Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board Chairman's LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Once again, I am pleased to report that over the 12-month period covered by this report your Fund continued to provide you with tax-free monthly income, as well as with an attractive total return. For more details about the management strategy and performance of your Fund, please see the Portfolio Manager's Comments and Performance Overview sections of this report. Given the rebounding strength of the economy, some market commentators are speculating about whether longer-term interest rates will soon begin to rise substantially, mirroring the rise that has taken place in shorter-term rates. If longer-term rates do begin to rise significantly, some have suggested that this would be a signal to begin adjusting your holdings of fixed-income investments.

Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board November 15, 2005 Nuveen New York Municipal Exchange-Traded Closed-End Funds (NNY, NNP, NAN, NXK) Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS Portfolio manager Paul Brennan discusses the economic and municipal market environments, key investment strategies and the performance of these four New York Funds.

WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE ANNUAL REPORTING PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005? Between October 1, 2004, and September 30, 2005, the Federal Reserve implemented eight separate 0.25% increases in the closely-followed fed funds rate. These actions, which were aimed at controlling economic growth as well as the pace of inflation, raised this short-term target from 1.75% to 3.75%, its highest point since August 2001. Most shorter-term municipal market rates also rose over this period. By comparison, longer-term interest rates rose at a much more modest pace. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note ended September 2005 at 4.33%, compared with 4.12% one year earlier. Longer-term yields in the municipal market followed a similar pattern. The yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a widely followed measure of longer-term municipal market rates, ended the reporting period at 5.04%, just two basis points higher than it was on September 30, 2004. Together, the dramatic rise in shorter-term rates and the modest increase in longer-term rates produced an overall flattening of the yield curve, which generally helped the relative performance of bonds with longer effective maturities while hindering the total return of bonds with shorter maturities or short call dates. (The yield curve is said to flatten when shorter-term interest rates more closely approach the normally higher levels of longer-term interest rates.) Despite the Fed's rate hikes and a tremendous surge in energy prices, the general economic expansion managed to maintain a fairly solid footing over this reporting period. As one measure, the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 3.3% annualized in the fourth quarter of 2004 and by annualized rates of 3.8% and 3.3% in the first and second quarters of 2005, respectively. (Third quarter GDP growth was not available at the time this report was prepared.) 4 The volatility of the energy sector during this period was reflected in the 1.2% jump in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) during September 2005, the largest monthly increase in 23 years. As of September 2005, the year-over-year increase in the CPI was 4.7%, the fastest annual pace since 1991. The employment picture remained relatively positive, with national unemployment standing at 5.1% in September 2005, down from 5.4% in September 2004. Over the 12 months ended September 2005, municipal bond supply nationwide remained strong, as $402.4 billion in new securities came to market. During the first nine months of 2005, municipal issuance totaled $309.5 billion in 10,400 issues, up 15% from the same period in 2004, putting 2005's new supply on track to exceed 2003's record $382.7 billion. A major factor behind the increase in supply was the flatter yield curve, which made advance refundings more economically attractive. During January-September 2005, refundings were 55% higher than during the same period in 2004, as issuers sought to take advantage of the current interest rate environment. (Advance refundings, also called pre-refundings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older, existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.) HOW ABOUT ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN NEW YORK? During this 12-month period, New York continued its economic recovery, led by growth in financial services, healthcare, education and tourism. Although more diversified than 10 years ago, the state's economy still remains highly dependent on the financial services sector, which makes it more susceptible to economic cycles. On the positive side, tourism has largely returned to pre-September 11, 2001, levels. However, manufacturing employment continued to decline, especially in upstate New York. As of September 2005, unemployment in New York stood at 5.2%, down from 5.6% in September 2004. As of September 2005, New York State general obligation bonds were rated A1 with a positive outlook by Moody's, AA with a stable outlook by Standard and Poor's, and AA- with a stable outlook by Fitch. In November 2004, Moody's upgraded its rating to A1 from 5 A2, citing improvement in the state's economic outlook. That rating was reconfirmed in February 2005, as was S&P's AA rating. In April 2005, Moody's also upgraded the rating on New York City GO debt to A1 from A2, and in May 2005, S&P followed suit, raising the city's rating to A+ from A. These represented the highest ratings ever given New York City by these two credit agencies, which cited the city's ability to make difficult budgetary and fiscal policy decisions in recovering from one of the most serious fiscal crises in decades. For the 12 months ended September 2005, municipal bond issuance in New York totaled $45.6 billion, an increase of 24% from the previous 12 months. During the first nine months of 2005, state issuers offered $32.1 billion in new issuance, up 30% from January-September 2004. For both time periods, New York ranked second only to California in terms of municipal issuance. According to Moody's, New York State has more outstanding tax-supported debt than any other state in the union. WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE NEW YORK FUNDS DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005? One of our priorities during this reporting period was duration management. Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates change, with longer duration bonds being more sensitive to changes and thereby presenting greater interest rate risk. Duration management became increasingly important in 2005, as the flattening of the yield curve resulted in a dramatic rise in advance refundings. Advance refunding of bonds held by the Funds generally had an immediate, positive impact on their performances, as well as a shortening effect on the Funds' durations. In order to maintain these durations within our preferred strategic range, we sold some of our holdings with shorter durations, including short-dated pre-refunded bonds, bonds that were currently callable, and bonds priced to short calls, all of which tended to underperform in the interest rate environment of the past 12 months. 6 The proceeds from the sales of these holdings were then reinvested primarily in bonds in the intermediate part of the yield curve, that is, bonds that mature in 10 to 20 years. The longer durations of these bonds enabled us to counteract some of the duration shortening caused by advance refundings and also contributed favorably to the Funds' performances during this period. In addition, selling shorter duration bonds and reinvesting in bonds further out on the yield curve with better call protection helped to improve the Funds' overall call protection profile. Overall, the ample new issue supply in New York during this period provided a number of opportunities for us to find the types of bonds we were seeking, and we actively took advantage of this situation. While our main focus was on the intermediate part of the yield curve, we also kept an opportunistic eye toward longer-term bonds with maturities between 20 and 30 years that we believed could add value to the Funds' portfolios. In addition to duration management, we also sought to maintain the Funds' exposures to lower-rated credits. Lower-rated bonds generally performed very well during this period, and as a result they proved popular with investors. While we did not find many appealing opportunities to add to our positions among these types of securities, some of those we did hold were pre-refunded during this period, which led to beneficial price gains. The majority of our purchase activity in these four Funds focused on AAA rated insured bonds, as we participated in some of the larger issues of this period, including the $2.8 billion New York State Thruway Authority offering in August 2005 and several insured New York City issues. We also added insured credits issued by Sales Tax Asset Receivable Corporation (STAR Corp.) in October 2004. The proceeds from this $2.5 billion issue are being used to refinance New York City Municipal Assistance Corporation (MAC) bonds, which were originally issued in the 1970s as part of the city's bailout plan. The bonds we purchased have maturity dates ranging from 2024 to 2029. 7 HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM? Individual results for these New York Funds, as well as for comparative indexes and peer group averages, are presented in the accompanying table. TOTAL RETURNS ON NET ASSET VALUE* For periods ended 9/30/05 1-YEAR 5-YEAR 10-YEAR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NNY1 4.95% 5.99% 5.16% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NNP 6.29% 9.27% 6.95% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAN 6.38% 9.71% NA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NXK 6.45% NA NA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lehman Brothers NY Tax-Exempt Bond Index2 3.74% 6.25% 6.18% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lipper NY Municipal Debt Funds Average3 7.97% 8.45% 7.04% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Annualized Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares. For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your Fund in this report. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2005, the total returns on net asset value (NAV) for all four of the Funds in this report exceeded the return on the Lehman Brothers New York Tax-Exempt Bond Index. Each of the Funds underperformed the average return for the Lipper New York peer group for this period. One of the primary factors benefiting the 12-month performance of NNP, NAN and NXK relative to that of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers New York index was these Funds' use of financial leverage. While leveraging can add volatility to a Fund's NAV and share price, especially during periods when interest rates rise, this strategy can also provide opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders when short-term interest rates remain relatively low and long-term rates stay relatively steady. Because it is unleveraged, NNY did not benefit from this leverage strategy, and this hampered its total return for the period relative to NNP, NAN, NXK and the peer group. 1 NNY is an unleveraged Fund; the remaining three Funds in this report are leveraged. 2 The Lehman Brothers New York Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged index comprising a broad range of investment-grade New York municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses. 3 The Lipper New York 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, 22 funds; 5 years, 11 funds; and 10 years, 9 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 8 As noted earlier, the municipal market yield curve flattened over the course of this reporting period as short-term interest rates rose dramatically and longer-term interest rates finished the 12 months about where they began. As a result, relatively heavier exposure to longer durations and the longer end of the yield curve helped the performance of NNP, NAN and NXK. The performance of NNY was hindered by the Fund's relatively greater exposure to the shorter duration bonds that were impacted negatively by the yield curve flattening. All of these Funds also benefited from their allocations of lower-quality bonds during this period, as these bonds generally outperformed other credit quality sectors. This was largely the result of the interest rate environment during this time, as investor demand for the higher yields typically associated with lower-quality bonds drove up the value of these bonds. As of September 30, 2005, allocations of bonds rated BBB and lower and non-rated bonds accounted for 11% of NAN's portfolio, 13% of NNY, 14% of NNP and 17% of NXK. Among the lower-rated credits making significant contributions to the Funds' total returns for this period were bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement. As the litigation environment improved, supply/demand dynamics drove tobacco bond prices higher. The Funds' unenhanced BBB rated tobacco holdings accounted for between 2% and 3% of the portfolios of NNY, NNP and NAN and for about 5% of NXK as of September 30, 2005. Lower-rated hospital holdings also enhanced the Funds' total returns for the period, with the healthcare sector ranked second by Lehman in terms of performance among all municipal revenue sectors for the period. Each of the four Funds also had a modest exposure to bonds issued for British Airways and/or American Airlines, which posted strong performance for the year despite turmoil in the airline industry as the result of additional bankruptcies. The value of the Nuveen New York Funds was also positively impacted during this period by Moody's November 2004 upgrade of the credit rating on New York State general obligation bonds as well as Moody's and S&P's upgrades of the ratings on New York City GO debt in April and May 2005, respectively. 9 In addition to leverage, yield curve positioning, and credit exposure, another major factor in the Funds' performances during this period was advance refundings. As mentioned earlier, refinancings rose sharply during this period, and the Funds' performances benefited from the price appreciation and enhanced credit quality associated with advance refundings. Among the Funds' holdings that were pre-refunded during this period were BBB rated tobacco bonds issued by Westchester Asset Securitization Tobacco Corporation and a BBB- rated Yonkers Inc. industrial development issue. These bonds were held by NNY, NNP and NAN. More generally, the amount and timing of an advance refunding of a holding within a portfolio had a great deal of impact on whether this event ultimately helped or hurt the Fund's overall performance over the period. Usually, a bond that was advance refunded tended to benefit from an immediate price increase as its credit quality was upgraded (because the bond is now backed by U.S. Government securities). However, that same bond - now priced as a high quality issue to a shorter final maturity - might then have underperformed lower quality issues and issues with longer final maturities over the balance of the reporting period. Therefore, the size of the holding, the credit quality boost caused by the pre-refunding and the amount of time remaining before the end of the reporting period all had an impact on the overall performance of a pre- refunded bond. HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005? We continued to believe that maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of September 30, 2005, all four of these Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from 79% in NNP and NXK to 80% in NNY and 83% in NAN. As of September 30, 2005, potential call exposure for the period from October 2005 through the end of 2007 ranged from 2% in NXK to 5% in NAN, 6% in NNP and 12% in NNY. The number of actual bond calls in all of these Funds depends largely on future market interest rates. 10 Dividend and Share Price INFORMATION All of the Funds in this report except NNY use leverage to enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. The extent of this benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates these three leveraged Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R) shareholders. During periods of low short-term rates, leveraged Funds generally pay lower dividends to their MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to support common share dividends. However, when short-term interest rates rise, as they did during this reporting period, the Funds' borrowing costs also rise. While leveraging still provided benefits for common shareholders, the extent of these benefits was reduced. This resulted in one monthly dividend reduction in NAN and NXK and two in NNP over the 12-month period ended September 30, 2005. The dividend of NNY remained stable throughout this reporting period. In addition, due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following Funds received capital gains and net ordinary income distributions at the end of December 2004 as follows: LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME (PER SHARE) (PER SHARE) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NNY $ -- $0.0012 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NNP $0.0798 $0.0021 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NXK $0.0618 $0.0006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 September 30, 2005, all of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances for both financial statement and tax purposes. 11 At the end of the reporting period, the Funds' share prices were trading at premiums or discounts to their NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart: 9/30/05 12-MONTH AVERAGE PREMIUM/DISCOUNT PREMIUM/DISCOUNT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NNY -8.04% -6.68% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NNP -2.62% -4.52% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAN +1.77% -1.17% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NXK -1.48% -2.88% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc.

NUVEEN NEW YORK PERFORMANCE PLUS MUNICIPAL FUND, INC. NUVEEN NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND NUVEEN NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND 2 We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc., Nuveen New York Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 as of September 30, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for 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 audit 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 September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The New York funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NNY), Nuveen New York Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. (NNP), Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAN) and Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NXK). All of the Funds' Common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange, with the exception of New York Dividend Advantage 2's (NXK) Common shares which trade on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies. Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and New York state income taxes by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of New York or certain U.S. territories. Effective January 1, 2005, Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC"), the Funds' previous Adviser, and its affiliate, Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC"), were merged into Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM"), each wholly owned subsidiaries of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"). As a result of the merger, NAM is now the Adviser to all funds previously advised by either NAC or NIAC. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Investment Valuation The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees. When market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular security, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish fair market value using a wide variety of market data including yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics considered relevant by the pricing service of the Board of Directors'/Trustees' designee. 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. Investment Transactions Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Investments purchased on a when-issued or 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 and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At September 30, 2005, New York Performance Plus (NNP) had outstanding delayed delivery purchase commitments of $541,616. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds. 47 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Investment Income Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any. Income Taxes Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and New York 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 September 30, 2005, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation. Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preferred Shares New York Value (NNY) is not authorized to issue Preferred shares. The Funds below have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows: NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK PERFORMANCE DIVIDEND DIVIDEND PLUS ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 (NNP) (NAN) (NXK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M 1,600 -- -- Series T 800 -- -- Series W 2,000 -- 1,880 Series TH -- -- -- Series F 572 2,760 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 4,972 2,760 1,880 ================================================================================ 48 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 year ended September 30, 2005. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Indemnifications Under the Funds' organizational documents, 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. 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. 2.

INCOME TAX INFORMATION The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. At September 30, 2005, the cost of investments was as follows: NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK PERFORMANCE DIVIDEND DIVIDEND VALUE PLUS ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 (NNY) (NNP) (NAN) (NXK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments $141,932,975 $342,395,212 $199,516,598 $135,021,784 ================================================================================ Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at September 30, 2005, were as follows: NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK PERFORMANCE DIVIDEND DIVIDEND VALUE PLUS ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 (NNY) (NNP) (NAN) (NXK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross unrealized: Appreciation $8,737,310 $22,260,949 $12,254,287 $6,793,839 Depreciation (282,629) (1,080,563) (214,093) (161,308) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investments $8,454,681 $21,180,386 $12,040,194 $6,632,531 ================================================================================ The tax components of undistributed net investment income and net realized gains at September 30, 2005, were as follows: NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK PERFORMANCE DIVIDEND DIVIDEND VALUE PLUS ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 (NNY) (NNP) (NAN) (NXK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed net tax-exempt income * $535,229 $2,747,947 $1,686,003 $1,162,793 Undistributed net ordinary income ** -- 21,435 -- 30,315 Undistributed net long-term capital gains -- 5,223,056 1,982,961 1,502,376 ================================================================================ * Undistributed net tax-exempt income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividend declared on September 1, 2005, paid on October 3, 2005. ** Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any. 50 The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows: NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK PERFORMANCE DIVIDEND DIVIDEND VALUE PLUS ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 2005 (NNY) (NNP) (NAN) (NXK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions from net tax-exempt income $6,441,278 $16,930,267 $10,302,766 $6,979,318 Distributions from net ordinary income ** 17,730 34,069 -- 3,548 Distributions from net long-term capital gains -- 1,266,695 -- 425,821 ================================================================================ NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK PERFORMANCE DIVIDEND DIVIDEND VALUE PLUS ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 2004 (NNY) (NNP) (NAN) (NXK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions from net tax-exempt income $6,531,999 $16,052,941 $9,686,993 $6,562,486 Distributions from net ordinary income ** -- 11,164 -- 5,285 Distributions from net long-term capital gains -- 3,977,775 -- 328,604 ================================================================================ ** Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any. At September 30, 2005, New York Value (NNY) had unused capital loss carryforwards of $625,199 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future capital gains, if any. If not applied the carryforwards will expire in 2012. 5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components -- a complex-level component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser. New York Value (NNY) 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 of the Fund. The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund (excluding New York Value (NNY)) is based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows: AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS (INCLUDING NET ASSETS NEW YORK PERFORMANCE PLUS (NNP) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .4500% For the next $125 million .4375 For the next $250 million .4250 For the next $500 million .4125 For the next $1 billion .4000 For the next $3 billion .3875 For net assets over $5 billion .3750 ================================================================================ 51 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NAN) (INCLUDING NET ASSETS NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 2 (NXK) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .4500% For the next $125 million .4375 For the next $250 million .4250 For the next $500 million .4125 For the next $1 billion .4000 For net assets over $2 billion .3750 ================================================================================ The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As of September 30, 2005, the complex-level fee rate was .1898%. COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) COMPLEX-LEVEL FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $55 billion .2000% For the next $1 billion .1800 For the next $1 billion .1600 For the next $3 billion .1425 For the next $3 billion .1325 For the next $3 billion .1250 For the next $5 billion .1200 For the next $5 billion .1175 For the next $15 billion .1150 For Managed Assets over $91 billion(2) .1400 ================================================================================ (1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S. (2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91 billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such time as a different rate or rates is determined. The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised Funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised Funds. 52 For the first ten years of New York Dividend Advantage's (NAN) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING JULY 31, JULY 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999* .30% 2005 .25% 2000 .30 2006 .20 2001 .30 2007 .15 2002 .30 2008 .10 2003 .30 2009 .05 2004 .30 ================================================================================ * From the commencement of operations. The Adviser has not agreed to reimburse New York Dividend Advantage (NAN) for any portion of its fees and expenses beyond July 31, 2009. For the first ten years of New York Dividend Advantage 2's (NXK) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, MARCH 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001* .30% 2007 .25% 2002 .30 2008 .20 2003 .30 2009 .15 2004 .30 2010 .10 2005 .30 2011 .05 2006 .30 ================================================================================ * From the commencement of operations. The Adviser has not agreed to reimburse New York Dividend Advantage 2 (NXK) for any portion of its fees and expenses beyond March 31, 2011. 6. ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PARENT COMPANY OF ADVISER In early April, 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul Travelers"), which owned 79% of Nuveen, (A) completed a public offering of a substantial portion of its equity stake in Nuveen, (B) sold Nuveen $200 million of its Nuveen shares, (C) entered into an agreement with Nuveen to sell an additional $400 million of its Nuveen shares on a "forward" basis with payment for and settlement of these shares delayed for several months, and (D) entered into agreements with two unaffiliated investment banking firms to sell an amount equal to most or all of its remaining Nuveen shares for current payment but for future settlement. Transactions (C) and (D) above were settled in late July, which effectively reduced St. Paul Travelers' controlling stake in Nuveen and was deemed an "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment management agreements between the Funds and the Adviser, which resulted in the automatic termination of each agreement under the 1940 Act. In anticipation of such deemed assignment, the Board of Directors/Trustees had approved new ongoing investment management agreements for each Fund and the submission of those agreements for approval by each respective Fund's shareholders, which shareholder approval was received prior to the settlement of transactions (C) and (D). The new ongoing management agreements took effect upon such settlement. 53 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 7.

THE APPROVAL PROCESS To assist the Board in its evaluation of an advisory contract with NAM, the independent Trustees received a report in adequate time in advance of their meeting which outlined, among other things, the services provided by NAM; the organization of NAM, including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel; the Fund's past performance as well as the Fund's performance compared to funds of similar investment objectives compiled by an independent third party (a "Peer Group") and if available, with recognized or, in certain cases, customized benchmarks; the profitability of NAM and certain industry profitability analyses for advisers to unaffiliated investment companies; the expenses of NAM in providing the various services; the management fees of NAM, including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of comparable funds in its Peer Group as well as comparisons of NAM's management fees with the fees NAM assesses to other types of investment products or accounts, if any; the soft dollar practices of NAM; and the expenses of each Fund, including comparisons of the Fund's expense ratios (after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its Peer Group. This information supplements that received by the Board throughout the year regarding Fund performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and sales activity. In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the independent Trustees provided, in advance of the meeting, a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Trustees under the 1940 Act as well as the general principles of relevant state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the board in voting on advisory agreements. At the Board meeting, NAM made a presentation to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials, the independent Trustees met privately with their legal counsel to review the Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider the renewal of the advisory contracts. It is with this background that the Trustees considered each Investment Management Agreement with NAM. The independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and SEC directives relating to the renewal of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by NAM; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and NAM; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by NAM and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; (d) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows; and (e) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the types of services that NAM or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Nuveen Funds; narrative and statistical information concerning the Fund's performance record and how such performance compares to the Fund's Peer Group and, if available, recognized benchmarks or, in certain cases, customized benchmarks (as described in further detail in Section B below); information describing NAM's organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel, and available resources. In the discussion of key personnel, the Trustees received materials regarding the changes or additions in personnel of NAM. The Trustees further noted the willingness of the personnel of NAM to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Trustees further considered the quality of NAM's investment process in making portfolio management decisions, including any refinements or improvements to the portfolio management processes, enhancements to technology and systems that are available to portfolio managers, and any additions of new personnel which may strengthen or expand the research and investment capabilities of NAM. In their review of advisory contracts for the fixed income funds, such as the Funds, the Trustees also noted that Nuveen won the Lipper Award for Best Fund Family: Fixed Income-Large Asset Class, for 2004. Given the Trustees' experience with the Funds, other Nuveen funds and NAM, the Trustees noted that they were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of NAM. In addition to advisory services, the independent Trustees considered the quality of the administrative or non-advisory services provided. In this regard, NAM provides the Funds with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Funds) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Fund. In addition to investment management services, NAM and its affiliates provide each Fund with a wide range of services, including: 62 preparing shareholder reports; providing daily accounting; providing quarterly financial statements; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal support (such as helping to prepare registration statements, amendments thereto and proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Fund administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Fund (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In addition, in evaluating the administrative services, the Trustees considered, in particular, NAM's policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations in light of the new SEC regulations governing compliance. The Trustees noted NAM's focus on compliance and its compliance systems. In their review, the Trustees considered, among other things, the additions of experienced personnel to NAM's compliance group and modifications and other enhancements to NAM's computer systems. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees also noted that NAM outsources certain services that cannot be replicated without significant costs or at the same level of expertise. Such outsourcing has been a beneficial and efficient use of resources by keeping expenses low while obtaining quality services. In addition to the above, in reviewing the variety of additional services that NAM or its affiliates must provide to closed-end funds, such as the Funds, the independent Trustees determined that Nuveen's commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds is particularly noteworthy. In this regard, the Trustees noted Nuveen's efforts to sponsor numerous forums for analysts and specialists regarding the various Nuveen closed-end funds, its creation of a new senior position dedicated to providing secondary market support services and enhancing communications with investors and analysts, and its advertising and media relations efforts designed to raise investor and analyst awareness of the closed-end funds. With respect to services provided to municipal funds, such as the Funds, the Trustees also noted, among other things, the enhancements NAM implemented to its municipal portfolio management processes (e.g., the increased use of benchmarks to guide and assess the performance of its portfolio managers); the implementation of a risk management program; and the various initiatives being undertaken to enhance or modify NAM's computer systems as necessary to support the innovations of the municipal investment team (such as, the ability to assess certain historical data in order to create customized benchmarks, perform attribution analysis and facilitate the use of derivatives as hedging instruments). With respect to certain of the Nuveen funds with a less seasoned portfolio, the Trustees also noted the hedging program implemented for such funds and the team responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the hedging procedures. The hedging program was designed to help maintain the applicable fund's duration within certain benchmarks. Based on their review, the Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Funds under the Investment Management Agreements were of a high level and were quite satisfactory. B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND ADVISER As previously noted, the Board received a myriad of performance information regarding each Fund and its Peer Group, if available. Among other things, the Board received materials reflecting a Fund's historic performance, the Fund's performance compared to its Peer Group and, if available, its performance compared to recognized and, in certain cases, customized benchmarks. Further, in evaluating the performance information, in certain limited instances, the Trustees noted that the closest Peer Group for a Fund still would not adequately reflect such Fund's investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Fund's performance with that of the Peer Group. For state municipal funds, such as the Funds, the performance data included, among other things, the respective Fund's performance relative to its peers. More specifically, a Fund's one-, three- and five-year total returns (as available) for the periods ending December 31, 2004 were evaluated relative to the unaffiliated funds in its respective Peer Group (including the returns of individual peers as well as the Peer Group average) as well as additional performance information with respect to all the funds in the Peer Group, subject to the following. Certain state municipal Nuveen funds do not have a corresponding Peer Group in which case their performance is measured against a state-specific municipal index compiled by an independent third party. Such indices measure bond performance rather than fund performance. The closed-end funds that utilize such indices are from Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that each Fund's absolute and relative investment performance over time had been satisfactory. C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY 1. FEES AND EXPENSES In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Fund is expected to bear, the Trustees considered the Fund's current management fee structure and the Fund's expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared with the fees and expense ratios of the unaffiliated funds in its Peer Group. The Trustees reviewed the financial information of NAM, including its respective revenues, expenses and profitability. In reviewing fees, the Trustees, among other things, reviewed comparisons of the Fund's gross management fees (fees after fund-level and complex-wide level breakpoints but before reimbursements and fee waivers), net management fees (after breakpoints and reimbursements and fee waivers) and total expense ratios (before and after waivers) with those of the unaffiliated funds in the Peer Group and peer averages. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the relative ranking of the Nuveen funds on fees and expenses was aided by the significant level of fee reductions provided by the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules, and the fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen for certain funds launched since 1999. The complex-wide breakpoint schedule was instituted in 2004 and is described in further detail below in Section D entitled "Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect these Economies of Scale." In their review of the fee and expense information provided, including, in particular, the expense ratios of the unaffiliated funds in the respective Peer Group, the Trustees determined that each Fund's net total expense ratio was within an acceptable range compared to such peers. 63 ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT APPROVAL PROCESS (continued) 2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS The Trustees further compared the fees of NAM to the fees NAM assessed for other types of clients investing in municipal funds (such as municipal managed accounts). With respect to such separately managed accounts, the advisory fees for such accounts are generally lower than those charged to the comparable Fund. The Trustees noted, however, the additional services that are provided and the costs incurred by Nuveen in managing and operating registered investment companies, such as the Funds, compared to individually managed separate accounts. For instance, as described above, NAM and its affiliates provide numerous services to the Funds including, but not limited to, preparing shareholder reports; providing daily accounting; preparing quarterly financial statements; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal support; and administering all other aspects of the Fund's operations. Further, the Trustees noted the increased compliance requirements for funds in light of new SEC regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts. In addition to the differences in services, the Trustees also considered, among other things, the differences in product distribution, investment policies, investor profiles and account sizes. Accordingly, the Trustees believe that the nature and number of services provided to operate a Fund merit the higher fees than those to separate managed accounts. 3. PROFITABILITY OF ADVISER In conjunction with its review of fees, the Trustees also considered NAM's profitability. The Trustees reviewed NAM's revenues, expenses and profitability margins (on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis). In reviewing profitability, the Trustees recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of allocating expenses. Accordingly, the Trustees reviewed NAM's assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard, the methods of allocation used appeared reasonable but the Board noted the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Trustees also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisers is generally not publicly available. Further, profitability may be affected by numerous factors including the types of funds managed, expense allocations, business mix, etc. and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Trustees considered NAM's profit margin compared to the profitability of various publicly-traded investment management companies and/or investment management companies that publicly disclose some or all of their financial results compiled by three independent third-party service providers. The Trustees also reviewed the revenues, expenses and profit margins of various unaffiliated advisory firms with similar amounts of assets under management for the last year prepared by NAM. Based on their review, the Trustees were satisfied that NAM's level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was reasonable in light of the services provided. In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Trustees also considered any other revenues paid to NAM as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) NAM and its affiliates are expected to receive that are directly attributable to their management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of the applicable Fund, the Trustees 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 In reviewing the compensation, the Trustees have long understood the benefits of economies of scale as the assets of a fund grow and have sought to ensure that shareholders share in these benefits. One method for shareholders to share in economies of scale is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce fees as fund assets grow. Accordingly, the Trustees received and reviewed the schedules of advisory fees for each Fund, including fund-level breakpoints thereto. In addition, after lengthy negotiations with management, the Board in May 2004 approved a complex-wide fee arrangement pursuant to which fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds, are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement was introduced on August 1, 2004 and the Trustees reviewed data regarding the reductions of fees for the Funds for the period of August 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004. In evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Trustees considered, among other things, the historic and expected fee savings to shareholders as assets grow, the amount of fee reductions at various asset levels, and that the arrangement would extend to all Funds in the Nuveen complex. The Trustees also considered the impact, if any, the complex-wide fee arrangement may have on the level of services provided. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the breakpoint schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement currently was acceptable and desirable in providing benefits from economies of scale to shareholders. 64 E. INDIRECT BENEFITS In evaluating fees, the Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or profits NAM or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Trustees considered any benefits from soft dollar arrangements. The Trustees noted that although NAM manages a large amount of assets, it has very little, if any, brokerage to allocate. This is due to the fact that NAM typically manages the portfolios of the municipal funds in the Nuveen complex and municipal bonds generally trade on a principal basis. Accordingly, NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements and does not pay excess brokerage commissions (or spreads on principal transactions) in order to receive research services. In addition to soft dollar arrangements, the Trustees also considered any other revenues, if any, received by NAM or its affiliates. With respect to Funds with outstanding preferred shares and new Funds, the Trustees considered revenues received by Nuveen for serving as agent for broker-dealers at its preferred trading desk and for acting as co-manager in the initial public offering of new closed-end exchange-traded funds. F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Nuveen, until recently, was a majority-owned subsidiary of St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). As noted, St. Paul earlier this year announced its intention to divest its equity stake in Nuveen. Nuveen is the parent of NAM. Pursuant to a series of transactions, St. Paul had begun to reduce its interest in Nuveen which would ultimately result in a change of control of Nuveen and therefore NAM. As mandated by the 1940 Act, such a change in control would result in an assignment of the advisory agreement with NAM and the automatic termination of such agreement. Accordingly, the Board also considered for each Fund the approval of a New Investment Management Agreement with each Fund in light of, and which would take effect upon, the anticipated change of control. More specifically, the Board considered for each Fund a New Investment Management Agreement on substantially identical terms to the existing Investment Management Agreement, to take effect after the change of control has occurred and the contract has been approved by Fund shareholders. In its review, the Board considered whether the various transactions necessary to divest St. Paul's interest will have an impact on the various factors they considered in approving NAM, such as the scope and quality of services to be provided following the change of control. In reviewing the St. Paul transactions, the Board considered, among other things, the impact, if any, on the operations and organizational structure of NAM; the possible benefits and costs of the transactions to the respective Fund; the potential implications of any arrangements used by Nuveen to finance certain of the transactions; the ability of NAM to perform its duties after the transactions; whether a Fund's fee structure or expense ratio would change; any changes to the current practices of the respective Fund; any changes to the terms of the advisory agreement; and any anticipated changes to the operations of NAM. Based on its review, the Board determined that St. Paul's divestiture would not affect the nature and quality of services provided by NAM, the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, including the fees thereunder, and would not materially affect the organization or operations of NAM. Accordingly, the Board determined that their analysis of the various factors regarding their approval of NAM would continue to apply after the change of control. G. APPROVAL The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements were fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund, that the renewal of the NAM Investment Management Agreements should be approved, and that the new, post-change of control NAM Investment Management Agreements be approved and recommended to shareholders. 65 Reinvest Automatically EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY Sidebar text: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. EASY AND CONVENIENT To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own. HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions. FLEXIBLE You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

("St. Paul Travelers") sold the majority of its controlling equity interest in Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen") to the general public. Nuveen is the parent of Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM"), which is each Fund's investment manager. This sale was deemed to be an "assignment" of the investment management agreement between each Fund and NAM and, if applicable, of the sub-advisory agreement between NAM and the Fund's sub-adviser. As required by law, the shareholders of each Fund were asked to approve a new investment management agreement and, if applicable, a new subadvisory agreement that reflected this change in ownership. The shareholders of each Fund voted this approval at a Shareholders' Meeting on July 26, 2005. There were no changes to the investment objectives or management of any Fund as a result of these actions. QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS AND PROXY VOTING INFORMATION Each Fund's (i) quarterly portfolio of investments, (ii) information regarding how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2005, and (iii) a description of the policies and procedures that the Funds used to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are available without charge, upon request, by calling Nuveen Investments toll-free at (800) 257-8787 or on Nuveen's website at www.nuveen.com.

CEO CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE Each Fund's Chief Executive Officer has submitted to the New York Stock Exchange the annual CEO certification as required by Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Each Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the certification of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered. AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions. LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the 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 duration of the Fund's portfolio of bonds. MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market price. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment. BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES Robert P.

Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 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 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 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).

The above "Tax Fees" were billed for professional services for tax advice, tax compliance, and tax planning. (1) The "All Other Fees Billed to Fund" for September 30, 2004 have been revised. SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with NAM ("Control Affiliate") 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. 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's independence.

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 the next audit committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000. ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS. The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees has a separately designated audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). The members of the audit committee are Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, William J. Schneider and Eugene S. Sunshine. ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS. See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1. ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
