The Trusts are committed to maintaining the privacy of shareholders and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information the Trusts collect, how we protect that information and why, in certain cases, we may share information with select other parties.
Generally, the Trusts do not receive any non-public personal information relating to their shareholders, although certain non-public personal information of shareholders may become available to the Trusts. The Trusts do not disclose any non-public personal information about their shareholders or former shareholders to anyone, except as permitted by law or as is necessary in order to service shareholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third party administrator).
The Trusts restrict access to non-public personal information about their shareholders to BlackRock employees with a legitimate business need for the information. The Trusts maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the non-public personal information of their shareholders.
We are pleased to report that during the annual period, the Trusts provided monthly income, as well as the opportunity to invest in various portfolios of municipal securities. This report contains the Trusts audited financial statements and a listing of the portfolios holdings.
The portfolio management team continuously monitors the municipal bond market and adjusts the portfolios in order to gain exposure to various issuers, revenue sources and security types. This strategy enables the Trusts to move among different sectors, credits and coupons to capitalize on changing market conditions.
The following table shows the Trusts current yields, tax-equivalent yields, closing market prices per share and net asset values (NAV) per share as of August 31, 2004.

Note 1. Organization & Accounting Policies
BlackRock Insured Municipal Income Trust (Insured Municipal), BlackRock California Insured Municipal Income Trust (California Insured), BlackRock Florida Insured Municipal Income Trust (Florida Insured), BlackRock New York Insured Municipal Income Trust (New York Insured) (collectively the Insured Trusts), BlackRock Municipal Bond Trust (Municipal Bond), BlackRock California Municipal Bond Trust (California Bond), BlackRock Florida Municipal Bond Trust (Florida Bond), BlackRock Maryland Municipal Bond Trust (Maryland Bond), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Trust (New Jersey Bond), BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Trust (New York Bond), BlackRock Virginia Municipal Bond Trust (Virginia Bond) (collectively the Bond Trusts), BlackRock Municipal Income Trust II (Municipal Income II), BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust II (California Income II) and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust II (New York Income II) (collectively the Income II Trusts) (collectively the Trusts) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. The Insured Trusts were organized on August 19, 2002. They had no transactions until October 19, 2002, when each of the Insured Trusts sold 8,028 common shares for $115,001 to BlackRock Funding, Inc. Investment operations for the Insured Trusts commenced on October 31, 2002. Insured Municipal, Municipal Bond and Municipal Income II are registered as diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. California Insured, California Bond, California Income II, Florida Insured, Florida Bond, Maryland Bond, New Jersey Bond, New York Insured, New York Bond, New York Income II and Virginia Bond are registered as non-diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts.
Investments Valuation: Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a when-issued basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trusts Board of Trustees or Board of Directors as the case may be (each, a Board). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. A futures contract is valued at the last sale price as of the close of the commodities exchange on which it trades. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in other investment companies are valued at net asset value. Any investments or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, each Trusts Board.
Investments Transactions and Investment Income: Investments transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Each Trust also records interest income on an accrual basis and amortizes premium and/or accretes discount on securities purchased using the interest method.
Financial Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument for a set price on a future date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking-to-market on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each days trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trusts basis in the contract.
Financial futures contracts, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Futures contracts can be sold to effectively shorten an otherwise longer duration portfolio. In the same sense, futures contracts can be purchased to lengthen a portfolio that is shorter than its duration target. Thus, by buying or selling futures contracts, the Trusts may attempt to manage the duration of positions so that changes in interest rates do not change the duration of the portfolio unexpectedly.
Segregation: In cases in which the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) require that each Trust segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities, reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on its books and records cash or other liquid debt securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated.
Federal Income Taxes: It is each Trusts intention to continue to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient net income to shareholders. For this reason and because substantially all of the gross income of each Trust consists of tax-exempt interest, no Federal income tax provisions are required.
Dividends and Distributions: Each Trust declares and pays dividends and distributions to common shareholders monthly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss car-ryforwards may be distributed annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 4.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by the Trusts Board, non-interested Trustees/Directors (Trustees) are required to defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock closed-end trusts selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.
70
The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts: In order to present undistributed (distribution in excess of) net investment income (UNII) and accumulated net realized gain (Accumulated Gain) more closely to its tax character, the following accounts for each Trust were increased (decreased):
Trust |
UNII

Note 2. Agreements
Each Trust has an Investment Management Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the Advisor), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to each Trust. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The investment management agreement covers both investment advisory and administration services.
Each Trusts investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly, accrued daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.55% for the Insured Trusts and Income II Trusts and 0.65% for the Bond Trusts, of each Trusts average weekly managed assets. Managed assets means the total assets of a Trust (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee or other expenses of each Trust. With respect to the Insured Trusts the waiver, as a percentage of managed assets, is as follows: 0.20% for the first 5 years of each Trusts operations, 0.15% in year 6, 0.10% in year 7, and 0.05% in year 8. With respect to the Bond Trusts the waiver, as a percentage of managed assets, is as follows: 0.30% for the first 5 years of each Trusts operations, 0.25% in year 6, 0.20% in year 7, 0.15% in year 8, 0.10% in year 9 and 0.05% in year 10. With respect to the Income II Trusts the waiver, as a percentage of managed assets, is as follows: 0.15% for the first 5 years of each Trusts operations, 0.10% in year 6 through year 7, 0.05% in year 8 through year 10.
Pursuant to the agreements, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolio and pays the compensation of officers of each Trust who are affiliated persons of the Advisor, occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of each Trust. Each Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for certain operational support services provided to each Trust.
Pursuant to the terms of each Trusts custody agreement, each Trust received earnings credits from its custodian for positive cash balances maintained, which are used to offset custody fees.

A Trust may not declare dividends or make other distributions on common shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding preferred shares would be less than 200%.
The preferred shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The preferred shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Trust, as set forth in each Trusts Declaration of Trust, are not satisfied.
The holders of preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of common shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of common shares as a single class. However, holders of preferred shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the preferred shares, (b) change a Trusts subclassification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions and (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolios of investments, as of August 31, 2004, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Trusts as of August 31, 2004, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Plan Agent serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. After a Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (newly issued shares) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trusts primary exchange or elsewhere (open-market purchases). If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share (NAV) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as market premium), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participants account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as market discount), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.
Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.
The Plan Agents fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agents open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.
Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, or by calling (800) 699-1BFM.

The term of any such pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The amount of any such pre-approval is set forth in the appendices to the Policy (the "Service Pre-Approval Documents"). At its first meeting of each calendar year, the Audit Committee will review and re-approve the Policy and approve or re-approve the Service Pre-Approval Documents for that year, together with any changes deemed necessary or desirable by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, from time to time, modify the nature of the services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees pre-approved or both.

The Chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions under this Policy to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. At each scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee will review with the Independent Auditor the Covered Services pre-approved by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority, if any, and the fees related thereto. Based on these reviews, the Audit Committee can modify, at its discretion, the pre-approval originally granted by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority. This modification can be to the nature of services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees approved, or both.

A request or application submitted to the Chairman between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should include a discussion as to why approval is being sought prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee. |
