PIMCO Municipal Income Funds III Letter to Shareholders 

October 30, 2006

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 (the ‘‘Funds’’) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

After a difficult period, the bond market picked up in the third quarter of 2006 as the economy slowed and expectations grew that the Federal Reserve (the ‘‘Fed’’) might begin easing. In fact, the Fed left rates unchanged at 5.25% at each of the last three Fed meetings (August, September and October), citing weakness in the housing sector and falling energy prices. Prior to the August meeting, the Fed had raised the fed funds rate 25 basis points at seventeen consecutive meetings. Nine of the seventeen interest rate increases took place during the Funds' fiscal year, and as a result the inherent increase in borrowing costs proved to be a headwind for the Funds during the year.

For specific information on the Funds and their performance during the reporting period, please review the following pages.

If you have any questions regarding the information provided, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor or call the Funds' shareholder servicing agent at (800) 331-1710. You will also find a wide range of information and resources on our Web site, www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds.

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,

Robert E. Connor

Chairman

Brian S. Shlissel

President & Chief Executive Officer

PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III  
Performance & Statistics
September 30, 2006 (unaudited)

Management Review

•  For the 12 months ended September 30, 2006, PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III returned 7.89% on net asset value and 7.69% on market price, compared with 6.37% and 8.73%, respectively, for the Lipper Analytical General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) average.
•  The municipal bond market outperformed the taxable bond market for the one-year reporting period, as the Lehman Municipal Bond Index returned 4.45% and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.67%, respectively.
•  Longer-dated municipal bonds outperformed shorter-dated municipals during the reporting period as the yield curve flattened. For example, five- and 10-year AAA General Obligation yields rose 27 and 6 basis points, while 20- and 25-year yields declined 13 and 22 basis points, respectively. Note that when a bond's yield rises, its price declines, and vice versa.
•  Longer-dated municipals also outperformed longer-dated Treasuries for the period. Consequently, interest rate hedging strategies that benefit when longer-term Treasuries lag municipals added to performance.
•  Exposure to tobacco-securitized debt was positive for performance.
•  Exposure to zero-coupon bonds, which have outperformed most other fixed-income sectors in 2006, also enhanced performance.
•  A focus on higher credit quality bonds detracted from performance as lower-rated, more speculative issues outperformed during the year.

Moody's Ratings
(as a % of total investments)

(1) 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 Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period 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.
(2) 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, 2006.
