2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2008

A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

Financial markets weathered intense bouts of volatility in 2007, only to enter 2008 with no relief. January and February proved to be trying months for equities, but strong ones for some areas of the bond market, as fears of an economic recession swelled. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), after cutting the target federal funds rate 100 basis points (1%) between September 2007 and year-end, more than matched those cuts in January alone. Responding to a slowing economy and continued fallout from chaos in the credit markets, the Fed cut interest rates 75 basis points in a rare unscheduled session on January 22, and followed with a 50-basis-point cut at its regular meeting on January 30. Another 75-basis-point cut on March 18 brought the target rate to 2.25%.

Reverberations from the U.S. subprime mortgage collapse, and the associated liquidity and credit crisis, continue to permeate global financial markets. The S&P 500 Index of U.S. stocks was down in February, marking the fourth consecutive month of negative returns. International markets, while not unscathed, generally have outperformed their U.S. counterparts so far in 2008. Emerging markets, benefiting from stronger economic growth rates, have done particularly well.

In fixed income markets, fears related to the economic slowdown and related credit crisis have led to a prolonged flight to quality. Investors have largely shunned bonds associated with the housing and credit markets in favor of higher-quality government issues. The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which touched 5.30% in June 2007 (its highest level in five years), fell to 4.04% by year-end and to 3.53% by the end of February, while prices correspondingly rose. After setting a new-issuance record in 2007, supply in the municipal bond market has been on the decline for four consecutive months (measured year over year). The market has struggled with concerns around the creditworthiness of monoline bond insurers and the failure of auctions for auction rate securities, driving yields higher and prices lower across the curve. By period-end, municipal bonds were trading at higher yields than their Treasury counterparts, a very unusual occurrence by historical standards.

Against this backdrop, the major benchmark indexes posted mixed results for the current reporting period, generally reflecting heightened investor risk aversion:

Total Returns as of February 29, 2008 6-month 12-month
U.S. equities (S&P 500 Index) -8.79 % -3.60 %
Small cap U.S. equities (Russell
2000 Index) -12.91 -12.44
International equities (MSCI
Europe, Australasia, Far East Index) -4.71 +0.84
Fixed income (Lehman Brothers
U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) +5.67 +7.30
Tax-exempt fixed income (Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index) -0.60 -1.17
High yield bonds (Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index) -1.39 -3.08

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Index performance shown for illustrative purposes only. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Trust Summary as of February 29, 2008 (Unaudited) BlackRock Insured Municipal Income Trust

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Insured Municipal Income Trust (BYM) seeks to provide high current
income exempt from regular federal income taxes. The Trust will invest at
least 80% of its total assets in municipal obligations that are insured as to
the timely payment of both principal and interest. |
| Performance |
| For the six months
ended February 29, 2008, the Trust returned -4.92% based on market price,
with dividends reinvested. The Trust’s return based on net asset value
(“NAV”) was -9.04%, with dividends reinvested, while the Lipper Insured
Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of -6.11%
on an NAV basis. The Trust’s performance was negatively impacted by three
primary factors: exposure to the long end of the municipal curve, which
underperformed as the curve steepened significantly; a widening in credit
spreads and insured credit spreads with weaker underlying ratings; and the
massive underperformance of municipal cash relative to the Trust’s Bond
Market Association hedges. The entire municipal insurance industry
experienced unprecedented stress during the period, leading to their first-ever
downgrades. Many of the problems caused by the stress on the insurers
remained unresolved at period-end. |

Trust Summary as of February 29, 2008 (Unaudited) BlackRock Municipal Bond Trust

| Investment
Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock Municipal Bond Trust (BBK) seeks to provide current
income exempt from regular federal income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its total assets in municipal bonds that are investment grade
quality, or determined by the Trust’s investment advisor to be of equivalent credit quality at time of purchase. The Trust may invest
up to 20% of its total assets in municipal bonds that are rated, at the time of investment, Ba/BB or B by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch or
that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by BlackRock. |
| Performance |
| For the six months
ended February 29, 2008, the Trust returned -6.38% based on market price,
with dividends reinvested. The Trust’s return based on NAV was -9.14%, with
dividends reinvested. For the same period, the Lipper General Municipal Debt
Funds (leveraged) category posted an average return of -6.37% on a NAV basis.
The Trust’s performance was negatively impacted by exposure to capital
appreciation bonds, as well as lower-rated and non-rated credits. Both areas
suffered in a market environment characterized by rising long-term rates and
substantially wider credit spreads. An above-average dividend yield helped to
mitigate these negative influences somewhat. |

The Trust’s performance was impacted by two key factors: exposure to the long end of the municipal yield curve, which underperformed as the curve steepened; and pressure on municipal bond insurers, which affected the entire insured municipal marketplace. The Trust’s underweight of lower-rated credits was a negative factor as insured bonds lost any premium value.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2008 9

Trust Summary as of February 29, 2008 (Unaudited) BlackRock Florida Insured Municipal Income Trust

Investment Objective
BlackRock
Florida Insured Municipal Income Trust (BAF) seeks to
provide current income exempt from regular federal income taxes and Florida
intangible personal property taxes. The Trust will invest at least 80% of its
total assets in municipal obligations that are insured as to the timely
payment of both principal and interest.
Performance
For the six months ended February
29, 2008, the Trust returned -5.93% based on market price, with dividends
reinvested. The Trust’s return based on NAV was -6.46%, with dividends
reinvested. For the same period, the Lipper Florida Municipal Debt Funds
category posted an average return of -5.59% on an NAV basis. (The Lipper
group consists of insured and uninsured funds.) The Trust’s performance was
affected by several key factors: exposure to the long end of the municipal
yield curve, which, along with discount-coupon bonds, underperformed as the
curve steepened; a widening in credit spreads, which negatively impacted
uninsured credits in the portfolio; pressure on municipal bond insurers,
which affected the entire insured municipal marketplace; and hedge positions,
which contributed positively given their low correlation to the factors
causing municipal underperformance.

Trust Summary as of February 29, 2008 (Unaudited) BlackRock Virginia Municipal Bond Trust

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Virginia Municipal Bond Trust (BHV) seeks to provide current income
exempt from regular federal income taxes and Virginia personal income taxes.
Under normal market conditions, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its
total assets in municipal bonds that are investment grade quality, or
determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent credit quality at time of purchase.
The Trust may invest up to 20% of its total assets in municipal bonds that
are rated, at the time of investment, Ba/BB or B by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch
or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by BlackRock. |
| Performance |
| For the six months
ended February 29, 2008, the Trust returned -1.08% based on market price,
with dividends reinvested. The Trust’s return based on NAV was -3.21%, with
dividends reinvested. For the same period, the Lipper Other States Municipal
Debt Funds category posted an average return of -4.52% on a NAV basis. The
Trust’s performance was impacted by three key factors: exposure to the long
end of the municipal yield curve, which underperformed as the curve
steepened; a widening in credit spreads, which negatively impacted uninsured
credits in the portfolio; and pressure on municipal bond insurers, which
affected the entire insured municipal marketplace. |

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

BlackRock Insured Municipal Income Trust (“Insured Municipal”), BlackRock California Insured Municipal Income Trust (“California Insured”), BlackRock Florida Insured Municipal Income Trust (“Florida Insured”), BlackRock New York Insured Municipal Income Trust (“New York Insured”), BlackRock Municipal Bond Trust (“Municipal Bond”), BlackRock California Municipal Bond Trust (“California Bond”), BlackRock Florida Municipal Bond Trust (“Florida Bond”), BlackRock Maryland Municipal Bond Trust (“Maryland Bond”), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Trust (“New Jersey Bond”), BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Trust (“New York Bond”), BlackRock Virginia Municipal Bond Trust (“Virginia Bond”), BlackRock Municipal Interest Trust II (“Municipal Income II”), BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust II (“California Income II”), and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust II (“New York Income II”) (each a “Trust” and collectively the “Trusts”) utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and net asset value of its Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments. To leverage, the Trusts issue Preferred Shares, which pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. The interest earned on these investments, net of dividends to Preferred Shares, is paid to Common Shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of each Trust’s holdings is reflected in the per share net asset value of the Trusts’ Common Shares. However, in order to benefit Common Shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. At the same time, a period of generally declining interest rates will benefit Common Shareholders. If either of these conditions change, then the risks of leveraging will begin to outweigh the benefits.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a trust’s Common Shares capitalization of $100 million and the issuance of 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 approximately 3% and long-term interest rates are approximately 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. The trust pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the trust’s total portfolio of $150 million earns the income based on long-term interest rates. Of course, increases in short-term interest rates would reduce (and even eliminate) the dividends on the Common Shares.

In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than the income earned on the trust’s long-term investments and, therefore, the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental yield. However, if short-term interest rates rise , narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental yield pickup on the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely . At the same time, the market value of the trust’s Common Shares (that is, its price as listed on the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange) may, as a result, decline. Furthermore, if long-term interest rates rise, the Common Shares’ net asset value will reflect the full decline in the price of the portfolio’s investments, since the value of the Trusts’ Preferred Shares does not fluctuate. In addition to the decline in net asset value, the market value of the trust’s Common Shares may also decline.

As of February 29, 2008 each Trust had the following leverage amounts, due to Preferred Shares, of managed assets before the deduction of Preferred Shares as follows:

| | Leverage
% |
| --- | --- |
| Insured Municipal | 40 % |
| Municipal Bond | 39 % |
| Municipal Income II | 40 % |
| California Insured | 40 % |
| California Bond | 38 % |
| California Income II | 40 % |
| Florida Insured | 39 % |
| Florida Bond | 38 % |
| Maryland Bond | 39 % |
| New Jersey Bond | 39 % |
| New York Insured | 40 % |
| New York Bond | 38 % |
| New York Income II | 40 % |
| Virginia Bond | 37 % |

As a part of its investment strategy, the Trusts may invest in certain securities whose potential income return is inversely related to changes in a floating interest rate (“inverse floaters”). In general, income on inverse floaters will decrease when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Investments in inverse floaters may be characterized as derivative securities and may subject the Trusts to the risks of reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of invested principal. In addition, inverse floaters have the effect of providing investment leverage and, as a result, the market value of such securities will generally be more volatile than that of fixed rate, tax-exempt securities. To the extent a Trust invests in inverse floaters, the market value of the Trust’s portfolio and net asset value of the Trust’s shares may also be more volatile than if the Trust did not invest in these securities.

Swap Agreements

The Trusts may invest in swap agreements, which are over-the-counter contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of a specified bond, basket of bonds, or index in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the change in market value of a different bond, basket of bonds or index. Swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a bond market without owning or taking physical custody of securities. Swap agreements involve the risk that the party with whom each Trust has entered into a swap will default on its obligation to pay the Trust and the risk that the Trust will not be able to meet its obligation to pay the other party to the agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Insured Municipal Income Trust (“Insured Municipal”), BlackRock California Insured Municipal Income Trust (“California Insured”), BlackRock Florida Insured Municipal Income Trust (“Florida Insured”), BlackRock New York Insured Municipal Income Trust (“New York Insured”) (collectively the “Insured Trusts”), BlackRock Municipal Bond Trust (“Municipal Bond”), BlackRock California Municipal Bond Trust (“California Bond”), BlackRock Florida Municipal Bond Trust (“Florida Bond”), BlackRock Maryland Municipal Bond Trust (“Maryland Bond”), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Trust (“New Jersey Bond”), BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Trust (“New York Bond”), BlackRock Virginia Municipal Bond Trust (“Virginia Bond”) (collectively the “Bond Trusts”), BlackRock Municipal Income Trust II (“Municipal Income II”), BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust II (“California Income II”) and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust II (“New York Income II”) (collectively the “Income II Trusts”) (all, collectively the “Trusts”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. Insured Municipal, Municipal Bond and Municipal Income II are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). California Insured, California Bond, California Income II, Florida Insured, Florida Bond, Maryland Bond, New Jersey Bond, New York Insured, New York Bond, New York Income II and Virginia Bond are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

Valuation of Investments: 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees, as appropriate (the “Trustees” or the “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. Financial futures contracts are traded on exchanges and are valued at their last sale price. Swap agreements are valued by quoted fair values received daily by the Trusts’ pricing service. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value 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, the investment will be valued by, under the direction of, or in accordance with, a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Trusts might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Trusts may engage in various portfolio investment strategies to increase the return of the Trusts and to hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

| • |
| --- |
| The Trusts may
utilize forward starting swaps for the purpose of reducing the interest rate
sensitivity of the portfolio and decreasing the Trusts’ exposure to interest
rate risk. |

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

Effective February 29, 2008, the Trusts implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity, including investment companies, before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. The Advisor has evaluated the application of FIN 48 to the Trusts, and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 does not have a material impact on the Trusts’ financial statements. The Trusts file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Trusts’ U.S. federal tax returns remain open for the years ended August 31, 2004 through August 31, 2006. The statutes of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2008 73

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on the accrual method. The Trusts amortize all premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions to Preferred Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 4.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The impact on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In addition, in February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS 157. FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The impact on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Forward Commitments, 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 only 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 purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. Upon making a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Trusts will hold liquid assets worth at least the equivalent of the amount due.

Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that each Trust segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities or swaps), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on its books and records cash or other liquid debt securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated.

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

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trusts. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in Common Shares of other certain BlackRock closed-end Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

Other: Expenses that are directly related to one of the Trusts or classes are charged to that Trust or class. Other operating expenses are pro-rated to certain Trusts on the basis of relative net assets.

Bank Overdraft: BlackRock Florida Insured Municipal Income Trust recorded a bank overdraft which resulted from management estimates of available cash.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, to provide investment advisory and administration service. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. are principal owners of BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Trusts’ portfolios and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Trusts. For such services, the Trusts pay the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.55% for the Insured Trusts and Income II Trusts and 0.65% for the Bond Trusts of the average weekly value of each Trust’s net assets including proceeds from the issuance of auction preferred shares, excluding investments in affiliated sweep vehicles. The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee. With respect to the Insured Trusts, the waiver, as a percentage of net assets including proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Shares, is as follows: 0.20% for the first five years of each Trust’s operations, 0.15% in year six, 0.10% in year seven, and 0.05% in year eight. With respect to the Bond Trusts, the waiver, as a percentage of net assets including proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Shares, is as follows: 0.30% for the first five years of each Trust’s operations, 0.25% in year six, 0.20% in year seven, 0.15% in year eight, 0.10% in year nine and 0.05% in year 10. With respect to the Income II Trusts, the waiver, as a percentage of net assets including proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Shares, is as follows: 0.15% for the first five years of each Trust’s operations, 0.10% in year six through year seven, and 0.05% in year eight through year 10.

In addition, the Advisor has entered into separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, with respect to each Trust, under which the Advisor pays BFM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by each Trust to the Advisor.

Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances (“custody credits”), which are on the Statements of Operations as fees paid indirectly.

Certain officers and/or Trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or directors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates.

Preferred Shares have a par value of $0.001 per share and a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, that entitle their holders to receive cash dividends at an annual rate that may vary for the successive dividend periods. The yields in effect at February 29, 2008 were as follows:

Series Yield
Insured Municipal M-7 4.188 %
R-7 4.508 %

Dividends on seven-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate which is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction date, the Trust’s are required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares is the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. During the six months ended February 29, 2008, the Preferred Shares were successfully auctioned at each auction date until February 13, 2008. The low, high and average dividend range on the Preferred Shares for each of the Trusts for the six months ended February 29, 2008 were as follows:

Series Low High Average
Insured Municipal M-7 2.400 % 4.188 % 3.350 %

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 Trust’s Declaration of Trust/Articles Supplementary, are not satisfied.

The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of Common Shares as a single class. However, holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Trust’s subclassification 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.

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of the Trusts failed to clear any of its auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate which ranged from 3.29% to 4.51%. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Trusts but it is a liquidity event for the holders of the Preferred Shares. Recent auction market liquidity problems have triggered numerous failed auctions for many closed-end funds, including BlackRock. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a Trust’s auction rate preferred shares than buyers. It is impossible to predict how long this imbalance will last. An auction for each Trust’s Preferred Shares may not occur for a long period of time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, holders of the Preferred Shares may not have the amount of liquidity they desire or the ability to sell the Preferred Shares at par.

5. Capital Loss Carryforward

As of August 31, 2007, the Trusts had the following capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized gains:

| | Capital
Loss Carryforward | Expires |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Insured Municipal | $ 1,544,099 | 2015 |
| Municipal Income II | $ 5,097,889 | 2012 |

| Maryland Bond | $ 27,007 | 2015 |
| New York Income II | $ 70,160 | 2015 |
| Virginia Bond | $ 45,800 | 2015 |

6. 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 agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories, which could seriously affect the ability of these states and their municipal subdivisions to meet continuing obligations for principle and interest payments and therefore could impact the value of the Trusts’ investments and net asset value per share, than if the Trusts were not concentrated in securities issued by state agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories.

Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that market value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. These securities have been identified in the Schedules of Investments.

7. Subsequent Events:

Each Trust paid tax-exempt dividends per common share on April 1, 2008 to shareholders of record on March 14, 2008 in the following amounts:

General Information

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 it is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (800) 441-7762

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

(a)(1) As of November 5, 2007, the Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals comprised of Phillip Soccio, CFA, Vice President at BlackRock, Theodore R. Jaeckel, Jr., CFA, Managing Director at BlackRock, and Walter O’Connor, Managing Director at BlackRock. Each is a member of BlackRock’s municipal tax-exempt management group.

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

BlackRock, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, herein “BlackRock”) has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, its affiliates and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates, or any officer, director, stockholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRock’s (or its affiliates’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its affiliates or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Each portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a Fund. In this connection, it should be noted that Mr. Jaeckel currently manages certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, Mr. Jaeckel assists in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees.

As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock has adopted a policy that is intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among client accounts over time. This policy also seeks to achieve reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base.

(a)(3) As of February 29, 2008: Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

BlackRock’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the

incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock such as its Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan.

Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform additional management functions within the portfolio management group or within BlackRock may receive additional compensation for serving in these other capacities.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s seniority, role within the portfolio management team, teamwork and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks include a combination of market-based indices (e.g., Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups.

BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the portfolio managers’ compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above. Performance is measured on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3, 5 and 10-year periods, as applicable.

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on the Company’s ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods.

Other compensation benefits. In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following:

Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) — The LTIP is a long-term incentive plan that seeks to reward certain key employees. Prior to 2006, the plan provided for the grant of awards that were expressed as an amount of cash that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in cash and/or in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Beginning in 2006, awards are granted under the LTIP in the form of BlackRock, Inc.

restricted stock units that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Each portfolio manager except Mr. Soccio has received awards under the LTIP.

Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Each participant in the deferred compensation program is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among various options, including to certain of the firm’s hedge funds and other proprietary mutual funds. Each portfolio manager except Mr. Soccio has participated in the deferred compensation program.

Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $4,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3% of eligible compensation, plus an additional contribution of 2% for any year in which BlackRock has positive net operating income. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies managed by the firm. Company contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent employee investment direction, are invested into a balanced portfolio. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares or a dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate in these plans.

(a)(4) As of February 29, 2008, Mr. Soccio did not beneficially own any stock issued by the Fund.
