NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Note 1. Organization & Accounting Policies

BlackRock Broad Investment Grade 2009 Term Trust Inc. (“Broad Investment Grade”), BlackRock Core Bond Trust (“Core Bond”), BlackRock High Yield Trust (“High Yield”), BlackRock Income Opportunity Trust (“Income Opportunity”), BlackRock Income Trust Inc. (“Income Trust”), BlackRock Limited Duration Income Trust (“Limited Duration”) and BlackRock Strategic Bond Trust (“Strategic Bond”) (collectively, the “Trusts”) are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Broad Investment Grade, Income Opportunity and Income Trust are organized as Maryland corporations. Core Bond, High Yield, Limited Duration and Strategic Bond are organized as Delaware statutory trusts.

On December 3, 1999, Broad Investment Grade transferred a substantial portion of its total assets to a 100% owned regulated investment company subsidiary called BCT Subsidiary, Inc. The financial statements and these notes to the financial statements for Broad Investment Grade are consolidated and include the operations of both Broad Investment Grade and its wholly owned subsidiary after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances.

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

Investment Valuation: The Trusts value most of their investments on the basis of current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trust’s Board (the “Board”) of Directors/Trustees (the “Trustees”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Exchange-traded options are valued at their last sales price as of the close of options trading on applicable exchanges. In the absence of a last sale, options are valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices as of the close of business. A futures contract is valued at the last sale price as of the close of the commodities exchange on which it trades. Swap quotations are provided by dealers selected under the supervision of the Board. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Investments or assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Value Assets”) as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, each Trust’s Board. The investment advisor and/or sub-advisor will submit its recommendations regarding the valuation and/or valuation methodologies for Fair Value Assets to a valuation committee. The valuation committee may accept, modify or reject any recommendations. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to the Board.

When determining the price for a Fair Value Asset, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that BlackRock Advisors deems relevant.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. The cost of investments sold and the related gain or loss is determined by use of the specific identification method, generally first-in, first out, for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Each Trust records interest income on an accrual basis and amortizes premium and/or accretes discount on securities purchased using the interest method.

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, a Trust’s custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which at least equals the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by a Trust may be delayed or limited.

Bank Loans: In the process of buying, selling and holding bank loans, a Trust may receive and/or pay certain fees. These fees are in addition to interest payments received and may include facility fees, commitment fees, amendment fees, commissions and prepayment penalty fees. When a Trust buys a bank loan it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a bank loan it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, a Trust may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a bank loan. In certain circumstances, a Trust may receive a prepayment penalty fee upon the prepayment of a bank loan by a borrower. Other fees received by a Trust may include covenant waiver fees and covenant modification fees.

Option Writing/Purchasing: When a Trust writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Trust is recorded as an asset or a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Trust on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or the proceeds from the sale in determining whether a Trust has realized a gain or a loss on investment transactions. A Trust, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

Options, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a security or a portfolio to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “one” means that a portfolio’s or a security’s price would be expected to change by approximately one percent with a one percent change in interest rates, while a duration of five would imply that the price would move approximately five percent in relation to a one percent change in interest rates.

Option writing and purchasing may be used by the Trusts as an attempt to manage the duration of positions, or collections of positions, so that changes in interest rates do not adversely affect the targeted duration of the portfolio unexpectedly. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. Put or call options can be purchased or sold to help manage the targeted duration of the portfolio.

The main risk that is associated with purchasing options is that the option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option expires worthless and the premium paid for the option is considered the loss. The risk associated with writing call options is that a Trust may forgo the opportunity for a profit if the market value of the underlying position increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing put options is that a Trust may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying position decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, the Trust risks not being able to enter into a closing transaction for the written option as the result of an illiquid market.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Trust may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs. Such securities will be considered liquid only if so determined in accordance with guidelines established by the Trustees.

Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place. Risks arise from the possible inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Trust will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trust’s basis in the contract, if any.

The Trusts are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the swap. However, the Trusts closely monitor swaps and do not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Total Return Swaps: Total return swaps are agreements in which one party commits to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Trust will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. Interest rate swaps are efficient as asset/liability management tools. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time.

Swap Options: Swap options are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options are recorded as liabilities or assets and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by a Trust on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commission, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or the proceeds from the sale in determining whether a Trust has realized a gain or loss on investment transactions.

The main risk that is associated with purchasing swap options is that the swap option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option expires worthless and the premium paid for the swap option is considered the loss. The main risk that is associated with the writing of a swap option is the market risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the interest rate swap underlying the written swap option.

Swap options may be used by the Trusts to manage the duration of the Trusts’ portfolios in a manner similar to more generic options described above.

Interest Rate Caps: Interest rate caps are similar to interest rate swaps, except that one party agrees to pay a fee, while the other party pays the excess, if any, of a floating rate over a specified fixed or floating rate.

Interest rate caps are intended to both manage the duration of the Trusts’ portfolios and their exposure to changes in short-term interest rates. Owning interest rate caps reduces a portfolio’s duration, making it less sensitive to changes in interest rates from a market value perspective. The effect on income involves protection from rising short-term interest rates, which the Trusts experience primarily in the form of leverage.

The Trusts are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the interest rate cap. However, the Trusts do not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Transaction fees paid or received by the Trusts are recognized as assets or liabilities and amortized or accreted into interest expense or income over the life of the interest rate cap. The asset or liability is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the interest rate cap purchased or sold. Changes in the value of the interest rate cap are recognized as unrealized gains and losses.

Interest Rate Floors: Interest rate floors are similar to interest rate swaps, except that one party agrees to pay a fee, while the other party pays the deficiency, if any, of a floating rate under a specified fixed or floating rate.

Interest rate floors are used by the Trusts to both manage the duration of the portfolios and their exposure to changes in short-term interest rates. Selling interest rate floors reduces a portfolio’s duration, making it less sensitive to changes in interest rates from a market value perspective. The Trusts’ leverage provides extra income in a period of falling rates. Selling floors reduces some of that extra income by partially monetizing it as an up-front payment which the Trusts receive.

The Trusts are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the interest rate floor. However, the Trusts do not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Transaction fees paid or received by the Trusts are recognized as assets or liabilities and amortized or accreted into interest expense or income over the life of the interest rate floor. The asset or liability is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the interest rate floor purchased or sold. Changes in the value of the interest rate floor are recognized as unrealized gains and losses.

Financial Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument for a set price on a future date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking-to-market on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, a Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trust’s basis in the contract.

Financial futures contracts, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Futures contracts can be sold to effectively shorten an otherwise longer duration portfolio. In the same sense, futures contracts can be purchased to lengthen a portfolio that is shorter than its duration target. Thus, by buying or selling futures contracts, the Trusts may attempt to manage the duration of positions so that changes in interest rates do not change the duration of the portfolio unexpectedly.

Forward Currency Contracts: The Trusts enter into forward currency contracts primarily to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of foreign securities and to help manage the overall exposure to foreign currency. A forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date (usually the security transaction settlement date) at a negotiated forward rate. In the event that a security fails to settle within the normal settlement period, the forward currency contract is renegotiated at a new rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the settlement value of the original and renegotiated forward contracts is isolated and is included in net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract.

Forward currency contracts, when used by the Trusts, help to manage the overall exposure to the foreign currency backing some of the investments held by the Trusts. Forward currency contracts are not meant to be used to eliminate all of the exposure to the foreign currency, rather they allow the Trusts to limit their exposure to foreign currency within a narrow band to the objectives of the Trusts.

Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis:


(i)	market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the London 4:00 PM rates of exchange. Effective as of November 7, 2005, the 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time rates of exchange will be used.

(ii)	purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Trusts isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at period end. Similarly, the Trusts isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the period.

Net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses includes realized foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign portfolio securities, maturities of foreign reverse repurchase agreements, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest and discount recorded on the Trusts’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses in the value of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Short Sales: The Trusts may make short sales of securities as a method of managing potential price declines in similar securities owned. When a Trust makes a short sale, it may borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale as collateral for its obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the sale. The Trusts may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular securities and may be obligated to pay over any payments received on such borrowed securities. A gain, limited to the price at which a Trust sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is greater or less than the proceeds originally received.

Bonds Borrowed Agreements: In a bonds borrowed agreement, the Trust borrows securities from a third party, with the commitment that they will be returned to the lender on an agreed-upon date. Bonds borrowed agreements are primarily entered into to settle short positions. In a bonds borrowed agreement, the Trust’s prime broker or third party broker takes possession of the underlying collateral securities or cash to settle such short positions. The value of the underlying collateral securities or cash approximates the principal amount of the bonds borrowed transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that bonds borrowed transactions exceed one business day, the value of the collateral with any counterparty is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the lender defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the lender of the security, realization of the collateral by the Trust may be delayed or limited.

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

Federal Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s intention to continue to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient amounts of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provisions are required. As part of a tax planning strategy, Broad Investment Grade has retained a portion of its taxable income and will pay excise tax on the undistributed amounts.

Dividends and Distributions: Each Trust declares and pays dividends and distributions to common shareholders monthly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss car-ryforwards may be distributed in accordance with the 1940 Act. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees are required to defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock closed-end funds selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts: In order to present undistributed (distribution in excess of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated net realized gain (“Accumulated Gain”) and paid-in-capital (“PIC”) more closely to its tax character, the following accounts for each Trust were increased (decreased):


Trust	UNII			Accumulated Gain				PIC

Broad Investment Grade	$	(2,478,442	)		$	(509,131	)	$	2,987,573
Core Bond		4,546,845				(4,545,298	)		(1,547	)
High Yield		717,081				—			(717,081	)
Income Opportunity		2,334,513				(2,334,513	)		—
Income Trust		(1,571,393	)			1,571,393			—
Limited Duration		15,362				(15,362	)		—
Strategic Bond		1,898,203				—			(1,898,203	)

Note 2. Agreements

Each Trust has an Investment Management Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to Core Bond, Limited Duration and Strategic Bond. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect, majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.

Broad Investment Grade, High Yield, Income Opportunity and Income Trust each have an Administration Agreement with the Advisor. The Investment Management Agreement for Core Bond, Limited Duration and Strategic Bond covers both investment advisory and administration services.

Each Trust’s investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.55% for Broad Investment Grade, 0.60% for Income Opportunity and 0.65% for Income Trust, of each Trust’s average net assets and 0.55% for Core Bond and Limited Duration, 1.05% for High Yield and 0.75% for Strategic Bond, of each Trust’s average weekly managed assets. “Managed assets” means the total assets of a Trust (including any assets attributable to any borrowing that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees or other expenses on Strategic Bond as a percentage of its average weekly managed assets as follows: 0.20% for the first 5 years of the Trust’s operations, 0.15% in year 6, 0.10% in year 7 and 0.05% in year 8.

The administration fee paid to the Advisor by Broad Investment Grade, High Yield, Income Opportunity and Income Trust is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.15%, 0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.15%, respectively of the Trusts’ average weekly managed assets.

Pursuant to the agreements, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolio and pays the compensation of officers of each Trust who are affiliated persons of the Advisor, as well as occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of each Trust. Each Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for cost of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support, and compliance services to each Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2005, the Trusts reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts:


Trust	Amount		Trust	Amount

Broad Investment Grade	$	3,650	Income Trust	$	31,087
Core Bond		24,820	Limited Duration		24,820
High Yield		2,500	Strategic Bond		6,198
Income Opportunity		25,652

Pursuant to the terms of their custody agreements, Core Bond, High Yield, Income Opportunity, Income Trust, Limited Duration and Strategic Bond received earnings credits from its custodian for positive cash balances maintained, which are used to offset custody fees.

Dollar Rolls: The Trusts may enter into dollar rolls in which a Trust sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period the Trusts forgo principal and interest paid on the securities. The Trusts will be compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and/or by the lower repurchase price at the future date.

Loan Payable: High Yield has a $32 million committed credit facility (the “facility”). Under the terms of the facility, the Trust borrows at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus facility and administrative fees. In addition, the Trust pays a liquidity fee on the unused portion of the facility. The Trust may borrow up to 33 1/3% of its total assets up to the committed amount. In accordance with the terms of the facility, the Trust has pledged its portfolio assets as collateral for the borrowing.

To the Trustees/Directors and Shareholders of:

BlackRock Core Bond Trust

BlackRock High Yield Trust

BlackRock Income Opportunity Trust

BlackRock Income Trust Inc.

(Collectively the “Trusts”)

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trusts as of October 31, 2005, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS

Pursuant to each Trust’s respective Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), shareholders of Broad Investment Grade, Income Opportunity and Income Trust may elect, while shareholders of Core Bond, High Yield, Limited Duration and Strategic Bond are automatically enrolled, to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan.

After Broad Investment Grade and/or Income Opportunity Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, by the purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trust’s primary exchange or elsewhere (“open market purchases”). The Trust will not issue any new shares under the Plan.

After Core Bond, High Yield, Income Trust, Limited Duration and/or Strategic Bond declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants who request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commisson. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021 or (800) 699-1BFM.

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

At a meeting held on May 26, 2005, the board of directors or the board of trustees, as the case may be (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of each trust in the BlackRock Closed-End Fund Complex (each a “Trust”), including the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the continuance of an Investment Management Agreement between each Trust and BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). For each Investment Management Agreement, the Boards also approved a related Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, when applicable, among each respective Trust, the Advisor and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor”). The Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements sometimes are referred to herein collectively as the “Agreements”. The Advisor and the Sub-Advisor sometimes are referred to herein collectively as “BlackRock”.

Information Received by the Boards

To assist each Board in its evaluation of the Agreements, the Independent Trustees received information from BlackRock on or about April 27, 2005 which detailed, among other things: the organization, business lines and capabilities of BlackRock, including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel and biographical information relating to key personnel; financial statements for BlackRock, Inc., The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and each Trust; the advisory and/or administrative fees paid by each Trust to BlackRock, including comparisons, compiled by an independent third party, with the management fees of funds with similar investment objectives (“Peers”); the profitability of BlackRock and certain industry profitability analyses for advisors to registered investment companies; the expenses of BlackRock in providing the various services; non-investment advisory reimbursements and “fallout” benefits to BlackRock; the expenses of each Trust, including comparisons of the respective Trust’s expense ratios (both before and after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its Peers; and each Trust’s performance for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, when applicable, as well as each Trust’s performance compared to its Peers. This information supplemented the information received by each Board throughout the year regarding each Trust’s performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and compliance.

In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees provided a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Boards under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as well as the general principles of relevant law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts, the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters, an advisor’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation, and the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the boards in voting on advisory agreements.

Prior to the Board meeting, the Independent Trustees reviewed a preliminary binder of information, and, in consultation with independent counsel, submitted a memorandum on May 12, 2005, to BlackRock setting forth certain questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these questions in writing on May 24, 2005 and May 25, 2005. The Independent Trustees reviewed these responses with independent counsel on May 25, 2005.

At the Board meeting on May 26, 2005, BlackRock made a presentation to and responded to additional questions from the Boards. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their legal counsel to review the Boards’ duties in reviewing the Agreements and to consider the renewal of the Agreements. With this background, the Boards considered each Agreement and, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission statements relating to the renewal of the Agreements.

Matters Considered by the Boards

In connection with their deliberations, the Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Trust, including the following: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by BlackRock; the investment performance of each Trust; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trusts; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the BlackRock closed-end fund complex grows; and whether BlackRock realizes other benefits from its relationship with the Trusts.

Nature and Quality of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of BlackRock’s services, the Boards reviewed information concerning the types of services that BlackRock provides and is expected to provide to each Trust, narrative and statistical information concerning each Trust’s performance record and how such performance compares to each Trust’s Peers, information describing BlackRock’s organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Boards further noted the willingness of the personnel of BlackRock to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards further considered the quality of BlackRock’s investment process in making portfolio management decisions. Given the Boards’ experience with BlackRock, the Boards noted that they were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of BlackRock.

In addition to advisory services, the Independent Trustees considered the quality of the administrative or non-investment advisory services provided to the Trusts. In this regard, BlackRock provides each Trust with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Trusts) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Trust. In addition to investment management services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Trust with a wide range of services, including: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements and Trust web sites; communications with analysts to support secondary market trading; assisting with daily accounting and pricing; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal and compliance support (such as helping to prepare proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust

(such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In addition, in evaluating the administrative services, the Boards considered, in particular, BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations in light of the new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations governing compliance. The Boards noted BlackRock’s focus on compliance and its compliance systems. The Independent Trustees noted that BlackRock’s commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds is particularly noteworthy.

The Investment Performance of the Trusts. As previously noted, the Boards received myriad performance information regarding each Trust and its Peers. Among other things, the Boards received materials reflecting each Trust’s historic performance and each Trust’s performance compared to its Peers. More specifically, each Trust’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year total returns (when applicable) were evaluated relative to its respective Peers (including the performance of individual Peers as well as the Peers’ average performance).

The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the Boards’ request. The summary placed the Peer rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons. In evaluating the performance information, in certain limited instances, the Boards noted that the Peers most similar to a given Trust still would not adequately reflect such Trust’s investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Trust’s performance with that of its Peers. The Boards noted the quality of information provided by BlackRock throughout the year with respect to the performance of the Trusts. The Boards considered this information in connection with its deliberations as to whether the level of management services provided to each Trust, in light of all the other facts and circumstances relating to that Trust, supports a conclusion that the Trust’s Agreement should be renewed.

Fees and Expenses. In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Trust is expected to bear, the Boards considered each Trust’s current management fee structure and the Trust’s expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as relative to the fees and expense ratios of applicable Peers. In reviewing fees, the Boards, among other things, reviewed comparisons of each Trust’s gross management fees before and after any applicable reimbursements and fee waivers and total expense ratios before and after any applicable waivers with those of the applicable Peers. The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the request of the Boards. This summary placed the rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons.

The Boards also compared the management fees charged to the Trusts by BlackRock to the management fees BlackRock charges other types of clients (such as open-end investment companies and separately managed institutional accounts). With respect to open-end investment companies, the management fees charged to the Trusts generally were higher than those charged to the open-end investment companies. The Boards also noted that BlackRock provides the Trusts with certain services not provided to open-end funds, such as leverage management in connection with the issuance of preferred shares, stock exchange listing compliance requirements, rating agency compliance with respect to the leverage employed by the Trusts and secondary market support and other services not provided to the Trusts, such as monitoring of subscriptions and redemptions. With respect to separately managed institutional accounts, the management fees for such accounts were generally lower than those charged to the comparable Trusts. The Boards noted, however, the various services that are provided and the costs incurred by BlackRock in managing and operating the Trusts. For instance, BlackRock and its affiliates provide numerous services to the Trusts that are not provided to institutional accounts including, but not limited to: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; income monitoring; expense budgeting; preparing proxy statements; and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). Further, the Boards noted the increased compliance requirements for the Trusts in light of new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts.

The Boards considered this information in connection with its deliberations as to whether the fees paid by each Trust under its Agreements, in light of all the other facts and circumstances relating to that Trust, supports a conclusion that the Trust’s Agreements should be renewed.

Profitability. The Trustees also considered BlackRock’s profitability in conjunction with their review of fees. The Trustees reviewed BlackRock’s revenues, expenses and profitability margins on an after-tax basis. In reviewing profitability, the Trustees recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of allocating expenses. The Trustees also reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard, the methods of allocation used appeared reasonable but the Boards noted the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not publicly available.

The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s pre-tax profit margin compared to the pre-tax profitability of various publicly-traded investment management companies and/or investment management companies that publicly disclose some or all of their financial results.

In evaluating the reasonableness of BlackRock’s compensation, the Boards also considered any other revenues paid to BlackRock, including partial reimbursements paid to BlackRock for certain non-investment advisory services. The Boards noted that these payments were less than BlackRock’s costs for providing these services. The Boards also considered indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements) that BlackRock and its affiliates are expected to receive that are attributable to their management of the Trusts.

In reviewing each Trust’s fees and expenses, the Boards examined the potential benefits of economies of scale, and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Trusts’ fee structures, for example through the use of breakpoints. In this connection, the Boards reviewed

information provided by BlackRock, noting that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund-level breakpoints, as closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after their initial public offering and each fund is managed independently consistent with its own investment objectives. The information also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure, and that this complex generally is homogeneous with regard to the types of funds managed and is about four times as large as the Trusts’ complex. The Boards concluded that breakpoints were not warranted at this time.

Other Benefits. In evaluating fees, the Boards also considered indirect benefits or profits BlackRock or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the Trusts. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to BlackRock and its affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Trusts, including potential benefits accruing to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of potentially stronger relationships with members of the broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of BlackRock and its affiliates, enhanced sales of other investment funds and products sponsored by BlackRock and its affiliates and increased assets under management which may increase the benefits realized by BlackRock from soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers. The Boards also considered the unquantifiable nature of these potential benefits.

Miscellaneous. During the Boards’ deliberations in connection with the Agreements, the Boards were aware that the Advisor pays compensation, out of its own assets, to the lead underwriter and to certain qualifying underwriters of many of its closed-end funds, and to employees of BlackRock’s affiliates that participated in the offering of such funds. The Boards considered whether the management fee met applicable standards in light of the services provided by BlackRock, without regard to whether BlackRock ultimately pays any portion of the anticipated compensation to the underwriters.

Conclusion

The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, determined that each of the factors described above, in light of all the other factors and all of the facts and circumstances applicable to each respective Trust, was acceptable for each Trust and supported the Trustees’ conclusion that the terms of each Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Trust’s fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to the respective Trust, and that the renewal of each Agreement should be approved.

SECTION 19 NOTICES

Set forth below is a summary of notices sent by each Trust, if any, pursuant to Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Section 19 requires each Trust to accompany dividend payments with a notice if any part of that payment is from a source other than accumulated net income, not including profits or losses from the sale of securities or other properties.

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (800) 699-1BFM.

The Trusts have delegated to the Advisor the voting of proxies relating to their voting securities pursuant to the Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures. You may obtain a copy of these proxy voting policies and procedures, without charge, by calling (800) 699-1BFM. These policies and procedures are also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) at http://www.sec.gov.

Information on how proxies relating to the Trusts’ voting securities were voted (if any) by the Advisor during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30th is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 699-1BFM or on the website of the Commission at http://www.sec.gov.

The Trusts file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings for the first and third quarters of their respective fiscal years with the Commission on Form N-Q. Each Trust’s Form N-Q will be available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Each Trust’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. Each Trust’s Form N-Q may also be obtained, upon request, by calling (800) 699-1BFM.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
(a) The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

(b) Not applicable.

(c) The Registrant has not amended its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto.

(d) The Registrant has not granted a waiver or an implicit waiver from a provision of its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto.

(e) Not applicable.

(f) The Registrant's Code of Ethics is attached as an Exhibit hereto.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that it has three audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee, each of whom is an "independent" Trustee: Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer, Kent Dixon and Frank Fabozzi. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $32,235 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $29,900 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements and are not reported above in Item 4(a) were $9,587 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and

$0 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The nature of these services was attest services not required by statute or regulation, overhead and out-of-pocket expenses.

(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $7,500 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $10,500 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The nature of these services was federal, state and local income and excise tax return preparation and related advice and planning and miscellaneous tax advice.

(d) All Other Fees. There were no fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported above in Items 4(a) through (c).

(e) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.
(1) The Registrant has polices and procedures (the "Policy") for the pre-approval by the Registrant's Audit Committee of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Services (as each is defined in the Policy) provided by the Registrant’s independent auditor (the "Independent Auditor") to the Registrant and other "Covered Entities" (as defined below). The term of any such pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The amount of any such pre-approval is set forth in the appendices to the Policy (the "Service Pre-Approval Documents"). At its first meeting of each calendar year, the Audit Committee will approve or re-approve the Service Pre-Approval Documents for that year, together with any changes deemed necessary or desirable by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, from time to time, modify the nature of the services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees pre-approved or both.

For the purposes of the Policy, "Covered Services" means (A) all engagements for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Independent Auditor to the Registrant and (B) all engagements for non-audit services that directly impacted the operations and financial reporting or the Registrant to be provided by the Independent Auditor to any Covered Entity. "Covered Entities" means (1) BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) or (2) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant.

In the intervals between the scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority under this Policy to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (the "Chairman"). The Chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions under this Policy to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. At each scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee will review with the Independent Auditor the Covered Services pre-approved by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority, if any, and the fees related thereto. Based on these reviews, the Audit Committee can modify, at its discretion, the pre-approval originally granted by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority. This modification can be to the nature of services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees approved, or both. Audit Committee may modify or withdraw this delegated authority at any time the Audit Committee determines that it is appropriate to do so.

Fee levels for all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditor and pre-approved under this Policy will be established annually by the Audit Committee and set forth in the Service Pre-Approval Documents. Any increase in pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

The terms and fees of the annual Audit services engagement for the Registrant are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions or fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Registrant structure or other matters.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, any other Audit services for the Registrant not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are not required for the audit, but are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements of the Registrant and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the other Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditor. Audit-Related services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditor can provide Tax services to the Registrant and Covered Entities such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditor in connection with a transaction, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Tax services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

All Other services that are covered and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

Requests or applications to provide Covered Services that require approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) must be submitted to the Audit Committee or the Chairman, as the case may be, by both the Independent Auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant or the respective Covered Entity, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, (a) the request or application is consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on auditor independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. A request or application submitted to the Chairman between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should include a discussion as to why approval is being sought prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.

(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrant's accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, the Advisor (except for any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for each of the last two fiscal years were $1,341,450 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $835,100 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

(h) The Registrant's Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
The Registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee of the Registrant is comprised of: Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer; Richard E. Cavanagh; Kent Dixon and Frank J. Fabozzi.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments.
The Registrant’s Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to Shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
The Registrant has delegated the voting of proxies relating to its voting securities to its investment advisor, BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") and its sub-advisor, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the "Sub-Advisor"). The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Advisor and Sub-Advisor (the "Proxy Voting Policies") are attached as an Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL hereto.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies
Not applicable.

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Companies and Affiliated Purchasers.
Not applicable.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The Registrant’s Nominating Committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders when a vacancy becomes available. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations which include biographical information and sets forth the qualifications of the proposed nominee to the Registrant’s Secretary. There have been no material changes to these procedures.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
(a) The Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of this filing and have concluded, as of that date, that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in this Form N-CSR was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods and that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in this Form N-CSR was accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principle executive and principle financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) There were no changes in the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a -3(d)) that occurred during the Registrant's fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
