Master Large Cap Core Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the Master Large Cap Series LLC (the “Master LLC”). The Master LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to issue non-transferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Portfolio’s 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. During the period, the Portfolio changed its fiscal year end to September 30.
On January 30, 2009, the Portfolio received an in-kind contribution of portfolio securities from one of its investors, which was valued at $771,174,100.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio:
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued by a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BAC became a stockholder of BlackRock following its acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on January 1, 2009. Prior to that date,

both PNC and Merrill Lynch were considered affiliates of the Portfolio under the 1940 Act. Subsequent to the acquisition, PNC remains an affiliate, but due to the restructuring of Merrill Lynch’s ownership interest of BlackRock, BAC is not deemed to be an affiliate under the 1940 Act.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Portfolio’s investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services.
The Manager is responsible for the management of the Portfolio’s investments and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Portfolio. The Portfolio pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets not exceeding $1 billion, 0.45% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion but not exceeding $5 billion of the average daily net assets and 0.40% of the average daily net assets in excess of $5 billion.
The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Portfolio pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. This amount is shown as fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations.
The Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager, under which the Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Portfolio to the Manager.
For the period November 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009 and the year ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio reimbursed the Manager $56,620 and $79,621, respectively, for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations.
The Master LLC has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission permitting it to lend portfolio securities to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, or its affiliates. Pursuant to that order, the Portfolio has retained BIM as the securities lending agent for a fee based on a share of the income from investment of cash collateral. BIM may, on behalf of the Portfolio, invest cash collateral received by the Portfolio for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The share of income earned by the Portfolio on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statements of Operations. For the period November 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009 and the year ended October 31, 2008, BIM received $293,110 and $608,113, respectively, in securities lending agent fees for the Portfolio.
The Portfolio may earn income on positive cash balances in demand deposit accounts. For the period November 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009 and the year ended October 31, 2008, the Portfolio earned $2,369 and $36,030, respectively, which is included in income — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Portfolio reimburses the Manager for compensation paid to the Master LLC’s Chief Compliance Officer.
3. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the period November 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009 were $6,192,253,991 and $5,418,083,628, respectively.
4. Short-Term Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Portfolio, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2009 and was subsequently renewed until November 2010. The Portfolio may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions and for other lawful purposes other than for leverage. The Portfolio may borrow up to the maximum amount allowable under the Portfolio’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, subject to various other legal, regulatory or contractual limits. The Portfolio paid its pro rata share of a 0.02% upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount based on its net assets. The Portfolio pays a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Portfolio’s pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous in the Statements of Operations. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the (a) federal funds effective rate and (b) reserve adjusted one month LIBOR, plus, in each case, the higher of (i) 1.50% and (ii) 50% of the CDX Index (as defined in the credit agreement). The Portfolio did not borrow under the credit agreement during the period November 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009.
5. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
The Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in securities in the health care sector. Please see the Schedule of Investments for these securities. Changes in economic conditions affecting the health care sector would have a greater impact on the Portfolio, and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Portfolio to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Portfolio’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. Reorganization:
On September 24, 2007, an investor of the Portfolio acquired all of the net assets of BlackRock Investment Trust Portfolio of BlackRock Funds (“Investment Trust”), pursuant to a plan of reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, which included $286,539,853 of net unrealized appreciation, the Portfolio received an in-kind contribution of portfolio securities.
On November 14, 2008, an investor of the Portfolio acquired all of the assets and certain stated liabilities of PNC Growth & Income Fund (the “PNC Fund”), a series of PNC Funds, Inc. The reorganization was pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, which was approved by the shareholders of the PNC Fund on October 31, 2008. As a result of the reorganization, which included $59,817,678 of net unrealized depreciation, the Portfolio received an in-kind contribution of portfolio securities.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through November 25, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | Master Large Cap Core Portfolio |
To the Investors and Board of Directors of Master Large Cap Series LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Master Large Cap Core Portfolio, one of the portfolios constituting Master Large Cap Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), as of September 30, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the period November 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 and for the year ended October 31, 2008, the statements of changes in net assets for the period November 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 and for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2008, and the financial highlights for the period November 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 and for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2008. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Master LLC’s 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 Master LLC is 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 Master LLC’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 the securities owned as of September 30, 2009, 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 Master Large Cap Core Portfolio of Master Large Cap Series LLC as of September 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the period November 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 and for the year ended October 31, 2008, the changes in its net assets for the period November 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 and for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2008, and the financial highlights for the period November 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 and for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

Notes to Financial Statements | Master Total Return Portfolio |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) is a part of Master Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”) and is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Directors to issue non-transferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Master Portfolio’s 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 Master Portfolio:
Valuation: The Master Portfolio values its bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of the Master LLC’s Board of Directors (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 dealers, pricing matrixes, 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. The fair value of asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are estimated based on models. The models consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. To-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Master Portfolio’s pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and trades of underlying securities. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with maturities less than 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security.
Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-the-counter options and swaptions are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying securities.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued by a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Master Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the respective Board or a committee thereof.
Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in computing the net assets of the Master Portfolio are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates will be determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Master Portfolio’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, those securities may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Board. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mid between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Master Portfolio reports foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets, or as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, and are generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a

decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security subject to such a prepayment feature will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. If the Master Portfolio has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated pre-payment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.
The Master Portfolio may purchase certain mortgage pass-through securities. There are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the US Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by GNMA and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), including FNMA guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates which are solely the obligations of the FNMA, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States and are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.
The Master Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in securities backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that hold mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Please see the Schedule of Investments for these securities. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults on assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.
Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These multiple class securities may be issued by GNMA, US government agencies or instrumentalities or by trusts formed by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans. In general, CMOs are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by, and multiple class pass-through securities represent direct ownership interests in, a pool of residential or commercial mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”), the payments on which are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Classes of CMOs include interest only (“IOs”), principal only (“POs”), planned amortization classes (“PACs”) and targeted amortization classes (“TACs”). IOs and POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the rate at which the investment is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated pre-payments of principal, the Master Portfolio may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.
Capital Trusts: These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual or stated maturity date. Interest can be deferred without creating an event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market. These securities can have a rating that is slightly below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions: The Master Portfolio may sell mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specific future date at an agreed-upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Master Portfolio will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. The Master Portfolio accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realize gains and losses on these transactions. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Master Portfolio is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
Treasury Roll Transactions: A treasury roll transaction involves the sale of a Treasury security, with an agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed upon price and date. Treasury rolls constitute a borrowing and the difference between the sale and repurchase price represents interest expense at an agreed upon rate. Whether such a transaction produces a positive impact on performance depends upon whether the income and gains on the securities purchased with the proceeds received from the sale of the security exceeds the interest expense incurred by the Master Portfolio. Treasury rolls are not considered purchases and sales and any gains or losses incurred on the treasury rolls will be deferred until the Treasury securities are disposed.
Treasury roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Master Portfolio is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon purchase price of those securities. If investment performance of securities purchased with proceeds from these transactions does not exceed the income, capital appreciation and gain or loss that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the treasury roll, the use of this technique will adversely impact the investment performance of the Master Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Total Return Portfolio |
Reverse Repurchase Agreements: The Master Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Master Portfolio sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. The Master Portfolio may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Master Portfolio is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Master Portfolio’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Master Portfolio’s obligation to repurchase the securities.
TBA Commitments: The Master Portfolio may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Master Portfolio’s other assets.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Master Portfolio may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Master Portfolio either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, TBAs beyond normal settlement, written options, foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts and swaps), or certain borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements) the Master Portfolio will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Master Portfolio has determined the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The Master Portfolio amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securities.
Income Taxes: The Master Portfolio is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master Portfolio is treated as owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Portfolio. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on the interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates. It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Master Portfolio files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Master Portfolio’s US federal tax returns remain open for each of the four years ended September 30, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Master Portfolio’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Recent Accounting Standards: In June 2009, amended guidance was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for transfers of financial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclosure provisions of the amended guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The impact of this guidance on the Master Portfolio’s financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Master Portfolio are charged to that Master Portfolio. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Custodian fees may be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances, which are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations.

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Master Portfolio may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the returns of the Master Portfolio and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Master Portfolio may mitigate counterparty risk through master netting agreements included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement between the Master Portfolio and its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows the Master Portfolio to offset with its counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held with each counterparty. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Master Portfolio from its counterparty are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for additional information with respect to collateral practices.
The Master Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Master Portfolio. For over-the-counter purchased options, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Options written by the Master Portfolio do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obligate the Master Portfolio to perform and not the counterparty. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Master Portfolio’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Master Portfolio fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Master Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Master Portfolio may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of interest rates (interest rate risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant to the contract, the Master Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by the Master Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Master Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Master Portfolio, help to manage the overall exposure to the currency backing some of the investments held by the Master Portfolio. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Master Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that counterparties may not meet the terms of the agreement or unfavorable movements in the value of a currency relative to the US dollar.
Options: The Master Portfolio may purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (interest rate risk). A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Master Portfolio purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Master Portfolio is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing transaction), the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received or paid). When the Master Portfolio writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Master Portfolio holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty, or cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. When the Master Portfolio writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

Options on swaps (swaptions) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option.
In purchasing and writing options, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Master Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Master Portfolio purchasing a security at a price different from the current market value. The Master Portfolio may execute transactions in both listed and over-the-counter options.
Swaps: The Master Portfolio may enter into swap agreements, in which the Master Portfolio and a counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount. These periodic payments received or made by the Master Portfolio are recorded in the Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated, the Master Portfolio will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Master Portfolio’s basis in the contract, if any. Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.
| |
• | Credit default swaps — The Master Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Master Portfolio enters into credit default agreements to provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer (as buyer protection) and/or gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of protection). The Master Portfolio may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign) or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Master Portfolio will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising of an index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising of an index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Master Portfolio will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising of an index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising of an index. |
| |
• | Interest rate swaps — The Master Portfolio may enter into interest rate swaps to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a 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. |

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BAC became a stockholder of BlackRock following its acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on January 1, 2009. Prior to that date, both PNC and Merrill Lynch were considered affiliates of the Master Portfolio under the 1940 Act. Subsequent to the acquisition, PNC remains an affiliate, but due to the restructuring of Merrill Lynch’s ownership interest of BlackRock, BAC is not deemed to be an affiliate under the 1940 Act.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Master LLC’s investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services.
The Manager is responsible for the management of the Master Portfolio’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities and equipment to provide such services to the Master Portfolio. For such services, the Master Portfolio pays a monthly fee based upon the aggregate average daily value of the net assets of the Master Portfolio and BlackRock High Income Fund of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. at an annual rate of 0.20% of the aggregate average daily net assets not exceeding $250 million; 0.15% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $250 million but less than $500 million; 0.10% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $500 million but less than $750 million and 0.05% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $750 million. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the aggregate average daily net asset value of the Master Portfolio and BlackRock High Income Fund was approximately $3,633,656,000.
The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fee by the amount of investment advisory fees the Master Portfolio pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. This amount is shown as fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Manager, under which the Manager pays BFM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Master Portfolio to the Manager.

5. Borrowings:
The Master Portfolio, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expires in November 2009. The Master Portfolio may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions and for other lawful purposes other than for leverage. The Master Portfolio may borrow up to the maximum amount allowable under the Master Portfolio’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, subject to various other legal, regulatory or contractual limits. The Master Portfolio paid its pro rata share of a 0.02% upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount based on its net assets. The Master Portfolio pays a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Master Portfolio’s pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is included in borrowing costs in the Statement of Operations. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the (a) federal funds effective rate and (b) reserve adjusted one month LIBOR, plus, in each case, the higher of (i) 1.50% and (ii) 50% of the CDX Index (as defined in the credit agreement). The Master Portfolio did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended September 30, 2009.
On August 28, 2009, the Master Portfolio borrowed under the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”). The TALF program was launched by the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board as a credit facility designed to restore liquidity to the market for asset-backed securities. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) will provide up to $1 trillion in non-recourse loans to support the issuance of certain AAA-rated asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“Eligible Securities”). The Master Portfolio posted as collateral already-held Eligible Securities, which were all commercial mortgage-backed securities, in return for non-recourse, 5-year term loans (“TALF loans”) in an amount equal to approximately 85% of the value of such Eligible Securities. The TALF loans are is shown as loan payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The following is a summary of the outstanding TALF loans and related information as of September 30, 2009:

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | Master Total Return Portfolio |
The non-recourse provision of the TALF loans allows the Master Portfolio to satisfy loan obligations with Eligible Securities, subject to certain conditions, even if the value of the Eligible Securities falls below the outstanding amount of the loan. The Master Portfolio can repay TALF loans prior to the maturity dates with no penalty. Principal and interest due on the loans will typically be paid with principal paydowns and interest received from the Eligible Securities. Credit agreements underlying each loan contain provisions to address instances in which interest payments on Eligible Securities fall short of amounts due to the FRBNY. The Master Portfolio paid to the FRBNY a one time administration fee of 0.20% of the amount borrowed, which was expensed as incurred in the current period by the Master Portfolio and is included in borrowing costs in the Statement of Operations. The Master Portfolio also pays a financing fee equal to the 5-year LIBOR swap rate plus 1.00% on the outstanding loan amount payable monthly, which is included in interest expense in the Statement of Operations.
Since the Master Portfolio has the ability to potentially satisfy TALF loan obligations by surrendering Eligible Securities, potential losses by the Master Portfolio associated with the TALF loans are limited to the difference between the amount of Eligible Securities posted at the time of loan initiation and the loan proceeds received by the Master Portfolio.
The Master Portfolio has elected to account for the outstanding TALF loans at fair value. The Master Portfolio elected to fair value its TALF loans to more closely align changes in the value of the TALF loans with changes in the value of the Eligible Securities and to reduce the potential volatility in the Statement of Operations which could result if only the Eligible Securities were fair valued. In fair valuing TALF loans, the Master Portfolio considers various factors such as observable market transactions, if available, changes in the value of Eligible Securities, interest rate movements, and the potential likelihood and timing of loan repayments. Any change in unrealized gain or loss associated with fair valuing TALF loans will be reflected in the Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2009, the fair value of the Master Portfolio’s TALF loan obligation was determined to be equal to its face value and as a result there were no unrealized gains or losses recorded by the Master Portfolio.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Master Portfolio’s average amount of outstanding transactions considered as borrowings from reverse repurchase agreement, treasury rolls and TALF loans was approximately $361,542,000 and the daily weighted average interest rate was 0.28%.
6. Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Master Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Master Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Master Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Master Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Master Portfolio to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Master Portfolio’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in the Master Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Master Portfolio through November 25, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | Master Total Return Portfolio |
To the Investors and Board of Directors of Master Bond LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”), as of September 30, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Master LLC’s 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 Master LLC is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 Master LLC’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 the securities owned as of September 30, 2009, 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 Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC as of September 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement |
The Board of Directors (the “Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of the BlackRock Balanced Capital Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) met on May 5, 2009 and June 4 – 5, 2009 to consider the approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Fund’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to the Fund. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board of the Fund consisted of fifteen individuals, twelve of whom were not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”), at the time of the Board’s approval of the Agreements. The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Board Member. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Performance Oversight Committee and the Executive Committee, which each have one interested Board Member) and is chaired by Independent Board Members.
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Fund and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any out performance or underperformance against its peers; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Fund for services, such as transfer agency, marketing and distribution, call center and fund accounting; (c) Fund operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) the Fund’s compliance with its Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; and (k) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the May 5, 2009 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in an ongoing process with BlackRock to continuously review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the May meeting included: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the investment performance of the Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and closed-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Fund to BlackRock; (f) sales and redemption data regarding the Fund’s shares; and (g) an internal comparison of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable.
At an in-person meeting held on May 5, 2009, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the May 5, 2009 meeting, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the June 4 – 5, 2009 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on June 4 – 5, 2009, the Fund’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect

to the Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. The Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to the Fund, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and BlackRock portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and certain affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Fund shares, services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with the Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, and the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by the Fund’s portfolio management team discussing Fund performance and the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and the Fund’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Fund with certain administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Fund. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Fund with other services, including: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of the Fund and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of the Fund. In preparation for the May 5, 2009 meeting, the Board was provided with reports, independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the Fund’s performance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in the Fund’s applicable Lipper category. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Board regularly reviews the performance of the Fund throughout the year. The Board attaches more importance to performance over relatively long periods of time, typically three to five years.

|
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued) |
The Board noted that the Fund ranked in the second, second and third quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively.
C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Fund: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. It also compared the Fund’s total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other comparable funds. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Fund. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information is available, the Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising open-end funds, among other product types. The comparison indicated that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms, which concluded that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.
In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to the Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high-quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fees, which do not take into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers, were lower than or equal to the median contractual advisory fees paid by the Fund’s Peers. The Board also noted that the Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the Fund increases, thereby allowing shareholders the potential to participate in economies of scale.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Fund increase and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of revised breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the assets of the Fund. The Board considered that the funds in the BlackRock fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations.
E. Other Factors: The Board also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from its relationship with the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Fund, including for administrative, transfer agency and distribution services. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other client accounts.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (concluded) |
In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
Conclusion
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and Sub-Advisor with respect to the Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. Based upon its evaluation of all these factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the Fund reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

| |
| (e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
| |
| The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services |
| |
| that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels. |
| |
| Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels. |
| |
| (e)(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) Affiliates’ Aggregate Non-Audit Fees: |

| Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC | | $ | 416,700 | | $ | 414,200 | |
| |
| (h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s 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 9 – | Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers – Not Applicable |

Item 10 – | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders – The registrant’s Nominating and Governance Committee will consider nominees to the board of directors recommended by shareholders when a vacancy becomes available. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations that include biographical information and set 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 |
| |
11(a) – | The registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing similar functions have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) are effective as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act and Rule 15(d)-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
