2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2012
D ear Shareholder
Early in 2011, global financial market action was dominated by political revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa, soaring prices of oil and other commodities, and natural disasters in Japan resulting in global supply chain disruptions. But corporate earnings were strong and the global economic recovery appeared to be on track. Investors demonstrated steadfast confidence as risk assets, including equities, commodities and high yield bonds, charged forward. Markets reversed sharply in May, however, when escalating political strife in Greece rekindled fears about sovereign debt problems spreading across Europe. Concurrently, global economic indicators signaled that the recovery had slowed. Confidence was further shaken by the prolonged debt ceiling debate in Washington, DC. On August 5th, Standard & Poors downgraded the US governments credit rating and turmoil erupted in financial markets around the world. Extraordinary levels of volatility persisted in the months that followed as Greece teetered on the brink of default, debt problems escalated in Italy and Spain, and exposure to European sovereign bonds stressed banks globally. Financial markets whipsawed on hopes and fears. Macro news flow became a greater influence on trading decisions than the fundamentals of the securities traded, resulting in highly correlated asset prices. By the end of the third quarter, equity markets had fallen nearly 20% from their April peak while safe-haven assets such as US Treasuries and gold had rallied to historic highs.
October brought enough positive economic data to assuage fears of a global double-dip recession. Additionally, European leaders began to show progress toward stemming the regions debt crisis. Investors came back from the sidelines and risk assets rallied through the month. Eventually, a lack of definitive details about Europes rescue plan raised doubts among investors and thwarted the rally at the end of October. The last two months of 2011 saw political instability in Greece, unsustainable yields on Italian bonds, and US policymakers in gridlock over budget issues. Global central bank actions and improving economic data invigorated investors, but confidence was easily tempered by sobering news flow. Sentiment improved in the New Year as investors saw bright spots in global economic data, particularly from the United States, China and Germany. International and emerging markets rebounded strongly through January. US stocks rallied on solid improvement in the domestic labor market and indications from the Federal Reserve that interest rates would remain low through 2014. Nonetheless, investors maintained caution as US corporate earnings began to weaken and a European recession appeared inevitable.
US equities and high yield bonds recovered their late-summer losses and posted positive returns for both the 6- and 12-month periods ended January 31, 2012. International markets, however, experienced some significant downturns in 2011 and remained in negative territory despite a strong rebound at the end of the period. Fixed income securities benefited from declining yields and delivered positive returns for the 6- and 12-month periods. US Treasury bonds outperformed other fixed income classes despite their quality rating downgrade, while municipal bonds also delivered superior results. Continued low short-term interest rates kept yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.
Many of the themes that caused uncertainty in 2011 remain unresolved. For investors, the risks are daunting. BlackRock remains committed to helping you keep your financial goals on track in this challenging environment.
Sincerely,
Rob Kapito President, BlackRock Advisors, LLC

Market Overview |
| --- |
| For the 12-Month Period Ended January 31, 2012 |
One year ago, the municipal bond market was steadily recovering from a difficult fourth quarter of 2010 that brought severe losses amid a steepening US Treasury yield curve and a flood of inflated headlines about municipal finance troubles. Retail investors had lost confidence in municipals and retreated from the market. Political uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections and tax policies exacerbated the situation. These conditions combined with seasonal illiquidity weakened willful market participation from the trading community. December 2010 brought declining demand with no comparable reduction in supply as issuers rushed their deals to market before the Build America Bond program was retired. This supply-demand imbalance led to wider quality spreads and higher yields for municipal bonds heading into 2011.
Demand is usually strong at the beginning of a new year, but retail investors continued to move away from municipal mutual funds in the first half of 2011. From the middle of November 2010, outflows persisted for 29 consecutive weeks, totaling $35.1 billion before the trend finally broke in June 2011. However, weak demand was counterbalanced by lower supply in 2011. According to Thomson Reuters, new issuance was down 32% in 2011 as compared to the prior year. While these technical factors were improving, municipalities were struggling to balance their budgets, although the late-2010 predictions for widespread municipal defaults did not materialize. Other concerns that resonated at the beginning of the year, such as rising interest rates, weakening credits and higher rates of inflation, abated as these scenarios also did not come to fruition.
On August 5th, 2011, Standard & Poors (S&P) downgraded the US governments credit rating from AAA to AA+. While this led to the downgrade of approximately 11,000 municipal issues directly tied to the US debt rating, this represented a very small fraction of the municipal market and said nothing about the individual municipal credits themselves. In fact, demand for municipal bonds increased as severe volatility in US equities drove investors to more stable asset classes. The municipal market benefited from an exuberant Treasury market and continued muted new issuance. As supply remained constrained, demand from both traditional and non-traditional buyers was strong, pushing long-term municipal bond yields lower and sparking a curve-flattening trend that continued through year end. Ultimately, 2011 was one of the strongest performance years in municipal market history. The S&P Municipal Bond Index returned 10.62% in 2011, making municipal bonds a top-performing fixed income asset class for the year.
Supply and demand technicals continued to be favorable in January 2012. Overall, the municipal yield curve flattened during the period from January 31, 2011 to January 31, 2012. As measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data, yields declined by 161 basis points (bps) to 3.17% on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds and by 163 bps to 1.68% on 10-year bonds, while yields on 5-year issues fell 117 bps to 0.68%. While the entire municipal curve flattened over the 12-month time period, the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities tightened by 120 bps, and in the 2- to 10-year range, the spread tightened by 124 bps.
The fundamental picture for municipalities continues to improve. Austerity has been the general theme across the country, while a small number of states continue to rely on a kick-the-can approach to close their budget shortfalls, with aggressive revenue projections and accounting gimmicks. The markets technical factors are also improving as demand outpaces supply in what is historically a light issuance period. It has been over a year since the first highly publicized interview about the fiscal problems plaguing state and local governments. Thus far, the prophecy of widespread defaults across the municipal market has not materialized. In 2011, there were fewer municipal defaults than seen in 2010. Throughout 2011 monetary defaults in the S&P Municipal Bond Index totaled roughly $805 million, representing less than 0.48% of the index. BlackRock maintains the view that municipal bond defaults will remain in the periphery and the overall market is fundamentally sound. We continue to recognize that careful credit research and security selection remain imperative amid uncertainty in this economic environment.

4 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2012
T rust Summary as of January 31, 2012 BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust
Trust Overview
BlackRock California Municipal Income Trusts (BFZ) (the Trust) investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular US federal income and California income taxes. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and California income taxes. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations that are 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 Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Trust returned 21.17% based on market price and 17.19% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 21.02% based on market price and 14.53% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trusts discount to NAV, which narrowed 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. The Trusts slightly long duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) had a positive impact on performance as interest rates generally declined amid the investor flight-to-quality in the US Treasury market. Increased exposure to inverse floating rate instruments (tender option bonds) while the municipal yield curve was historically steep boosted the Trusts income accrual. The Trusts holdings of higher quality essential service revenue bonds contributed positively, as did holdings of select general obligation bonds and school district credits with stronger underlying fundamentals. Additionally, purchases of zero-coupon bonds deemed undervalued added to the Trusts total return.
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.

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2012 BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust
| Trust Overview |
| --- |
| BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trusts (BFO) (the Trust) investment objectives are to provide current income exempt from regular
federal income tax and Florida intangible personal property tax and to return
$15.00 per common share (the initial offering price per share) to holders of
common shares on or about December 31, 2020. The Trust seeks to achieve its
investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal
bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and Florida intangible
personal property tax. The Trust invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal
bonds that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Trust
actively manages the maturity of its bonds to seek to have a dollar weighted
average effective maturity approximately equal to the Trusts maturity date.
The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the
use of derivatives. Effective January 1, 2007, the Florida intangible
personal property tax was repealed. |
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
| Performance |
| --- |
| For the six
months ended January 31, 2012, the Trust returned 13.28% based on market
price and 7.94% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper
Other States Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 16.44%
based on market price and 11.33% based on NAV. All returns reflect
reinvestment of dividends. The Trusts discount to NAV, which narrowed 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. During the period, municipal bond prices generally rose as the
yield curve flattened and credit spreads tightened. Given these market
conditions, the Trusts exposure to intermediate and longer maturity bonds
and lower-quality investment grade bonds had a significant positive impact on
the Trusts performance for the period. The Trust is scheduled to mature on
or about December 31, 2020 and thus holds securities that will mature close
to that date. The Trusts shorter maturity profile was a disadvantage as
compared to its Lipper category peers that typically hold longer-dated
issues, which exhibited greater price appreciation in the declining interest
rate environment. |

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2012 BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Income Trust
| Trust Overview |
| --- |
| BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Income Trusts (RFA) (the
Trust) investment objective is to provide high
current income exempt from regular federal income tax and to provide an
exemption from Florida intangible personal property taxes consistent with
preservation of capital. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective
by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations exempt from
federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax) and Florida intangible personal property tax. Under
normal market conditions, the Trust invests at least 80% of its assets in
municipal bonds rated investment grade at the time of investment. The Trust
may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of
derivatives. Due to the repeal of the Florida intangible personal property
tax, the Board approved an amended policy in September 2008 allowing the
Trust the flexibility to invest in municipal obligations regardless of geographical
location. |
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
On February 10, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution. If approved by shareholders, the liquidation and distribution of substantially all of the Trusts assets is expected to occur by the end of the third quarter of 2012.
| Performance |
| --- |
| For the six
months ended January 31, 2012, the Trust returned 24.27% based on market
price and 16.68% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper
General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an
average return of 21.10% based on market price and 13.67% based on NAV. All
returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a discount to
NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between
performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following
discussion relates to performance based on NAV. As the yield curve flattened
during the period (longer-term interest rates fell more than shorter rates),
rising bond prices in the long end of the municipal curve contributed
positively to the Trusts performance. The Trusts longer-dated holdings in
the health care, transportation and education sectors experienced the best
price appreciation. |

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2012 BlackRock New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc.
| Trust Overview |
| --- |
| BlackRock
New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc.s (RNJ) (the Trust) investment objective is to provide high current income exempt from regular
federal income tax and New Jersey gross income tax consistent with
preservation of capital. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective
by investing at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of investment grade
New Jersey municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except
that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and
New Jersey gross income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Trust
invests at least 80% of its assets in securities rated investment grade at
the time of investment. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or
synthetically through the use of derivatives. |
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
On February 10, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution. If approved by shareholders, the liquidation and distribution of substantially all of the Trusts assets is expected to occur by the end of the third quarter of 2012.
| Performance |
| --- |
| For the six
months ended January 31, 2012, the Trust returned 19.86% based on market
price and 16.19% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New
Jersey Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 20.36% based
on market price and 13.24% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of
dividends. The Trust moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period-end,
which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and
performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance
based on NAV. As the yield curve flattened during the period (longer-term
interest rates fell more than shorter rates), rising bond prices in the long
end of the municipal curve contributed positively to the Trusts performance.
The Trusts longer-dated holdings in the health care, transportation and
education sectors experienced the best price appreciation. |

12 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2012
T he Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Trusts may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their common shares (Common Shares). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
To obtain leverage, the Trusts issue Auction Market Preferred Securities (AMPS), Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (VRDP Shares) or Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (VMTP Shares) (collectively, Preferred Shares). Preferred Shares pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and the Trusts invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. 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 Trusts shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trusts Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. 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 dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Trust with assets received from the Preferred Shares issuance earn income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the dividends paid to holders of Preferred Shares (Preferred Shareholders) are significantly lower than the income earned on the Trusts long-term investments, and therefore the Common 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, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Trust pays higher short-term interest rates whereas the Trusts 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 Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Trusts NAVs positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Trust performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.
The Trusts may also leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (TOBs), as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Trusts with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Trusts to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Trusts NAV per share.
The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Trusts and Common 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, the Trusts 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 Trusts net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to Common 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 Trusts ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by rating agencies that rate the Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts. Each Trust will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), the Trusts are permitted to issue senior securities in the form of equity securities (e.g., Preferred Shares) up to 50% of their total managed assets. In addition, each Trust voluntarily limits its economic leverage to 50% of its total managed assets for Trusts with AMPS or 45% for Trusts with VRDPs. As of January 31, 2012, the Trusts had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:
| | Percent
of Economic Leverage |
| --- | --- |
| BFZ | 39 % |
| BFO | 33 % |
| RFA | 39 % |
| BBF | 39 % |
| RNJ | 35 % |
| BNJ | 36 % |
| RNY | 37 % |
| BNY | 38 % |
D erivative Financial Instruments
The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Trusts ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisors ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial 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.

| | Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs are categorized
into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial
statement purposes as follows: | |
| | | Level 1 unadjusted 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 Trusts own assumptions used in
determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Trusts perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trusts investments:

The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trusts perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of January 31, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trusts investments and derivative financial instruments:

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:
| | Level 1 unadjusted 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 Trusts own assumptions used in determining
the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
| Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned
level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value
determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on
the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial
instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trusts perceived risk
of investing in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy
regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and
other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to
Financial Statements. | |
| The following tables
summarize the inputs used as of January 31, 2012 in determining the fair

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trusts perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of January 31, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trusts investments and derivative financial instruments:

N otes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (RNJ) and BlackRock New York Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (RNY) are organized as Maryland corporations. BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Income Trust (RFA) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. RNJ, RNY and RFA are herein referred to as the Investment Quality Trusts. BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust (BFZ), BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust (BBF), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust (BNJ), BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust (BNY) (collectively, the Income Trusts) and BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust (BFO) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. The Investment Quality Trusts, Income Trusts and BFO are referred to herein collectively as the Trusts. The Trusts are registered under the 1940 Act as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies. 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. The Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees of the Trusts are collectively referred to throughout this report as the Board of Trustees or the Board, and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as Trustees. The Trusts determine and make available for publication the NAV 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 each Trusts Board. 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. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day.
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 if a price 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 arms-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.
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.
Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Trusts may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Trusts may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Trusts may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Trusts are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Trusts assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Trusts maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Schedules of Investments.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs: The Trusts leverage their assets through the use of TOBs. A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of the funds, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Trust has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (TOB Residuals), which are generally issued to the participating funds that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Trust include the right of a Trust (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the short-term floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, including during instances of a rise in short-term interest rates, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to a Trust. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors. During the six months ended January 31, 2012, no TOBs that the Trusts participated in were terminated without the consent of the Trusts.
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2012 55
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Trust, in exchange for TOB trust certificates. The Trusts typically invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Each Trusts transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing; therefore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Trusts Schedules of Investments and the TOB trust certificates are shown in other liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by the Trusts on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At January 31, 2012, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for TOB trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for trust certificates were as follows:
| | Underlying Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs | Liability
for TOB Trust Certificates | Range
of Interest Rates |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BFZ | $ 321,251,650 | $ 153,386,087 | 0.05%
0.23% |
| BFO | $ 769,586 | $ 480,000 | 0.16% |
| RFA | $ 9,833,421 | $ 4,928,720 | 0.07%
0.18% |
| BBF | $ 60,069,566 | $ 30,117,038 | 0.07%
0.18% |
| RNJ | $ 1,421,230 | $ 734,917 | 0.09%
0.14% |
| BNJ | $ 19,136,557 | $ 9,634,296 | 0.09%

| RNY | $ 4,084,026 | $ 2,080,297 | 0.05%
0.18% |
| BNY | $ 40,435,679 | $ 21,226,715 | 0.05%
0.18% |
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Trusts average TOB trust certificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate, including fees, were as follows:
| BFZ | Average
TOB Trust Certificates Outstanding — $ 147,475,736 | 0.69 % |
| --- | --- | --- |
| BFO | $ 482,283 | 0.59 % |
| RFA | $ 4,606,301 | 0.71 % |
| BBF | $ 29,962,010 | 0.71 % |
| RNJ | $ 292,227 | 0.65 % |
| BNJ | $ 4,937,584 | 0.69 % |
| RNY | $ 931,745 | 0.86 % |
| BNY | $ 13,346,471 | 0.64 % |
Should short-term interest rates rise, the Trusts investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Trusts net investment income and dividends to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market values of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Trusts NAVs per share.
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., financial futures contracts), 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 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 to such transactions 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. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Dividends and distributions to Preferred Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 7.
Income Taxes: It is each Trusts 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 statutes of limitations on Investment Quality Trusts, Income Trusts and BFOs US federal tax returns remains open for each of the following periods:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The statutes of limitations on each Trusts state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standards: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Trusts financial statement disclosures.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for financial statement with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Trusts financial statement disclosures.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trusts Board, independent 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 Trusts 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 income affiliated in the Statements of Operations.
Offering Costs: BBF incurred costs in connection with its issuance of VRDP Shares, which were recorded as a deferred charge and will be amortized over the 30-year life of the VRDP Shares with the exception of upfront fees paid to the liquidity provider which are amortized over the life of the liquidity agreement. Amortization of these costs is included in interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs 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 custodians whereby fees may be reduced by 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 interest rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.
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. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
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). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Trusts and 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.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) and Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but Barclays is 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. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Trusts portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Trust. For such services, each Trust pays the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of each Trusts average weekly net assets at the following annual rates:
| BFZ | 0.58% |
|---|---|
| BFO | 0.50% |
| RFA | 0.35% |
| BBF | 0.60% |
| RNJ | 0.35% |
| BNJ | 0.60% |
| RNY | 0.35% |
| BNY | 0.60% |
Average weekly net assets is the average weekly value of each Trusts total assets minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee on BFZ at an annual rate of 0.05% of average weekly net assets through December 31, 2010, 0.03% through December 31, 2011 and 0.01% through December 31, 2012. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Manager waived $104,552, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations.
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 in connection with each Trusts 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 January 31, 2012, the amounts waived were as follows:
| BFZ | $ |
|---|---|
| BFO | $ 49 |
| RFA | $ 61 |
| BBF | $ 1,294 |
| RNJ | $ 414 |
| BNJ | $ 3,808 |
| RNY | $ 402 |
| BNY | $ 3,199 |
58 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2012
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Each Investment Quality Trust has an Administration Agreement with the Manager. The administration fee paid to the Manager is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.10% of each respective Trusts average weekly net assets for the Investment Quality Trusts.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (BFM), an affiliate of the Manager. 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.
Certain officers and/or Trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Trusts reimburse the Manager for compensation paid to the Trusts Chief Compliance Officer.

6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
Each Trust invests a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or a limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific states.
Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
As of January 31, 2012, BFZ invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the County/City/Special District/School District and Utilities sectors. BFO, RFA, BBF and RNY invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the County/City/Special District/School District sector. RNJ and BNJ invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the State sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the County/City/Special District/School District, State and Utilities sectors would have a greater impact on the Trusts, and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
7. Capital Share Transactions:
Each Investment Quality Trust is authorized to issue 200 million shares, par value $0.01 per share, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value Common Shares authorized for the Income Trusts and BFO. Each Trusts Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares without approval of Common Shareholders. At January 31, 2012, Common Shares of BFO owned by affiliates of the Manager was 8,028 shares.
Common Shares For the periods shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by the following amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:
| BFZ | | 13,214 |
|---|---|---|
| RFA | 179 | 546 |
| BBF | 1,081 | 4,809 |
| RNJ | 436 | 1,268 |
| BNJ | 9,751 | 22,508 |
| RNY | 551 | 2,077 |
| BNY | 25,361 | 50,883 |
Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for BFO for the six months ended January 31, 2012 and the year ended July 31, 2011.
Preferred Shares The Trusts Preferred Shares rank prior to the Trusts Common Shares as to the payment of dividends by the Trusts and distribution of assets upon dissolution or liquidation of the Trusts. The 1940 Act prohibits the declaration of any dividend on the Trusts Common Shares or the repurchase of the Trusts Common Shares if the Trusts fail to maintain the asset coverage of at least 200% of the liquidation preference of the outstanding Preferred Shares. In addition, pursuant to the Preferred Shares governing instrument, the Trusts are restricted from declaring and paying dividends on classes of shares ranking junior to or on parity with the Preferred Shares or repurchasing such shares if the Trusts fail to declare and pay dividends on the Preferred Shares, redeem any Preferred Shares required to be redeemed under the Preferred Shares governing instrument or comply with the basic maintenance amount requirement of the rating agencies then rating the Preferred Shares.
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 (one vote per share) as a single class. However, the holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Trusts sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company.
VRDP Shares BBF has issued Series W-7 VRDP Shares, $100,000 liquidation value per share, in a privately negotiated offering. The VRDP Shares were offered to qualified institutional buyers as defined pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and include a liquidity feature that allows the holders of VRDP Shares to have their shares purchased by the liquidity provider in the event of a failed remarketing. BBF is required to redeem the VRDP Shares owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. Upon the occurrence of an unsuccessful remarketing, BBF is required to segregate liquid assets to fund the redemption. The VRDP Shares are subject to certain restrictions on transfer. The VRDP Shares issued for the six months ended January 31, 2012 were as follows:
| BBF | 9/15/11 | 342 | Aggregate Principal — $ 34,200,000 | 10/1/41 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
BBF entered into a fee agreement with the liquidity provider that required a per annum liquidity fee to be paid to the liquidity provider. These fees are shown as liquidity fees in the Statements of Operations.
The fee agreement between BBF and the liquidity provider is for a 1-year term and is scheduled to expire on September 12, 2012 unless renewed or terminated in advance. In the event the fee agreement is not renewed or is terminated in advance, and BBF does not enter into a fee agreement with an alternate liquidity provider, the VRDP Shares will be subject to mandatory purchase by the liquidity provider prior to the termination of the fee agreement. BBF is required to redeem any VRDP Shares purchased by the liquidity provider six months after the purchase date. Immediately after the purchase of any VRDP Shares by the liquidity provider, BBF is required to begin to segregate liquid assets with BBFs custodian to fund the redemption. There is no assurance BBF will replace such redeemed VRDP Shares with any other preferred shares or other form of leverage.
BBF is required to redeem its VRDP Shares on the maturity date, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Six months prior to maturity date, BBF is required to begin to segregate liquid assets with BBFs custodian to fund the redemption. In addition, BBF is required to redeem certain of its outstanding VRDP Shares if it fails to maintain certain asset coverage, basic maintenance amount or leverage requirements.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of BBF. The redemption price per VRDP Share is equal to the liquidation value per share plus any outstanding unpaid dividends. In the event of an optional redemption of VRDP Shares prior to the initial termination date of the fee agreement, BBF must pay the liquidity
60 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2012
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
provider fees on such redeemed VRDP Shares for the remaining term of the fee agreement up to the initial termination date.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares are payable monthly at a variable rate set weekly by the remarketing agent. Such dividend rates are generally based upon a spread over a base rate and cannot exceed a maximum rate as discussed below. In the event of a failed remarketing, the dividend rate of the VRDP Shares will be reset to a maximum rate. The maximum rate is determined based on, among other things, the long-term preferred share rating assigned to the VRDP Shares and the length of time that the VRDP Shares fail to be remarketed. At the date of issuance, the VRDP Shares were assigned a long-term rating of Aaa from Moodys and AAA from Fitch. Moodys has announced a review of its rating methodologies with respect to investment company securities, and any amendments to its rating methodologies may adversely affect Moodys current long-term ratings of the VRDP Shares.
The short-term ratings on the VRDP Shares are directly related to the short-term ratings of the liquidity provider. Changes in the credit quality of the liquidity provider could cause a change in the short-term credit ratings of the VRDP Shares. Although not directly correlated, a change in the short-term credit rating of the VRDP Shares may adversely affect the dividend rate paid on such shares. As of January 31, 2012, the short-term ratings of the liquidity provider and the VRDP Shares are P-1/F-1 and P-1/F-1 as rated by Moodys and Fitch, respectively. The liquidity provider may be terminated prior to the scheduled termination date if the liquidity provider fails to maintain short-term debt ratings in one of the two highest rating categories. Moodys has placed the liquidity provider and the short-term ratings of the VRDP Shares on review for possible downgrade.
For financial reporting purposes, VRDP Shares are considered debt of the issuer; therefore, the liquidation value of VRDP Shares is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends are included in interest expense and fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and the dividends paid on the VRDP Shares are included as a component of interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. VRDP Shares are treated as equity for tax purposes. Dividends paid to holders of VRDP Shares are generally classified as tax-exempt income for tax-reporting purposes.
BBF pays commissions of 0.10% on the aggregate principal amount of all VRDP Shares, which are included in remarketing fees on Preferred Shares in the Statements of Operations. All of BBFs VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance with an annualized dividend rate of 0.27% for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
VRDP Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
AMPS The AMPS are redeemable at the option of BFZ, BFO, RFA, RNJ, BNJ, RNY and BNY (collectively, the AMPS Funds), in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The AMPS are also subject to mandatory redemption at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of the AMPS Funds, as set forth in each AMPS Funds Articles Supplementary (the Governing Instrument) are not satisfied.
From time to time in the future, each AMPS Fund may effect repurchases of its AMPS at prices below their liquidation preference as agreed upon by the Trust and seller. Each AMPS Fund also may redeem its AMPS from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing Instrument. Each AMPS Fund intends to effect such redemptions and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine.
The AMPS Funds had the following series of AMPS outstanding, effective yields and reset frequency as of January 31, 2012:
| BFZ | F7 | 2,151 | 0.12 % | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R7 | 2,351 | 0.12 % | 7 | |
| T7 | 2,351 | 0.12 % | 7 | |
| BFO | F7 | 1,716 | 0.12 % | 7 |
| RFA | R7 | 183 | 0.12 % | 7 |
| RNJ | T7 | 276 | 0.12 % | 7 |
| BNJ | R7 | 2,364 | 0.12 % | 7 |
| RNY | F7 | 389 | 0.12 % | 7 |
| BNY | F7 | 1,890 | 0.12 % | 7 |
| W7 | 1,890 | 0.12 % | 7 |
Dividends on seven-day AMPS are cumulative at a rate which is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. If the AMPS fail to clear the auction on an auction date, each Trust is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the AMPS to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on all series of AMPS is the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 100% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. The low, high and average dividend rates on the AMPS for each Trust for the six months ended January 31, 2012 were as follows:
| BFZ | F7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % | |
| T7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % | |
| BFO | F7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % |
| RFA | R7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % |
| BBF | Y7 | 0.24 % | 0.31 % | 0.27 % |
| RNJ | Y7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % |
| BNJ | R7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % |
| RNY | F7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % |
| BNY | F7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % |
| W7 | 0.11 % | 0.31 % | 0.21 % |
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2012 61
Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)
Since February 13, 2008, the AMPS of the Trusts failed to clear any of their auctions. As a result, the AMPS dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.11% to 0.31% for the six months ended January 31, 2012. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Trusts but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of AMPS. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a Trusts AMPS than buyers. A successful auction for the Trusts AMPS may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, holders of AMPS may not have the ability to sell the AMPS at their liquidation preference.
The AMPS Funds pay commissions of 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that fail to clear their auctions and 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions. Certain broker dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions for failed auctions. The commissions paid to these broker dealers are included in remarketing fees on Preferred Shares in the Statements of Operations.
During the six months ended January 31, 2012, BBF announced the following redemptions of AMPS at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date:
| BBF | T-7 | 10/12/2011 | 1,370 | Aggregate Principal — $ 34,250,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
BBF financed the AMPS redemptions with proceeds received from the issuance of VRDP Shares.
AMPS issued and outstanding remained constant for the six months ended January 31, 2012 and the year ended July 31, 2011 for the AMPS Funds.
8. Subsequent Events:

| BFZ AMPS | F7 | Dividends Declared — $ 7,722 |
|---|---|---|
| R7 | $ 8,370 | |
| T7 | $ 11,355 | |
| BFO AMPS | F7 | $ 6,160 |

On March 22, 2012, the following Trusts issued W-7 Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (VMTP Shares), $100,000 liquidation value per share, with a maturity date of April 1, 2015 in a privately negotiated offering and sale of VMTP Shares exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 to finance the AMPS redemption. The VMTP Shares issued were as follows:
| BFZ | 1,713 | Proceeds — $ 171,300,000 |
|---|---|---|

| Dividend Policy |
Each Trusts dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its 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
On July 29, 2010, the Manager announced that a shareholder derivative complaint was filed on July 27, 2010 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County with respect to BFZ and BNJ, which had previously received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of each trusts common shareholders. The complaint was filed against the Manager, BlackRock, BFZ, BNJ and certain of the directors, officers and portfolio managers (collectively, the BlackRock Parties) in connection with the redemption of auction-market preferred shares, auction rate preferred shares, auction preferred shares and auction rate securities (collectively, AMPS). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the BlackRock Parties breached their fiduciary duties to the common shareholders of BFZ and BNJ (the Shareholders) by redeeming AMPS at their liquidation preference and alleges that such redemptions caused losses to the Shareholders. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages for the alleged losses suffered and to enjoin BFZ and BNJ from future redemptions of AMPS at their liquidation preference. The BlackRock Parties believe that the claims asserted in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend themselves in the litigation.
On March 29, 2011, the Manager announced that BBF received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of BBFs common shareholders. The demand letter alleges that the Manager and BBFs officers and Board of Trustees (the Board) breached their fiduciary duties by redeeming at par certain of BBFs AMPS, and demanded that the Board take action to remedy those alleged breaches. A committee consisting of the Independent Directors, with the assistance of their independent counsel, reviewed these demands. Based on the committees investigation and unanimous recommendation, the Board rejected these demands as inconsistent with the best interests of BBF and its shareholders.
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 Trusts offerings and the information contained in each Trusts 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 charters or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Trusts that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. There have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts portfolios.
Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other information regarding the Trusts may be found on BlackRocks website, which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com.

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 the Trusts at (800) 441-7762.
