INVESTMENT ADVISER NAME CHANGE
 
 
Effective January 1, 2011, Nuveen Asset Management, the Funds’ investment adviser, changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“Nuveen Fund Advisors”). Concurrently, Nuveen Fund Advisors formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, to house its portfolio management capabilities.
 
 
NUVEEN INVESTMENTS COMPLETES STRATEGIC COMBINATION WITH FAF ADVISORS
 
 
On December 31, 2010, Nuveen Investments completed the strategic combination between Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, the largest investment affiliate of Nuveen Investments, and FAF Advisors. As part of this transaction, U.S. Bancorp – the parent of FAF Advisors – received cash consideration and a 9.5% stake in Nuveen Investments in exchange for the long term investment business of FAF Advisors, including investment-management responsibilities for the non-money market mutual funds of the First American Funds family. 
 
 
The approximately $27 billion of mutual fund and institutional assets managed by FAF Advisors, along with the investment professionals managing these assets and other key personnel, have become part of Nuveen Asset Management, LLC. With these additions to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, this affiliate now manages more than $100 billion of assets across a broad range of strategies from municipal and taxable fixed income to traditional and specialized equity investments.
 
 
This combination does not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Funds in this report. Over time, Nuveen Investments expects that the combination will provide even more ways to meet the needs of investors who work with financial advisors and consultants by enhancing the multi-boutique model of Nuveen Investments, which also includes highly respected investment teams at HydePark, NWQ Investment Management, Santa Barbara Asset Management, Symphony Asset Management, Tradewinds Global Investors and Winslow Capital. Nuveen Investments managed approximately $197 billion of assets as of December 31, 2010.

Chairman’s
Letter to Shareholders
 
 
Dear Shareholders,
 
In 2010, the global economy recorded another year of recovery from the financial and economic crises of 2008, but many of the factors that caused the downturn still weigh on the prospects for continued improvement. In the U.S., ongoing weakness in housing values has put pressure on homeowners and mortgage lenders. Similarly, the strong earnings recovery for corporations and banks is only slowly being translated into increased hiring or more active lending. Globally, deleveraging by private and public borrowers has inhibited economic growth and that process is far from complete.
 
Encouragingly, constructive actions are being taken by governments around the world to deal with economic issues. In the U.S., the recent passage of a stimulatory tax bill relieved some of the pressure on the Federal Reserve to promote economic expansion through quantitative easing and offers the promise of sustained economic growth. A number of European governments are undertaking programs that could significantly reduce their budget deficits. Governments across the emerging markets are implementing various steps to deal with global capital flows without undermining international trade and investment.
 
The success of these government actions could determine whether 2011 brings further economic recovery and financial market progress. One risk associated with the extraordinary efforts to strengthen U.S. economic growth is that the debt of the U.S. government will continue to grow to unprecedented levels. Another risk is that over time there could be inflationary pressures on asset values in the U.S. and abroad, because what happens in the U.S. impacts the rest of the world economy. Also, these various actions are being taken in a setting of heightened global economic uncertainty, primarily about the supplies of energy and other critical commodities. In this challenging environment, your Nuveen investment team continues to seek sustainable investment opportunities and to remain alert to potential risks in a recovery still facing many headwinds. On your behalf, we monitor their activities to assure they maintain their investment disciplines.
 
As you will note elsewhere in this report, on December 31, 2010, Nuveen Investments completed a strategic combination with FAF Advisors, Inc., the manager of the First American Funds. The combination adds highly respected and distinct investment teams to meet the needs of investors and their advisors and is designed to benefit all fund shareholders by creating a fund organization with the potential for further economies of scale and the ability to draw from even greater talent and expertise to meet those investor needs.
 
As of the end of April, 2011, Nuveen Investments had completed the refinancing of all of the Auction Rate Preferred Securities issued by its taxable closed-end funds and 80% of the Muni Preferred shares issued by its tax-exempt closed-end funds. Please consult the Nuveen Investments web site, www.Nuveen.com, for the current status of this important refinancing program.
 
As always, I encourage you to contact your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of your Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Robert P. Bremner

What factors affected the U.S. economic and municipal market environments during the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2011?
 
 
During this period, the U.S. economy demonstrated some signs of improvement, supported by the efforts of both the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the federal government. For its part, the Fed continued to hold the benchmark fed funds rate in a target range of zero to 0.25% since cutting it to this record low level in December 2008. At its March 2011 meeting (after the end of this reporting period), the central bank renewed its commitment to keeping the fed funds rate at “exceptionally low levels” for an “extended period.” The Fed also left unchanged its second round of quantitative easing, which calls for purchasing $600 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds by June 30, 2011. The goal of this plan is to lower long-term interest rates and thereby stimulate economic activity and create jobs. The federal government continued to focus on implementing the economic stimulus package passed in early 2009 and aimed at providing job creation, tax relief, fiscal assistance to state and local governments and expansion of unemployment benefits and other federal social welfare programs.
 
 
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the U.S. economy, as measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), grew at an annualized rate of 3.1%, marking the first time the economy put together six consecutive quarters of positive growth since 2006-2007. In February 2011, national unemployment dropped below 9% for the first time in 21 months, standing at 8.9%, down from 9.7% a year earlier. At the same time, inflation posted its largest gain since April 2009, as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.1% year-over-year as of February 2011, driven mainly by increased prices for energy. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.1% over this period. The housing market continued to be the weak

spot in the economy. For the twelve months ended January 2011 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), the average home price in the Standard & Poor’s (S&P)/Case-Shiller index of 20 major metropolitan areas lost 3.1%, with 11 of the 20 metropolitan areas hitting their lowest levels since housing prices peaked in 2006.
 
 
Municipal bond prices generally rose during the first eight months of this period, as the combination of strong demand and tight supply of new tax-exempt issuance created favorable market conditions. One reason for the decrease in new tax-exempt supply was the heavy issuance of taxable municipal debt under the Build America Bond (BAB) program, which was created as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of February 2009 and which expired December 31, 2010. Build America Bonds generally offered municipal issuers a federal subsidy equal to 35% of a bond’s interest payments, providing issuers with an alternative to traditional tax-exempt debt that often was lower in cost. For the period March 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, taxable Build America Bonds issuance totaled $117.3 billion, accounting for 24% of new bonds issued in the municipal market. After rallying strongly over most of the period, the municipal market suffered a reversal in mid-November 2010, due largely to investor concerns about inflation, the federal deficit and its impact on demand for U.S. Treasuries. Adding to this situation was the popular media’s coverage of the strained finances of many state and local governments, which often failed to differentiate between gaps in operating budgets and those entities’ ability to meet their debt service obligations. As a result, money began to flow out of municipal mutual funds, yields rose and valuations lowered. Toward the end of this period, we saw the environment in the municipal market improve, as crossover buyers—including hedge funds and life insurance companies—were attracted by municipal bond prices and tax-exempt yields, resulting in decreased outflows, declining yields and rising valuations.
 
 
Over the twelve months ended February 28, 2011, municipal bond issuance nationwide—both tax-exempt and taxable—totaled $423.4 billion. Demand for municipal bonds was exceptionally strong during the majority of this period, especially from individual investors. In recent months, crossover buyers have provided support for the market.
 
 
How were the economic and market environments in California during this period?
 
 
California’s economy is the largest in the United States and the eighth largest in the world on a stand-alone basis, according to the International Monetary Fund. The state continued to be burdened by serious budget problems, with persistent deficits and high spending outweighing its ability to generate revenues. That said, the state’s revenue picture has begun to improve modestly. As of October 2010, California’s General Fund revenues were above estimated levels by close to 1%, with the improvement driven by three main sources — higher corporate-tax, personal-income-tax and sales-tax collections. In October 2010 alone, tax receipts surpassed budget estimates by almost 5%. Toward year-end, after a long political stalemate, the state’s government finally enacted a $125 billion budget for the 2011 fiscal year, closing a gap of more than $19 billion. This budget includes no new taxes, a variety of spending reductions, and the use of various one-time receipts, loans, and other solutions to rectify the budget shortfall. The state’s unemployment rate was 12.2% in February 2011 — second-highest in the nation

and well above the national average of 8.9% for the same month. At the end of the reporting period, California maintained credit ratings of A1, A- and A- from rating agencies Moody’s Investor Services, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Fitch, respectively. The supply of new tax-exempt bond issuance in California totaled more than $58 billion during the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2010, a 21% year-over-year drop, compared to roughly flat issuance levels nationwide during the same time frame.
 
 
What key strategies were used to manage the California Funds during this reporting period?
 
 
As previously mentioned, the new issue supply of tax-exempt bonds declined nationally during this period, due largely to the issuance of taxable bonds under the Build America Bond program (which expired December 31, 2010). This program also significantly impacted the availability of tax-exempt bonds in California. Between March 1, 2010, and the end of the BAB program in December 2010, California issued more than $20 billion in taxable Build America Bonds, ranking as the largest user of BABs among the 50 states. For this period, Build America Bonds accounted for approximately 35% of total municipal issuance in California, which was already down significantly from the twelvemonth period ended February 28, 2010. Since interest payments from Build America Bonds represent taxable income, we did not view these bonds as good investment opportunities for these Funds.
 
 
Despite the constrained issuance on tax-exempt municipal bonds, much of our investment activity was opportunistic. We continued to take a bottom-up approach to discovering undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to perform well over the long term. During this period, the Funds found value in school district bonds, especially zero coupon and convertible zero coupon bonds issued for various school districts. We also purchased health care credits, general obligation bonds issued by the state and local governments and redevelopment bonds.
 
 
Some of this investment activity resulted from opportunities created by the provisions of the Build America Bond program. For example, tax-exempt supply was more plentiful in the health care sector because, as 501(c)(3) (nonprofit) organizations, hospitals generally did not qualify for the Build America Bond program and continued to issue bonds in the tax-exempt municipal market. Bonds with proceeds earmarked for refundings, working capital and private activities also were not covered by the Build America Bond program and this resulted in attractive opportunities in various other sectors of the market.
 
 
The impact of the Build America Bond program also was evident in the area of longer-term issuance, as municipal issuers sought to take full advantage of the attractive financing terms offered by these bonds. Approximately 70% of Build America Bonds were issued with maturities of at least 30 years. Although this had a significant impact on the availability of tax-exempt credits with longer maturities, the Funds continued to focus on purchasing bonds at the longer end of the yield curve when appropriate bonds became available.
 
 
Cash for new purchases during this period was generated primarily by the proceeds from bond calls and maturing bonds, which we worked to redeploy to keep the Funds fully invested. In addition, the Funds sold selected short-dated pre-refunded bonds.

During the last part of the period, as we undertook some structural changes, we sold older health care bonds with 5% coupons and shorter call dates in order to fund our purchases of current market health care credits with larger coupons and better call structures. Some of the Funds also sold corporate industrial development/pollution control revenue bonds where we believed we had extracted all of the price performance potential. These bonds attracted very good prices due to interest from crossover buyers.
 
 
As of February 28, 2011, all seven of these Funds continued to use inverse floating rate securities. We employ inverse floaters as a form of leverage for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and total return enhancement.

For the twelve months ended February 28, 2011, the total returns on common share net asset value (NAV) for all seven of these California Funds underperformed the returns for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) California Municipal Bond Index and the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index. For this same period, NCA, NCB, NQC and NUC exceeded the average return for the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average, while NCP, NCO and NVC underperformed the Lipper average.
 
 
Key management factors that influenced the Funds’ returns during this period included sector allocation, credit exposure and duration and yield curve positioning. In addition, the Funds, especially NUC, benefited from strong individual security selection. The use of structural leverage also factored into the performance of all of these Funds except for NCA and NCB, which are unleveraged. Leverage is discussed in more detail on page ten.

The predominant factor in the performance of the California Funds for this period was each Fund’s weighting in California state GOs. All of these Funds were underweight in varying degrees to the tax-supported sector, especially California state GOs, relative to the California market. This underweighting was due to the fact that California state GOs comprise such a large portion (just over 25% as of February 2011) of the tax-supported sector in California that it is difficult to match the market weighting in our portfolios. During this period, due in part to their scarcity and security provisions, California state GOs outperformed the general municipal market by a significant margin. Consequently, the more underweight a Fund was in these credits, the more it hurt that Fund’s performance.
 
 
Other sectors that outperformed the overall municipal market during this period included industrial development revenue (IDR) and housing. In general, the higher a Fund’s allocation to IDRs, the greater the offset to the negative impact of that Fund’s underexposure to California state GOs. These Funds generally had relatively small allocations to housing bonds, which limited their participation in the outperformance of this sector.
 
 
In contrast, the health care, education and transportation sectors turned in relatively weak performance, and tobacco bonds were among the poorest performers. All of these Funds were generally underexposed to tobacco credits, which lessened the negative impact of this sector. Our holdings in the “other revenue” sector, specifically tax increment financing district or redevelopment district bonds, also generally performed poorly during this period. Changes to the redevelopment district program, suggested as part of efforts to close gaps in the California state budget, caused concern among both investors and issuers of these bonds, which resulted in heavier supply of redevelopment district bonds in the market. This, in turn, caused the sector to trade off. The California Funds tended to be overweighted in this sector, and its underperformance had a negative impact on their returns.
 
 
Credit exposure also played an important role in performance during these twelve months. During the market reversal of late 2010, as the demand for high-yield bonds decreased, prices on lower quality credits generally fell. For the period, bonds rated BBB typically underperformed those rated AAA or A. On the whole, it is our management style to overweight the BBB credit category in these Funds, and that generally detracted from their performance during this period. NCO, in particular, was hurt by the combination of overexposure to BBB bonds and underexposure to bonds rated A.
 
 
During this period, municipal bonds with intermediate maturities, especially those in the long intermediate segment of the yield curve, generally outperformed other maturity groupings, with credits at both the shortest and longest ends of the curve posting the weakest returns. Overall, the effect of the Funds’ duration and yield curve positioning was relatively neutral for performance during this period, especially when compared with the impact of sector allocation and credit exposure. Among these seven Funds, NCA had the most advantageous yield curve positioning, which was modestly positive for its performance, while NCOs performance was hampered by its greater exposure to the underperforming shortest and longest parts of the yield curve.

During this period, NCB and NCO also entered into forward interest rate swaps to broadly reduce the sensitivity of the Funds to movements in U.S. interest rates.
 
 
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
 
 
One important factor impacting the returns of most of these Funds relative to the comparative indexes was the Funds’ use of structural leverage. As mentioned previously, NCA and NCB do not use structural leverage. The Funds use leverage because their managers believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders. However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility. For example, as the prices of securities held by a Fund decline, the negative impact of these valuation changes on common share net asset value and common shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when the prices of securities held by a Fund generally are rising. Leverage made a positive contribution to the performance of these Funds over this reporting period.
 
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FUNDS’ REDEMPTION OF AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SHARES
 
 
Shortly after their respective inception, each of the Funds (except NCA and NCB) issued auction rate preferred shares (ARPS) to create structural leverage. As noted in past shareholder reports, the ARPS issued by many closed-end funds, including these Funds, have been hampered by a lack of liquidity since February 2008. Since that time, more ARPS have been submitted for sale in each of their regularly scheduled auctions than there have been offers to buy. In fact, offers to buy have been almost completely nonexistent since late February 2008. This means that these auctions have “failed to clear,” and that many, or all, of the ARPS shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. This lack of liquidity in ARPS did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and ARPS shareholders unable to sell their shares continued to receive distributions at the “maximum rate” applicable to failed auctions, as calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the ARPS. In the recent market, with short-term rates at multigenerational lows, those maximum rates also have been low.
 
 
One continuing implication for common shareholders from the auction failures is that each Fund’s cost of leverage likely has been incrementally higher at times than it otherwise might have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, each Fund’s common share earnings likely have been incrementally lower at times than they otherwise might have been.
 
 
As noted in past shareholder reports, the Nuveen funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees authorized several methods that can be used separately or in combination to refinance a portion of the Nuveen funds’ outstanding ARPS. Some funds have utilized tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as inverse floating rate securities, for leverage purposes. The amount of TOBs that a fund may use varies according to the composition of each fund’s portfolio. Some funds have a greater ability to use TOBs than others. Some funds have issued Variable Rate Demand Preferred (VRDP) Shares as well as Variable MuniFund Term Preferred (VMTP) Shares, which are a floating rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory term redemption. Some funds have issued MuniFund Term Preferred (MTP)

Shares, a fixed rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption period of three to five years.
 
 
While all these efforts have reduced the total amount of outstanding ARPS issued by the Nuveen funds, the funds cannot provide any assurance on when the remaining outstanding ARPS might be redeemed.
 
 
During 2010 and 2011, certain Nuveen leveraged closed-end funds (excluding all of the Funds in this report) received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of purported holders of common shares of each such fund, alleging that Nuveen and the funds’ officers and Board of Directors/Trustees breached their fiduciary duties related to the redemption at par of the funds’ ARPS. In response, the Board established an ad hoc Demand Committee consisting of certain of its disinterested and independent Board members to investigate the claims. The Demand Committee retained independent counsel to assist it in conducting an extensive investigation. Based upon its investigation, the Demand Committee found that it was not in the best interests of each fund or its shareholders to take the actions suggested in the demand letters, and recommended that the full Board reject the demands made in the demand letters. After reviewing the findings and recommendation of the Demand Committee, the full Board of each fund unanimously adopted the Demand Committee’s recommendation.
 
 
Subsequently, the funds that received demand letters (excluding all of the Funds in this report) were named in a consolidated complaint as nominal defendants in a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Martin Safier, et al. v. Nuveen Asset Management, et al. that was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division (the “Cook County Chancery Court”) on February 18, 2011 (the “Complaint”). The Complaint, filed on behalf of purported holders of each fund’s common shares, also name Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. as a defendant, together with current and former Officers and interested Director/Trustees of each of the funds (together with the nominal defendants, collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint contains the same basic allegations contained in the demand letters. The suits seek a declaration that the Defendants have breached their fiduciary duties, an order directing the Defendants not to redeem any ARPS at their liquidation value using fund assets, indeterminate monetary damages in favor of the funds and an award of plaintiffs’ costs and disbursements in pursuing the action. Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. believes that the Complaint is without merit, and is defending vigorously against these charges.
 
 
As of February 28, 2011, NCP, NCO, NQC, NVC and NUC have redeemed all of their outstanding ARPS at par.
 
 
During this twelve-month reporting period, NCP, NCO, NQC, NVC  and NUC issued $81.0 million, $49.8 million, $95.6 million, $158.9 million and $158.1 million, respectively, of VRDP to redeem at par their remaining outstanding ARPS. As noted previously, VRDP is a newly-developed instrument that essentially replaces all or a portion of the ARPS used as leverage and potentially could be used to refinance all or a portion of the ARPS of other Funds. VRDP shares include a liquidity feature that allows holders of VRDP to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider in the event that sell orders have not been matched with purchase orders and successfully settled in a remarketing. VRDP is offered only to qualified institutional buyers, defined pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

Common Share Dividend and
Share Price Information
 
 
During the twelve months ended February 28, 2011, NCO, NQC, NVC and NUC each had one monthly dividend increase. The dividends of NCA and NCP remained stable throughout the reporting period, while NCB had one reduction in its dividend effective December 2010.
 
 
Due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of NCA received a net ordinary income distribution of $0.0028 per share, and common shareholders of NCB received a short-term capital gains distribution of $0.0072 per share at the end of 2010.
 
 
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund’s past results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund’s NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of February 28, 2011, all of the Funds had positive UNII balances for both tax purposes and financial reporting purposes.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund 2, Nuveen California Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. and Nuveen California Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2011, and the related statements of operations and cash flows (Nuveen California Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc., and Nuveen California Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. only) for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the periods indicated therein, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund 2, Nuveen California Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. and Nuveen California Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. at February 28, 2011, and the results of their operations and cash flows (Nuveen California Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. and Nuveen California Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. only) for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for the periods indicated therein, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
 
(3)
Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade.

(4)
Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities.
 
(5)
This debt has been restructured to accommodate capital maintenance at the facility. Major highlights of the debt restructuring include the following: (1) the principal balance outstanding on and after December 1, 2007, shall accrue interest at a rate of 6.500% per annum commencing December 1, 2007; (2) the interest shall accrue but not be payable on June 1, 2008 or December 1, 2008, but shall instead be deferred and paid by the end of calendar year 2011; (3) no principal component shall be pre-payable from the Minimum Sinking Fund Account during calendar years 2008 and 2009 but such pre-payments shall recommence beginning in calendar year 2010 according to a revised schedule. Management believes that the restructuring is in the best interest of Fund shareholders and that it is more-likely-than-not that the borrower will fulfill its obligation. Consequently, the Fund continues to accrue interest on this obligation.
 
N/R
Not rated.
 
(ETM)

periodic principal paydowns. 
(3) 
 
Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), 
   
Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are 
   
considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.

Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal 
   
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities. 
(5) 
 
This debt has been restructured to accommodate capital maintenance at the facility. Major highlights of the debt restructuring include the following: (1) the 
   
principal balance outstanding on and after December 1, 2007, shall accrue interest at a rate of 6.500% per annum commencing December 1, 2007; (2) the inter- 
   
est shall accrue but not be payable on June 1, 2008 or December 1, 2008, but shall instead be deferred and paid by the end of calendar year 2011; (3) no 
   
principal component shall be pre-payable from the Minimum Sinking Fund Account during calendar years 2008 and 2009 but such pre-payments shall recom- 
   
mence beginning in calendar year 2010 according to a revised schedule. Management believes that the restructuring is in the best interest of Fund shareholders 
   
and that it is more-likely-than-not that the borrower will fulfill its obligation. Consequently, the Fund continues to accrue interest on this obligation. 
(6) 
 
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments is 31.5%.

All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.

Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest 
   
optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to 
   
periodic principal paydowns. 
(3) 
 
Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), 
   
Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are 
   
considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. 
(4) 
 
Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal 
   
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities. 
(5) 
 
This debt has been restructured to accommodate capital maintenance at the facility. Major highlights of the debt restructuring include the following: (1) the 
   
principal balance outstanding on and after December 1, 2007, shall accrue interest at a rate of 6.500% per annum commencing December 1, 2007; (2) the inter- 
   
est shall accrue but not be payable on June 1, 2008 or December 1, 2008, but shall instead be deferred and paid by the end of calendar year 2011; (3) no 
   
principal component shall be pre-payable from the Minimum Sinking Fund Account during calendar years 2008 and 2009 but such pre-payments shall recom- 
   
mence beginning in calendar year 2010 according to a revised schedule. Management believes that the restructuring is in the best interest of Fund shareholders 
   
and that it is more-likely-than-not that the borrower will fulfill its obligation. Consequently, the Fund continues to accrue interest on this obligation. 
(6) 
 
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of Total Investments is 32.1%. 
(7) 
 
Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Value and/or the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of derivative instruments as listed within Investments

(a)
Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
 
 
 
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
(b)
Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund’s net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
(c)
The expense ratios reflect, among other things, the interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Fund, where applicable, as described in Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies, Inverse Floating Rate Securities.
(d)
For the six months ended February 28, 2009.
(e)
For the period April 28, 2009 (commencement of operations) through February 28, 2010.

(a)     
The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
(b)     
Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
   
 
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
(c)     
Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares and/or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares, where applicable.
(d)     
Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund’s net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
(e)     
The expense ratios reflect, among other things, payments to Variable Rate Demand Preferred shareholders and/or the interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Fund, where applicable, both as described in Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies, Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.
(f)     
For the six months ended February 28, 2009.

The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
(b)     
Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
 
 
 
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
(c)     
Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares and/or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares, where applicable.
(d)     
Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund’s net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
(e)     
The expense ratios reflect, among other things, payments to Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shareholders and/or the interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Fund, where applicable, both as described in Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies, Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
 
General Information
 
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NCA), Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund 2 (NCB), Nuveen California Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. (NCP), Nuveen California Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NCO), Nuveen California Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQC), Nuveen California Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NVC) and Nuveen California Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NUC) (collectively, the “Funds”). Common shares of California Value (NCA), California Performance Plus (NCP), California Opportunity (NCO), California Investment Quality (NQC), California Select Quality (NVC) and California Quality Income (NUC) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) while Common shares of California Value 2 (NCB) are traded on the NYSE Amex. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end, registered investment companies.
 
Effective January 1, 2011, the Funds’ adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”), changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”). Concurrently, the Adviser formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to house its portfolio management capabilities and serve as the Funds’ sub-adviser, and the Funds’ portfolio managers became employees of the Sub-Adviser. This allocation of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser affects each of the Funds. The Adviser will compensate the Sub-Adviser for the portfolio management services it provides to the Funds from each Fund’s management fee.
 
Prior to the commencement of operations on April 28, 2009, California Value 2 (NCB) had no operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 by the Adviser, and the recording of the organization costs ($15,000) and its reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, LLC (the “Distributor”), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen.
 
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and California state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of California or certain U.S. territories.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
 
Investment Valuation
 
Prices of municipal bonds and forward swap contracts are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. When price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal bonds) the pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
 
Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.
 
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value (as
 
 
82 Nuveen Investments
 
 
 

 
 
may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of an issue of securities would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of these securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees or its designee.
 
Refer to Footnote 2 – Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.
 
Investment Transactions
 
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At February 28, 2011, there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
 
Investment Income
 
Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
 
Income Taxes
 
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and California state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
 
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
 
Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions to Common shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
 
Auction Rate Preferred Shares
 
Each Fund except California Value (NCA) and California Value 2 (NCB) are authorized to issue Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”). During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, the Funds had outstanding ARPS, $25,000 stated value per share, which approximates market value, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund’s ARPS was issued in more than one Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series was determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent, and was payable at the end of each rate period.
 
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the ARPS issued by the Funds than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions “failed to clear,” and that many ARPS shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. ARPS shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the “maximum rate” applicable to failed auctions as

calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the ARPS. As of February 28, 2011, the Funds redeemed all of their outstanding ARPS, at liquidation value, as follows:

Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
 
The following Funds have issued and outstanding Series 1 Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. California Performance Plus (NCP), California Opportunity (NCO), California Investment Quality (NQC), California Select Quality (NVC) and California Quality Income (NUC) issued their VRDP Shares in a privately negotiated offering during December 2010, March 2010, December 2010, August 2010 and August 2010, respectively. Proceeds of each Fund’s offering were used to redeem all, or a portion of, each Fund’s outstanding ARPS. The VRDP Shares were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. As of February 28, 2011, the number of VRDP Shares outstanding and maturity date for each Fund are as follows:

VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom each Fund has contracted in the event that purchase orders for VRDP Shares in a remarketing are not sufficient in number to be matched with the sale orders in that remarketing. Each Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing.
 
Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation value. If remarketings for VRDP Shares are continuously unsuccessful for six months, the maximum rate is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.
 
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of each Fund. Each Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
 
The average liquidation value outstanding and annualized dividend rate of VRDP Shares for each Fund during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, were as follows:

For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of VRDP Shares is recognized as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends paid on the VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In addition to interest expense, each Fund also pays a per annum liquidity fee to the liquidity provider, which is recognized as “Liquidity fees on VRDP” on the Statement of Operations.
 
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
 
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that
 
84 Nuveen Investments
 
 
 

 
 
represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
 
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
 
During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, each Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
 
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”) with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund’s inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
At February 28, 2011, each Fund’s maximum exposure to externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:

Forward Swap Contracts
 
Each Fund is authorized to enter into forward interest rate swap contracts consistent with their investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e. duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).
 
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Each Fund’s use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer, generally to more closely align the Fund’s interest rate sensitivity with that of the broader market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond’s maturity). The value of a Fund’s swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the swap’s termination date increases or decreases. Forward interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward swaps” with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward swaps.”
 
Nuveen Investments 85
 
 
 

 
 
Notes to
Financial Statements (continued)
 
Each Fund may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Net realized gains and losses during the fiscal period are recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from forward swaps.” Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination.
 
During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, California Value 2 (NCB) and California Opportunity (NCO) entered into forward interest rate swap transactions to broadly reduce the sensitivity of the Funds to movements in U.S. interest rates. The average notional amount of forward interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, was as follows:

Refer to Footnote 3 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on forward interest rate swap contract activity.
 
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
 
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearing house, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
 
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
 
Zero Coupon Securities
 
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
 
Organization and Offering Costs
 
The Distributor has agreed to reimburse all organizational costs ($15,000) and pay all Common share offering costs (other than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per share of California Value 2 (NCB). California Municipal Value 2’s (NCB) share of Common share offering costs ($98,427) were recorded as reductions of the proceeds from the sale of Common shares.
 
Costs incurred by California Performance Plus (NCP), California Opportunity (NCO), California Investment Quality (NQC), California Select Quality (NVC) and California Quality Income (NUC) in connection with their offerings of VRDP Shares ($610,000, $928,000, $650,000, $837,250 and $835,250, respectively), were recorded as deferred charges which will be amortized over the 30-year life of the shares. Each Fund’s amortized deferred charges are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
 
Custodian Fee Credit
 
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
 
86 Nuveen Investments
 
 
 

 
 
Indemnifications
 
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and directors/trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
2. Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy or inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
 
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
 
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of February 28, 2011:

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in which each Fund was invested during and at the end of the reporting period, refer to the Portfolios of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.
 
The following tables present the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Funds as of February 28, 2011, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure. California Value Fund 2 (NCB) and California Opportunity (NCO) invested in derivative instruments during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011.

6. Income Tax Information
 
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.
 
At February 28, 2011, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser, and for California Value (NCA) a gross interest income component. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
 
California Value (NCA) pays an annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, of .15% of the average daily net assets* of the Fund, as well as 4.125% of the gross interest income (excluding interest on bonds underlying a “self-deposited inverse floater” trust that is attributed to the Fund over and above the net interest earned on the inverse floater itself) of the Fund.
 
The annual fund-level fee for each Fund (excluding California Value (NCA)), payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

*     
For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of February 28, 2011, the complex-level fee rate for the Funds was .1799%.
 
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Adviser under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
 
The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its directors/trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors/trustees that enables directors/trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process(Unaudited)
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board members, including by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any parties (the “Independent Board Members”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s board members must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 25-26, 2010 (the “May Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be) (each a “Board” and each Trustee or Director, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the continuation of the advisory agreements (each an “Advisory Agreement”) between each Fund and Nuveen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) for an additional one-year period. In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 21-22, 2010 (the “April Meeting”). Accordingly, the factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting.
 
In addition, in evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed a broad range of information relating to the Funds and the Adviser, including absolute and comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Funds (as described in more detail below), the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned subsidiaries), and other information regarding the organization, personnel, and services provided by the Adviser. The Independent Board Members also met quarterly as well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took into account the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained therefrom. Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel describing applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory contracts, and met with independent legal counsel in private sessions without management present. The Independent Board Members considered the legal advice provided by independent legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of the Adviser, its services and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors to be considered in evaluating the
 
100 Nuveen Investments
 
 
 

 
 
Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund’s Advisory Agreement. The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Board Members’ considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.
 
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, including advisory services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the Adviser’s organization and business; the types of services that the Adviser or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product line, including continued activities to refinance auction rate preferred securities, manage leverage during periods of market turbulence and implement an enhanced leverage management process, modify investment mandates in light of market conditions and seek shareholder approval as necessary, maintain the fund share repurchase program and maintain shareholder communications to keep shareholders apprised of Nuveen’s efforts in refinancing preferred shares. In addition to the foregoing, the Independent Board Members also noted the additional services that the Adviser or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including, in particular, Nuveen’s continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include maintaining an investor relations program to provide timely information and education to financial advisers and investors; providing marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining and enhancing a closed-end fund website; participating in conferences and having direct communications with analysts and financial advisors.
 
As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also evaluated the background, experience and track record of the Adviser’s investment personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the personnel, and the impact on the level of services provided to the Funds, if any. The Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate the Adviser’s ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not provide an incentive for taking undue risks.
 
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the quality of administrative services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates including product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance and legal
 
Nuveen Investments 101
 
 
 

 
 
Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
 
 
support. Given the importance of compliance, the Independent Board Members also considered the Adviser’s compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures.
 
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective Funds under the Advisory Agreements were satisfactory.
 
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser
The Board considered the performance results of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed, among other things, each Fund’s historic investment performance as well as information comparing the Fund’s performance information with that of other funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) based on data provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data and with recognized and/or customized benchmarks. In this regard, the Board reviewed each Fund’s total return information compared to its Performance Peer Group for the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2009 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist during part of the foregoing time frame). In addition, the Board reviewed each Fund’s total return information compared to recognized and/or customized benchmarks for the quarter, one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2009 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist during part of the foregoing time frame). Moreover, the Board reviewed the peer ranking of the Nuveen municipal funds advised by the Adviser in the aggregate. The Independent Board Members also reviewed historic premium and discount levels. This information supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.
 
In reviewing peer comparison information, the Independent Board Members recognized that the Performance Peer Group of certain funds may not adequately represent the objectives and strategies of the funds, thereby limiting the usefulness of comparing a fund’s performance with that of its Performance Peer Group. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered that the Performance Peer Groups of certain funds (including the Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc. and Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund 2) were classified as having significant differences from such funds based on considerations such as special fund objectives, potential investable universe and the composition of the peer set (e.g., the number and size of competing funds and number of competing managers).
 
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s investment performance over time had been satisfactory. The Independent Board Members noted that the Nuveen California Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. generally demonstrated favorable performance in comparison to peers, performing in the top two quartiles in the one-, three- and five-year periods ending March 31, 2010. The performance of the Nuveen California Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. and the Nuveen
 
102 Nuveen Investments
 
 
 

 
 
California Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. was over time satisfactory compared to peers, falling within the second or third quartile over various periods. While the Nuveen California Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. lagged its peers somewhat in the short-term one-year period, it demonstrated more favorable performance in the longer three-and five-year periods. The Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc. underper-formed its benchmark in the three-year period but outperformed the performance of its benchmark in the one-year period. The Board Members further recognized that the Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund 2 is a relatively new fund with a performance history that is generally too short for meaningful assessment of performance. With respect to the Nuveen California Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc., although the Fund lagged its peers over various periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the one-year period.
 
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
1. Fees and Expenses
The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund reviewing, among other things, such Fund’s gross management fees, net management fees and net expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared to the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of funds based on data provided by an independent fund data provider (the “Peer Universe”) and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the Peer Universe (the “Peer Group”) and any expense limitations.
 
The Independent Board Members further reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe and/or Peer Group. In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board Members took into account that in certain instances various factors such as: the asset level of a fund relative to peers; the limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group; the investment objectives of the peers; expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe or Peer Group from year to year; levels of reimbursement; the timing of information used; the differences in the type and use of leverage; and differences in the states reflected in the Peer Universe or Peer Group may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison with peers, including, in particular, the Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc. and the Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund 2.
 
In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members also considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for certain closed-end funds launched since 1999). In their review, the Independent Board Members noted that although the Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc. and Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund 2 had net management fees above the peer average and the available peer set was limited, their net expense ratios were below or near the peer average. The Nuveen California Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. and Nuveen California Select Quality Municipal
 
Nuveen Investments 103
 
 
 

 
 
Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
 
 
Fund, Inc. had net advisory fees above the peer average, but the expense ratios were below, at or near the peer expense ratio average. The Nuveen California Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen California Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc. and Nuveen California Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. had net management fees and net expense ratios above the peer averages; however, the Board Members recognized that limited peers were available for comparison.
 
Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s management fees were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
 
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser to other clients, including municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed municipal bond exchange traded funds (ETFs) that are sub-advised by the Adviser. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other clients vary, among other things, because of the different services involved and the additional regulatory and compliance requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered the differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees.
 
3. Profitability of Nuveen
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveen’s wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen’s advisory activities for the last two years, the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2009. The Independent Board Members noted this information supplemented the profitability information requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies during the year. The Independent Board Members also
 
 
104 Nuveen Investments
 
 
 

 
 
considered Nuveen’s revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to that of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition prepared by Nuveen.
 
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser’s particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen’s methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen’s investment in its fund business. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided.
 
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to the Adviser by the Funds as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Adviser and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly attributable to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits the Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.
 
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. One method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Generally, management fees for funds in the Nuveen complex are comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as asset levels increase. Further, the Independent Board Members noted that although closed-end funds may from time-to-time make additional share offerings, the growth of their assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of such funds’ investment portfolio.
 
Nuveen Investments 105
 
 
 

 
 
Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
 
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered the Funds’ complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex are generally reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the notion that some of Nuveen’s costs are attributable to services provided to all its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are spread over a larger asset base.
 
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.
 
E. Indirect Benefits
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding potential “fall out” or ancillary benefits the Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any revenues received by affiliates of the Adviser for serving as agent at Nuveen’s trading desk and as co-manager in initial public offerings of new closed-end funds.
 
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether the Adviser received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to the Adviser in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The Independent Board Members noted that the Adviser does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless principal transactions are considered as generating “commissions,” the Adviser intends to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
 
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
 
F. Other Considerations
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

Board Approval of Sub-Advisory Arrangements (Unaudited)
 
Since the May Meeting, Nuveen has engaged in an internal restructuring (the “Restructuring”) pursuant to which the portfolio management services provided by NAM to the Funds were transferred to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM LLC”), a newly-organized wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser and the Adviser changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“NFA”). The Adviser, under its new name NFA, continues to serve as investment adviser to the Funds and, in that capacity, will continue to provide various oversight, administrative, compliance and other services. To effectuate the foregoing, NFA entered into sub-advisory agreements with NAM LLC on behalf of the Funds (each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Under each Sub-Advisory Agreement, NAM LLC, subject to the oversight of NFA and the Board, will furnish an investment program, make investment decisions for, and place all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the portion of the respective Fund’s investment portfolio allocated to it by NFA. There have been no changes to the advisory fees paid by the Funds; rather, NFA will pay a portion of the investment advisory fee it receives to NAM LLC for its sub-advisory services. The Independent Board Members reviewed the allocation of fees between NFA and NAM LLC. NFA and NAM LLC do not anticipate any reduction in the nature or level of services provided to the Funds following the Restructuring. The personnel of NFA who engaged in portfolio management activities prior to the spinoff of NAM LLC are not expected to materially change as a result of the spinoff. In light of the foregoing, at a meeting held on November 16-18, 2010, the Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, approved the Sub-Advisory Agreements on behalf of the Funds. Given that the Restructuring was not expected to reduce the level or nature of services provided and the advisory fees paid by the Funds were the same, the factors considered and determinations made at the May Meeting in approving the Advisory Agreements were equally applicable to the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Reinvest Automatically, Easily and Conveniently
 
 
Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.
 
Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan
 
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares.
 
By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested.
 
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
 
Easy and convenient
 
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
 
How shares are purchased
 
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may
 
108 Nuveen Investments
 
 
 

 
 
exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
 
Flexible
 
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change.
 
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
 
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report
 
·  
Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
 
·  
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the invest- ment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
 
·  
Average Effective Maturity: The market-value-weighted average of the effective maturity dates of the individual securities including cash. In the case of a bond that has been advance-refunded to a call date, the effective maturity is the date on which the bond is scheduled to be redeemed using the proceeds of an escrow account. In most other cases the effective maturity is the stated maturity date of the security.
 
·  
Inverse Floaters: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters, are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typi- cally also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
 
·  
Leverage: Using borrowed money to invest in securities or other assets.
 
 
110 Nuveen Investments
 
 
 

 
 
·  
Leverage-Adjusted Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond Fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or Fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the dura- tion of the Fund’s portfolio of bonds.
 
·  
Market Yield (also known as Dividend Yield or Current Yield): An investment’s current annualized dividend divided by its current market price.
 
·  
Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund’s NAV per common share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of common shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
 
·  
Pre-refunding: Pre-refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value.
 
·  
Structural Leverage: Structural Leverage consists of preferred shares or debt issued by the fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Structural leverage is sometimes referred to as “’40 Act Leverage” and is subject to asset coverage limits set in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
 
·  
Taxable-Equivalent Yield: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment.
 
·  
Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers from the Code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/CEF/Info/Shareholder. (To view the code, click on Fund Governance and then click on Code of Conduct.)

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees ("Board") determined that the registrant has at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee financial expert is Carole E. Stone, who is "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Ms. Stone served for five years as Director of the New York State Division of the Budget. As part of her role as Director, Ms. Stone was actively involved in overseeing the development of the State's operating, local assistance and capital budgets, its financial plan and related documents; overseeing the development of the State's bond-related disclosure documents and certifying that they fairly presented the State's financial position; reviewing audits of various State and local agencies and programs; and coordinating the State's system of internal audit and control. Prior to serving as Director, Ms Stone worked as a budget analyst/examiner with increasing levels of responsibility over a 30 year period, including approximately five years as Deputy Budget Director.  Ms. Stone has also served as Chair of the New York State Racing Association Oversight Board, as Chair of the Public Authorities Control Board, as a Commissioner on the New York State Commission on Public Authority Reform and as a member of the Boards of Directors of several New York State public authorities. These positions have involved overseeing operations and finances of certain entities and assessing the adequacy of project/entity financing and financial reporting. Currently, Ms. Stone is on the Board of Directors of CBOE Holdings, Inc., of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and of C2 Options Exchange. Ms. Stone's position on the boards of these entities and as a member of both CBOE Holdings' Audit Committee and its Finance Committee has involved, among other things, the oversight of audits, audit plans and preparation of financial statements.
 
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc.

The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.

The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS

(formerly Nuveen Asset Management) (the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund ("Affiliated Fund Service Provider"), for engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting, during the Fund's last two full fiscal years.
 
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund's audit is completed.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's independence.

The Adviser periodically monitors the Sub-Adviser's voting to ensure that it is carrying out its duties. The Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures are attached to this filing as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
 
Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. is the registrant's Adviser.  The Adviser is responsible for the selection and on-going monitoring of the Fund's investment portfolio, managing the Fund's business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services.  The Adviser has engaged Nuveen Asset Management, LLC as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. The following section provides information on the portfolio manager at the Sub-Adviser:
 
The Portfolio Manager

The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the registrant’s investment strategies:
 
Name
Fund
Scott R. Romans
Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc.

Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the following accounts:

Assets are as of February 28, 2011.  None of the assets in these accounts are subject to an advisory fee based on performance.
 
Compensation. Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of three basic elements—base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation to the market in order to create a compensation structure that is competitive and consistent with similar financial services companies. As discussed below, several factors are considered in determining each portfolio manager’s total compensation. In any year these factors may include, among others, the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended by the portfolio manager’s investment team, the investment performance of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM, LLC). Although investment performance is a factor in determining the portfolio manager’s compensation, it is not necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio manager’s performance is evaluated in part by comparing manager’s performance against a specified investment benchmark.  This fund-specific benchmark is a customized subset (limited to bonds in each Fund’s specific state and with certain maturity parameters) of the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index, an index comprised of bonds held by managed municipal bond fund customers of Standard & Poor’s Securities Pricing, Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund holdings aggregate at least $2 million.  As of December 31, 2010, the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was comprised of 57,308 securities with an aggregate current market value of $1,226 billion.

Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a level determined by NAM, LLC in accordance with its overall compensation strategy discussed above. NAM, LLC is not under any current contractual obligation to increase a portfolio manager’s base salary.

Cash bonus. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The level of this bonus is based upon evaluations and determinations made by each portfolio manager’s supervisors, along with reviews submitted by his peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to the NAM, LLC’s investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts, his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM, LLC’s investment process and to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its business objectives.

Long-term incentive compensation.    In connection with the acquisition of Nuveen Investments, Inc., by a group of investors lead by Madison Dearborn Partners in November 2007, certain employees, including portfolio managers, received profit interests in Nuveen’s parent.  These profit interests entitle the holders to participate in the appreciation  in the value of Nuveen beyond the issue date and vest over five to seven years, or earlier in the case of a liquidity event.  In addition, in July 2009, Nuveen Investments created and funded a trust, as part of a newly-established incentive program, which purchased shares of certain Nuveen Mutual Funds and awarded such shares, subject to vesting, to certain employees, including portfolio managers.

Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager’s simultaneous management of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and the other account. NAM, LLC, however, believes that such potential conflicts are mitigated by the fact that the NAM, LLC has adopted several policies that address potential conflicts of interest, including best execution and trade allocation policies that are designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking the best price for portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among accounts over time and (3) compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager. In addition, NAM, LLC has adopted a Code of Conduct that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest.
 
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of February 28, 2011, the portfolio manager beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities issued by the Registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by NAM’s municipal investment team.
