2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2011

D ear Shareholder

Over the past 12 months, we have seen a sluggish, stimulus-driven economic recovery at long last gain real traction, accelerate, and transition into a consumption-driven expansion. For the most part, 2010 was plagued with widely fluctuating economic data, but as the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural problems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement. Although the sovereign debt crises and emerging market inflation that troubled the global economy in 2010 remain a challenge, overall investor sentiment considerably improved. Near the end of the period, geopolitical tensions across the Middle East North Africa (“MENA”) region along with rising oil prices introduced new cause for concern about the future of the global economy. As of this writing, economic news remains fairly positive although we face additional uncertainties related to the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Japan, with particular focus on the damage to nuclear power plants.

In the United States, strength from the corporate sector and increasing consumer spending have been key drivers of economic growth, while the housing and labor markets have been the heaviest burdens. While housing has yet to show any meaningful sign of improvement, labor statistics have delivered a mixed bag month after month, but became increasingly encouraging toward the end of the period when the unemployment rate fell to its lowest level since April 2009.

Global equity markets experienced uneven growth and high volatility over the course of 2010, but ended the year strong. Following a strong start to 2011, stocks lost their momentum on the back of geopolitical events in the MENA region and a sharp rise in oil prices. Overall, equities posted strong returns for the 12-month period. US stocks outpaced most international markets and small cap stocks outperformed large caps as investors moved into higher-risk assets.

Fixed income markets saw yields trend lower over most of 2010, until the fourth quarter brought an abrupt reversal in sentiment and risk tolerance that drove yields sharply upward (pushing bond prices down) through year end. Improving economic data continued to pressure fixed income yields in 2011; however, escalating geopolitical risks have acted as a counterweight, restoring relative stability to yield movements. Nevertheless, the yield curve remained steep and higher-risk sectors outperformed the fixed income market.

The tax-exempt municipal market enjoyed a powerful rally during the period of low interest rates in 2010; however, when the yield trend reversed, the market was dealt an additional blow as it became evident that the Build America Bond program would expire at year end. In addition, negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments damaged investor confidence and further heightened volatility in the municipal market. Tax-exempt mutual funds experienced heavy outflows, resulting in wider quality spreads and further downward pressure on municipal bond prices. These headwinds began to abate as the period came to a close and municipals finally posted gains in February, following a five-month run of negative performance.

Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

T rust Summary as of February 28, 2011 BlackRock Core Bond Trust

Investment Objective

BlackRock Core Bond Trust’s (BHK) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 75% of its assets in bonds that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Trust’s investments will include a broad range of bonds, including corporate bonds, US government and agency securities and mortgage-related securities. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

| | How did
the Trust perform? |
| --- | --- |
| • | For the six months ended
February 28, 2011, the Trust returned (8.46)% based on market price and (1.21)% based on
net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Corporate
Debt Funds BBB-Rated category posted an average return of (0.83)% based on
market price and 2.73% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of
dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period,
accounts for the difference between performance based on price and
performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance
based on NAV. |
| | What
factors influenced performance? |
| • | The largest individual
factor impacting the Trust’s performance relative to its Lipper category competitors, many of which
carry a lower average credit quality and/or a higher allocation to spread
assets (those driven by movements in credit risk), is the Trust’s
high-quality bias. This bias hurt performance for the period as spread
sectors and lower-quality risk assets generally outperformed US Treasuries
and government-related assets. In addition, the Trust carried a higher
duration (sensitivity to interest rates) relative to its Lipper category average,
which detracted from relative performance as interest rates rose
significantly in the fourth quarter of 2010. |
| • | Contributing positively to
performance on an absolute basis was the Trust’s exposure to non-government spread sectors,
such as investment grade credit, non-agency residential mortgage-backed
securities (“MBS”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Also contributing
positively were allocations to high yield corporate credit and commercial
mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), which were among the best performing
fixed income sectors during the period. |
| • | The Trust engaged in
financial futures contracts and interest rate options (swaptions) for purposes of hedging and
managing risks related to duration and yield curve positioning. As interest
rates rose during the period, the Trust’s interest rate options (swaptions)
had a positive impact on performance while financial futures contracts
detracted. |
| | Describe
recent portfolio activity. |
| • | During the period, the
Trust gradually increased its use of leverage and added exposure to corporate credit and
high-quality securitized debt, including CMBS and ABS. In addition, the Trust
reduced its duration during the period. |
| | Describe
portfolio positioning at period end. |
| • | At period end, the Trust
maintained a diversified exposure to non-government spread sectors, including
investment grade credit, high yield corporate credit, CMBS, ABS and
non-agency residential MBS. The Trust also held allocations to
government-related sectors such US Treasuries, agency debt and agency MBS. |

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2011 5

Trust Summary as of February 28, 2011 BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund V, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund V, Inc.’s (HYV) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities that are rated in the lower rating categories of the established rating services (BB or lower by S&P or Ba or lower by Moody’s) or in unrated securities considered by the Trust’s investment adviser to be of comparable quality. The Trust also seeks to provide shareholders with capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in domestic and foreign high yield debt instruments, including high yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk” bonds) and high yield corporate loans which are below investment grade quality. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

| | How did
the Trust perform? |
| --- | --- |
| • | For the six months ended
February 28, 2011, the Trust returned 8.59% based on market price and 14.21% based on
NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Current Yield Funds
(Leveraged) category posted an average return of 9.98% based on market price
and 12.87% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The
Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the
difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV.
The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
| | What
factors influenced performance? |
| • | High yield bonds
outperformed the broader fixed income market as risk assets rallied during the period.
Lower-quality high yield bonds outperformed higher-quality issues. The bank loan
sector also posted strong returns, but underperformed high yield. The largest
contributor to the Trust’s performance was individual security selection,
particularly among lower-quality credits and special situations in the
automotive sector, including manufacturers of automobiles, auto parts and
components. Within the Trust’s small allocation to common stocks, its
holdings in Delphi boosted returns. The Trust’s limited exposure to
high-quality, non-investment grade proved beneficial, as did its large allocation
to lower-quality credits later in the period. |
| • | During the period, the
Trust maintained leverage at an average amount between 20% and 22% of its total managed
assets, which detracted from relative performance versus competitors that
maintained higher levels of leverage, as would be expected when markets are
advancing. During most of the period, the Trust held a significant position
in mid-tier speculative grade names, which detracted modestly as they
underperformed their lower-quality counterparts. Also having a negative
impact was the Trust’s exposure to floating rate loan interests; however, the
Trust continues to hold a number of loans issued by speculative companies
where we believe the loans are the most attractive instrument in the company’s
capital structure. |
| | Describe
recent portfolio activity. |
| • | Over the period, the Trust
shifted its overall positioning from a more conservative stance to that which is more consistent
with a gradually improving economy. The Trust reduced its exposure to the
automotive sector and increased exposure to lower-quality credits as well as
sectors where companies are positioned to benefit from rising commodity
prices. |
| | Describe
portfolio positioning at period end. |
| • | At period end, the Trust
held 80% of its total portfolio in corporate bonds, 12% in floating rate loan interests, 6% in
common stocks and 2% in preferred stocks. Cash positions were negligible for
most of the period. The Trust ended the period with leverage at approximately
24% of its total managed assets. |

Trust Summary as of February 28, 2011 BlackRock High Income Shares

Investment Objective

BlackRock High Income Shares’ (HIS) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to provide the highest current income attainable consistent with reasonable risk as determined by the Trust’s investment adviser, through investment in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of high yield, high risk fixed income securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The Trust’s secondary objective is to provide capital appreciation, but only when consistent with its primary objective. The Trust seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in high yield, high risk debt instruments rated in the medium to lower categories by nationally recognized rating services (BBB or lower by S&P or Baa or lower by Moody’s) or non-rated securities, which, in the investment adviser’s opinion, are of comparable quality. Under normal market conditions, the average maturity of the Trust’s portfolio is between eight and twelve years. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved.

Investment Objective

BlackRock High Yield Trust’s (BHY) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to provide high current income. The Trust’s secondary investment objective is to provide capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its objectives by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in high-risk, high yield bonds and other such securities, such as preferred stocks, which are rated below investment grade. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

| | How did
the Trust perform? |
| --- | --- |
| • | For the six months ended
February 28, 2011, the Trust returned 9.00% based on market price and
12.85% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Current
Yield Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 9.98% based on
market price and 12.87% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of
dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period,
accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance
based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
| | What
factors influenced performance? |
| • | High yield bonds
outperformed the broader fixed income market as risk assets rallied
during the period. Lower-quality high yield bonds outperformed higher-quality
issues. The bank loan sector also posted strong returns, but underperformed
high yield. Given the advancing market, the Trust’s use of leverage had a
positive impact on returns on an absolute basis. However, the Trust maintains
a lower level of leverage (at an average amount between 15% and 18% of its
total managed assets) than the average level maintained by its Lipper
category competitors, which detracted from performance on a relative basis. |
| • | During most of the period, the
Trust held a significant position in mid-tier speculative grade names,
which detracted modestly as they underperformed their lower-quality
counterparts. Also having a negative impact was the Trust’s exposure to
floating rate loan interests; however, the Trust continues to hold a number
of loans issued by speculative companies where we believe the loans are the
most attractive instrument in the company’s capital structure. |
| • | Contributing positively to
performance was individual security selection, particularly among
lower-quality credits and special situations in the automotive sector,
including manufacturers of automobiles, auto parts and components. Within the
Trust’s small allocation to common stocks, its holdings in Delphi boosted
returns. The Trust’s limited exposure to high-quality, non-investment grade
proved beneficial, as did its large allocation to lower-quality credits later
in the period. |
| | Describe
recent portfolio activity. |
| • | Over the period, the Trust
shifted its overall positioning from a more conservative stance to
that which is more consistent with a gradually improving economy. The Trust
reduced its exposure to the automotive sector and increased exposure to
lower-quality credits as well as sectors where companies are positioned to
benefit from rising commodity prices. |
| | Describe
portfolio positioning at period end. |
| • | At period end, the Trust
held 85% of its total portfolio in corporate bonds, 12% in floating
rate loan interests and 3% in stocks. Cash positions were negligible for most
of the period. The Trust ended the period with leverage at approximately 18%
of its total managed assets. |

Portfolio Management Commentary

| | How did
the Trust perform? |
| --- | --- |
| • | For the six months ended
February 28, 2011, the Trust returned (6.69)% based on market price and
(1.64)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Corporate
Debt Funds BBB-Rated category posted an average return of (0.83)% based on
market price and 2.73% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of
dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period,
accounts for the difference between performance based on price and
performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance
based on NAV. |
| | What
factors influenced performance? |
| • | The largest individual
factor impacting performance relative to its Lipper category
competitors, many of which carry a lower average credit quality and/or a
higher allocation to spread assets (those driven by movements in credit
risk), is the Trust’s high-quality bias. This bias hurt performance for the
period as spread sectors and lower-quality risk assets generally outperformed
US Treasuries and government-related assets. In addition, the Trust carried a
higher duration (sensitivity to interest rates) relative to its Lipper
category average, which detracted from relative performance as interest rates
rose significantly in the fourth quarter of 2010. |
| • | Contributing positively to
performance on an absolute basis was the Trust’s exposure to
non-government spread sectors, such as investment grade credit, non-agency
residential MBS and ABS. Also contributing positively were allocations to
high yield corporate credit and CMBS, which were among the best performing
fixed income sectors during the period. |
| • | The Trust engaged in
financial futures contracts for purposes of hedging and managing risks
related to duration and yield curve positioning. As interest rates rose
during the period, the Trust’s financial futures contracts had a negative
impact on performance. |
| | Describe
recent portfolio activity. |
| • | During the period, the
Trust gradually reduced its exposure to agency MBS, while it increased
exposure to corporate credit and reduced the duration of its portfolio. |
| | Describe
portfolio positioning at period end. |
| • | At period end, the Trust
maintained a diversified exposure to non-government spread sectors,
including investment grade credit, high yield corporate credit, CMBS, ABS and
non-agency residential MBS. The Trust also held allocations to
government-related sectors such US Treasuries, agency debt and agency MBS. |

Investment Objective

BlackRock Strategic Bond Trust’s (BHD) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through high current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities including corporate bonds, US government and agency securities, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities and other types of fixed income securities. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, a significant portion of its assets in corporate fixed income securities that are below investment grade quality, including high-risk, high yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk” bonds) and other such securities, such as preferred stocks. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

T he Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

The Trusts may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.

The Trusts may utilize leverage by borrowing through a credit facility, participation in the TALF, or through entering into reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by each Trust on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Trust (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Trust’s shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.

The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share NAV. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. If the yield curve becomes negatively sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates, income to shareholders will be lower than if the Trusts had not used leverage.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trust’s capitalization is $100 million and it borrows for an additional $30 million, creating a total value of $130 million available for investment in long-term securities. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Trust pays borrowing costs and interest expense on the $30 million of borrowings based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Trust with assets received from the borrowings earn income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the borrowing costs and interest expense of the borrowings is significantly lower than the income earned on the Trust’s long-term investments, and therefore the shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.

If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of 6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Trust pays interest expense on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Trust’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of the Trusts’ portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption value of the Trusts’ borrowings does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Trusts’ NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Trust performance from leverage and borrowings discussed above.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Trusts and shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will generally cause greater changes in the Trusts’ NAVs, market prices and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, each Trust’s net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Trust’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to shareholders will be reduced. Each Trust may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Trust to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Trust’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. Each Trust will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by shareholders and may reduce income.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trusts are permitted to borrow through their credit facility, through participation in the TALF or entering into reverse repurchase agreements up to 33 1 / 3 % of their total managed assets. As of February 28, 2011, the Trusts had outstanding leverage from borrowings as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

| | Percent
of Leverage |
| --- | --- |
| BHK | 29% |
| HYV | 24% |
| HYT | 23% |
| HIS | 18% |
| BHY | 18% |
| BNA | 30% |
| BKT | 16% |
| BHD | 22% |

D erivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial futures contracts, swaps, options and foreign currency exchange contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity, credit, foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate and/or other risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Trusts’ ability to use a derivative instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Trust to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Trust to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by
one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or
as defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of

| • | Fair Value Measurements —
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivatives. These inputs
are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes as
follows: | |
| | • | Level 1 — price quotations
in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | • | Level 2 — other observable
inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves,
volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| | • | Level 3 — unobservable
inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable
inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in
determining the fair value of investments and derivatives) |
| | The inputs or
methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication
of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivatives and
other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to
Financial Statements. | |

| • | Fair Value Measurements —
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivatives. These inputs
are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes as
follows: | |
| | • | Level 1 — price quotations
in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | • | Level 2 — other observable
inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| | • | Level 3 — unobservable
inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable
inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining
the fair value of investments) |
| | The inputs or methodologies
used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk
associated with investing in those securities. For information about the
Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivatives and other
significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to
Financial Statements. | |

| • | Fair Value Measurements —
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivatives. These inputs
are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes as
follows: | |
| | • | Level 1 — price quotations
in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | • | Level 2 — other observable
inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| | • | Level 3 — unobservable
inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable
inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in
determining the fair value of investments and derivatives) |
| | The inputs or methodologies
used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated
with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy
regarding valuation of investments and derivatives and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements. | |

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Core Bond Trust (“BHK”), BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund V, Inc. (“HYV”), BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund VI, Inc. (“HYT”), BlackRock High Income Shares (“HIS”), BlackRock High Yield Trust (“BHY”), BlackRock Income Opportunity Trust, Inc. (“BNA”), BlackRock Income Trust, Inc. (“BKT”) and BlackRock Strategic Bond Trust (“BHD”) (collectively the “Trusts” or individually as a “Trust”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. HYV, HYT, BNA and BKT are organized as Maryland corporations. BHK, BHY and BHD are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. HIS is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Trust’s Board of Directors/Trustees are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board.” The Trusts determine and make available for publication the net asset values of their Common Shares on a daily basis.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts:

Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trusts’ would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trusts fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The Trusts value their bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. TBA commitments are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by pricing services. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Trusts’ pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows and trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

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. In determining the value of a particular

investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security.

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and swaptions are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of each Trust’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Trusts’ books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date the transactions are entered into. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Trusts’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.

The Trusts report realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Certain Trusts may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets, or as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, and are generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security subject to such a prepayment feature will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. If the Trust has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.

Certain Trusts may purchase certain mortgage pass-through securities. There are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the US government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States and are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.

Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities: Certain Trusts may invest in multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These multiple class securities may be issued by Ginnie Mae, US government agencies or instrumentalities or by trusts formed by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans. In general, CMOs are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by, and multiple class pass-through securities represent direct ownership interests in, a pool of residential or commercial mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”), the payments on which are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Classes of CMOs include IOs, principal only (“POs”), planned amortization classes and targeted amortization classes. IOs and POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the rate at which the principal is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated pre-payments of principal, the Trust may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Trusts may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.

Capital Trusts: Certain Trusts may invest in capital trusts. These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual or stated maturity date. Dividends can be deferred without creating an event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market. Payments on these securities are treated as interest rather than dividends for federal income tax purposes. These securities generally are rated below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities.

Preferred Stock: Certain Trusts may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2011 119

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Floating Rate Loan Interests: Certain Trusts may invest in floating rate loan interests. The floating rate loan interests the Trusts hold are typically issued to companies (the “borrower”) by banks, other financial institutions, and privately and publicly offered corporations (the “lender”). Floating rate loan interests are generally non-investment grade, often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Trusts may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Floating rate loan interests may include fully funded term loans or revolving lines of credit. Floating rate loan interests are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. Floating rate loan interests generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally the lending rate offered by one or more European banks, such as LIBOR (London Inter Bank Offered Rate), the prime rate offered by one or more US banks or the certificate of deposit rate. Floating rate loan interests may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. The Trusts consider these investments to be investments in debt securities for purposes of their investment policies.

When a Trust buys a floating rate loan interest it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan interest it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, the Trusts may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit amount of a floating rate loan interest. The Trusts earns and/or pays facility and other fees on floating rate loan interests, which are shown as facility and other fees in the Statements of Operations. Facility and commitment fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan or term of the commitment, respectively. Consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned. Prepayment penalty fees, which may be received by the Trusts upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. The Trusts may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.

Floating rate loan interests are usually freely callable at the borrower’s option. The Trusts may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) or assignments (“Assignments”) of all or a portion of loans from third parties. Participations typically will result in the Trusts having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Trusts will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Trusts generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of offset against the borrower, and the Trusts may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Trusts will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. The Trusts’ investment in loan participation interests involves the risk of insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the Participation, the Trusts may be treated as general creditors of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower. Assignments typically result in the Trusts having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Trusts may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

Borrowed Bond Agreements: Certain Trusts may enter into borrowed bond agreements. In a borrowed bond agreement, each Trust borrows a bond from a counterparty in exchange for cash collateral with the commitment that the security and the cash will be returned to the counterparty and the Trusts, respectively, at a mutually agreed upon rate and date. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Borrowed bond agreements are entered into primarily in connection with short sales of bonds. Earnings on cash collateral and compensation to the lender of the bond are based on agreed upon rates between the Trusts and the counterparty. The value of the underlying cash collateral approximates the market value and accrued interest of the borrowed bond. To the extent that a borrowed bond transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the cash collateral in the possession of the counterparty is monitored on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. As the market value of the borrowed bond changes, the cash collateral is periodically increased or decreased with a frequency and in amounts prescribed in the borrowed bond agreement. Full realization of the collateral by the Trusts may be limited if the value of an investment purchased with the cash collateral by the lender decreases. The Trusts may also experience delays in gaining access to the collateral.

TBA Commitments: Certain Trusts may enter into TBA commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. The Trusts generally enter into TBA commitments with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage-backed securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date.

Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions: Certain Trusts may sell TBA mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specific future date at an agreed upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Trusts will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. The Trusts account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions may increase the Trusts’ portfolio turnover rate. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Trusts are required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.

Treasury Roll Transactions: Certain Trusts may enter into treasury roll transactions. In a treasury roll transaction the Trusts sell a Treasury security to a counterparty with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed upon price and future settlement date. The Trusts received cash from the sale of the Treasury security to use for other investment purposes. For US GAAP purposes, a treasury roll transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing and not as a purchase or sale. The difference between the sale price and repurchase price represents net interest income or net interest expense reflective of an agreed upon rate between the Trusts and the counterparty over the term of the borrowing. The Trusts will benefit from the transaction if the income earned on the investment purchased with the cash

120 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2011

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

received in the treasury roll transaction exceeds the interest expense incurred by the Trusts. If the interest expense exceeds the income earned, the Trusts’ net investment income and dividends to shareholders may be adversely impacted. Treasury roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Trusts are required to repurchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Certain Trusts may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Trusts sell securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. The Trusts may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Trusts are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Trusts’ use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted while the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Trusts’ obligation to repurchase the securities.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Trusts either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, TBA sale commitments, financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, short sales, structured options and options written), or certain borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements, treasury roll transactions, TALF loan and loan payable), the Trusts will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on their 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. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets. Consent fees are compensation for agreeing to changes in the terms of debt instruments and are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax return of capital. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.

Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Each Trust files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on BHY, BNA, BKT and BHD’s US federal tax returns remains open for the year ended October 31, 2007, the period ended August 31, 2008 and for each of the two years ended August 31, 2010. The statute of limitations on BHK and HIS’s US federal tax returns remains open for the year ended December 31, 2007, the period ended August 31, 2008 and for each of the two years ended August 31, 2010. The statute of limitations on HYV and HYT’s tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended August 31, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. There are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) may 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 certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover each Trust’s deferred compensation liability, if any, are included in other assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in dividend — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. The Trusts have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2011 121

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Trusts engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Trusts and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or other risk (inflation risk). These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Trusts’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral pledged by/posted to the counterparty. For OTC options purchased, the Trusts bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral received on the options should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written obligate the Trusts to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.

The Trusts may mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement implemented between a Trust and each of its respective counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows each Trust to offset with each separate counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is generally based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Trusts bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. In addition, the Trusts manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Trusts’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Trusts fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Trusts to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Financial Futures Contracts: The Trusts purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) or changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Trusts and the counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Trusts agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Trusts as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Trusts enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Trusts, help to manage the overall exposure to the currency backing some of the investments held by the Trusts. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Trusts as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that a counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

Options: The Trusts purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk and/or interest rate risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Trusts purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Trusts is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Trusts realize a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Trusts write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Trusts hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Trusts write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

122 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2011

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Options on swaps (swaptions) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate swap agreement (interest rate risk and/or credit risk) at any time before the expiration of the option.

The Trusts also purchase or sell listed or OTC foreign currency options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). When foreign currency is purchased or sold through an exercise of a foreign currency option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the foreign currency acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the foreign currency sold. Such transactions may be effected with respect to hedges on non-US dollar denominated instruments owned by the Trusts but not yet delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Trusts.

In purchasing and writing options, the Trusts bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Trusts may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Trusts purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.

Swaps: The Trusts enter into swap agreements, in which the Trusts and a counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount. These periodic payments received or made by the Trusts are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Any upfront fees paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated, the Trusts 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. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid. Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

| • | Credit default swaps — The
Trusts enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain
sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate
and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign
issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Trusts
enter into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection
against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain credit
exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of
protection). The Trusts may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps
on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of
single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name
issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the
seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific
payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the
referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators,
repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded
indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the
seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific
payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of
all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer,
if an underlying credit event occurs, the Trusts will either receive from the
seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the
referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or receive
a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the
recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.
As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Trusts will
either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and
take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising
the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the
swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising
the index. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Total return swaps — The
Trusts enter into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a security or market without
owning such security or investing directly in that market or to transfer the
risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g.,
equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are
agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party
commits to make payments based on the total return (coupons plus capital
gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating
rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or
index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting
interest rate obligation, the Trusts will receive a payment from or make a
payment to the counterparty. |
| • | Interest rate swaps —
Certain Trusts enter into interest rate swaps to gain or reduce exposure to or manage duration,
the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of
the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest
rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a
stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another
party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same
notional amount for a specified period of time. Interest rate floors, which
are a type of interest rate swap, are agreements in which one party agrees to
make payments to the other party to the extent that interest rates fall below
a specified rate or floor in return for a premium. In more complex swaps, the
notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. |

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Trusts for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not.

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services for BHK, HYV, HYT, HIS and BHD.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2011 125

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The following Trusts’ investment advisory fee paid to the Manager is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Trust’s average total assets (including any assets attributable to borrowings) minus the sum of total liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage):

BHK 0.55%
HIS 0.75% of the first
$200 million and
0.50% thereafter
BHY 1.05%
BHD 0.75%

The following Trusts’ investment advisory fee paid to the Manager is computed daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Trust’s average total assets (including any assets attributable to borrowings) minus the sum of total liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage):

HYV 0.60
HYT 0.70 %

The following Trusts’ investment advisory fee paid to the Manager is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Trust’s average net assets:

BNA 0.60
BKT 0.65 %

BHY, BNA and BKT each have an Administration Agreement with the Manager. The administration fee paid to the Manager is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.10% for BNA, and 0.15% for BKT, of each Trust’s average net assets and 0.10% for BHY of the Trust’s average weekly total assets.

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through each Trust’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended February 28, 2011, the amounts waived were as follows:

The Manager entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Manager with respect to BHK, HYV, HYT, HIS, and BHD. The Manager pays BFM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by each Trust to the Manager.

The Trusts may not declare dividends or make other distributions on shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding short-term borrowings is less than 300%.

During the six months ended February 28, 2011, BKT borrowed under the TALF. The TALF program was launched by the US Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board as a credit facility designed to restore liquidity to the market for asset-backed securities. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) provided up to $1 trillion in non-recourse loans to support the issuance of certain AAA-rated asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“Eligible Securities”). The Trusts posted as collateral already-held Eligible Securities, which were all commercial mortgage-backed securities, in return for non-recourse, 5-year term loans (“TALF loans”) in an amount equal to approximately 85% of the value of such Eligible Securities.

BKT 1 $10,940,517 8/28/14 3.87% $13,290,170

The non-recourse provision of the TALF loans allowed the Trusts to satisfy loan obligations with Eligible Securities, subject to certain conditions, even if the value of the Eligible Securities falls below the outstanding amount of the loan. The Trusts can repay TALF loans prior to the maturity dates with no penalty. Principal and interest due on the loans will typically be paid with principal paydowns and interest received from the Eligible Securities. Credit agreements underlying each loan contain provisions to address instances in which interest payments on Eligible Securities fall short of amounts due to the FRBNY. The Trusts paid to the FRBNY a one-time administration fee of 0.20% of the amount borrowed, which was expensed as incurred in the current period by the Trusts and is included in borrowing costs in the Statements of Operations. The Trusts also paid a financing fee equal to the 5-year LIBOR swap rate plus 1.00% on the outstanding loan amount payable monthly, which is included in interest expense in the Statements of Operations.

During the six months ended February 28, 2011, BHK and BNA repaid their outstanding TALF loans and the Eligible Securities posted as collateral were returned to the Trusts. The Trusts financed the repayment of the TALF loans by entering into reverse repurchase agreements.

Since the Trusts had the ability to potentially satisfy TALF loan obligations by surrendering Eligible Securities, potential losses by the Trusts associated with the TALF loans were limited to the difference between the amount of Eligible Securities posted at the time of loan initiation and the loan proceeds received by the Trusts.

The Trusts elected to account for the outstanding TALF loans at fair value. The Trusts elected to fair value its TALF loans to more closely align changes in the value of the TALF loans with changes in the value of the Eligible Securities and to reduce the potential volatility in the Statements of Operations which could result if only the Eligible Securities were fair valued. The TALF loans were valued utilizing quotations received from a board approved pricing service. TALF-eligible Asset-Backed Securities/Collateralized Mortgage-Backed Securities (“ABS/CMBS”) value may be affected by historic defaults and prepayments on the asset pool, expected future defaults and prepayments, current interest rate levels, current and forward modeled ABS/CMBS spread levels. Accordingly, TALF loan valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to, the following inputs: (i) ABS/CMBS prepayment assumptions, (ii) discount rates and (iii) the non-recourse put option valuation. The resulting TALF loan valuation combines the present value of the future loan cash flows, plus the value of the non-recourse option. The change in unrealized gain or loss associated with fair valuing the TALF loans is reflected in the Statements of Operations.

Weighted Average Interest Rate |
| --- | --- |
| BHK | 0.27 % |
| BNA | 0.25 % |

7. Commitments:

The Trusts may invest in floating rate loan interests. In connection with these investments, the Trusts may also enter into unfunded loan commitments (“commitments”). Commitments may obligate the Trusts to furnish temporary financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. In connection with these commitments, the Trusts earns a commitment fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, which is classified in the Statements of Operations as facility and other fees, is recognized ratably over the commitment period. As of February 28, 2011, the Trusts had the following unfunded loan commitments:

| Borrower | Unfunded Commitment | Value
of Underlying Loan |
| --- | --- | --- |
| HIS | | |
| Delphi International
Holdings | $ 36,829 | $ 35,724 |
| BHY | | |

| HIS | | |
| Delphi International
Holdings | $ 72,738 | $ 70,556 |

8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Trusts invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Trusts; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Trusts manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Trusts’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trusts.

Certain Trusts invest a significant portion of their assets in securities backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that hold mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Please see the Schedules of Investments for these securities. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults on assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.

9. Capital Share Transactions:

There are 200 million of $0.01 par value shares authorized for BNA and BKT. There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares authorized for BHK, BHY and BHD. There are an unlimited number of no par value shares authorized for HIS. There are 200 million of $0.10 par value shares authorized for HYV and HYT. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

For the six months ended February 28, 2011 and the year ended August 31, 2010, shares issued and outstanding increased by the following amounts as a result of dividend reinvestments:

HYT — 7,573

132 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2011

Additional Information (continued)

Dividend Policy

The Trusts’ dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net investment income to their shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Trusts may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Trusts for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Trusts during such month. The Trusts’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

General Information

The Trusts do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Trusts’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Trust has not been updated after completion of the respective Trust’s offerings and the information contained in each Trust’s Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated.

During the period, there were no materIal changes in the Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charter or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Trusts that were not approved by shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. Other than as disclosed below, there have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolio.

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other information regarding the Trusts may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding the Trusts and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website into this report.

Electronic Delivery

Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Trusts’ website or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly statements, annual and semi-annual reports by enrolling in the Trusts’ electronic delivery program.

Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks or Brokerages:

Please contact your financial advisor to enroll. Please note that not all investment advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.

Householding

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 call (800) 441-7762.

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

Each Trust files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Trusts’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330. Each Trust’s Forms N-Q may also be obtained upon request and without charge by calling (800) 441-7762.

Availability of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

A description of the policies and procedures that the Trusts use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 441-7762; (2) at http://www.blackrock.com; and (3) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Availability of Proxy Voting Record

Information about how the Trusts voted proxies relating to securities held in the Trusts’ portfolios during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available upon request and without charge (1) at http://www.blackrock.com or by calling (800) 441-7762 and (2) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Availability of Trust Updates

BlackRock will update performance and certain other data for the Trusts on a monthly basis on its website in the “Closed-end Funds” section of http://www.blackrock.com. Investors and others are advised to periodically check the website for updated performance information and the release of other material information about the Trusts.

Additional Information (continued)

Section 19(a) Notices

These reported amounts and sources of distributions are estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Trust’s investment experience during the year and may be subject to changes based on the tax regulations. Each Trust will provide a Form 1099-DIV each calendar year that will explain the character of these dividends and distributions for federal income tax purposes.

February 28, 2011
Total
Cumulative Distributions for the Fiscal Year-to-Date %
Breakdown of the Total Cumulative Distributions for the Fiscal Year-to-Date
Net Investment Income Net Realized Capital Gains Return of Capital Total
Per Common Share Net Investment Income Net Realized Capital Gains Return of Capital Total

BHY $ 0.2610 — — $ 0.2610 100 % 0 % 0 % 100 %
BKT $ 0.1515 — — $ 0.1515 100 % 0 % 0 % 100 %

Each Trust estimates that it has distributed more than the amount of earned income and net realized gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment in a Trust is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Trust’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’
