The value of investments in securities by Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("California"), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("Intermediate"), and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("New York") (individually a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds") is determined by Neuberger Berman Management LLC (“Management”) primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include considerations such as: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, the Funds seek to obtain quotations from principal market makers. If such quotations are not readily available, securities are valued using methods each Fund’s Board of Directors has approved on the belief that they reflect fair value. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security, including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in futures or ADRs and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding. Short-term debt securities with less than 60 days until maturity may be valued at cost which, when combined with interest earned, is expected to approximate market value. |
||
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157"), investments held by a Fund are carried at “fair value” on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments some of which are discussed above. |
|||
In addition, effective July 31, 2009, the Funds adopted FASB Staff position (“FSP”) No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. 157-4”). FSP No. 157-4 emphasizes that the objective of fair value measurement described in FAS 157 remains unchanged and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as identifying circumstances that indicate that transactions are not orderly. FSP No. 157-4 identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive and indicates that if a market is determined to be inactive and/or current market prices are reflective of “distressed sales ” significant management judgment may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with FAS 157. |
|||
In addition to defining fair value, FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below. |
|||
· |
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
||
· |
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.) |
||
· |
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
||
The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |
|||
The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of July 31, 2009: |

At time of investment, municipal securities purchased by the Funds are within the four highest rating categories (with respect to at least 80% of total assets) assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's, or Fitch Investors Services, Inc. or, where not rated, are determined by the Funds' investment manager to be of comparable quality. Approximately 73%, 61%, and 65% of the municipal securities held by California, Intermediate, and New York, respectively, have credit enhancement features backing them, which the Funds may rely on, such as letters of credit, insurance, or guarantees. Without these credit enhancement features the securities may or may not meet the quality standards of the Funds. Pre-refunded bonds are supported by securities in escrow issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. The amount escrowed is sufficient to pay the periodic interest due and the principal of these bonds. Putable bonds give the Funds the right to sell back the issue on the date specified. |
