PIMCO Municipal Income Funds III Letter to Shareholders
|
November 18, 2005
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide you with the annual report for PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III, PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund III and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund III (PIMCO Municipal Income Funds III or the Funds) for the year ended September 30, 2005.
During the reporting period, interest rates on the short-end of the municipal yield curve rose as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued its interest rate tightening cycle. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by a total of two percentage points to 3.75% during the period. Yields on longer-term municipal bonds declined during the period, boosting their performance relative to short-term issues.
Please refer to the following pages for specific information for each of the PIMCO Municipal Income Funds III. If you have any questions regarding the information provided, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor or call the Funds transfer agent at (800) 331-1710. Also, note that a wide range of information and resources can be accessed through our web sitewww.allianzinvestors.com.
Together with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, the Funds investment manager and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, the Funds sub-adviser, we thank you for investing with us.
We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.
Sincerely,
|
|
|
|
|

Past performance is no
guarantee of future results. Total return is
calculated by subtracting the value of an investment in the Fund at the
beginning of each specified period from the value at the end of the period and
dividing the remainder by the value of the investment at the beginning of the
period and expressing the result as a percentage. The calculation assumes that
all income dividends have been reinvested at prices obtained under the
Funds dividend reinvestment plan. Total return does not reflect broker
commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of more than one year
represents the average annual total return. |
An investment in the Fund involves
risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, price, yield and net asset
value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided
for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. A portion of the
income generated by the Fund may be subject to federal, state and local taxes,
and may at times be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Closed-end funds,
unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public
offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open
market through a stock exchange. Net asset value is total assets applicable to
common shareholders less total liabilities divided by the number of common
shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(3) |
Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend to common shareholders by the market price per common share at September 30, 2005. |

("Allianz Global"). Allianz Global is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz AG. The Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value common stock authorized.
Municipal III invests substantially all of its assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds, the interest from which is exempt from federal income taxes. California Municipal III invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that is exempt from federal and California state income taxes. New York Municipal III invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that is exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes. The Funds will seek to avoid bonds generating interest income which could potentially subject individuals to alternative minimum tax. The issuers' abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific state or region.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds based upon events that have not yet been asserted. However, the Funds expect the risk of any loss to be remote.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security may be fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds' investments are valued daily by an independent pricing service. The independent pricing service uses information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Exchange traded options and futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. The Funds' net asset values are determined daily at the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange.
(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Original issue discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized daily to non-taxable interest income. Market discount, if any, is accreted daily to taxable income.
(c) Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing substantially all of their taxable ordinary income and long-term capital gains, if any, during each calendar year, the Funds intend not to be subject to U.S. federal excise tax.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Dividends and Distributions Common Stock
The Funds declare dividends from net investment income monthly to common shareholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Each Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions of paid-in capital in excess of par.
(e) Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities, equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
(f) Option Transactions
The Funds may purchase and write (sell) put and call options for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategy. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options is decreased by the premiums paid.
When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing a security at a price different from the current market.
(g) Residual Interest Municipal Bonds ("Ribs")/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds ("RITES")
The Funds invest in RIBS and RITES whose interest rates bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. RIBS and RITES are created by dividing the income stream provided by the underlying bonds to create two securities, one short-term and one long-term. The interest rate on the short-term component is reset by an index or auction process normally every seven to 35 days. After income is paid on the short-term securities at current rates, the residual income from the underlying bond(s) goes to the long-term securities. Therefore, rising short-term interest rates result in lower income for the longer-term portion, and visa versa. The longer-term bonds may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity. Investments in RIBS and RITES typically will involve greater risk than an investment in a fixed-rate bond.
(h) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions
The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. The transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place

to Financial Statements |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security on a delayed-delivery basis is sold, the Fund do not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
(i) Custody Credits Earned on Cash Balances
The Funds benefit from an expense offset arrangement with their custodian bank whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they would have generated income for the Funds.
2. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser
Each Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the Agreements) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision by each Funds Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, each Funds investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.65% of each Funds average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding. In order to reduce each Funds expenses, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment management fee for each Fund at the annual rate of 0.15% of each Funds average daily net assets, including net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding, from the commencement of operations through October 31, 2007, and for a declining amount thereafter through October 31, 2009.
The Investment Manager has retained its affiliate, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the Sub-Adviser) to manage each Funds investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser makes all investment decisions for the Funds. The Investment Manager, not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services, at the maximum annual rate of 0.50% of each Funds average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding. The Sub-Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the fees it is entitled to receive from the Investment Manager, such that the Sub-Adviser will receive 0.26% of each Funds average daily net assets, including net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding, from the commencement of the Funds operations through October 31, 2007, and will receive an increasing amount not to exceed 0.50% of each Funds average daily net assets, including net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding thereafter through October 31, 2009. The Investment Manager informed the Funds that it paid the Sub-Adviser $1,885,356, $1,290,428 and $333,472 in connection with sub-advisory services for Municipal III, California Municipal III, and New York Municipal III, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 2005.

7. Legal Proceedings
On September 13, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager) and certain of its affiliates (the Affiliates) had agreed to a settlement of charges that they and certain of their officers had, among other things, violated various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with an alleged market-timing arrangement involving trading of shares of certain open-end investment companies (open-end funds) advised or distributed by these certain affiliates. In their settlement with the SEC, the Affiliates consented to the entry of an order by the SEC and, without admitting or denying the findings contained in the order, agreed to implement certain compliance and governance changes and consented to cease-and-desist orders and censures. In addition, the Affiliates agreed to pay civil money
9.30.05 | PIMCO Municipal Income Funds III Annual Report 33 |
PIMCO
Municipal Income Funds III Notes to
Financial Statements |
7. Legal Proceedings (continued)
penalties in the aggregate amount of $40 million and to pay disgorgement in the amount of $10 million, for an aggregate payment of $50 million. In connection with the settlement, the Affiliates have been dismissed from the related complaint the SEC filed on May 6, 2004 in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York. Neither the complaint nor the order alleges any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
In a related action on June 1, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (NJAG) announced that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (formerly, Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P.) (AGI), an indirect parent of the Investment Manager and the Affiliates, in connection with a complaint filed by the NJAG on February 17, 2004. In the settlement, AGI and other named affiliates neither admitted nor denied the allegations or conclusions of law, but did agree to pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further potential enforcement initiatives against unrelated parties. They also undertook to implement certain governance changes. The complaint relating to the settlement contained allegations arising out of the same matters that were the subject of the SEC order regarding market-timing described above and does not allege any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
On September 15, 2004, the SEC announced that the Affiliates had agreed to settle an enforcement action in connection with charges that they violated various antifraud and other provisions of federal securities laws as a result of, among other things, their failure to disclose to the board of trustees and shareholders of various open-end funds advised or distributed by the Affiliates material facts and conflicts of interest that arose from their use of brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions to pay for so-called shelf space arrangements with certain broker-dealers. In their settlement with the SEC, the Affiliates consented to the entry of an order by the SEC without admitting or denying the findings contained in the order. In connection with the settlement, the Affiliates agreed to undertake certain compliance and disclosure reforms and consented to cease-and-desist orders and censures. In addition, the Affiliates agreed to pay a civil money penalty of $5 million and to pay disgorgement of approximately $6.6 million based upon the aggregate amount of brokerage commissions alleged to have been paid by such open-end funds in connection with these shelf-space arrangements (and related interest). In a related action, the California Attorney General announced on September 15, 2004 that it had entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Investment Manager in resolution of an investigation into matters that are similar to those discussed in the SEC order. The settlement agreement resolves matters described in a complaint filed contemporaneously by the California Attorney General in the Superior Court of the State of California alleging, among other things that this affiliate violated certain antifraud provisions of California law by failing to disclose matters related to the shelf-space arrangements described above. In the settlement agreement, the affiliate did not admit to any liability but agreed to pay $5 million in civil penalties and $4 million in recognition of the California Attorney Generals fees and costs associated with the investigation and related matters. Neither the SEC order nor the California Attorney Generals complaint alleges any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
On April 11, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia (the West Virginia Complaint) against the Investment Manager and certain of its Affiliates based on the same circumstances as those cited in the 2004 settlements with the SEC and NJAG involving alleged market timing activities described above. The West Virginia Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Investment Manager and certain of its Affiliates improperly allowed broker-dealers, hedge funds and investment advisers to engage in frequent trading of various open-end funds advised or distributed by the Affiliates in violation of the funds stated restrictions on market timing. The West Virginia Complaint also names numerous other defendants unaffiliated with the Affiliates in separate claims alleging improper market timing and/or late trading of open-end investment companies advised or distributed by such other defendants. The Investment Manager, its Affiliates and the unaffiliated mutual fund defendants removed the proceeding to federal court and are seeking to transfer the action to the Multi-District Litigation currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, which is described below. The West Virginia Complaint seeks injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties, investigative costs and attorneys fees. The West Virginia Complaint does not allege that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
Since February 2004, certain of the Affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a total of 14 lawsuits filed in one of the following: U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, the Central District of California and the Districts of New Jersey and Connecticut. Ten of those lawsuits concern market timing, and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a Multi-District Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the remaining four lawsuits concern revenue sharing with brokers offering shelf space and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of affiliated funds during specified periods or as derivative actions on behalf of the funds.

7. Legal Proceedings (continued)
The lawsuits generally relate to the same facts that are the subject of the regulatory proceedings discussed above. The lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution. The Investment Manager believes that other similar lawsuits may be filed in federal or state courts naming as defendants the Investment Manager, the Affiliates, AGI, the Fund, other open- and closed-end funds advised or distributed by the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates, the boards of trustees of those funds, and/or other affiliates and their employees. Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various regulatory proceedings or lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against the Investment Manager, AGI and/or their affiliates, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment manager/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Fund. In connection with an inquiry from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey settlement described above under Section 9(a), the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (together, the Applicants) have sought exemptive relief from the SEC under Section 9(c) of the 1940 Act.
The SEC has granted the Applicants a temporary exemption from the provisions of Section 9(a) with respect to the New Jersey settlement until the earlier of (i) September 13, 2006 and (ii) the date on which the SEC takes final action on their application for a permanent order. There is no assurance that the SEC will issue a permanent order. If the West Virginia Attorney General were to obtain a court injunction against the Investment Manager or the Affiliates, the Investment Manager or the Affiliates would, in turn, seek exemptive relief under Section 9(c) with respect to that matter, although there is no assurance that such exemptive relief would be granted.
A putative class action lawsuit captioned Charles Mutchka et al. v. Brent R. Harris, et al., was filed in January 2005 by and on behalf of individual shareholders of certain open-end funds that hold equity securities and that are sponsored by the Investment Manager and the Affiliates. The U.S. District court for the Central District of California dismissed the action with prejudice on June 10, 2005. The plaintiffs alleged that fund trustees, investment manager and affiliates breached fiduciary duties and duties of care by failing to ensure that the open-end funds participated in securities class action settlements for which those funds were eligible. The plaintiffs claimed as damages disgorgement of fees paid to the investment manager, compensatory damages and punitive damages.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof. There may be additional litigation or regulatory developments in connection with the matters discussed above.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets applicable to common shareholders and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III, PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund III and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund III (collectively hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at September 30, 2005, the results of each of their operations for the year ended, the changes in each of their net assets applicable to common shareholders for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period October 31, 2002 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Matters Relating to the Trustees Consideration of the Investment Management and Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited) |
The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the Trustees) and a majority of the non-interested (independent) Trustees, voting separately, annually approve the continuation of the Funds Investment Management Agreements with the Investment Manager and Portfolio Management Agreements between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (together, the Agreements). The Trustees consider matters bearing on the Funds and its investment management arrangements at their meetings throughout the year, including a review of performance data at each regular meeting. In addition, the Trustees met on June 15 and 16, 2005 (the contract review meeting) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements. The independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from the Funds management during the contract review meeting.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the Agreements should be continued for an additional one-year period.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements.
In connection with their contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of each Fund for various time periods and the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives, (ii) information provided by Lipper Inc. on the Funds management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, including institutional separate account and other clients, (iv) an estimate of the profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Funds for the twelve months ended March 31, 2005, (vi) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Funds, such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vii) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds.
The Trustees conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Funds. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Managers and Sub-Advisers services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Funds; and conditions that might affect the Investment Managers or Sub-Advisers ability to provide high quality services to the Funds in the future under the Agreements, including each organizations respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Advisers investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Funds given their investment objectives and policies, and that the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

Matters Relating to the Trustees Consideration of the Investment Management and Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited) |
Based on information provided by Lipper Inc., the Trustees also reviewed the Funds total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Funds performance. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that they were satisfied with the Investment Managers and Sub-Advisers responses and efforts relating to investment performance.
In assessing the reasonableness of the Funds fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Funds management fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc.
The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. They noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by these clients of the Sub-Adviser, but that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds are also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Funds are subject in comparison to institutional separate accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fee paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end Funds but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Funds such as the use of leverage and meeting a regular dividend. The Trustees noted that PIMCO Municipal Income Fund IIIs performance was average for the one-year and year-to-date periods ended May 31, 2005 in total return. The Trustees also noted that PIMCO Municipal Income Fund IIIs expense ratio (after taking into account waivers) was below the median and average for its peer group. The Trustees noted that PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund III significantly outperformed its peer group for the one-year and year-to-date periods ended May 31, 2005 in total return. The Trustees also noted that PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund IIIs expense ratio was below the average and slightly above the median expense ratio for its peer group. The Trustees noted that PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund III significantly outperformed its peer group for the one-year and year-to-date periods ended May 31, 2005 in total return. The Trustees also noted that PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund IIIs expense ratio was just above the average and median for its peer group.
The Trustees also took into account that the Funds have preferred shares outstanding, which increases the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on the Funds total managed assets, including assets attributable to preferred shares and other forms of leverage outstanding). In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Funds to continue to have preferred shares outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, on one hand, and the Funds common shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Sub-Adviser indicating that the Funds use of leverage through preferred shares continues to be appropriate and in the interests of the Funds common shareholders.
Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the estimated profitability of the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Funds and determined that such profitability was not excessive.
The Trustees also took into account that, as a closed-end investment companies, the Funds do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Funds will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Funds. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called fall-out benefits to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager and sub-adviser to the Funds.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.

Obtaining Personal Information
In the course of providing you with products and services, we may obtain non-public personal information about you. This information may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from your transactions, from your brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on our internet web sites.
Respecting Your Privacy
We do not disclose any personal or account information provided by you or gathered by us to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on client satisfaction, and gathering shareholder proxies.

We may also provide your personal and account information to your brokerage or financial advisory firm and/or to your financial adviser or consultant.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We do reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect our rights or property, or upon reasonable request by any mutual fund in which you have chosen to invest. In addition, we may disclose information about you or your accounts to a non-affiliated third party at your request or if you consent in writing to the disclosure.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
We may share client information with our affiliates in connection with servicing your account or to provide you with information about products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. The information we share may include, for example, your participation in our mutual funds or other investment programs, your ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about your accounts. Our affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share your information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.
Implementation of Procedures
We take seriously the obligation to safeguard your non-public personal information. We have implemented procedures designed to restrict access to your non-public personal information to our personnel who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. To guard your non-public personal information, physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards are in place.

PIMCO Municipal Income Funds III Tax Information (unaudited)
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, requires the Funds to advise shareholders within 60 days of the Funds' tax year-end (September 30, 2005) as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received by shareholders during such tax period. Accordingly, please note that substantially all dividends paid from net investment income from the Funds during the tax period ended September 30, 2005 were federally exempt interest dividends. The Funds, however, invested in municipal bonds containing market discount, the accretion on which, is taxable. Accordingly, the percentage of dividends paid from net investment income during the tax period which are taxable were:
Municipal III |
2.26% |
California Municipal III |
2.04% |
New York Municipal III |
1.08% |
Since the Funds' fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2005. In January 2006, shareholders will be advised on IRS Form 1099 DIV as to the federal tax status of the dividends and distributions received during calendar 2005. The amount that will be reported will be the amount to use on your 2005 federal income tax return and may differ from the amount which must be reported in connection with each Funds' tax year ended September 30, 2005. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisers as to the federal, state and local tax status of the income received from the Funds. In January 2006, an allocation of interest income by state will be provided which may be of value in reducing a shareholder's state and local tax liability, if any.
9.30.05 | PIMCO Municipal Income Funds III Annual Report 43 |
PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited) |
Pursuant to the Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan), all Common Shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names will have all dividends, including any capital gain dividends, reinvested automatically in additional Common Shares by PFPC Inc., as agent for the Common Shareholders (the Plan Agent), unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. An election to receive cash may be revoked or reinstated at the option of the shareholder. In the case of record shareholders such as banks, brokers or other nominees that hold Common Shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder as representing the total amount registered in such shareholders name and held for the account of beneficial owners who are to participate in the Plan. Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or nominee should contact the bank, broker or nominee for details. All distributions to investors who elect not to participate in the Plan (or whose broker or nominee elects not to participate on the investors behalf), will be paid cash by check mailed, in the case of direct shareholder, to the record holder by PFPC Inc., as the Funds dividend disbursement agent.
Unless you (or your broker or nominee) elect not to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares you will receive will be determined as follows:
(1) |
If Common Shares are trading at or above net asset value on the payment date, the Funds will issue new shares at the greater of (i) the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date or (ii) 95% of the market price per Common Share on the payment date; or |
(2) |
If Common Shares are trading below net asset value (minus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market) on the payment date, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price on the payment date, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Funds. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market on or shortly after the payment date, but in no event later than the ex-dividend date for the next distribution. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments. |
You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving notice to the Plan Agent. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, you will receive a certificate for each whole share in your account under the Plan and you will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account. If you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions.
The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. The Plan Agent will also furnish each person who buys Common Shares with written instructions detailing the procedures for electing not to participate in the Plan and to instead receive distributions in cash. Common Shares in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all Common Shares you have received under the Plan.
There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.
Automatically reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions.
The Funds and the Plan Agent reserve the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Funds reserve the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained from the Funds transfer agent, PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 43027, Providence, RI 02940-3027, telephone number (800) 331-1710.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES a) Audit fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years (the "reporting periods") for professional services rendered by the Registrant's principal accountant (the "Auditor") for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $17,117 in 2004 and $19,808 in 2005. b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit registrant's financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (e) of this Item were $7,662 in 2004 and $4,711 in 2005. These services consist of accounting consultations, agreed upon procedure reports (inclusive of annual review of basic maintenance testing associated with the Preferred Shares), attestation reports and comfort letters. c) Tax Fees.

The Registrant's Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services by the Auditor for the Registrant, as well as the Auditor's engagements related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. The Registrant's policy is stated below. PIMCO Municipal Income Funds III (THE "FUNDS") AUDIT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE POLICY FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS The Funds' Audit Oversight Committee ("Committee") is charged with the oversight of the Funds' financial reporting policies and practices and their internal controls. As part of this responsibility, the Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm's engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement by the independent accountants, the Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant's independence. The Committee's evaluation will be based on: a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided, the fees to be charged in connection with the services expected to be provided, a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and periodic meetings with the accounting firm. POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FUNDS On an annual basis, the Funds' Committee will review and pre-approve the scope of the audits of the Funds and proposed audit fees and permitted non-audit (including audit-related) services that may be performed by the Funds' independent accountants. At least annually, the Committee will receive a report of all audit and non-audit services that were rendered in the previous calendar year pursuant to this Policy. In addition to the Committee's pre-approval of services pursuant to this Policy, the engagement of the independent accounting firm for any permitted non-audit service provided to the Funds will also require the separate written pre-approval of the President of the Funds, who will confirm, independently, that the accounting firm's engagement will not adversely affect the firm's independence. All non-audit services performed by the independent accounting firm will be disclosed, as required, in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. AUDIT SERVICES The categories of audit services and related fees to be reviewed and pre-approved annually by the Committee are: Annual Fund financial statement audits Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required) SEC and regulatory filings and consents Semiannual financial statement reviews AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund's independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm's independence: Accounting consultations Fund merger support services Agreed upon procedure reports (inclusive of quarterly review of Basic Maintenance testing associated with issuance of Preferred Shares and semiannual report review) Other attestation reports Comfort letters Other internal control reports Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm's independence, by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $75,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. TAX SERVICES The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Funds' independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm's independence: Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following: Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, sales and use tax compliance Timely RIC qualification reviews Tax distribution analysis and planning Tax authority examination services Tax appeals support services Accounting methods studies Fund merger support service Other tax consulting services and related projects Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm's independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $100,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. PROSCRIBED SERVICES The Funds' independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services: Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Funds Financial information systems design and implementation Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports Actuarial services Internal audit outsourcing services Management functions or human resources Broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE FUND COMPLEX The Committee will pre-approve annually any permitted non-audit services to be provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (Formerly, PA Fund Management LLC) or any other investment manager to the Funds (but not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted by the investment manager) (the "Investment Manager") and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides ongoing services to the Funds (including affiliated sub-advisers to the Funds), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (such entities, including the Investment Manager, shall be referred to herein as the "Accounting Affiliates"). Individual projects that are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm's independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $100,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Although the Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Funds' independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates. DE MINIMUS EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES With respect to the provision of permitted non-audit services to a Fund or Accounting Affiliates, the pre-approval requirement is waived if: (1) The aggregate amount of all such permitted non-audit services provided constitutes no more than (i) with respect to such services provided to the Fund, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided, and (ii) with respect to such services provided to Accounting Affiliates, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Fund's independent accountant by the Fund and the Accounting Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) Such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement for such services to be non-audit services; and (3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this Committee Chairman or other delegate shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. e) 2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X. f) Not applicable g) Non-audit fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Adviser, for the 2004 Reporting Period was $2,820,207 and the 2005 Reporting Period was $3,231,387. h) Auditor Independence. The Registrant's Audit Oversight Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Adviser which were not pre-approved is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANT The Fund has a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3 (a) (58) (A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
