Sidebar text: WE THINK THAT MUNICIPAL BOND INVESTMENTS LIKE YOUR NUVEEN FUND CAN
BE IMPORTANT BUILDING BLOCKS IN A WELL-BALANCED PORTFOLIO.
Dear
SHAREHOLDER
I am very pleased to report that for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004, your
Nuveen Fund continued to provide you with attractive monthly tax-free income.
While tax-free income is always welcome, we know that many shareholders are
beginning to wonder whether interest rates will rise significantly, and whether
that possibility should cause them to adjust that portion of their investment
portfolios allocated to tax-free municipal bonds. We believe this is a question
you should consider carefully with the help of a trusted financial advisor. In
many cases, it may be more appropriate to focus on long-term goals and
objectives rather than shorter-term market movements, and this is where a
professional advisor may be able to help keep you focused on the larger
objectives of your investment program.
As you read through this report, please review the inside front cover and
consider receiving future Fund reports and other Fund information by e-mail and
the Internet. Not only will you be able to receive the information faster, but
this also may help lower your Fund's expenses. Sign up is quick and easy.
Since 1898, Nuveen Investments has offered financial products and solutions that
incorporate careful research, diversification and the application of
conservative risk-management principles. We are grateful that you have chosen us
as a partner as you pursue your financial goals. We look forward to continuing
to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger

Nuveen Georgia and North Carolina Municipal Closed-End Exchange-Traded Funds
(NPG, NZX, NKG, NNC, NRB, NNO, NII)
Portfolio Managers'
COMMENTS
Portfolio managers Dan Solender and Cathryn Steeves review the market
environment, key investment strategies and performance of these Nuveen Funds.
Dan, who has 12 years of investment experience, including 8 years with Nuveen,
assumed portfolio management responsibility for the Georgia (NPG, NZX, and NKG)
and North Carolina (NNC, NRB, NNO, NII) Funds in November 2003. In February
2004, he turned over responsibility for the North Carolina Funds to Cathryn, who
has been with Nuveen since 1996.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE 12-MONTH
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2004?
During this reporting period, the U.S. economy demonstrated growing evidence of
improvement in such key areas as employment, capital spending and industrial
production. Indeed, during the third quarter of last year, the U.S. gross
domestic product grew at an annualized rate of 8.2%, more than double the second
quarter's performance and the fastest annualized quarterly growth rate in nearly
20 years. Although this rapid pace was not considered sustainable, the economy
continued to turn in steady performance for the rest of the 12-month reporting
period, expanding by an annualized 4.1% in the fourth quarter of 2003 and an
annualized 3.9% in the first three months of 2004.
Inflation also showed some signs of acceleration, driven mainly by higher energy
and transportation costs, with the Consumer Price Index rising at a 5.1% rate
(annualized) during the first five months of 2004. The combination of economic
momentum and growing inflation concerns served as a catalyst for heightened
volatility in the fixed-income markets. Although short-term interest rates
remained at or near historical lows throughout this 12-month period, the
long-term bond markets, including the municipal market, were increasingly driven
by expectations that the Federal Reserve would move to increase interest rates
and by speculation over the timing and extent of those increases. As one
example, the yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a widely followed
municipal bond index, rose from 4.83% at the beginning of the period to 5.50% by
the middle of August 2003. The index yield then fell steadily over the next
seven months to reach 4.73% by the middle of March 2004, before rising to 5.36%
by the end of the reporting period.
In general, municipal supply nationwide remained strong over the 12-month
reporting period, with $384.8 billion in new bonds coming to market. This
represented an increase of 2% over the preceding 12-month period. However, the
pace of issuance slowed toward the end, with $147.8 billion in new municipal
supply during the first five months of 2004, down 6% from January-May 2003. In
May 2004 alone, volume decreased 9% from one year earlier.
HOW ABOUT ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA AND NORTH CAROLINA?
Despite the persistent decline in textile, paper and nondurable goods
manufacturing in Georgia, the state's economy has begun to generate positive
employment numbers, with improvements in the services sector, construction, and
leisure and hospitality industries. Atlanta has reemerged as the primary growth
driver for the state, while the expansion of Savannah's port facilities has
triggered new investment there. As of May 2004, unemployment in Georgia was
3.9%, down from 4.8% a year earlier and well below the national average of 5.6%.
During the 12-month reporting period ended May 2004, Georgia issued $6.5 billion
in new municipal bonds, an increase of 20% over the previous 12-month period. As
of May 2004, Georgia's general obligation debt continued to be rated Aaa/AAA,
with a stable outlook, by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively.
2
North Carolina's economy began to emerge from recession in late 2003. The
state's services sector continued to be a major growth driver, while healthcare,
tourism and financial services also added jobs. North Carolina remained an
important high-tech research center, which should continue to attract investment
over the long term. Furniture, apparel and textile manufacturing--which have
been hurt by increasing imports and the shift to overseas production--remained
the primary drag on the state's economy and accounted for the loss of 100,000
jobs since 2000. As of May 2004, unemployment in North Carolina had declined to
5.3% from 6.5% in May 2003. During the recession, the state continued to rely on
nonrecurring sources to fund expenditures, depleting its rainy day fund. Now in
the early stages of recovery, North Carolina has been slowly restoring balance
to its fiscal operations. State issuance of new municipal bonds for the 12
months ended May 2004 totaled $7.0 billion, down 6% from the previous 12 months.
As of May 31, 2004, the state maintained its Aa1/AAA ratings, with stable
outlooks, from Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively.
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE FUNDS DURING
THE 12 MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2004?
As the market continued to anticipate rising interest rates, our major focus
during this reporting period remained on trying to mitigate some of the interest
rate risk inherent in each Fund's portfolio. Interest rate risk is the risk that
the value of a Fund's portfolio will decline if market interest rates rise
(since bond prices move in the opposite direction of interest rates). Since
longer-term bonds often carry more interest rate risk that intermediate-term or
short-term bonds, we concentrated on finding attractive securities with
defensive structures in the long-intermediate part of the yield curve (i.e.,
bonds that mature in 15 to 20 years). In many cases, bonds in this part of the
curve offered yields similar to those of longer-term bonds with less inherent
interest rate risk and greater total return potential.
Finding attractive issues became harder as the period progressed and the pace of
new issuance declined. We focused largely on buying AAA rated bonds because
there was virtually no supply of lower-rated investment-grade securities. Also,
the relatively low supply of BBB rated bonds in Georgia led to increases in
their prices, which often made them less attractive.
In the North Carolina Funds, our overall goal was to reduce the Funds' exposure
to bonds with longer maturities and lower coupons, which we believed would
likely underperform the market in a rising interest rate environment. Among the
issues we sold from NNC were insured Raleigh Durham Airport bonds maturing in
2031. From NRB we sold some University of North Carolina bonds maturing in 2028.
Some of the proceeds from these sales were reinvested in North Carolina general
obligation bonds and in Davidson County COPs.

Individual results for the Funds, as well as for relevant benchmarks, are

For the 12 months ended May 31, 2004, the total returns on net asset value (NAV)
for all of the Funds in this report underperformed the return on the unleveraged
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. NPG and NNC outperformed the Lipper Other
States category average, and NRB performed roughly in line with this measure.
NZX, NKG, NNO and NII underperformed the Lipper average.
1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged
national index comprising a broad range of investment-grade municipal
bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses.
2 The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category average is calculated
using the returns of all closed-end exchange-traded funds in this category
for each period as follows: 1 year, (44 funds); 5 years, (19 funds); and 10
years, (17 funds). Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of
dividends.
3
One of the primary factors affecting the 12-month performances of each of these
Funds' compared with that of the unleveraged Lehman index was the Funds' use of
leverage. Leveraging can provide opportunities for additional income and total
return for common shareholders, but it is a strategy that adds volatility to the
Funds' NAVs and share prices, especially when interest rates move significantly.
While each of these Funds was able to generate additional income over this
period through its use of leverage, rising interest rates caused larger declines
in each Fund's NAV than would have been the case had the Fund not used leverage.
This had a direct and negative effect on total returns over this period. NKG and
NII also had a relatively long leverage-adjusted durations (see the inside back
cover for a definition). As bond yields rose and prices fell, especially late in
the period, bonds and funds with longer durations generally tended to
underperform.
Other holdings that generally had a negative impact on the Funds' performances
during this period of rising yields included lower coupon bonds, with relatively
long maturities, which tend to perform poorly in a down market, and insured
bonds, which underperformed the market as a whole during this 12-month period.
NKG, NZX, NNO and NII had larger holdings in these types of bonds.
On the positive side, the Funds' performances were helped by their positions of
lower-rated bonds, which outperformed other credit quality sectors as the
economy improved and investors' demand for lower rated bonds increased. NPG, for
example, benefited from having approximately 3% of its portfolio in bonds rated
BB+ issued by Effingham County for Georgia-Pacific, which contributed 65 basis
points to the Fund's total return.
The Funds' holdings in the housing sector, especially multifamily housing, also
generally made positive contributions to their total returns. Among these seven
Funds, NPG had the heaviest weighting of multifamily housing bonds, at 15% of
its portfolio. In addition, the returns of NPG, NZX, NKG and NII were helped
over this period by their holdings of bonds backed by revenues from the 1998
master tobacco settlement agreement.
All of the North Carolina Funds also saw good performance from their holdings in
the industrial development resource sector, which ranked first in terms of
returns among the Lehman municipal revenue sectors during this period. These
holdings in NRB included bonds issued by Columbus County for International Paper
Company. NNO held bonds issued by North Carolina Municipal Power Agency/Catawba,
and NII owned bonds issued by Martin County for Weyerhaeuser Company.
HOW ABOUT THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES?
With short-term interest rates remaining at historically low levels during this
reporting period, the leveraged structures of these seven Funds continued to
support their dividend-paying capabilities. The extent of this benefit is tied
in part to the short-term rates the Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R)
shareholders. During periods of low short-term rates, the Funds generally pay
relatively lower dividends to their MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave
more earnings to support common share dividends. During this reporting period,
this strategy enabled us to implement two dividend increases in NNO and one
increase in NPG, NZX, NNC and NRB, maintain the dividend levels of NKG and NII.
All of these Funds seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each
Fund's past results and projected future performance. During certain periods,
each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount
of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a
Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the
excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the
Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of
its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in
the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income
as dividends to shareholders. As of May 31, 2004, NPG, NZX, NNC, NRB and NNO had
positive UNII balances, while NKG and NII had negative UNII balances.
4
NPG, NNC and NRB were trading at premiums to their net asset values as of May
31, 2004. The other four Funds were trading at discounts. As of the end of the
fiscal year, all seven Funds were trading at smaller premiums or greater
discounts than their average premium or discount over the course of the 12-month
period.
HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AS OF MAY 31, 2004?
Given the current geopolitical and economic climate, we continued to believe
that maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of the
end of May 2004, all seven of these Funds continued to offer excellent credit
quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from
93% in NKG to 92% in NII, 85% in NRB, 84% in NNO, 83% in NPG and NZX, and 77% in
NNC.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The state Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding
Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Georgia Premium Income Municipal
Fund (NPG), Nuveen Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NZX), Nuveen
Georgia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NKG), Nuveen North Carolina Premium
Income Municipal Fund (NNC), Nuveen North Carolina Dividend Advantage Municipal
Fund (NRB), Nuveen North Carolina Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NNO) and
Nuveen North Carolina Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NII). Common shares
of Georgia Premium Income (NPG), Georgia Dividend Advantage (NZX), Georgia
Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG), North Carolina Dividend Advantage (NRB), North
Carolina Dividend Advantage 2 (NNO) and North Carolina Dividend Advantage 3
(NII) are traded on the American Stock Exchange while Common shares of North
Carolina Premium Income (NNC) is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The
Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
closed-end management investment companies.
Prior to the commencement of operations of Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG)
and North Carolina Dividend Advantage 3 (NII), each Fund had no operations other
than those related to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution
of $100,275 per Fund by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., and the recording of the organization
expenses ($11,500 per Fund) and their reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, LLC,
also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio
of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within
a single state.
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.
Securities Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. When price quotes
are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities),
the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields or prices of
municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and
rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated
cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. If it is determined that
market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of
Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the
security. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand
features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates market value.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to
market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At May 31, 2004, North
Carolina Premium Income (NNC), North Carolina Dividend Advantage 2 (NNO) and
North Carolina Dividend Advantage 3 (NII) had outstanding delayed delivery
purchase commitments of $513,535, $1,027,070 and $513,535, respectively. There
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment
income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable
interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and
designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed
to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly tax-exempt income dividends paid
during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004, have been designated Exempt Interest
Dividends.
40
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually.
Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed
available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares.
Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one Series. The dividend rate on each
Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process
by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of each rate period. The
number of Preferred shares outstanding for each Fund is as follows:

Effective November 15, 2002, Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) issued 1,320
Series F, $25,000 stated value Preferred shares.
Effective November 15, 2002, North Carolina Dividend Advantage 3 (NII) issued
1,120 Series W, $25,000 stated value Preferred shares.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments including
futures, forward, swap and option contracts, and other financial instruments
with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in
such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any
such investments during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.
Offering Costs
Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to pay all Common share offering costs (other
than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Georgia Dividend
Advantage 2 (NKG) and North Carolina Dividend Advantage 3 (NII). Georgia
Dividend Advantage 2's (NKG) and North Carolina Dividend Advantage 3's (NII)
share of Common share offering costs ($136,200 and $117,375, respectively) were
recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of Common shares.
Costs incurred by Georgia Dividend Advantage 2 (NKG) and North Carolina Dividend
Advantage 3 (NII) in connection with their offering of Preferred shares
($792,285 and $691,675, respectively) were recorded as a reduction to paid-in
surplus.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, its Officers and 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the
Adviser or to their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees
has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables
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.
As approved by the Board of Trustees, a complex-wide fee schedule for all Funds
managed by the Adviser and its affiliates will go into effect on August 1, 2004.
The implementation of this complex-wide fee schedule is expected to result in a
marginal immediate decrease in the rate at which management fees are to be paid
by the Funds. As assets in the Nuveen Fund complex, grow, the management fee
rates to be paid by the Funds will decrease further. Under no circumstances will
the complex-wide fee schedule result in an increase in the rate at which
management fees would be paid by the Funds if the complex-wide fee schedule were
not implemented.

Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net

Build Your Wealth
AUTOMATICALLY
Sidebar text: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET
UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest
dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset
value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends
and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally
be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on
dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of
shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price
per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the
acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid
in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage
commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These
commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
FLEXIBILITY
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.
For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in
or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800)
257-8787.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It
expresses the return (including change in NAV and reinvested dividends) that
would have been necessary on an annual basis to equal the investment's actual
performance over the time period being considered.
Average Effective Maturity: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a
fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (the date the
security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not
account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions.
Leverage-Adjusted Duration: Duration is a measure of a bond or bond fund's
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer a bond or fund's
duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates
change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for
a Fund and therefore is generally longer than the duration of the actual
portfolio of individual bonds that make up the Fund.
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 is calculated by subtracting the liabilities
of the fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number
of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
Taxable-Equivalent Yield: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to
equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment.
---------
Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in
the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares
were repurchased during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004. Any future
repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual
report.

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. The registrant has posted such code of
ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/etf.
ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
During the reporting period, the registrant's board of directors determined that
the registrant had 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 for the reporting period was William E. Bennett, who
was "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Although Mr. Bennett served as the audit committee financial expert for part of
reporting period, he unexpectedly resigned from the Board effective April 30,
2004. Since that time, the Audit Committee determined that Jack B. Evans, the
Chairman of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an audit committee financial
expert and recommended to the full Board that he be designated as such. On July
26, 2004, the full Board voted to so designate Mr. Evans.
Mr. Bennett was formerly Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of
First Chicago Corporation and its principal subsidiary, The First National Bank
of Chicago. As part of his role as Chief Credit Officer, Mr. Bennett set policy
as to accrual of assets/loans; designated performing/non-performing assets; set
the level of reserves against the credit portfolo; and determined the carrying
value of credit related assets and exposure. Among other things, Mr. Bennett was
also responsible for the oversight of the internal analysis function including
setting ground rules for the review and preparation of financial analysis and
financial statements for use in making credit and risk decisions for financial
analysis and financial statements for use in making credit and risk decisions
for clients. Mr. Bennett has significant experience reviewing, analyzing and
evaluating financial statements of domestic and international companies in a
variety of industries with complex accounting issues.

FORM N-CSR DISCLOSURE RE: AUDIT FEES
The following table shows 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 entered into on or after May 6, 2003, 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 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).

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. For
engagements entered into on or after May 6, 2003, 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 de minimis 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 independence.

to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund
Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the
Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent
accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to
operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i)
pre-approved by the audit committee if they are expected to be for amounts
greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the audit committee chairman for his
verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under
$10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the audit committee at

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.
Not applicable at this time.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
Not applicable at this time.
ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer held by the Fund were to issue a proxy
or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security,
NAC would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy
should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the
instructions, of the Fund's Board of Directors or Trustees or its
representative. In the case of a conflict of interest, the proxy would be
submitted to the applicable Fund's Board to determine how the proxy should be
voted. A member of the Adviser's legal department would oversee the
administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in
accordance with Rule 204-2(c)(2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (17
CFR 275.204-2(c)(2)), reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the
results were provided to the Board of Directors or Trustees and made available
to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
ITEM 8. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT
COMPANY AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS.
Not applicable at this time.
ITEM 9. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the nominating and governance committee
receives suggestions from various sources, including shareholders, as to
suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing to Lorna Ferguson,
Vice President for Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, IL 60606. The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate
standards and requirements for nominations for new directors and reserves the
right to interview all candidates and to make the final selection of any new
directors.
ITEM 10. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) The registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the
registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act") (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within
90 days of the filing date of this report that includes the disclosure
required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of the controls
and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR
