5.31.10 | PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Semi-Annual Report 1
Dear Shareholder:
For both the U.S. and global economies, stability and recovery defined the fiscal six-month period ended May 31, 2010 for most of the period. The period began with clear signs that the worst of the 2007-2009 economic meltdown was over. This translated into a renewed appetite for risk on the part of investors, many of whom shifted away from the perceived safety of U.S. Treasury bonds and into higher-yielding corporate and lower-rated securities both of which generated solid gains. Toward the end of the period, however, fiscal worries in Europe and hints that the U.S. recovery might not be quite as robust as earlier thought sparked a reversal, with many investors moving back into U.S. Treasuries.
Six Months in Review:
For the fiscal six-month period ended May 31, 2010, PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund returned 14.85% on net asset value and 20.61% on market price.
After growing at an annual rate of 5.6% in the fourth quarter of 2009, the U.S. economy slowed during the first quarter of 2010, expanding at an annual rate of 3.0%. The unemployment rate though regarded as a lagging economic indicator remained just under double-digit levels. Though this recovery did not appear to be as vigorous as recoveries from prior recessions, it did appear to be sustainable.
The rebound continues to be supported by record-low interest rates. The Federal Reserve has maintained the closely-watched Federal Funds Rate the interest rate banks charge to lend federal funds to other banks, usually on an overnight basis in the 0.0% to 0.25% range, and stated it would continue to do so for an extended period of time. In February 2010, the Federal Reserve did raise the discount-rate the interest rate it charges banks for direct loans from 0.50% to 0.75% . The move was seen as a signal for banks to rely less on the government for capital.
During the reporting period, as is usually the case during an economic rebound, corporate profits rebounded and defaults declined. Generally, this resulted in higher corporate bond prices. The increased appetite for risk was particularly helpful for two areas in which the Fund focuses: bonds in the lowest investment grade category Baa or BBB and the highest non-investment grade category Ba or BB. A significant portion of the Funds investments were concentrated in these two areas. The increased appetite for risk also benefitted bonds with longer maturities; nearly two-thirds of the Funds investments were invested in securities with maturities of five years or more.
2 PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Semi-Annual Report | 5.31.10
Positioned to Face Todays Challenges:
The partial reversal of corporate bond prices during the last month of the reporting period underscores the traditional risks to bond investing. The variables such as credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk are many, and they must be watched closely for any possible impact on bond prices. And in addition to these traditional risks are the extraordinary fiscal and monetary measures that were put in place as the U.S. economy began to wobble nearly three years ago. These measures generally appear to have worked and are now beginning to be withdrawn. This will be a gradual process, and, of course, the impact on the credit quality of securities in the Funds portfolio will be monitored closely by the Funds investment research team.
The Road Ahead:
The last month of the reporting period has served as yet another reminder as if one was needed that financial markets can turn suddenly. Caution is always warranted and it is worth a reminder that investing is a long-term endeavor. There will always be ups and downs, and past success can never be guaranteed in the future. Historically, however, U.S. and global economies have been resilient over long periods of time.

PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Fund Insights/Performance & Statistics
May 31, 2010 (unaudited)
· |
For the fiscal six-month period ended May 31, 2010, PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund returned 14.85% on net asset value (NAV) and 20.61% on market price. |
· |
The Funds average exposure of 35% to the banking sector aided performance during the period. Strong security selection and exposure to bank capital securities was positive for performance. |
· |
An average weighting of 15% in finance companies contributed to the Funds returns during the reporting period, as these companies benefited from strong net interest margins and improving asset quality. |
· |
The Funds average weighting of 13% in the insurance sector contributed positively to returns, as these issuers gained in conjunction with improvement in investment portfolios and asset valuations. |
· |
The Funds 5% average position in the transportation sector, implemented primarily through Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates issued by airlines, was a positive for performance during the six-month period. Robust collateral valuations and capacity utilization within the airline sectors supported valuations. In addition, the transportation sector benefited from shipping volume increases across rail, road, air and sea. |
· |
The Funds 1% average allocation to the basic industry sector, an underweight concentration relative to the market, detracted from performance as this sector generally outperformed during the reporting period. |
· |
A shift toward lower quality investment-grade credit and high-quality BB speculative grade corporate issues was positive for performance during the period. Lower rated corporates outpaced the broader market, as credit fundamentals continued to improve and corporates were able to access capital markets and refinance debt. |

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends and capital gain distributions if any, have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.
Performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can alaso be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Funds shares, or changes in Fund dividends.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a onetime public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend (comprised of net investment income) payable to shareholders by the market price per share at May 31, 2010.

These securities are generally considered to be restricted as the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on May 31, 2010. |

PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Notes to Financial Statements |
May 31, 2010 (unaudited) |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund (the Fund), was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 13, 2002. Prior to commencing operations on December 27, 2002, the Fund had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and registration as a diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager) serves as the Funds Investment Manager and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (Allianz Global). Allianz Global is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value per share of common stock authorized.
The Funds investment objective is to seek maximum total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt obligations of varying maturities and of other income-producing securities.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its stated objective.
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 Funds financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services.
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily available. The Funds investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Exchange-traded futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to 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. Investments initially valued in currencies other than U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (NAV) of the Funds shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed.
The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to the Funds financial statements. The Funds NAV is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4: 00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(b) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i. e. the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
· Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Fund has the ability to access
· Level 2 valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges
· Level 3 valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
An investment assets or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used.
The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the six months ended May 31, 2010 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Fund utilized option adjusted spread pricing techniques.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
A summary of the inputs used at May 31, 2010 in valuing the Funds assets and liabilities is listed below:

The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments which the Fund held at May 31, 2010, was $4,796,786. Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statement of Operations.
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Funds management is in the process of reviewing ASU 2010-06 to determine future applicability.
(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received by the Fund are amortized as income over the expected term of the loan. Commitment fees received by the Fund relating to unfunded purchase commitments are recorded as other fee income upon receipt. Paydown gains and losses are netted and recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations.
(d) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to distribute all of its 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.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Fund, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. Fund management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds financial statements at May 31, 2010. The Funds federal tax returns for the prior three years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
(e) Dividends and Distributions Common Stock
The Fund declares dividends from net investment income monthly to common shareholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The 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

PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Notes to Financial Statements |
May 31, 2010 (unaudited) |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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.
(f) Foreign Currency Translation
The Funds accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain (loss) is included in the Funds Statement of Operations.
The Fund does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain (loss) for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.
(g) Senior Loans
The Fund purchases assignments of, and participations in, Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other financial institution (the Agent) for a lending syndicate of financial institutions (the Lender). When purchasing an assignment, the Fund succeeds to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.
(h) Repurchase Agreements
The Fund enters into transactions with its custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby it purchases securities under agreements to resell such securities at an agreed upon price and date (repurchase agreements). The Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements, which is considered to represent fair-value. Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, are held by the custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Fund require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
(i) Reverse Repurchase Agreements
In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover and reinvest all or most of the cash invested in portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and still be entitled to the returns associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the returns it obtains on investments purchased with the cash. To the extent a Fund does not cover its positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), the Funds uncovered obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Funds limitations on borrowings. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds obligation to repurchase the securities.
(j) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions
When-issued or delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery

PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Notes to Financial Statements |
May 31, 2010 (unaudited) |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
purchases are outstanding, the Fund 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 Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations; consequently, such fluctuations are taken into account when determining the net asset value. The Fund 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 is sold on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
(k) Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities
Investments in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (SMBSs) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the markets perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. The decline in liquidity and prices of these types of securities may have made it more difficult to determine fair market value. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
(l) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises
Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae), a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government include the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(m) Interest Expense
Interest expense relates primarily to the Funds liability in connection with reverse repurchase agreements. Interest expense is recorded as it is incurred.
(n) Custody Credits on Cash Balances
The Fund benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its 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 Fund.
2. Principal Risks
In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Fund also is exposed to various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency, market price and credit risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Fund is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income securitys market price to interest rate (i. e. yield) movements.

PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2010 (unaudited)
2. Principal Risks (continued)
If the Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including economic growth, changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the Funds investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Fund.
The Fund is subjected to elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S., due to concentrated investments in specific industries or investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country or region. Such concentrations will subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions in such country or region and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws of currency exchange restrictions affecting such country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.
The market values of equity securities, such as common and preferred stock, or equity-related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
The Fund is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.
Similar to credit risk, the Fund is exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Fund could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Funds sub-adviser, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the Sub-Adviser), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, seeks to minimize the Funds counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Fund has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (ISDA Master Agreements) with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Fund and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements of the Fund.
The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (Master Forward Agreements) between the Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.
The Fund is also a party to Master Repurchase Agreements (Master Repo Agreements) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provision for initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.

PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2010 (unaudited)
2. Principal Risks (continued)
The counterparty risk associated with certain contracts may be reduced by master netting arrangements to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Funds overall exposure to counterparty risk with respect to transactions subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.
On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On September 19, 2008, a proceeding under the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) was commenced with respect to Lehman Brothers Inc. (SLH), a broker-dealer. A trustee appointed under SIPA is administering the bankruptcy estate of SLH. Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (LBI) was placed in administration under the UK Insolvency Act on September 15, 2008. Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (LBSF) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on October 3, 2008. In connection with these filings, the Lehman Brothers group of companies (collectively Lehman Brothers) will be reorganized and/or liquidated in an orderly fashion, subject to court approval. Each Lehman Brothers entity is a separate legal entity that is subject to its own bankruptcy proceeding.
The Fund had select holdings, credit default swap agreements, foreign currency transactions, securities and derivatives transactions outstanding with Lehman Brothers entities as issuer, referenced entity, counterparty or guarantor at the time the relevant Lehman Brothers entity filed for protection or was placed in administration. The security holdings, credit default swap agreements, foreign currency transactions, securities and derivatives transactions associated with LBSF as counterparty were written down to their estimated recoverable values. Anticipated losses for securities and derivatives transactions associated with Lehman Brothers have been incorporated as net realized gain (loss) on the Funds Statement of Operations. The remaining balances due from SLH are included in receivable from broker on the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A facilitated auction occurred on October 10, 2008 comprising multiple pre-approved brokerage agencies to determine the estimated recovery rate for holdings and credit default swap agreements with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. as the referenced entity. These recovery rates, as well as the current value of Senior Lehman bonds, were utilized in determining estimated recovery values for certain holdings. On September 23, 2009, LBSF returned all cash collateral to the Fund and the Fund paid all outstanding liabilities owed.
3. Financial Derivative Instruments
Disclosure about derivative instruments and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as hedges and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Fund may sometimes use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Fund reflects derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Funds Statement of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Derivative notional amounts and values as of May 31, 2010, which are disclosed in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements, are indicative of the volume of the Funds derivatives activities over the reporting period.
(a) Futures Contracts
The Fund uses futures contracts to manage their exposure to the securities markets or the movements in interest rates and currency values. 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 Fund is 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 Fund agrees 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 Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records 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 various risks, including the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedging assets, and possible inability or unwillingness of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2010 (unaudited)
3. Financial Derivative Instruments (continued)
(b) Option Transactions
The Fund purchases and writes (sells) put and call options on securities for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of its investment strategies. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears 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 are decreased by the premiums paid.
When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the option written. These liabilities, if any, are reflected as options written in the Funds 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 purchased transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option written 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 written is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Fund bears 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 Fund purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.
(c) Swap Agreements
Swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. The Fund enters into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.
Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Funds Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Funds Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Funds Statement of Operations.
Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, legal, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks include the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Credit Default Swap Agreements Credit default swap agreements involve one party (referred to as the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2010 (unaudited)
3. Financial Derivative Instruments (continued)
If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.
Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protections right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund uses credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuers default.
Credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit events. Unlike credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, deliverable obligations in most instances would be limited to the specific referenced obligation as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other writedown or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap agreement will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. The Fund uses credit default swaps on asset-backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the referenced obligation or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligations default.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that names weight in the index, or in the case of a tranched index credit default swap, the credit event is settled based on the names weight in the index that falls within the tranche for which the Fund bears exposure. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. The Fund uses credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit-default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed later in the Notes to Financial Statements (see 5(b)) and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance

risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entitys credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of May 31, 2010 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed later in the Notes to Financial Statements (see 5(b)). These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments, with respect to the notional amount of principal. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or cap, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or floor, (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the counterparty may terminate the swap transaction in whole at zero cost by a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spreadlocks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest rate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swap, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different money markets.
(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund also enters into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or shifting exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, these contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain (loss) reflected in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(1) If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(2) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entitys credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(3) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make available as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
(4) The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the status at May 31, 2010 of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entitys credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The Fund is subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding.

7. Auction-Rate Preferred Shares (continued)
Preferred shareholders, who are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote with the common shareholders but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.
Since mid-February 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (ARPS) issued by the Fund has been directly impacted by an unprecedented lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nations closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the Fund has consistently failed because of insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet the supply (shares offered for sale) at each auction. In a failed auction, ARPS holders cannot sell all, and may not be able to sell any, of their shares tendered for sale. While repeated auction failures have affected the liquidity for ARPS, they do not constitute a default or automatically alter the credit quality of the ARPS, and ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the defined maximum rate, the higher of the 7 day AA Composite Commercial Paper Rate multiplied by 150% (which is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction). If the Funds ARPS auctions continue to fail and the maximum rate payable on the ARPS rises as a result of changes in short-term interest rates, returns for the Funds common shareholders could be adversely affected.
8. Legal Proceedings
In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (PEA), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.) agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged market timing arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered as an investment adviser and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning market timing, which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the MDL Court). After a number of claims in the lawsuits were dismissed by the MDL Court, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement, which was publicly filed with the MDL Court in April 2010, resolving all remaining claims, but the settlement remains subject to the approval of the MDL Court.
In addition, the Sub-Adviser is the subject of a lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division in which the complaint alleges that plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when the Sub-Adviser held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. In July 2007, the court granted class certification of a class consisting of those persons who purchased futures contracts to offset short positions between May 9, 2005 and June 30, 2005. The Sub-Adviser currently believes that the complaint is without merit and the Sub-Adviser intends to vigorously defend against this action.
Several closed-end funds managed by the Investment Manager, including the Fund and certain other funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser, have each received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of certain common shareholders. The demand letters allege that the Investment Manager and certain officers and trustees of the funds breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the redemption at par of a portion of the funds ARPS and demand that the boards of trustees take certain action to remedy those alleged breaches. The independent trustees of the board of each such fund, including the Fund, are evaluating the demand letters.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Fund.

Changes to Board of Trustees:
Robert E. Connor served as a Trustee of the Fund until his death on April 8, 2010.
On June 22, 2010, the Funds Board of Trustees appointed Alan Rappaport as a Trustee.
R. Peter Sullivan, III announced his retirement from the Funds Board of Trustees effective July 31, 2010.
Changes in Investment Policies
Non-U.S. Dollar Denominated Securities. Effective April 12, 2010, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of investment) in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. This replaced the Funds prior maximum limit with respect to investment in debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies, which was 10% of total assets.
Providing additional flexibility to invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities could potentially increase the Funds exposures to foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk and/or foreign currency risk. See Note 2. Principal Risks in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional discussion of these and other relevant risks.
Proxy Voting Policies & Procedures:
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund has adopted to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information about how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds shareholder servicing agent at (800) 254-5197; (ii) on the Funds website at www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds; and (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.
