series of economic development initiatives with the goal of laying the groundwork for sustainable economic growth. These initiatives are centered on the dual mission of fostering multi-sector growth while reducing costs and barriers to business and investment, and are a medium-to-long-term counterpart to the Economic Reconstruction Plan and the Supplemental Stimulus Plan described above. The economic development initiatives are aimed at improving Puerto Rico's overall global relevance, competitiveness, and business environment and seek to increase private-sector capital formation and participation in the Puerto Rico economy. The administration will emphasize three main initiatives to enhance Puerto Rico's competitive position: (i) overhauling the permitting process; (ii) reforming the labor market; and (iii) reducing energy costs.

Puerto Rico Tax Incentives. Corporations operating in Puerto Rico (other than corporations organized in the U.S. with a local branch) and individuals residing in Puerto Rico generally are not subject to federal income taxes on income derived in Puerto Rico.

The Commonwealth has enacted legislation providing tax exemptions and tax incentives for businesses operating within certain sectors of the economy. Tax incentives laws have existed in Puerto Rico for over 50 years. The most recent tax incentives act, the Economic Incentives Act enacted on May 28, 2008, covers companies dedicated to manufacturing and the export of services. All eligible businesses operating under previous tax incentives laws may apply for the benefits provided by the Economic Incentives Act.

The Economic Incentives Act streamlines the process for obtaining tax incentives and provides recipients with certainty as to the amount of benefits they will receive over time. The Economic Incentives Act expands the definition of manufacturing to include cluster and supply chain concepts, addresses issues of cost competitiveness, and simplifies the applicable rules. The tax structure established by the Economic Incentives Act generally has a 4% income tax rate and a 12% withholding tax rate for royalties. An alternative structure has an 8% income tax rate and a 2% withholding tax on royalties. For existing businesses with tax rates between 2% and 4%, the Secretary of the DEDC has the discretion to grant the same tax benefits if doing so is considered to be in the best interests of Puerto Rico's economy. Income tax rates may be reduced by an additional 0.5% for projects located in low- or mid-economic development areas. Additional exceptions to the general tax structure exist for pioneering activities, local firms and small businesses. Pioneering activities may have a 1% income tax rate, or no income taxes if the research and development activity is located completely within Puerto Rico. Local firms may enjoy a tax rate as low as 3%, and for small- and medium-sized businesses the tax rate may be as low as 1%, provided such activities are eligible for certain credits provided by the Economic Incentives Act.

A variety of tax credits are available under the Economic Incentives Act, including: for the purchase of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; for job creation; for investment in research and development; for investment in energy-generation equipment; to reduce the cost of energy; to transfer technology; and for investors who acquire exempt operations in the process of shutting down. There are also investment credits for projects classified as strategic projects. Some of these credits can be carried forward and others can be sold.

Public Sector Debt

The Constitution of Puerto Rico limits the amount of general obligation debt that the Commonwealth can issue. Section 2 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth provides that direct obligations of the Commonwealth evidenced by full faith and credit bonds or notes shall not be issued if the amount of the principal of and interest on such bonds and notes and on all such bonds and notes theretofore issued that is payable in any fiscal year, together with any amount paid by the Commonwealth in the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance on account of bonds or notes guaranteed by the Commonwealth, exceed 15% of the average annual revenues raised under the provisions of Commonwealth legislation and deposited into the Treasury in the two fiscal years preceding the fiscal year of such proposed issuance. Section 2 of Article VI does not limit the amount of debt that the Commonwealth may guarantee so long as the 15% limitation is not exceeded through payments by the Commonwealth on such guaranteed debt. Annual debt service payments on bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth are not included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation. In the event any of the public corporations issuers of guaranteed bonds are unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on their guaranteed bonds, the Commonwealth would be required to make such payments under its guarantee from the General Fund, and such debt service would be included in the calculation of the 15% debt limitation. The Commonwealth's policy has been to be to maintain the level of such debt below the constitutional limitation. Debt of municipalities, other than bond anticipation notes, is supported by real and personal property taxes and municipal license taxes. Debt of public corporations, other than bond anticipation notes, is generally supported by the revenues of such corporations from rates charged for services or products.

Commonwealth Guaranteed Debt. As of December 31, 2008, $3.05 billion of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of the Public Buildings Authority were outstanding. Maximum annual debt service on these bonds is $236.2 million in fiscal year 2011, with their final maturity being July 1, 2037. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required to date for these bonds.

As of December 31, 2008, $267 million of Commonwealth guaranteed bonds of GDB were outstanding. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds. As of December 31, 2008, GDB held approximately $154.8 million of the Port of the Americas Authority's outstanding bonds, which are guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Port of the Americas Authority is authorized to issue and GDB is authorized to purchase its bonds guaranteed by the Commonwealth in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The proceeds from these bonds will be used to continue the development of the Port of the Americas. No payments under the Commonwealth guaranty have been required for these bonds.

As of December 31, 2008, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of obligations of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) guaranteed by the Commonwealth was $902.0 million. This amount consisted of $284.7 million in revenue bonds sold to the public, $312.4 million in bonds issued to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, and $304.9 million of loans by the State Revolving (Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Act) Funds for the benefit of PRASA. From January 1997 through fiscal year 2005, the Commonwealth made debt service payments under its guaranty. Beginning with the debt service payment due January 1, 2006, the Commonwealth stopped making guarantee payments on these obligations and PRASA resumed making payments on this debt. In the event PRASA is unable to make any portion of the future debt service payments on its guaranteed obligations, the Commonwealth would be required to make such payments from the General Fund under its guarantee.

Retirement Systems

Public employees of the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities are covered by five retirement systems: the Employees Retirement System, the Puerto Rico System of Annuities and Pensions for Teachers (the Teachers Retirement System), the Commonwealth Judiciary Retirement System (the Judiciary Retirement System), the Retirement System of the University of Puerto Rico (the University Retirement System), and the Employees Retirement System of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (the Electric Power Authority Retirement System).

The University Retirement System and the Electric Power Authority Retirement System apply to employees of the University of Puerto Rico and Electric Power Authority, respectively. The Commonwealth is not required to contribute directly to those two systems, although a large portion of University revenues is derived from legislative appropriations.

As of June 30, 2008, the total numbers of participants, including active participants and retirees, in the other three systems were as follows: Employees Retirement System, 278,732; Teachers Retirement System, 77,840; and Judiciary Retirement System, 695. The three systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the Commonwealth, public corporations, and municipalities) and employees, and investment income. The central government is responsible for approximately 64% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System and for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary and Teachers Retirement Systems, respectively.

According to the most recent independent actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System, as of June 30, 2007, the preliminary figures for actuarial accrued liability was $16.770 billion and the actuarial value of assets was $2.892 billion, representing a funding ratio of 17.2% and the resulting unfunded actuarial accrued liability was $13.878 billion. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8.5% per year and a salary increase of 5% per year. During fiscal year 2009, the Employees Retirement System had a cash shortfall of approximately $385 million. This cash shortfall was covered from the sale of certain investments. The Employees Retirement System's projected cash flow shortfall for fiscal year 2010 is approximately $400 million, which is expected to be covered from resources available to the Employees Retirement System, including the sale of certain investments. This negative trend is expected to continue partly due to possible future increases in the cost of living adjustments, changes in demographics of retirees and beneficiaries, and possible higher pension payments due to higher salaries of future retirees. The Employees Retirement System's cash flow shortfall for fiscal year 2010 could also be affected by the implementation of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Employees Retirement System continues to evaluate measures to improve the System's cash flow and funding ratio, as well as the potential impact of the Fiscal Stabilization Plan. The Employees Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal years 2004 through 2007 exceeded contributions and investment income for those years. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2004 was covered with a loan received from the Department of the Treasury. Balances owed to the Department of the Treasury and other pending working capital needs through fiscal year 2005 were refinanced through a repurchase agreement with a financial institution in an amount of $138 million collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. The cash shortfall for fiscal year 2006 was approximately $70 million. This shortfall was covered with a line of credit provided by a private financial institution and collateralized with the assets of the Employees Retirement System. There was no cash shortfall for fiscal year 2007 on account of the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the Puerto Rico Telephone Company stock that the Puerto Rico Telephone Authority held for the benefit of the Trust. Also with these proceeds the Employees Retirement System paid off the balances of the 2005 repurchase agreement and the 2006 line of credit used to cover the respective year's cash shortfalls. For fiscal year 2008, the Employees Retirement System experienced a positive cash flow due to various nonrecurring sources of income and a series of financings to increase the Employees Retirement System's funding ratio and reduce its unfunded pension benefit obligation. The financings involved the issuance by the Employees Retirement System of debt secured by a pledge of future employer contributions over the next 50 years. All net cash generated by these financings was deposited into the Employees Retirement System trust and invested along with its other assets. As of June 30, 2008, the Employees Retirement System had issued three series totaling approximately $2.9 billion of its Senior Pension Funding Bonds.

According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2007, the accrued actuarial liability was $7.756 billion and the value of its assets amounted to $3.163 billion, representing a funding ratio of 41%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $4.593 billion. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8%, yearly salary increases of 3.5%, employee and employer contributions of 9% and 8.5%, respectively, an inflation rate of 2.5%, and a remaining amortization period of 30 years for the unfunded accrued liability. With respect to the Teachers Retirement System, the cash shortfalls for fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008 were $65 million, $40 million, and $75 million, respectively. Investments were liquidated to cover these shortfalls. For fiscal year 2009, the Teachers Retirement System expects to have a cash shortfall of approximately $67 million. Based on the Teachers Retirement System's estimates, it could have an $81 million cash flow deficit for fiscal year 2010. This negative trend is expected to continue given that Puerto Rico Teachers Retirement System is in a relatively mature stage. Based on the current statutory funding requirements, the annual benefit payments and administrative expenses paid by the Teachers Retirement System are significantly larger than the member and employer contributions made to the Teachers Retirement System. Thus, according to the 2007 actuarial valuation, investment income must be used to cover this negative cash flow. The Teachers Retirement System is seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth's General Fund in the amount of $119 million for special benefits paid by the Teachers Retirement System to its beneficiaries through June 30, 2004, pursuant to special benefit laws enacted by the Legislative Assembly. The Teachers Retirement System's interpretation of these special benefit laws, to the effect that the Commonwealth is required to reimburse the Teachers Retirement System for such special benefits paid, is being disputed by the Office of Management and Budget. In March 2009 the Department of Education paid to the Teachers Retirement System the amount of $12 million as partial payment. The dispute for the pending amount of $107 million continues under inter-agency arbitration proceedings. The Employees Retirement System is also seeking reimbursement from the Commonwealth (in connection with other special benefits laws applicable to its beneficiaries) in the amount of $73.9 million, representing cumulative benefits paid to beneficiaries through June 30, 2005.

The market value of the investment portfolios (which excludes loans to plan members) held by the retirement plans has been materially adversely affected by the global decline in value of equity securities. This decline has had an adverse effect on the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the retirement systems.

Litigation. The Commonwealth and its officers and employees are parties to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the Commonwealth is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the Commonwealth's recent Official Statements) that, if decided against the Commonwealth, might require the Commonwealth to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund's investments.

Bond Ratings. As of December 24, 2009, the Commonwealth's General Obligation Bonds were rated Baa3 and BBB- by Moody's and S&P, respectively.

Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating agency and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if in the judgment of such rating agency circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of equity securities on a securities exchange or OTC are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Generally, compensation relating to securities traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than compensation relating to securities traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation. Compensation may also be paid in connection with principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system. Equity securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Purchases and sales of fixed-income securities are generally made with an issuer or a primary market-maker acting as principal. Although there is no stated brokerage commission paid by the fund for any fixed-income security, the price paid by the fund to an underwriter includes the disclosed underwriting fee and prices in secondary trades usually include an undisclosed dealer commission or markup reflecting the spread between the bid and ask prices of the fixed-income security.

The Trustees of the fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund. The Trustees also review the compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if it was reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

The Selection of Brokers

In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) to execute the fund's portfolio transactions, FMR considers factors deemed relevant in the context of a particular trade and in regard to FMR's overall responsibilities with respect to the fund and other investment accounts, including any instructions from the fund's portfolio manager, which may emphasize, for example, speed of execution over other factors. The factors considered will influence whether it is appropriate to execute an order using ECNs, electronic channels including algorithmic trading, or by actively working an order. Other factors deemed relevant may include, but are not limited to: price; the size and type of the transaction; the reasonableness of compensation to be paid, including spreads and commission rates; the speed and certainty of trade executions, including broker willingness to commit capital; the nature and characteristics of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold, including the degree of specialization of the broker in such markets or securities; the availability of liquidity in the security, including the liquidity and depth afforded by a market center or market-maker; the reliability of a market center or broker; the broker's overall trading relationship with FMR; the trader's assessment of whether and how closely the broker likely will follow the trader's instructions to the broker; the degree of anonymity that a particular broker or market can provide; the potential for avoiding market impact; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services, if applicable. In seeking best qualitative execution, FMR may select a broker using a trading method for which the broker may charge a higher commission than its lowest available commission rate. FMR also may select a broker that charges more than the lowest available commission rate available from another broker. For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services provided by the FCM.

The Acquisition of Brokerage and Research Products and Services

Brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) that execute transactions for the fund may receive higher compensation from the fund than other brokers might have charged the fund, in recognition of the value of the brokerage or research products and services they provide to FMR or its affiliates.

Research Products and Services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, company, municipal, sovereign (U.S. and non-U.S.), legal, or political research reports; market color; company meeting facilitation; compilation of securities prices, earnings, dividends and similar data; quotation services, data, information and other services; analytical computer software and services; and investment recommendations. FMR may request that a broker provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. Some of these products and services supplement FMR's own research activities in providing investment advice to the fund.

Execution Services. In addition, products and services may include those that assist in the execution, clearing, and settlement of securities transactions, as well as other incidental functions (including but not limited to communication services related to trade execution, order routing and algorithmic trading, post-trade matching, exchange of messages among brokers or dealers, custodians and institutions, and the use of electronic confirmation and affirmation of institutional trades).

Mixed-Use Products and Services. In addition to receiving brokerage and research products and services via written reports and computer-delivered services, such reports may also be provided by telephone and in personal meetings with securities analysts, corporate and industry spokespersons, economists, academicians and government representatives and others with relevant professional expertise. FMR and its affiliates may use commission dollars to obtain certain products or services that are not used exclusively in FMR's or its affiliates' investment decision-making process (mixed-use products or services). In those circumstances, FMR or its affiliates will make a good faith judgment to evaluate the various benefits and uses to which they intend to put the mixed-use product or service, and will pay for that portion of the mixed-use product or service that does not qualify as brokerage and research products and services with their own resources (referred to as "hard dollars").

Benefit to FMR. FMR's expenses would likely be increased if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts, or if it paid for these products or services itself. Certain of the brokerage and research products and services FMR receives from brokers are furnished by brokers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. Some of these products or services may not have an explicit cost associated with such product or service.

FMR's Decision-Making Process. Before causing the fund to pay a particular level of compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research products and services provided to FMR, viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. While FMR may take into account the brokerage and/or research products and services provided by a broker in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to any broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a specific amount of compensation or otherwise. Typically, these products and services assist FMR and its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund. Certain funds or investment accounts may use brokerage commissions to acquire brokerage and research products and services that may also benefit other funds or accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates.

Research Contracts. FMR has arrangements with certain third-party research providers and brokers through whom FMR effects fund trades, whereby FMR may pay with fund commissions or hard dollars for all or a portion of the cost of research products and services purchased from such research providers or brokers. If hard dollar payments are used, FMR may still cause the fund to pay more for execution than the lowest commission rate available from the broker providing research products and services to FMR, or that may be available from another broker. FMR views hard dollar payments for research products and services as likely to reduce the fund's total commission costs even though it is expected that in such hard dollar arrangements the commissions available for recapture and to pay fund expenses, as described below, will decrease. FMR's determination to pay for research products and services separately, rather than bundled with fund commissions, is wholly voluntary on FMR's part and may be extended to additional brokers or discontinued with any broker participating in this arrangement.

Commission Recapture

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers (who are not affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker, using a predetermined methodology, rebates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund to offset that fund's expenses, which may be paid to FMR or its affiliates. Not all brokers with whom the fund trades have agreed to participate in brokerage commission recapture.

Affiliated Transactions

FMR may place trades with certain brokers, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), with whom it is under common control provided FMR determines that these affiliates' trade execution abilities and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the fund could purchase in the underwritings.

Trade Allocation

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts (including proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed by FMR to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. In some cases adherence to these procedures could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund.

Commissions Paid

A fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. The amount of brokerage commissions paid by a fund may change from year to year because of, among other things, changing asset levels, shareholder activity, and/or portfolio turnover.

<R>For the fiscal periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 19% and 18%. </R>

<R>The following table shows the total amount of brokerage commissions paid by the fund, comprising commissions paid on securities and/or futures transactions, as applicable, for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, and February 29, 2008. The total amount of brokerage commissions paid is stated as a dollar amount and a percentage of the fund's average net assets.</R>

VALUATION

The fund's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of the fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods. If quotations are not available, debt securities are usually valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement or closing price. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

The fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

The fund, in its discretion, may determine to issue its shares in kind in exchange for securities held by the purchaser having a value, determined in accordance with the fund's policies for valuation of portfolio securities, equal to the purchase price of the fund shares issued. The fund will accept for in-kind purchases only securities or other instruments that are appropriate under its investment objective and policies. In addition, the fund generally will not accept securities of any issuer unless they are liquid, have a readily ascertainable market value, and are not subject to restrictions on resale. All dividends, distributions, and subscription or other rights associated with the securities become the property of the fund, along with the securities. Shares purchased in exchange for securities in kind generally cannot be redeemed for fifteen days following the exchange to allow time for the transfer to settle.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. To the extent that the fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund will be federally tax-exempt, provided that the fund qualifies to pay tax-exempt dividends. In order to qualify to pay tax-exempt dividends, at least 50% of the value of the fund's total assets (including uninvested assets) must consist of tax-exempt municipal securities at the close of each quarter of the fund's taxable year. Short-term capital gains are taxable at ordinary income tax rates.

Generally, the fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax and from the federal AMT. Neither FMR nor the fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued and you may need to file an amended income tax return. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the federal AMT, although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities is a tax preference item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and the amount of AMT to be paid, if any.

A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, not as capital gains.

<R>California Tax Matters. As long as the fund continues to qualify as a regulated investment company under the federal Internal Revenue Code, it will incur no California income or franchise tax liability on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. California personal income tax law provides that exempt-interest dividends paid by a regulated investment company, or series thereof, from interest on obligations that are exempt from California personal income tax are excludable from gross income. For a fund to qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends under California law, at least 50% of the value of its assets must consist of such obligations at the close of each quarter of its fiscal year. For purposes of California personal income taxation, distributions to individual shareholders derived from interest on other types of obligations and short-term capital gains will be taxed as dividends, and long-term capital gain distributions will be taxed as capital gains. California has an alternative minimum tax similar to the federal AMT described above. However, the California AMT does not include interest from private activity municipal obligations as an item of tax preference. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder in connection with the purchase of shares of a fund will not be deductible for California personal income tax purposes. Corporate taxpayers should note that dividends will not be exempt from California corporate income or franchise tax.</R>

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

<R> </R>

Tax Status of the Fund. The fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

<R>The Trustees and executive officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 188 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Mr. Curvey oversees 410 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.</R>

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The executive officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

<R>Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates ("Statement of Policy"). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.</R>

<R>In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.</R>

<R>Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Kenneth L. Wolfe serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.</R>

<R>Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds that are overseen by such other Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.</R>

<R>The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."</R>

<R>Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. Currently, the Board of Trustees has three standing committees. The members of each committee are Independent Trustees.</R>

<R>The Operations Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Wolfe currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets at least six times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the Independent Trustees. The committee considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding contracts with third parties unaffiliated with FMR, including insurance coverage and custody agreements.The committee has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. These matters include, but are not limited to, significant non-conformance with contract requirements and other significant regulatory matters and recommending to the Board of Trustees the designation of a person to serve as the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The committee (i) serves as the primary point of contact for the CCO with regard to Board-related functions; (ii) oversees the annual performance review of the CCO; (iii) makes recommendations concerning the CCO's compensation; and (iv) makes recommendations as needed in respect of the removal of the CCO. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held 22 meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Ms. Knowles currently serving as Chair. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least annually with the funds' Treasurer, with the funds' Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR LLC, and with the funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the funds and the funds' service providers (to the extent such controls impact the funds' financial statements); (ii) the funds' auditors and the annual audits of the funds' financial statements; (iii) the financial reporting processes of the funds; (iv) whistleblower reports; and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the funds and for resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the funds and any service providers consistent with the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee will also review any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies or published reports that raise material issues regarding the funds' financial statements or accounting policies. These matters may also be reviewed by the Operations Committee. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the funds. The committee will review with FMR, the funds' outside auditor, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC and, as appropriate, legal counsel the results of audits of the funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held five meetings.</R>

<R>The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Wolfe (Chair) and Gamper, and Ms. Knowles. The committee meets as called by the Chair. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of Independent Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for Independent Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for Independent Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the funds and the Independent Trustees. On behalf of the Independent Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the Independent Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to Independent Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the Independent Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with Independent Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to fund governance. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the funds' or the Board of Trustees' policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of Independent Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of Independent Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify Independent Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee's scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the funds' expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting Independent Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an interested person of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings during the year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the committee held six meetings.</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR LLC, as successor by merger to FMR Corp., is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited (FMR H.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), and Fidelity Research & Analysis Company (FRAC). The voting common shares of FMR LLC are divided into two series. Series B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d and Abigail P. Johnson family, directly or through trust and limited liability companies, and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common shares. Series A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Series B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Series B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting securities of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR LLC and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

FIL Limited, a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of FIL Investment Advisors (FIIA) and FIL Investment Advisors (U.K.) Ltd. (FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Abigail P. Johnson, other Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL Limited. At present, the primary business activities of FIL Limited and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

FMR, FIMM, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., FMR Japan, FRAC, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L (the Investment Advisers), FDC, and the fund have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, has overall responsibility for directing the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are interested persons of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer agent and pricing and bookkeeping agent, the fund pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and Independent Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

<R>The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $1,271 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for February 2010 - was 0.1163%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $1,271 billion.</R>

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.25%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for February 2010, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

<R>Fund

Group Fee Rate

 

Individual Fund Fee Rate

 

Management Fee Rate</R>

<R>California Short-Intermediate Tax-Free Bond

0.1163%

+

0.2500%

=

0.3663%</R>

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

<R>For the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, and February 29, 2008, the fund paid FMR management fees of $1,770,970, $880,893, and $433,202, respectively.</R>

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its returns and yield.

Sub-Adviser - FIMM. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM pursuant to which FIMM has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for the fund. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, FMR, and not the fund, pays FIMM's fees.

Sub-Advisers - FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L. On behalf of the fund, FIMM has entered into a master international fixed-income research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of the fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into a fixed-income sub-research agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements, FIMM may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States. In particular, FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Under the terms of the master international fixed-income research agreement, FIMM, and not the fund, pays FIIA. Under the terms of the fixed-income sub-research agreement, FIIA, and not the fund, pays FIIA(U.K.)L.

Sub-Adviser - FRAC. On behalf of the fund, FMR, FIMM, and FRAC have entered into a research agreement. Pursuant to the research agreement, FRAC provides investment advice and research services on domestic issuers. Under the terms of the research agreement, FMR, and FIMM, and not the fund, agree, in the aggregate, to pay FRAC.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States (non-discretionary services) and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority and the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund (discretionary services). FMR, and not the fund, pays the sub-advisers.

<R>Jamie Pagliocco is the portfolio manager of the fund and receives compensation for his services. As of February 28, 2010, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.</R>

The portfolio manager's base salary is determined by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR municipal bond funds and accounts. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to his tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) and the average asset size of those fund(s) and account(s) over his tenure. Each component is calculated separately over the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with his tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a benchmark index. A smaller, subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of the fund is based on the fund's pre-tax investment performance measured against the Barclays Capital California 1-7 Year Non-Amt Municipal Bond Index. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.

The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. Although investors in the fund may invest through either tax-deferred accounts or taxable accounts, the portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax performance of the fund, rather than its after-tax performance. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to assess the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, a fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR or an affiliate. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by a fund. Securities selected for other funds or accounts may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Portfolio managers may be permitted to invest in the funds they manage, even if a fund is closed to new investors. Trading in personal accounts, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, is restricted by a fund's Code of Ethics.

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the Independent Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)

I. General Principles

A. Voting of shares will be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of Fidelity Fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company will generally be voted in a manner consistent with the Guidelines; and (ii) voting will be done without regard to any other Fidelity companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.

B. FMR Investment Proxy Research votes proxies. In the event an Investment Proxy Research employee has a personal conflict with a portfolio company or an employee or director of a portfolio company, that employee will withdraw from making any proxy voting decisions with respect to that portfolio company. A conflict of interest arises when there are factors that may prompt one to question whether a Fidelity employee is acting solely in the best interests of Fidelity and its customers. Employees are expected to avoid situations that could present even the appearance of a conflict between their interests and the interests of Fidelity and its customers.

C. Except as set forth herein, FMR will generally vote in favor of routine management proposals.

D. Non-routine proposals will generally be voted in accordance with the Guidelines.

E. Non-routine proposals not covered by the Guidelines or involving other special circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with input from the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, as applicable, subject to review by an attorney within FMR's General Counsel's office and a member of senior management within FMR Investment Proxy Research. A significant pattern of such proposals or other special circumstances will be referred to the appropriate Fidelity Fund Board Committee or its designee.

F. FMR will vote on shareholder proposals not specifically addressed by the Guidelines based on an evaluation of a proposal's likelihood to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value. Where information is not readily available to analyze the economic impact of the proposal, FMR will generally abstain.

G. Many Fidelity Funds invest in voting securities issued by companies that are domiciled outside the United States and are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange. Corporate governance standards, legal or regulatory requirements and disclosure practices in foreign countries can differ from those in the United States. When voting proxies relating to non-U.S. securities, FMR will generally evaluate proposals in the context of the Guidelines, but FMR may, where applicable and feasible, take into consideration differing laws and regulations in the relevant foreign market in determining how to vote shares.

H. In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, shareholders voting shares of a portfolio company may be restricted from trading the shares for a period of time around the shareholder meeting date. Because such trading restrictions can hinder portfolio management and could result in a loss of liquidity for a fund, FMR will generally not vote proxies in circumstances where such restrictions apply. In addition, certain non-U.S. jurisdictions require voting shareholders to disclose current share ownership on a fund-by-fund basis. When such disclosure requirements apply, FMR will generally not vote proxies in order to safeguard fund holdings information.

I. Where a management-sponsored proposal is inconsistent with the Guidelines, FMR may receive a company's commitment to modify the proposal or its practice to conform to the Guidelines, and FMR will generally support management based on this commitment. If a company subsequently does not abide by its commitment, FMR will generally withhold authority for the election of directors at the next election.

II. Definitions (as used in this document)

A. Anti-Takeover Provision - includes fair price amendments; classified boards; "blank check" preferred stock; Golden Parachutes; supermajority provisions; Poison Pills; restricting the right to call special meetings; and any other provision that eliminates or limits shareholder rights.

B. Golden Parachute - Employment contracts, agreements, or policies that include an excise tax gross-up provision; single trigger for cash incentives; or may result in a lump sum payment of cash and acceleration of equity that may total more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of a termination following a change in control.

C. Greenmail - payment of a premium to repurchase shares from a shareholder seeking to take over a company through a proxy contest or other means.

D. Sunset Provision - a condition in a charter or plan that specifies an expiration date.

E. Permitted Bid Feature - a provision suspending the application of a Poison Pill, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer for all outstanding shares.

F. Poison Pill - a strategy employed by a potential take-over/target company to make its stock less attractive to an acquirer. Poison Pills are generally designed to dilute the acquirer's ownership and value in the event of a take-over.

G. Large-Capitalization Company - a company included in the Russell 1000® stock index.

H. Small-Capitalization Company - a company not included in the Russell 1000 stock index that is not a Micro-Capitalization Company.

I. Micro-Capitalization Company - a company with a market capitalization under US $300 million.

<R> J. Evergreen Provision - a feature which provides for an automatic increase in the shares available for grant under an equity award plan on a regular basis.</R>

III. Directors

A. Incumbent Directors

FMR will generally vote in favor of incumbent and nominee directors except where one or more such directors clearly appear to have failed to exercise reasonable judgment.

FMR will also generally withhold authority for the election of all directors or directors on responsible committees if:

1. An Anti-Takeover Provision was introduced, an Anti-Takeover Provision was extended, or a new Anti-Takeover Provision was adopted upon the expiration of an existing Anti-Takeover Provision, without shareholder approval except as set forth below.

With respect to Poison Pills, however, FMR will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if all of the following conditions are met when a Poison Pill is introduced, extended, or adopted:

a. The Poison Pill includes a Sunset Provision of less than five years;

b. The Poison Pill includes a Permitted Bid Feature;

c. The Poison Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; and

d. Shareholder approval is required to reinstate the Poison Pill upon expiration.

FMR will also consider not withholding authority on the election of directors when one or more of the conditions above are not met if a board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding above conditions noted a. and b. to an existing Poison Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, FMR will withhold authority on the election of directors.

2. The company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend the Poison Pill to allow Fidelity to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.

3. Within the last year and without shareholder approval, a company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options, exchanged outstanding options for equity, or tendered cash for outstanding options.

<R> 4. The company failed to act in the best interests of shareholders when approving executive compensation, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company used an independent compensation committee; (ii) whether the compensation committee engaged independent compensation consultants; (iii) whether the company has admitted to or settled a regulatory proceeding relating to options backdating; (iv) whether the compensation committee has lapsed or waived equity vesting restrictions; and (v) whether the company has adopted or extended a Golden Parachute without shareholder approval.</R>

5. To gain FMR's support on a proposal, the company made a commitment to modify a proposal or practice to conform to the Guidelines and the company has failed to act on that commitment.

6. The director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the board or its committees on which the director served during the company's prior fiscal year, absent extenuating circumstances.

<R> 7. The board is not composed of a majority of independent directors.</R>

B. Indemnification

FMR will generally vote in favor of charter and by-law amendments expanding the indemnification of directors and/or limiting their liability for breaches of care unless FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by Anti-Takeover Provisions.

C. Independent Chairperson

FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of a non-executive or independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.

D. Majority Director Elections

FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals calling for directors to be elected by an affirmative majority of votes cast in a board election, provided that the proposal allows for plurality voting standard in the case of contested elections (i.e., where there are more nominees than board seats). FMR may consider voting against such shareholder proposals where a company's board has adopted an alternative measure, such as a director resignation policy, that provides a meaningful alternative to the majority voting standard and appropriately addresses situations where an incumbent director fails to receive the support of a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election.

IV. Compensation

A. Equity award plans (including stock options, restricted stock awards, and other stock awards).

FMR will generally vote against equity award plans or amendments to authorize additional shares under such plans if:

1. (a) The dilution effect of the shares outstanding and available for issuance pursuant to all plans, plus any new share requests is greater than 10% for a Large-Capitalization Company, 15% for a Small-Capitalization Company or 20% for a Micro-Capitalization Company; and (b) there were no circumstances specific to the company or the plans that lead FMR to conclude that the level of dilution in the plan or the amendments is acceptable.

<R> 2. In the case of stock option plans, (a) the offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus; (b) the plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options; or (c) the board/committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past two years without shareholder approval.</R>

<R> 3. In the case of stock awards, the restriction period is less than three years for non-performance-based awards, and less than one year for performance-based awards.</R>

<R> 4. The plan includes an Evergreen Provision.</R>

<R> 5. The plan provides for the acceleration of vesting of equity awards even though an actual change in control may not occur.</R>

FMR will consider approving an equity award plan or an amendment to authorize additional shares under such plan if, without complying with the guidelines immediately above, the following two conditions are met:

1. The shares are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors; and

2. The shares are limited to 5% (Large-Capitalization Company) and 10% (Small- or Micro-Capitalization Company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

B. Equity Exchanges and Repricing

FMR will generally vote in favor of a management proposal to exchange, reprice or tender for cash, outstanding options if the proposed exchange, repricing, or tender offer is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:

1. Whether the proposal excludes senior management and directors;

2. Whether the exchange or repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable pricing model;

3. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;

4. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and

5. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether an exchange or repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

C. Employee Stock Purchase Plans

<R> FMR will generally vote in favor of employee stock purchase plans if the minimum stock purchase price is equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value and the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, FMR may permit a lower minimum stock purchase price equal to the prevailing "best practices" in the relevant non-U.S. market, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.</R>

D. Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)

FMR will generally vote in favor of non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. FMR will generally vote against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.

E. Executive Compensation

FMR will generally vote against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans if such proposals are inconsistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.

F. Bonus Plans and Tax Deductibility Proposals

FMR will generally vote in favor of cash and stock incentive plans that are submitted for shareholder approval in order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that the plan includes well defined and appropriate performance criteria, and with respect to any cash component, that the maximum award per participant is clearly stated and is not unreasonable or excessive.

V. Anti-Takeover Provisions

FMR will generally vote against a proposal to adopt or approve the adoption of an Anti-Takeover Provision unless:

A. The Poison Pill includes the following features:

1. A Sunset Provision of no greater than five years;

2. Linked to a business strategy that is expected to result in greater value for the shareholders;

3. Requires shareholder approval to be reinstated upon expiration or if amended;

4. Contains a Permitted Bid Feature; and

5. Allows the Fidelity Funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities.

B. An Anti-Greenmail proposal that does not include other Anti-Takeover Provisions; or

C. It is a fair price amendment that considers a two-year price history or less.

FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to eliminate Anti-Takeover Provisions. In the case of proposals to declassify a board of directors, FMR will generally vote against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statutes include a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.

VI. Capital Structure/Incorporation

A. Increases in Common Stock

FMR will generally vote against a provision to increase a company's common stock if such increase will result in a total number of authorized shares greater than three times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares, including stock options, except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase that will result in a total number of authorized shares up to five times the current number of outstanding and scheduled to be issued shares is generally acceptable.

B. New Classes of Shares

FMR will generally vote against the introduction of new classes of stock with differential voting rights.

C. Cumulative Voting Rights

FMR will generally vote against the introduction and in favor of the elimination of cumulative voting rights.

D. Acquisition or Business Combination Statutes

FMR will generally vote in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to opt out of the control shares acquisition or business combination statutes.

E. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country

FMR will generally vote against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and vote in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under United States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.

VII. Shares of Investment Companies

<R> A. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying Fidelity Fund with public shareholders, an exchange traded fund (ETF), or non-affiliated fund, FMR will vote in the same proportion as all other voting shareholders of such underlying fund or class ("echo voting"). FMR may choose not to vote if "echo voting" is not operationally feasible.</R>

B. Certain Fidelity Funds may invest in shares of underlying Fidelity Funds which are held exclusively by Fidelity Funds or accounts managed by an FMR or an affiliate. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals recommended by the underlying funds' Board of Trustees.

VIII. Other

A. Voting Process

FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to adopt confidential voting and independent vote tabulation practices.

B. Regulated Industries

Voting of shares in securities of any regulated industry (e.g. U.S. banking) organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the industry's regulator (e.g. the Federal Reserve Board) for a determination under applicable law (e.g. federal banking law) that no fund or group of funds has acquired control of such organization.

To view a fund's proxy voting record for the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, visit www.fidelity.com/proxyvotingresults or visit the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan with respect to shares of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows shares of the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.

Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by shares of the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of shares of the fund, additional sales of shares of the fund or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

FDC or an affiliate may compensate, or upon direction make payments for certain retirement plan expenses to, intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (including affiliates of FDC). A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors may include, without limitation, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of assets or sales of shares, and other factors. In addition to such payments, FDC or an affiliate may offer other incentives such as sponsorship of educational or client seminars relating to current products and issues, payments or reimbursements for travel and related expenses associated with due diligence trips that an intermediary may undertake in order to explore possible business relationships with affiliates of FDC, and/or payments of costs and expenses associated with attendance at seminars, including travel, lodging, entertainment, and meals. Certain of the payments described above may be significant to an intermediary. As permitted by SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules and other applicable laws and regulations, FDC or an affiliate may pay or allow other incentives or payments to intermediaries.

The fund's transfer agent or an affiliate may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to certain intermediaries (who may be affiliated with the transfer agent) for providing recordkeeping and administrative services to plan participants or for providing other services to retirement plans. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in this SAI for more information.

FDC or an affiliate may also make payments to banks, broker-dealers and other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FDC) for distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services. If you have purchased shares of the fund through an investment professional, please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

Any of the payments described in this section may represent a premium over payments made by other fund families. Investment professionals may have an added incentive to sell or recommend a fund over others offered by competing fund families, or retirement plan sponsors may take these payments into account when deciding whether to include a fund as a plan investment option.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), which is located at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides transfer agency services for the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-transfer agent agreement with FIIOC, an affiliate of FMR, which is located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FIIOC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services for the fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fee is billed monthly on a pro rata basis at one-twelfth of the applicable annual rate as of the end of each calendar month. The asset-based fee is calculated and paid monthly on the basis of average daily net assets. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

FIIOC also may collect fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, Citibank receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in certain funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's, or a fund of funds' assets that is invested in the fund.

FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

Many fund shares are owned by intermediaries for the benefit of their customers. Since a fund often does not maintain an account for shareholders in those instances, some or all of the recordkeeping services for these accounts may be performed by third parties. FIIOC or an affiliate may make payments to intermediaries (including affiliates of FIIOC) for recordkeeping and other services.

Retirement plans may also hold fund shares in the name of the plan or its trustee, rather than the plan participant. In situations where FIIOC or an affiliate does not provide recordkeeping services, plan recordkeepers, who may have affiliated financial intermediaries who sell shares of the fund, may, upon direction, be paid for providing recordkeeping services to plan participants. Payments may also be made, upon direction, for other plan expenses. FIIOC may also pay an affiliate for providing services that otherwise would have been performed by FIIOC.

In certain situations where FIIOC or an affiliate provides recordkeeping services to a retirement plan, payments may be made to pay for plan expenses. The amount of such payments may be based on investments in particular Fidelity funds, or may be fixed for a given period of time. Upon direction, payments may be made to plan sponsors, or at the direction of plan sponsors, third parties, for expenses incurred in connection with the plan. FIIOC may also pay an affiliate for providing services that otherwise would have been performed by FIIOC.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with Citibank. Under the terms of the agreement, Citibank provides pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund. Citibank in turn has entered into a sub-service agent agreement with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreement, FSC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends for the fund and maintaining the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and receives all related pricing and bookkeeping fees paid to Citibank.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0259% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0156% of average net assets between $500 million and $3.5 billion, 0.0041% of average net assets between $3.5 billion and $25 billion, and 0.0019% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion.

<R>For the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, and February 29, 2008, the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees of $122,009, $61,957, and $30,680, respectively.</R>

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity California Short-Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund is a fund of Fidelity California Municipal Trust, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated April 28, 1983. Currently, there are two funds offered in the trust: Fidelity California Municipal Income Fund and Fidelity California Short-Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

<R>Custodian. Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. From time to time, subject to approval by a fund's Treasurer, the fund may enter into escrow arrangements with other banks if necessary to participate in certain investment offerings.</R>

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

<R>Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 125 High Street, Boston Massachusetts, independent registered public accounting firm, examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.</R>

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, and report of the independent registered public accounting firm, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference. Total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table may differ from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights because total annual operating expenses as shown in the prospectus fee table include any acquired fund fees and expenses, whereas the ratios of expenses in the financial highlights do not. Acquired funds include other investment companies (such as central funds or other underlying funds) in which the fund has invested, if and to the extent it is permitted to do so. Total annual operating expenses in the prospectus fee table and the financial highlights do not include any expenses associated with investments in certain structured or synthetic products that may rely on the exception from the definition of "investment company" provided by section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act.

FUND HOLDINGS INFORMATION

The fund views holdings information as sensitive and limits its dissemination. The Board authorized FMR to establish and administer guidelines for the dissemination of fund holdings information, which may be amended at any time without prior notice. FMR's Disclosure Policy Committee (comprising executive officers of FMR) evaluates disclosure policy with the goal of serving the fund's best interests by striking an appropriate balance between providing information about the fund's portfolio and protecting the fund from potentially harmful disclosure. The Board reviews the administration and modification of these guidelines and receives reports from the fund's chief compliance officer periodically.

The fund will provide a full list of holdings monthly on www.fidelity.com 30 days after the month-end (excluding high income security holdings, which generally will be presented collectively monthly and included in a list of full holdings 60 days after its fiscal quarter-end).

This information will be available on the web site until updated for the next applicable period.

The fund may also from time to time provide or make available to the Board or third parties upon request specific fund level performance attribution information and statistics. Third parties may include fund shareholders or prospective fund shareholders, members of the press, consultants, and ratings and ranking organizations.

The Use of Holdings In Connection With Fund Operations. Material non-public holdings information may be provided as part of the investment activities of the fund to: entities which, by explicit agreement or by virtue of their respective duties to the fund, are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed; other parties if legally required; or persons FMR believes will not misuse the disclosed information. These entities, parties, and persons include: the fund's trustees; the fund's manager, its sub-advisers and their affiliates whose access persons are subject to a code of ethics; contractors who are subject to a confidentiality agreement; the fund's auditors; the fund's custodians; proxy voting service providers; financial printers; pricing service vendors; broker-dealers in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or requests for price quotations or bids on one or more securities; securities lending agents; counsel to the fund or its Independent Trustees; regulatory authorities; stock exchanges and other listing organizations; parties to litigation; and third-parties in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding relating to a fund holding. Non-public holdings information may also be provided to an issuer regarding the number or percentage of its shares that are owned by a fund and in connection with redemptions in kind.

Other Uses Of Holdings Information. In addition, the fund may provide material non-public holdings information to (i) third-parties that calculate information derived from holdings for use by FMR or its affiliates, (ii) third parties that supply their analyses of holdings (but not the holdings themselves) to their clients (including sponsors of retirement plans or their consultants), (iii) ratings and rankings organizations, and (iv) an investment adviser, trustee, or their agents to whom holdings are disclosed for due diligence purposes or in anticipation of a merger involving the fund. Each individual request is reviewed by the Disclosure Policy Committee which must find, in its sole discretion that, based on the specific facts and circumstances, the disclosure appears unlikely to be harmful to the fund. Entities receiving this information must have in place control mechanisms to reasonably ensure or otherwise agree that, (a) the holdings information will be kept confidential, (b) no employee shall use the information to effect trading or for their personal benefit, and (c) the nature and type of information that they, in turn, may disclose to third-parties is limited. FMR relies primarily on the existence of non-disclosure agreements and/or control mechanisms when determining that disclosure is not likely to be harmful to the fund.

At this time, the entities receiving information described in the preceding paragraph are: Factset Research Systems Inc. (full or partial fund holdings daily, on the next business day); Thomson Vestek (full holdings, as of the end of the calendar quarter, 15 calendar days after the calendar quarter-end); Standard & Poor's Rating Services (full holdings weekly (generally as of the previous Friday), generally 5 business days thereafter); Moody's Investors Service (full holdings monthly, (generally as of the last Friday of each month), generally the first Friday of the following month); Anacomp Inc. (full or partial holdings daily, on the next business day); and MSCI Inc. and certain affiliates (full or partial fund holdings daily, on the next business day).

FMR, its affiliates, or the fund will not enter into any arrangements with third-parties from which they derive consideration for the disclosure of material non-public holdings information. If, in the future, FMR desired to make such an arrangement, it would seek prior Board approval and any such arrangements would be disclosed in the fund's SAI.

There can be no assurance that the fund's policies and procedures with respect to disclosure of fund portfolio holdings will prevent the misuse of such information by individuals and firms that receive such information.

Item 29. Trusts Controlled by or under Common Control with this Trust

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is the same as the board of other Fidelity funds, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research Company, or an affiliate, as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective trusts.

Item 30. Indemnification

Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.

Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC") is appointed sub-transfer agent, the Transfer Agent agrees to indemnify FIIOC for FIIOC's losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) (losses) to the extent that the Transfer Agent is entitled to and receives indemnification from the Fund for the same events. Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold the Transfer Agent harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Trust, including by a shareholder, which names the Transfer Agent and/or the Trust as a party and is not based on and does not result from the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with the Transfer Agent's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties) which results from the negligence of the Trust, or from the Transfer Agent's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Trust, or as a result of the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to have been given by counsel for the Trust, or as a result of the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
