NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization
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) (all, collectively the Trusts) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. 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 (the 1940 Act). 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 1940 Act.
Under the Trusts organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trusts. In
addition, in the normal course of business, the Trusts enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements are unknown as this would involve future
claims that may be made against the Trusts. However, based on experience, the Trusts consider the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.
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 (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. Swap quotations are provided by dealers selected under supervision of the Board. 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 open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value per share.
Any investments or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (Fair Value Assets) as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general
supervision and responsibility of, each Trusts Board. The investment advisor and/or sub-advisor will submit its recommendations regarding the valuation and/or valuation methodologies for Fair Value Assets to a valuation committee. The
valuation committee may accept, modify or reject any recommendations. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to the Board.
When determining the price for a Fair Value Asset, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current
sale of that asset in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant.
In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the implication of FAS 157. At this time, its impact on the Trusts
financial statements have not been determined.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. The cost of investments sold and the related gain or loss is determined by use of
the specific identification method, generally first-in, first-out, for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. 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 attempt to manage the duration of positions so that changes in interest
rates do not change the duration of the portfolio unexpectedly.
Forward Starting Swaps: Forward starting swaps are an agreement for an interest rate swap asset or liability to be created or sold in the future. Interest rate swaps are an agreement
in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a
floating rate. The Trusts generally intend to close each forward starting swap before the accrual date specified in the agreement and therefore avoid entering into the interest rate swap underlying each forward starting swap.
During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers to
reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Trust will record 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, if
any.
74
Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks
involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counter-party to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest and/or
exchange rates. However, the Advisor of the Trusts monitor swaps and do not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.
Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) require that each Trust segregate
assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities, forward starting swaps or futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the Commission, designate on its books and records
cash or other liquid 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 and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provisions have been recorded.
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.
FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Trusts tax
returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be booked as a tax expense
in the current year and recognized as: a liability for unrecognized tax benefits; a reduction of an income tax refund receivable; a reduction of deferred tax asset; an increase in deferred tax liability; or a combination thereof. Adoption of FIN 48
is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
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 in accordance with the 1940 Act. 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 5.
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 including investment and swap valuations 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 and such differences may be material.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trusts Board, non-interested Trustees
(Independent 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 Independent Trustees. These amounts are shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Investments in Affiliates. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent
Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.
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 Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.
Other: Expenses that are directly related to one of the Trusts are charged directly to that Trust. Other operating expenses are generally prorated to the Trusts on the basis of
relative net assets of all the BlackRock Closed-End Funds.
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. (BFM), 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.
The Advisor pays BFM fees for its sub-advisory services.
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, as well as occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of each Trust. Each
75
Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for costs of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support, and compliance services to each Trust. For the year ended August
31, 2006, the Trusts reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations:
Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, each Trust received earnings credits from its custodian for positive cash balances maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. These
credits are shown on the Statement of Operations as fees paid indirectly.
Note 3. Portfolio
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and U.S. government securities, for the year ended August 31, 2006 were as follows:
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities for the year ended August 31, 2006.
Details of open forward starting swap agreements at August 31, 2006 were as follows:

77
(a)Trust will pay fixed interest rate and receive floating interest rate beginning on the effective date. BMABond Market Association.
Note 4. Income Tax
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:
78
As of August 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
For Federal income tax purposes, the following Trusts had capital loss carryforwards as of their last respective tax year-end (the Bond Trusts have a tax year-end of October 31st, the Insured
Trusts have a tax year-end of September 30 and the Income II Trusts have a tax year-end of June 30th). These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any:
Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders of a Trust until that Trust has net realized capital gains in excess of its capital loss carryforward
amounts.
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):
Note 5. Capital
There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value common shares of beneficial interest authorized for each Trust. Each Trust may classify or reclassify any unissued common shares into one or more series of
Auction Market Preferred Shares (preferred shares).
79
During the years ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, the following Trusts issued additional shares under their respective dividend reinvestment plan:
As of August 31, 2006, each Trust had the following series of preferred shares outstanding as listed in the table below. The preferred shares have a liquidation value of $25,000 per share
plus any accumulated unpaid dividends.
Dividends on seven-day preferred shares are cumulative at a rate which is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. The dividend ranges and average on the preferred shares for
each of the Trusts for the year ended August 31, 2006 were as follows:
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/Articles Supplementary, 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 1940 Act 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.
80
Note 6. Dividends Subsequent to August 31, 2006, the Board of each Trust declared dividends from undistributed earnings per common share payable October 2, 2006, to shareholders of record on
September 15, 2006. The per share common dividends declared were as follows:
The dividends declared on preferred shares for the period September 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006 for each of the Trusts were as follows:
Note 7. Concentration Risk
The Trusts concentrate their investments in securities issued by state agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories. The Trusts are more susceptible to adverse financial, social, environmental, economic, regulatory and political factors that may affect these states, which could seriously affect the ability of these states and their municipal subdivisions to meet continuing obligations for principal and interest
payments and therefore could impact the value of the Trusts investments and net asset value per share, than if the Trusts were not concentrated in securities issued by state agencies, other governmental entities and U.S.
Territories.
Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that market value
may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. These securities have been identified in the Portfolios of Investments.
Note 8. Subsequent Event
On September 29, 2006, Merrill Lynch contributed its investment management business, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (MLIM), to BlackRock, to form a new asset management company. The new company operates under the BlackRock name and is governed by a board of directors with a majority of independent members. Merrill Lynch will own no more than 49.8% of the capital stock of the new company on a fully diluted
basis and it will own no more than 45% of the new companys common stock on a diluted basis. The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) owns approximately 34% of the new companys common stock. Prior to September 29, 2006 PNC
was an indirect majority shareholder of BlackRock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Shareholders of:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolio of investments, as of August 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, 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 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform audits of their internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Trusts internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures include confirmation of the securities owned as of August 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. 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 Trust as of August 31, 2006, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Boston, Massachusetts

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS
Pursuant to each Trusts Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan), common shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains
reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (the Plan Agent) in the respective Trusts shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who do not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed
directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent, which 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.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
Under the 1940 Act, the continuation of each Trusts investment management and sub-advisory agreements is required to be approved annually by the Boards, including the Board members who
are not interested persons of the Trusts or the Advisors as defined in the 1940 Act (the Independent Trustees). At a meeting held on May 23, 2006, the Boards of each Trust, including the Independent Trustees, met to consider
the annual continuation of each Trusts agreements (the Current Agreements). The Boards first considered the annual continuation of each Current Agreement without considering the impending Transaction (as defined below) between
BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock) and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (Merrill Lynch) because the Current Agreements needed to be re-approved whether or not the Transaction closes. Accordingly, it was appropriate to review each of
the Current Agreements without considering the impending Transaction, and then to separately consider the impact of the Transaction on the Current Agreements.
At the meeting on May 23, 2006, the Board of each Trust, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuance of each current investment management agreement and current
sub-advisory agreement for each Trust and then approved a new management agreement and a new sub advisory agreement for each Trust.
Information Received by the Boards
To assist each Board in its evaluation of the Current Agreements, the Independent Trustees received information from BlackRock on or about April 22, 2006 which detailed, among other things: the
organization, business lines and capabilities of the Advisors (defined below), including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel and biographical information relating to key personnel; financial statements for BlackRock, Inc.,
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and each Trust; the advisory and/or administrative fees paid by each Trust to BlackRock Advisors, Inc. and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (collectively the Advisors) including comparisons,
compiled by an independent third party, with the management fees of funds with similar investment objectives (Peers); the profitability of BlackRock and certain industry profitability analyses for advisors to registered investment
companies; the expenses of BlackRock in providing the various services; non-investment advisory reimbursements and fallout benefits to BlackRock; the expenses of each Trust, including comparisons of the respective Trusts expense
ratios (both before and after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its Peers; and each Trusts performance for the past one- and three-year periods, as well as each Trusts performance compared to its Peers. This information
supplemented the information received by each Board throughout the year regarding each Trusts performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and compliance.
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees provided a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Boards under the 1940
Act, as well as the general principles of relevant law in reviewing and approving advi-
83
sory contracts, the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters, an advisors fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation, and the standards used by courts in determining whether investment
company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the boards in voting on advisory agreements.
The Independent Trustees reviewed this information and discussed it with independent counsel in executive session prior to the Board meeting. At the Board meeting on May 23, 2006, BlackRock
made a presentation to and responded to additional questions from the Boards. After the presentations and after additional discussion the Boards considered each Current Agreement and, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors
set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) statements relating to the renewal of the Current Agreements.
Matters Considered by the Boards
In connection with their deliberations with respect to the Current Agreements, the Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Trust, including the following: the
nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisors; the investment performance of each Trust; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisors and their affiliates from their relationship
with the Trusts; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the BlackRock closed-end fund complex grows; and whether BlackRock realizes other benefits from its relationship with the Trusts.
Nature and Quality of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Advisors services, the
Boards reviewed information concerning the types of services that the Advisors provide and are expected to provide to each Trust, narrative and statistical information concerning each Trusts performance record and how such performance compares
to each Trusts Peers, information describing BlackRocks organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Boards noted the willingness of the personnel of
BlackRock to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards further considered the quality of the Advisors investment process in making portfolio management decisions. Given the Boards experience with BlackRock, the
Boards noted that they were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of BlackRock. The Boards also noted that the formation of Portfolio Review Committees and a Compliance Committee had
helped the Boards to continue to improve their understanding of BlackRocks organization, operations and personnel.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Trustees considered the quality of the administrative or non-investment advisory services provided to the Trusts. In this regard, the Advisors
provide each Trust with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Trusts) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Trust. In
addition to investment management services, the Advisors and their affiliates provide each Trust with services such as: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements and Trust websites;
communications with analysts to support secondary market trading; assisting with daily accounting and pricing; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers;
administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal and compliance support (such as helping to prepare proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Trust
administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). The Boards considered the Advisors policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable
laws and regulations.
Investment Performance of the Trusts. As previously noted, the Boards received performance information regarding each Trust and its Peers. Among other
things, the Boards received materials reflecting each Trusts historic performance and each Trusts performance compared to its Peers. More specifically, each Trusts one- and three-year total returns (the periods applicable to each
Trust) were evaluated relative to its respective Peers (including the performance of individual Peers as well as the Peers average performance).
The Boards reviewed a narrative analysis of the third-party Peer rankings that was prepared by BlackRock at the Boards request. The summary placed the Peer rankings into context by
analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons. The Boards noted that each Trust had performed better or equal to the median of its Peers and benchmarks in each of the past one- and three-year periods.
After considering this information, the Boards concluded that the performance of each Trust, in light of and after considering the other facts and circumstances applicable to each Trust,
supports a conclusion that each Trusts Current Agreement should be renewed.
Fees and Expenses. In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Trust is expected to bear, the Boards considered each Trusts current
management fee structure and the Trusts expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as relative to the fees and expense ratios of applicable Peers. In reviewing fees, the Boards, among other things, reviewed comparisons of each
Trusts gross management fees before and after any fee waivers and total expense ratios after any applicable waivers with those of the applicable Peers. The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an
independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the request of the Boards. This summary placed the rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons.
The Boards noted that, seven of the 14 Trusts pay fees lower than or equal to the median fees paid by their Peers in each of (i) contractual management fees payable by a Trust prior to any fee
waivers (contractual management fees), (ii) actual management fees paid by a Trust after taking into consideration fee waivers (actual management fees) and (iii) total expenses. The remaining seven Trusts are worse than the
median of their Peers in at least one of (a) contractual management fees, (b) actual management fees or (c) total expenses. The Board noted the following reasons why these seven Trusts have contractual or actual management fees or total expenses
higher than the median of their Peers:
84 De minimis. The Boards of BCK and BFY noted that these Trusts pay actual management fees and/or incur total expenses that are no more than 4 bps (no more than 6%) higher than the median of their respective Peers. Nevertheless, these two Trusts have contractual man- agement fees that are lower than or equal to the median of their
peers. In addition, BFY incurs total expenses that are lower than or equal to the median. BIE and BBK pay actual management fees and/or incur total expenses that are lower than the median of their Peers, and
have contractual management fees no more than five basis points higher than their Peers. Fee Waivers. The Boards of BZM, BLJ and BHV noted that these three Trusts have contractual fees that are higher than the median of their respective peers. Nevertheless, these Trusts pay actual management fees and incur total expenses that are better than or equal to the median, as they have a fee waiver structure in place through as
late as 2012.
The Boards also compared the management fees charged to the Trusts by the Advisors to the management fees the Advisors charge other types of clients (such as open-end investment companies and
separately managed institutional accounts). With respect to open-end investment companies, the management fees charged to the Trusts generally were higher than those charged to the open-end investment companies. The Boards also noted that the
Advisors provide the Trusts with certain services not provided to open-end funds, such as leverage management in connection with the issuance of preferred shares, stock exchange listing compliance requirements, rating agency compliance with respect
to the leverage employed by the Trusts and secondary market support and other services not provided to the Trusts, such as monitoring of subscriptions and redemptions. With respect to separately managed institutional accounts, the management fees
for such accounts were generally lower than those charged to the comparable Trusts. The Boards noted, however, the various services that are provided and the costs incurred by the Advisors in managing and operating the Trusts. For instance, the
Advisors and their affiliates provide numerous services to the Trusts that are not provided to institutional accounts including, but not limited to: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial
statements; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings;
income monitoring; expense budgeting; preparing proxy statements; and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). Further, the
Boards noted the increased compliance requirements for the Trusts in light of new SEC regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts.
In connection with the Boards consideration of this information, the Boards reviewed the considerable investment management experience of the Advisors and considered the high level of
investment management, administrative and other services provided by the Advisors. In light of these factors and the other facts and circumstances applicable to each Trust, the Boards concluded that the fees paid and expenses incurred by each Trust
under its Current Agreements supports a conclusion that each Trusts Current Agreements should be renewed.
Profitability. The Directors also considered BlackRocks profitability in conjunction with their review of fees. The Directors reviewed
BlackRocks revenues, expenses and profitability margins on a before and after-tax basis. In reviewing profitability, the Directors recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of
allocating expenses. The Directors also reviewed BlackRocks assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards also recognized that individual
fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not publicly available.
The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore
comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Boards considered BlackRocks pre-tax profit margin compared to the pre-tax profitability of various publicly-traded investment management companies
and/or investment management companies that publicly disclose some or all of their financial results. The comparison indicated that BlackRocks pre-tax profitability was in the second quartile of the fifteen companies compared (including
BlackRock), with the most profitable quartile being ranked first and the least profitable quartile being ranked fourth.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the Advisors compensation, the Boards also considered any other revenues paid to the Advisors, including partial reimbursements paid to the Advisors
for certain non-investment advisory services. The Boards noted that these payments were less than the Advisors costs for providing these services. The Boards also considered indirect benefits that the Advisors and their affiliates are expected
to receive that are attributable to their management of the Trusts.
In reviewing each Trusts fees and expenses, the Boards examined the potential benefits of economies of scale, and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Trusts
fee structures, for example through the use of breakpoints. In this connection, the Boards reviewed information provided by BlackRock, noting that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund-level breakpoints, as closed-end funds generally do
not experience substantial growth after their initial public offering and each fund is managed independently consistent with its own investment objectives. The information also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level
breakpoint structure for advisory fees, and that this complex generally is homogeneous with regard to the types of funds managed and is about three times as large as the Trusts complex.
The Boards concluded that BlackRocks profitability, in light of all the other facts and circumstances applicable to each Trust, supports a conclusion that each Trusts Current
Agreements should be renewed.
Other Benefits. In evaluating fees, the Boards also considered indirect benefits or profits the Advisors or their affiliates may receive as a result of
their relationships with the Trusts. The Directors, including the Independent Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Advisors and their affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Trusts, including potential
benefits accruing to the Advisors and their affiliates as a result of participating in offerings of the Trusts shares, potentially stronger relationships with members of the broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of the Advisors
and their affiliates, enhanced sales of other investment funds and products sponsored
85
by the Advisors and their affiliates and increased assets under management which may increase the benefits realized by the Advisors from soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers. The Boards also considered the
unquantifiable nature of these potential benefits.
Miscellaneous. During the Boards deliberations in connection with the Current Agreements, the Boards were aware that the Advisor pays compensation,
out of its own assets, to the lead underwriter and to certain qualifying underwriters of many of its closed-end funds, and to employees of the Advisors affiliates that participated in the offering of such funds. The Boards considered whether
the management fee met applicable standards in light of the services provided by the Advisors, without regard to whether the Advisors ultimately pay any portion of the anticipated compensation to the underwriters.
Conclusion with respect to the Current Agreements. In reviewing the Current Agreements without considering the impending Transaction, the Directors did
not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Directors, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that each of the factors described above, in light of all the other factors and all of the
facts and circumstances applicable to each respective Trust, was acceptable for each Trust and supported the Directors conclusion that the terms of each Current Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Trusts fees are
reasonable in light of the services provided to the respective Trust, and that each Current Agreement should be approved.
The Transaction
On September 29, 2006, Merrill Lynch contributed its investment management business, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (MLIM), to BlackRock, one of the largest publicly traded
investment management firms in the United States, to form a new asset management company that is one of the worlds preeminent, diversified global money management organizations with approximately $1 trillion in assets under management (the
Transaction). The new company operates under the BlackRock name and is governed by a board of directors with a majority of independent members. The new company offers a full range of equity, fixed income, cash management and alternative
investment products with strong representation in both retail and institutional channels, in the U.S. and in non-U.S. markets. It has over 4,500 employees in 18 countries and a major presence in most key markets, including the United States, the
United Kingdom, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Europe. Merrill Lynch will own no more than 49.8% of the capital stock of the new company on a fully diluted basis and it will own no more than 45% of the new companys common stock on a
diluted basis. The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC), owns approximately 34% of the new companys common stock.
Although BlackRock has informed the Boards that it does not believe the Transaction caused an assignment of the Current Agreements under the 1940 Act, it is possible that the Transaction could
be determined to be such an assignment, which would result in the automatic termination of each Current Agreement. Due to this uncertainty, each Trust submitted its post-Transaction management agreements and sub-advisory agreements (collectively the
New Agreements) to shareholders to prevent any potential disruption in the Advisors ability to continue to provide services to the Trusts after completion of the Transaction. The New Agreements will be effective upon the completion
of the Transaction or, if the Transaction is not completed, at such time as the Boards determine.
Consequences of the Transaction. On February 23, 2006, April 21, 2006 and May 23, 2006, members of BlackRock management made presentations on the
Transaction to the Boards and the Boards discussed with management and amongst themselves managements general plans and intentions regarding the Trusts, including the preservation, strengthening and growth of BlackRocks business and its
combination with MLIMs business. The Boards also inquired about the plans for and anticipated roles and responsibilities of certain BlackRock employees and officers after the Transaction. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session
to discuss the Transaction. After these meetings, BlackRock continued to update the Boards with respect to its plans to integrate the operations of BlackRock and MLIM and the potential impact of those plans on the Trusts as those plans were further
developed.
After considering and approving the Current Agreements, the Boards (including the Independent Trustees) then considered the information received at these meetings and the consequences of the
Transaction to each Trust, including, among other things:
(i) that BlackRock, MLIM and their investment advisory subsidiaries are experienced and respected asset management firms, and that BlackRock advised the Boards that in connection with the
closing of the Transaction, it intends to take steps to combine the investment management operations of BlackRock and MLIM, which, among other things, may involve sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers),
investment and trading platforms, and other resources. Furthermore, it is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for each of the Trusts, subject to Board consent and
appropriate notice to shareholders;
(ii) that BlackRock advised the Boards that following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Trusts and their
shareholders by the Advisors, including compliance services;
(iii) that BlackRock advised the Boards that it has no present intention to alter the expense waivers and reimbursements currently in effect for certain of the Trusts;
(iv) the experience, expertise, resources and performance of MLIM that will be contributed to BlackRock after the closing of the Transaction and their anticipated impact on BlackRocks
ability to manage the Trusts;
(v) that BlackRock and MLIM would derive benefits from the Transaction and that as a result, they have a financial interest in the matters that were being considered;
(vi) the potential effects of regulatory restrictions on the Trusts as a result of Merrill Lynchs equity stake in BlackRock after the Transaction; (vii) the fact that each Trusts aggregate investment advisory
and sub-advisory fees will not increase by virtue of the New Agreements; (viii) the terms of the New Agreements, including the differences from the Current Agreements;
86
(ix) that the Trusts would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Agreements; and
(x) that BlackRock and Merrill Lynch have agreed to conduct their respective businesses (and use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective affiliates to conduct their respective
businesses) to enable the conditions of Section 15(f) to be true in relation to any registered investment companies advised by MLIM and registered under the 1940 Act and have agreed to the same conduct in relation to the BlackRock registered
investment companies to the extent it is determined the Transaction is an assignment under the 1940 Act.
Nature and Quality of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. The Boards considered the expected impact of the Transaction on the operations,
facilities, organization and personnel of the Advisors, the potential implications of regulatory restrictions on the Trusts following the Transaction and the ability of the Advisors to perform their duties after the Transaction. The Boards
considered that the services to be provided and the standard of care under the New Agreements are the same as under the Current Agreements. The Boards also considered statements by management of BlackRock that, in connection with integrating the
operations of the Advisors and MLIM, the objective was to preserve the best of both organizations in order to enhance BlackRocks ability to provide investment advisory services following completion of the Transaction.
The Boards noted that it is impossible to predict with certainty the impact of the Transaction on the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Advisors to the Trusts, but
concluded based on the information currently available and in light of all of the current facts and circumstances that the Transaction is likely to provide the Advisors with additional resources with which to serve the Trusts and was not expected to
adversely affect the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to the Trusts and their shareholders by the Advisors and was not expected to materially adversely affect the ability of the Advisors to provide those services.
The Boards considered that, following completion of the Transaction, a team primarily comprised of MLIM professionals will manage the portfolios of the Trusts. BlackRock informed the Boards of
this proposal at the May 23rd meetings of the Boards and discussed with the Boards the reasons for this proposed change. BlackRock also provided additional information to the Boards with respect to this change at the August 23rd meetings of the
Boards. The Boards were informed that the following team members generally would oversee investment policies for the Trusts. This team is one of the largest managers of municipal debt with approximately $67.5 billion in assets under management
as of March 31, 2006, including 31 closed-end investment companies with $16.2 billion in assets, $8 billion in retail separate accounts and nine open-end mutual funds with $4.1 billion in assets. Robert A. DiMella. Mr. DiMella has been a Managing Director of MLIM since 2004 and was a Director from 2002 to 2004. He has been a
portfolio manager with MLIM since 1993. William R. Bock. Mr. Bock has been a Director of MLIM since 2005, and was a Vice President from 1989 to 2005. Mr. Bock has been a
portfolio manager with MLIM since 1989. Timothy T. Browse. Mr. Browse has been a Vice President (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of and portfolio manager with MLIM
since 2004. He was also Vice President, Portfolio Manager and team leader of the Municipal Investments Team with Lord Abbett & Co. from 2000 to 2003. Theodore R. Jaeckel, Jr., CFA. Mr. Jaeckel has been a Director (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of MLIM since 1997. Mr. Jaeckel has been a portfolio manager with MLIM since 1990. Walter OConnor. Mr. OConnor has been a Managing Director of MLIM since 2003, was a Director of MLIM from 1998 to 2003 and was a Vice President of MLIM from 1992 to 1998. He has been a portfolio manager with MLIM since 1991. Robert D. Sneeden. Mr. Sneeden has been a Vice President of MLIM since 1998 and was an Assistant Vice President from 1994 to 1998. Mr. Sneeden has been a portfolio manager with MLIM since 1994.
Investment Performance of the Trusts. The Boards examined MLIMs investment performance with respect to its closed-end funds. The Boards noted the
Advisors and MLIMs considerable investment management experience and capabilities. The Boards considered this information together with the level of services expected to be provided to the Trusts. Although the Boards noted that it is
impossible to predict the effect, if any, that consummation of the Transaction would have on the future performance of the Trusts, the Boards concluded that the information currently available, in light of all of the current facts and circumstances,
supported approving the New Agreements.
Fees. The Boards noted that the fees payable by the Trusts under the New Agreements are identical to the fees payable under the Current Agreements. The
Boards also considered the fees paid by the MLIM closed-end funds. In light of (i) the Boards approval of the fees paid by each Trust pursuant to the Current Agreements earlier at the May 23rd meeting, (ii) the fact that the Transaction would
cause no change to the fees paid by any Trust and (iii) the Boards earlier conclusion with respect to the services expected to be provided to the Trusts under the New Agreements, the Boards concluded that the fee structure under the New
Agreements was reasonable.
Profitability. Management of the Advisors stated to the Boards that, following the Transaction, the current intention is to continue to determine
profitability and report profitability to the Boards in the same way as they did prior to the Transaction, subject to managements desire to preserve the best practices of MLIM. Management of the Advisors stated that any changes in the methods
used to determine profitability and report profitability to the Boards would be discussed with the Boards. The Boards considered the potential for increased economies of scale as a result of the Transaction and whether any economies of scale should
be reflected in the Trusts fee structures. The Boards also considered that the process of integrating the operations of the Advisors and MLIM was in the early stages and that considerable expense would be incurred in connection with
integrating such operations, all of which made it difficult to conclude that economies of scale would be real-
87
ized as a result of the Transaction. In light of the foregoing, the Boards concluded that, at this time, no changes were necessary to the fee structure of the Trusts as a result of the Transaction.
Other Benefits. In evaluating ancillary benefits to be received by the Advisors and their affiliates under the New Agreements, the Boards considered
whether the Transaction would have an impact on the ancillary benefits received by the Advisors by virtue of the Current Agreements. Based on its review of the materials provided, including materials received in connection with its approval of the
continuance of each Current Agreement earlier at the May 23rd meeting of the Boards and its discussions with the Advisors, the Boards noted that such benefits were difficult to quantify with certainty at this time and indicated that it would
continue to evaluate them going forward.
Conclusion with respect to the New Agreements. The Boards did not identify any single consequence of the Transaction discussed above as all-important or
controlling. The Boards, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved each New Agreement and unanimously recommend its approval by shareholders of each respective Trust in order to assure continuity of investment advisory
services to the Trusts after the Transaction.
Shareholder Meeting
At the shareholder meeting for each Trust held on August 23, 2006, the shareholders of each Trust approved the New Agreements for each Trust. Appendix E to the proxy statement used in
connection with the shareholder meetings incorrectly stated the management fee to be paid by BBK, BZA, BIE, BZM, BLJ, BQH and BHV as 0.55% of the average weekly value of those Trusts managed assets. After the shareholder meetings, the Board of
each of these Trusts took additional action to ensure that the Board and the shareholders approved the same agreements, in the form approved by shareholders at their meeting.

BlackRock Closed-End Funds Transfer Agent The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called householding and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the
mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (800)699-1BFM.
The Trusts have delegated to the Advisor the voting of proxies relating to their voting securities pursuant to the Advisors proxy voting policies and procedures. You may obtain a copy of these proxy voting policies
and procedures, without charge, by calling (800) 699-1BFM. These policies and procedures are also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) at http://www.sec.gov.
Information on how proxies relating to the Trusts voting securities were voted (if any) by the Advisor during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30th is available, upon request, by calling (800) 699-1BFM or on

Item 2. Code of Ethics. The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that applies to the Registrants principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or
persons performing similar functions. A copy of the code of ethics is
available without charge at www.blackrock.com.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert. The Registrants Board of Trustees has determined that it has three audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee, each of whom is an independent Trustee: Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer, Mr. Kent Dixon and Mr. Frank
Fabozzi. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an expert for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of
1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities
that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the
Registrants annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $15,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31,
2006 and $10,600 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005.
(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably
related to the performance of the audit of the Registrants financial statements and are not reported above in Item 4(a) were $2,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 and $1,900 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. The
nature of the service includes assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements not included in Audit Fees.
(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice
and tax planning were $8,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 and $7,700 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. The nature of the services was federal, state and local income and excise tax return preparation and related advice
and planning and miscellaneous tax advice.
(d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services
reported above in Items 4(a) through (c) were $0 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 and $200 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. The nature of the service includes a review of compliance
procedures and provides an attestation regarding such review.
(e) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.
(1) The Registrant has polices and procedures (the Policy) for the pre-approval by the Registrants Audit Committee of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Services (as each is defined in the Policy)
provided by the Trusts independent auditor (the Independent Auditor) to the Registrant and other Covered Entities (as defined below). 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.
For the purposes of the Policy, Covered Services means (A) all engagements for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Independent Auditor to the Trust and (B) all engagements for
non-audit services related directly to the operations and financial reporting or the Trust to be provided by the Independent Auditor to any Covered Entity, Covered Entities means (1) the Advisor or (2) any entity controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Trust.
In the intervals between the scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority under this Policy to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (the Chairman).
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. Pre-approval of Covered Services by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority is expected to be the exception rather than the rule and the
Audit Committee may modify or withdraw this delegated authority at any time the Audit Committee determines that it is appropriate to do so.
Fee levels for all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditor and pre-approved under this Policy will be established annually by the Audit Committee and set forth in the Service
Pre-Approval Documents. Any increase in pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
The terms and fees of the annual Audit services engagement for the Trust are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated
authority) will approve, if necessary, any changes in
terms, conditions or fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Trust structure or other matters.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, any other Audit services for the Trust not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the
respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are not required for the audit, but are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements of the
Registrant and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the other Covered Entities (as defined in the Joint Audit Committee Charter) or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditor. Audit-Related services that are Covered Services
and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditor can provide Tax services to the Covered Entities such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditors
independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Independent Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the
tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Tax services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically
pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
All Other services that are covered and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant
to delegated authority).
Requests or applications to provide Covered Services that require approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) must be submitted to the Audit Committee or the
Chairman, as the case may be, by both the Independent Auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the respective Covered Entity, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, (a) the request or application is consistent with the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on auditor independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. 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.
(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrants accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, the Advisor (except for any sub-advisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with
or overseen by another
investment advisor) or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for each of the last two fiscal years were $286,200 for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2006 and $286,200 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005.
(h) The Registrants Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrants investment advisor (not including any sub-advisor whose role
is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment advisor) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant
that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountants independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
The Registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee of the Registrant is comprised of: Dr. Andrew F.
Brimmer; Richard E. Cavanagh; Kent Dixon and Frank Fabozzi.
Item 6. Schedule of Investments.
The Registrants Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to Shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
The Registrant has delegated the voting of proxies relating to its voting securities to its investment advisor, BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the Advisor) and its sub-advisor, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the
Sub-Advisor). The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Advisor and Sub-Advisor (the Proxy Voting Policies) are attached as an Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL hereto.
Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies
(a)(1) The Registrant is managed by a team of investment professionals comprised of Michael A. Kalinoski, Director at BlackRock, Theodore R. Jaeckel, Jr., CFA, Managing Director at BlackRock, and Walter OConnor, Managing Director
at BlackRock. Each is a member of BlackRocks municipal tax-exempt management group. Mr. Jaeckel and Mr. OConnor are responsible for setting the Funds overall investment strategy and overseeing the management of the Fund. Mr. Kalinoski is the
Funds lead portfolio manager and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds portfolio and the selection of its investments. Messrs. Jaeckel and OConnor have been members of the Funds management team since 2006 and Mr. Kalinoski
has been the Funds portfolio manager since 2006.
Mr. Jaeckel joined BlackRock in 2006. Prior to joining BlackRock, he was a Managing Director (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. (MLIM) from 2005 to 2006 and a Director of MLIM from
1997 to 2005. He has been a portfolio manager with BlackRock or MLIM since 1991.
Mr. OConnor joined BlackRock in 2006. Prior to joining BlackRock, he was a Managing Director (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of MLIM from 2003 to 2006 and was a Director of MLIM from 1997 to 2002. He has been a portfolio
manager with BlackRock or MLIM since 1991.
Mr. Kalinoski joined BlackRock in 2006. Prior to joining BlackRock, he was a Director (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of MLIM since 2006 and was a Vice President of MLIM from 1999 to 2006. He has been a portfolio manager
with BlackRock or MLIM since 1999.
(a)(2) As of October 2, 2006, Michael Kalinoski managed or was a member of the management team for the following client accounts:
As of October 2, 2006, Ted Jaeckel managed or was a member of the management team for the following client accounts:
As of October 2, 2006, Walter OConnor managed or was a member of the management team for the following client accounts:
BlackRock has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account
over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to
ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Registrant, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make
investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may
be the same as or different from those made to the Registrant. In addition, BlackRock, its affiliates and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends
to the Registrant. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates, or any officer, director, stockholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Registrant by BlackRock with respect to the same
securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRocks (or its affiliates) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies
as to which BlackRock or any of its affiliates or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Each portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose
investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for the Registrant. In this connection, it should be noted that the portfolio management team may manage certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, the
portfolio management team may assist in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred.
Additional
portfolio managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees.
As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated
in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock has adopted a policy that is
intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among client accounts over time. This policy also seeks to achieve reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to
allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base.
(a)(3) The elements of total compensation for portfolio managers on BlackRocks
municipal team include a fixed base salary, annual
performance-based cash and stock compensation (cash and stock bonus) and
other benefits. BlackRock has balanced these components of pay to provide these
portfolio managers with a powerful incentive to achieve consistently superior
investment performance. By design, compensation levels for these portfolio
managers fluctuate--both up and down--with the relative investment performance
of the portfolios that they manage.
Base compensation. Like that of many asset management firms, base salaries represent a relatively small portion of a portfolio managers total compensation. This
approach serves to enhance the motivational value of the performance-based (and therefore variable) compensation elements of the compensation program.
Performance-Based Compensation. BlackRock believes that the best interests of investors are served by recruiting and retaining
exceptional asset management talent and managing their compensation within a consistent and disciplined framework that emphasizes pay for performance in the context of an intensely competitive market for talent. To that end, BlackRock and its
affiliates portfolio manager incentive compensation is based on a formulaic compensation program.
BlackRocks formulaic portfolio manager compensation program includes: investment performance relative
to the Long Bond (22+) component of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, the 10-year United States Treasury note, certain customized indices
and fund industry peer groups. Portfolio managers
are compensated based on the pre-tax performance of the products they manage. If a portfolio managers tenure is less than 5
years, performance periods will reflect time in position. Portfolio managers are compensated based on products they manage. A discretionary element of portfolio manager compensation may include consideration of: financial results, expense control,
profit margins, strategic planning and implementation, quality of client service, market share, corporate reputation, capital allocation, compliance and risk control, leadership, workforce diversity, supervision, technology and innovation. BlackRock
and its affiliates also consider the extent to which individuals exemplify and foster BlackRocks principles of client focus, respect for the individual,
teamwork, responsible citizenship and integrity. All factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management.
Cash Bonus
Performance-based compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total
compensation for portfolio managers.
Stock Bonus
A portion of the dollar value of the total annual performance-based bonus is paid in restricted shares of BlackRock stock. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a
portfolio manager for a given year at risk based on the companys ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods. The ultimate value of stock bonuses is dependent on future BlackRock stock price performance. As such, the stock
bonus aligns each portfolio managers financial interests with those of the BlackRock shareholders and encourages a balance between short-term goals and long-term strategic objectives. Management strongly believes that providing a significant
portion of competitive performance-based compensation in stock is in the best interests of investors and shareholders. This approach ensures that portfolio managers participate as shareholders in both the downside risk and upside opportunity of
the companys performance. Portfolio managers therefore have a direct incentive to protect BlackRocks reputation for integrity.
Other Compensation Programs
Portfolio managers who meet relative investment performance and financial management objectives during a performance year are eligible to participate in a deferred cash program. Awards under this
program are in the form of deferred cash that may be benchmarked to a menu of BlackRock mutual funds (including their own fund) during a five-year vesting period. The deferred cash program aligns the interests of participating portfolio managers
with the investment results of BlackRock products and promotes continuity of successful portfolio management teams.
Other Benefits
Portfolio managers are also eligible to participate in broad-based plans offered generally to employees of BlackRock and its affiliates, including broad-based retirement, 401(k), health, and other
employee benefit plans.
(a)(4) As of August 31, 2006, the end of the Registrants most recently completed fiscal year, the dollar range of securities beneficially owned by each portfolio manager in the Registrant is shown below:

Ted Jaeckel: None
