NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization & Accounting Policies
BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (Municipal Investment Quality) was organized as a Maryland corporation on November 19, 1992. BlackRock California Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (California Investment Quality), BlackRock New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (New Jersey Investment Quality) and BlackRock New York Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (New York Investment Quality) were organized as Maryland corporations on April 12, 1993. BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust (Florida Investment Quality) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 15, 1993. Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality are herein referred to as the Investment Quality Trusts. BlackRock Municipal Income Trust (Municipal Income), BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust (California Income), BlackRock Florida Municipal Income Trust (Florida Income), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust (New Jersey Income) and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust (New York Income) (collectively the Income Trusts) were organized as Delaware statutory trusts on March 30, 2001. The Investment Quality Trusts and the Income Trusts are referred to herein collectively as the Trusts. Municipal Investment Quality and Municipal Income are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. California Investment Quality, California Income, Florida Investment Quality, Florida Income, New Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Income, New York Investment Quality and New York Income are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by each Trust to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a state, a specific industry or region.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts.
Investments Valuation: Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a when-issued basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trusts Board of Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may be (each, a Board). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. A futures contract is valued at the last sale price as of the close of the commodities exchange on which it trades. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Any investments or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (Fair Value Assets) as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, each Trusts Board. The investment advisor and/or sub-advisor will submit its recommendations regarding the valuation and/or valuation methodologies for Fair Value Assets to a valuation committee. The valuation committee may accept, modify or reject any recommendations. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to the Board.
When determining the price for a Fair Value Asset, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. The cost of investments sold and the related gain or loss is determined by use of the specific identification method, generally first-in, first-out, for both financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes. Each Trust also records interest income on an accrual basis and amortizes premium and/or accretes discount on securities purchased using the interest method.
Financial Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument for a set price on a future date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking-to-market on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each days trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trusts basis in the contract.
Financial futures contracts, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Futures contracts can be sold to effectively shorten an otherwise longer duration portfolio. In the same sense, futures contracts can be purchased to lengthen a portfolio that is shorter than its duration target. Thus, by buying or selling futures contracts, the Trusts may attempt to manage the duration of positions so that changes in interest rates do not change the duration of the portfolio unexpectedly.
Segregation: In cases in which the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), as amended, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) require that each Trust segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities, reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the Commission, designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated.
Federal Income Taxes: It is each Trusts intention to continue to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient net income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders. For this reason no Federal income tax or excise tax provisions are required.
Dividends and Distributions: Each Trust declares and pays dividends and distributions to common shareholders monthly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss carryforwards may be distributed in accordance with the 1940 Act. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting
54
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 5.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trusts Board, non-interested Trustees/Directors (Trustees) are required to defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock closed-end trusts selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.
The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts: In order to present undistributed (distribution in excess of) net investment income (UNII), accumulated net realized gain (Accumulated Gain) and paid-in-capital (PIC) more closely to its tax character, the following accounts for each Trust were increased (decreased):
| Trust — Municipal Investment
Quality | UNII — $ (59,419 | ) | Accumulated Gain — $ 59,419 | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Municipal Income | (13,634 | ) | 13,634 | | | |
| California Investment
Quality | (16,158 | ) | 2,263 | | (18,421 | ) |
| California Income | (7,186 | ) | 7,186 | | | |
| Florida Investment Quality | (4,253 | ) | 4,253 | | | |
| Florida Income | 143 | | (143 | ) | | |
| New Jersey Investment
Quality | (72,535 | ) | 13,946 | | (86,481 | ) |
| New York Investment Quality | 3,520 | | 170 | | (3,690 | ) |
| New York Income | (3 | ) | 3 | | | |
Note 2. Agreements
Each Trust has an Investment Management Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the Advisor), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to each Trust. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The investment management agreement for each Income Trust covers both investment advisory and administration services. Each Investment Quality Trust has an Administration Agreement with the Advisor.
Each Trusts investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.35% for the Investment Quality Trusts and 0.60% for the Income Trusts, of the Trusts average weekly managed assets. Managed assets means the total assets of a Trust (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee or other expenses on the Income Trusts as a percentage of managed assets as follows: 0.25% for the first five years of each of the Trusts operations, 0.20% in year six, 0.15% in year seven, 0.10% in year eight and 0.05% in year nine.
The administration fee to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.15% for the Municipal Investment Quality Trust and 0.10% for the California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality of the Trusts average weekly managed assets.
Pursuant to the agreements, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolio and pays the compensation of officers of each Trust who are affiliated persons of the Advisor, as well as occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of each Trust. Each Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for cost of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support, and compliance services to each Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2005, the Trusts reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations:
| Trust | Amount | Trust | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Municipal Investment | |||
| Quality | $ 16,608 | Florida Income | $ 6,413 |
| Municipal Income | 35,040 | New Jersey Investment | |

| California Income | 13,819 | New York Investment Quality | 1,325 |
| Florida Investment Quality | 1,153 | New York Income | 11,987 |
Pursuant to the terms of each Trusts custody agreement, each Trust received earnings credits from its custodian for positive cash balances maintained, which are used to offset custody fees.

A Trust may not declare dividends or make other distributions on common shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding preferred shares would be less than 200%.
The preferred shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The preferred shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Trust, as set forth in each Trusts Declaration of Trust, are not satisfied.
The holders of preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of common shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of common shares as a single class. However, holders of preferred shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the 1940 Act, as amended, requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the preferred shares, (b) change a Trusts subclassification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions and (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company.
Note 6. Dividends

Note 7. Reimbursements
In December of 2003, the Advisor determined that each of the Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality had purchased high yield bonds in violation of a non-fundamental investment policy requiring their investments to be of investment grade quality at the time of purchase. The Advisor has reimbursed each of the Trusts for the realized and unrealized losses incurred from the date of purchase through December 18, 2003 as a result of these unauthorized purchases. The net realized and unrealized gains on these securities as of December 18, 2003 was $167,280 for Municipal Investment Quality, $10,779 for California Investment Quality, $46,656 for Florida Investment Quality and $4,284 for New York Investment Quality. The amount of the reimbursement for the unrealized losses was $18,421 for California Investment Quality, $86,481.10 for New Jersey Investment Quality and $3,690 for New York Investment Quality. Such amounts have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2004.

Note 8. Investment Policy
On December 18, 2003, the Board approved a resolution for each of the Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality whereby each such Trust adopted a non-fundamental investment policy permitting each Trust to invest up to 20% of its managed assets, measured at the time of purchase, in securities rated BB/Ba or B by Moodys Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poors Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc., Fitch Ratings or another nationally recognized rating agency or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable credit quality by BlackRock Advisors, Inc. or its affiliates.
Note 9. Concentration Risk
The Trusts concentrate their investments in securities issued by state agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories. The Trusts are more susceptible to adverse financial, social, environmental, economic, regulatory and political factors that may affect these states, which could seriously affect the ability of these states and their municipal subdivisions to meet continuing obligations for principle and interest payments, than if the Trusts were not concentrated in securities issued by state agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories.
Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that market value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. These securities have been identified in the Portfolios of Investments.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trusts as of October 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS
Pursuant to each Trusts Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan), common shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (the Plan Agent) in the respective Trusts shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent.
After an Investment Quality Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants account, by the purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trusts primary exchange or elsewhere (open market purchases). The Investment Quality Trusts will not issue any new shares under the Plan, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan.
After an Income Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (newly issued shares) or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share (NAV) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as market premium), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participants account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as market discount), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open market purchases.
Participants in the Plan may withdraw from the Plan upon written notice to the Plan Agent and will receive certificates for whole Trust shares and a cash payment for any fraction of a Trust share.
The Plan Agents fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agents open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.
Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan, however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, or (800) 699-1BFM.

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
At a meeting held on May 26, 2005, the Board of Trustees or the Board of Directors, as the case may be (the Board or the Trustees) of each trust in the BlackRock Closed-End Fund Complex (each a Trust), including the independent trustees (the Independent Trustees), unanimously approved the continuance of an Investment Management Agreement between each Trust and BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the Advisor). For each Investment Management Agreement, the Boards also approved a related Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, when applicable, among each respective Trust, the Advisor and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the Sub-Advisor). The Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements sometimes are referred to herein collectively as the Agreements. The Advisor and the Sub-Advisor sometimes are referred to herein collectively as BlackRock.
Information Received by the Boards
To assist each Board in its evaluation of the Agreements, the Independent Trustees received information from BlackRock on or about April 27, 2005, which detailed, among other things: the organization, business lines and capabilities of BlackRock, including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel and biographical information relating to key personnel; financial statements for BlackRock, Inc., The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and each Trust; the advisory and/or administrative fees paid by each Trust to BlackRock, including comparisons, compiled by an independent third party, with the management fees of funds with similar investment objectives (Peers); the profitability of BlackRock and certain industry profitability analyses for advisors to registered investment companies; the expenses of BlackRock in providing the various services; non-investment advisory reimbursements and fallout benefits to BlackRock; the expenses of each Trust, including comparisons of the respective Trusts expense ratios (both before and after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its Peers; and each Trusts performance for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, when applicable, as well as each Trusts performance compared to its Peers. This information supplemented the information received by each Board throughout the year regarding each Trusts performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and compliance.
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees provided a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Boards under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) as well as the general principles of relevant law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts, the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters, an advisors fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation, and the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the Boards in voting on advisory agreements.
Prior to the Board meeting, the Independent Trustees reviewed a preliminary binder of information, and, in consultation with independent counsel, submitted a memorandum on May 12, 2005, to BlackRock setting forth certain questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these questions in writing on May 24, 2005, and May 25, 2005. The Independent Trustees reviewed these responses with independent counsel on May 25, 2005.
At the Board meeting on May 26, 2005, BlackRock made a presentation to and responded to additional questions from the Boards. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their legal counsel to review the Boards duties in reviewing the Agreements and to consider the renewal of the Agreements. With this background, the Boards considered each Agreement and, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission statements relating to the renewal of the Agreements.
Matters Considered by the Boards
In connection with their deliberations, the Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Trust, including the following: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by BlackRock; the investment performance of each Trust; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trusts; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the BlackRock closed-end funds complex grows; and whether BlackRock realizes other benefits from its relationship with the Trusts.
Nature and Quality of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of BlackRocks services, the Boards reviewed information concerning the types of services that BlackRock provides and is expected to provide to each Trust, narrative and statistical information concerning each Trusts performance record and how such performance compares to each Trusts Peers, information describing BlackRocks organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Boards further noted the willingness of the personnel of BlackRock to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards further considered the quality of BlackRocks investment process in making portfolio management decisions. Given the Boards experience with BlackRock, the Boards noted that they were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of BlackRock.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Trustees considered the quality of the administrative or non-investment advisory services provided to the Trusts. In this regard, BlackRock provides each Trust with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Trusts) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Trust. In addition to investment management services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Trust with a wide range of services, including: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements and Trust web sites; communications with analysts to support secondary market trading; assisting with daily accounting and pricing; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal and compliance support (such as helping to prepare proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In addition, in evaluating the
62
administrative services, the Boards considered, in particular, BlackRocks policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations in light of the new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations governing compliance. The Boards noted BlackRocks focus on compliance and its compliance systems. The Independent Trustees noted that BlackRocks commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds is particularly noteworthy.
The Investment Performance of the Trusts. As previously noted, the Boards received myriad performance information regarding each Trust and its Peers. Among other things, the Boards received materials reflecting each Trusts historic performance and each Trusts performance compared to its Peers. More specifically, each Trusts one-, three-, five- and ten-year total returns (when applicable) were evaluated relative to its respective Peers (including the performance of individual peers as well as the Peers average performance).
The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the Boards request. The summary placed the Peer rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons. In evaluating the performance information, in certain limited instances, the Boards noted that the Peers most similar to a given Trust still would not adequately reflect such Trusts investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Trusts performance with that of its Peers. The Boards noted the quality of information provided by BlackRock throughout the year with respect to the performance of the Trusts. The Boards considered this information in connection with its deliberations as to whether the level of management services provided to each Trust, in light of all the other facts and circumstances relating to that Trust, supports a conclusion that the Trusts Agreement should be renewed.
Fees and Expenses. In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Trust is expected to bear, the Boards considered each Trusts current management fee structure and the Trusts expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as relative to the fees and expense ratios of applicable Peers. In reviewing fees, the Boards, among other things, reviewed comparisons of each Trusts gross management fees before and after any applicable reimbursements and fee waivers and total expense ratios before and after any applicable waivers with those of the applicable Peers. The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the request of the Boards. This summary placed the rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons.
The Boards also compared the management fees charged to the Trusts by BlackRock to the management fees BlackRock charges other types of clients (such as open-end investment companies and institutional separately managed accounts). With respect to open-end investment companies, the management fees charged to the Trusts generally were higher than those charged to the open-end investment companies. The Boards also noted that BlackRock provides the Trusts with certain services not provided to open-end funds, such as leverage management in connection with the issuance of preferred shares, stock exchange listing compliance requirements, rating agency compliance with respect to the leverage employed by the Trusts and secondary market support and other services not provided to the Trusts, such as monitoring of subscriptions and redemptions. With respect to separately managed institutional accounts, the management fees for such accounts were generally lower than those charged to the comparable Trusts. The Boards noted, however, the various services that are provided and the costs incurred by BlackRock in managing and operating the Trusts. For instance, BlackRock and its affiliates provide numerous services to the Trusts that are not provided to institutional accounts including, but not limited to: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; income monitoring; expense budgeting; preparing proxy statements; and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). Further, the Boards noted the increased compliance requirements for the Trusts in light of new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts.
The Boards considered this information in connection with its deliberations as to whether the fees paid by each Trust under its Agreements, in light of all the other facts and circumstances relating to that Trust, supports a conclusion that the Trusts Agreements should be renewed.
Profitability. The Trustees also considered BlackRocks profitability in conjunction with their review of fees. The Trustees reviewed BlackRocks revenues, expenses and profitability margins on an after-tax basis. In reviewing profitability, the Trustees recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of allocating expenses. The Trustees also reviewed BlackRocks assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard, the methods of allocation used appeared reasonable but the Boards noted the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not publicly available.
The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Boards considered BlackRocks pre-tax profit margin compared to the pre-tax profitability of various publicly-traded investment management companies and/or investment management companies that publicly disclose some or all of their financial results.
In evaluating the reasonableness of BlackRocks compensation, the Boards also considered any other revenues paid to BlackRock, including partial reimbursements paid to BlackRock for certain non-investment advisory services. The Boards noted that these payments were less than BlackRocks costs for providing these services. The Boards also considered indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements) that BlackRock and its affiliates are expected to receive that are attributable to their management of the Trusts.
In reviewing each Trusts fees and expenses, the Boards examined the potential benefits of economies of scale, and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Trusts fee structures, for example through the use of breakpoints. In this connection, the Boards reviewed information provided by BlackRock, noting that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund-level breakpoints, as closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after their initial public offering and each fund is managed independently consistent with its
63
own investment objectives. The information also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure, and that this complex generally is homogeneous with regard to the types of funds managed and is about four times as large as the Trusts complex. The Boards concluded that breakpoints were not warranted at this time.
Other Benefits. In evaluating fees, the Boards also considered indirect benefits or profits BlackRock or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the Trusts. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to BlackRock and its affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Trusts, including potential benefits accruing to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of potentially stronger relationships with members of the broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of BlackRock and its affiliates, enhanced sales of other investment funds and products sponsored by BlackRock and its affiliates and increased assets under management which may increase the benefits realized by BlackRock from soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers. The Boards also considered the unquantifiable nature of these potential benefits.
Miscellaneous. During the Boards deliberations in connection with the Agreements, the Boards were aware that the Advisor pays compensation, out of its own assets, to the lead underwriter and to certain qualifying underwriters of many of its closed-end funds, and to employees of BlackRocks affiliates that participated in the offering of such funds. The Boards considered whether the management fee met applicable standards in light of the services provided by BlackRock, without regard to whether BlackRock ultimately pays any portion of the anticipated compensation to the underwriters.
Conclusion
The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, determined that each of the factors described above, in light of all the other factors and all of the facts and circumstances applicable to each respective Trust, was acceptable for each Trust and supported the Trustees conclusion that the terms of each Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Trusts fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to the respective Trust, and that the renewal of each Agreement should be approved.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert. The Registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that it has three audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee, each of whom is an "independent" Trustee: Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer, Kent Dixon and Frank Fabozzi. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services. (a) Audit Fees . The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $27,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $29,100 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.
(b) Audit-Related Fees . The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrants financial statements and are not reported above in Item 4(a) were $6,383 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and
$7,300 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The nature of these services was attest services not required by statute or regulation, overhead and out-of-pocket expenses.
(c) Tax Fees . The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $7,500 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $11,800 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The nature of these services was federal, state and local income and excise tax return preparation and related advice and planning and miscellaneous tax advice.
(d) All Other Fees . There were no fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported above in Items 4(a) through (c).
(e) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures . (1) The Registrant has polices and procedures (the "Policy") for the pre-approval by the Registrant's Audit Committee of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Services (as each is defined in the Policy) provided by the Registrants independent auditor (the "Independent Auditor") to the Registrant and other "Covered Entities" (as defined below). The term of any such pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The amount of any such pre-approval is set forth in the appendices to the Policy (the "Service Pre-Approval Documents"). At its first meeting of each calendar year, the Audit Committee will approve or re-approve the Service Pre-Approval Documents for that year, together with any changes deemed necessary or desirable by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, from time to time, modify the nature of the services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees pre-approved or both.
For the purposes of the Policy, "Covered Services" means (A) all engagements for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Independent Auditor to the Registrant and (B) all engagements for non-audit services that directly impacted the operations and financial reporting or the Registrant to be provided by the Independent Auditor to any Covered Entity. "Covered Entities" means (1) BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the Advisor) or (2) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant.
In the intervals between the scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority under this Policy to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (the "Chairman"). The Chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions under this Policy to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. At each scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee will review with the Independent Auditor the Covered Services pre-approved by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority, if any, and the fees related thereto. Based on these reviews, the Audit Committee can modify, at its discretion, the pre-approval originally granted by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority. This modification can be to the nature of services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees approved, or both. Audit Committee may modify or withdraw this delegated authority at any time the Audit Committee determines that it is appropriate to do so.
Fee levels for all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditor and pre-approved under this Policy will be established annually by the Audit Committee and set forth in the Service Pre-Approval Documents. Any increase in pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
The terms and fees of the annual Audit services engagement for the Registrant are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions or fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Registrant structure or other matters.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, any other Audit services for the Registrant not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are not required for the audit, but are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements of the Registrant and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the other Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditor. Audit-Related services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditor can provide Tax services to the Registrant and Covered Entities such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditors independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditor in connection with a transaction, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Tax services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
All Other services that are covered and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
Requests or applications to provide Covered Services that require approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) must be submitted to the Audit Committee or the Chairman, as the case may be, by both the Independent Auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant or the respective Covered Entity, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, (a) the request or application is consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on auditor independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. A request or application submitted to the Chairman between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should include a discussion as to why approval is being sought prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.
(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrant's accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, the Advisor (except for any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for each of the last two fiscal years were $1,341,450 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $835,100 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.
(h) The Registrant's Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants. The Registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee of the Registrant is comprised of: Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer; Richard E. Cavanagh; Kent Dixon and Frank J. Fabozzi.
