Dear Shareholder
Over the past 12 months, we have seen a sluggish, stimulus-driven economic recovery at long last gain real traction, accelerate, and transition into a consumption-driven expansion. For the most part, 2010 was plagued with widely fluctuating economic data, but as the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural problems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement. Although the sovereign debt crises and emerging market inflation that troubled the global economy in 2010 remain a challenge today, overall investor sentiment had improved considerably. In the first quarter of 2011, significant global events gave rise to new concerns about the future of the global economy. Political turmoil spread across the Middle East/North Africa (“MENA”) region, oil and other commodity prices soared, and markets recoiled as the nuclear crisis unfolded in the wake of a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March. These events shook investor confidence, but the global economic recovery would not be derailed.
In the United States, strength from the corporate sector and increasing consumer spending have been key drivers of economic growth, while the housing and labor markets have been the heaviest burdens. While housing has yet to show any meaningful sign of improvement, labor statistics have become increasingly positive in recent months.
Global equity markets experienced uneven growth and high volatility over the course of 2010, but ended the year strong. Following a strong start to 2011, the aforementioned headwinds brought high volatility back to equity markets. A pick up in inflationary pressures caused emerging market equities to underperform developed markets, where threats of inflation remained relatively subdued. Overall, equities posted strong returns for the 12-month period. US stocks outpaced most international markets and small cap stocks outperformed large caps as investors moved into higher-risk assets.
Fixed income markets saw yields trend lower over most of 2010, until the fourth quarter brought an abrupt reversal in sentiment and risk tolerance that drove yields sharply upward (pushing bond prices down) through year end. Improving economic data continued to pressure fixed income yields in 2011; however, escalating geopolitical risks have acted as a counterweight, restoring relative stability to yield movements. Global credit markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of major headwinds during the first quarter. Yield curves globally remained steep by historical standards and higher- risk sectors continued to outperform higher-quality assets.
The tax-exempt municipal market enjoyed a powerful rally during the period of low interest rates in 2010; however, when the yield trend reversed, the market was dealt an additional blow as it became evident that the Build America Bond program would expire at year end. In addition, negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments damaged investor confidence and further heightened volatility in the municipal market. Tax-exempt mutual funds experienced heavy outflows, resulting in wider quality spreads and further downward pressure on municipal bond prices. These headwinds began to abate in 2011 and the tax-exempt municipal market staged a mild rebound in the first quarter.
Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

Fund Summary as of March 31, 2011 | | Series C Portfolio |
Investment Objective
Series C Portfolio’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek to maximize total return, consistent with income generation and prudent investment management.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| • | | The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital US Credit Index, for the 12-month period. Because shares of the Fund can be purchased or held only by or on behalf of certain separately managed account clients and represent only a portion of the broader separately managed account, comparisons of the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark will differ from comparisons of the benchmark against the performance of the separately managed accounts. |
What factors influenced performance?
| • | | The Fund’s exposure to investment grade corporate debt with an overweight bias to the financial sector had a positive impact on performance for the period. Despite macroeconomic concerns, investment grade credit rallied during the period, driven by strong earnings and well capitalized balance sheets. |
| • | | The Fund’s modest allocation to US Treasury securities, which are not included in the benchmark index, slightly detracted from performance as investment grade credit rallied during the period. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | | The Fund’s overall positioning did not change significantly over the 12-month period. We tactically increased the Fund’s allocation to US Treasury securities in order to mitigate some credit risk in the portfolio. |
Describe Fund positioning at period end.
| • | | At period end, the Fund was slightly underweight investment grade corporate debt relative to the benchmark with modest out-of-index allocations to high yield and US Treasury and agency securities. The Fund ended the period with a portfolio duration that was neutral to the benchmark. |

Investment Objective

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| • | | The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital MBS Index, for the 12-month period. Because shares of the Fund can be purchased or held only by or on behalf of certain separately managed account clients, comparisons of the Fund’s performance to its benchmark will differ from comparisons of the benchmark against the performance of the separately managed accounts. |
What factors influenced performance?
| • | | The Fund’s exposure outside of the benchmark index in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) was the largest contributor to performance, as the sector continued to benefit from investor demand for yield, a favorable technical profile and improving economic conditions. An underweight in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) early in the period also added to performance, as the sector faced uncertainty relating to prepayments and the supply-and-demand backdrop. Out-of-index exposure to US Treasuries contributed positively to performance during the first half of the period, as the market saw a flight to quality and interest rates rallied across the yield curve. |
| • | | An underweight in agency MBS later in the period detracted from performance, as the sector outperformed on low interest rate volatility and favorable prepayment data. Exposure to US Treasuries also detracted from performance during the latter half of the period, as did duration (interest rate sensitivity) and yield curve management activities. |
| • | | The Fund uses interest rate derivatives, which may include futures contracts, options, swaps and swaptions, mainly for the purpose of managing risks relating to portfolio duration and yield curve positioning. As interest rates rose during the period, the Fund’s futures contracts had a negative impact on Fund returns. |
| • | | The Fund’s cash position resulting from trading activity did not have a material impact on performance during the period. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | | In the beginning of the period, the Fund took profits on positions in US government and government-related debt, which reduced exposures to US Treasuries and agency MBS following strong performance in those sectors. US Treasuries rallied on investors’ flight to quality, while favorable supply-and-demand conditions in the agency mortgage market drove agency MBS performance. |
| • | | During the remainder of the period, we significantly increased exposure to agency MBS, purchasing select lower- and middle-coupon issues, as we believed they were attractively valued. We also reduced exposure to non-government spread sectors, namely CMBS and asset-backed securities (ABS), as we continued to manage risk in the portfolio. |
Describe Fund positioning at period end.
| • | | At period end, the Fund was underweight relative to the benchmark in agency MBS, as we see attractive relative value in non-government spread sectors. Most notably, the Fund held out-of-index exposure to automotive and student loan ABS, as well as high-quality CMBS, where we continue to see value in select issues. While we find valuations within the agency MBS market attractive, we remain cautious given the possibility of rising rates and concurrent sales of agency MBS from the Fed’s balance sheet. The Fund ended the period with a long duration versus the benchmark. |

Investment Objective
Series N Portfolio’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek to maximize total return, consistent with income generation and prudent investment management.
Portfolio Management Commentary
| • | | On March 18, 2011, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved a proposal to close the Fund to new and subsequent investments and to liquidate the Fund. Accordingly, effective 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on April 25, 2011, the Fund no longer accepted orders from new investors or existing shareholders to purchase Fund shares. On April 29, 2011, the net assets of the Fund were liquidated and each investor’s shares were redeemed at net asset value. |
How did the Fund perform?
| • | | For the 12-month period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index. Because shares of the Fund can be purchased or held only by or on behalf of certain separately managed account clients, comparisons of the Fund’s performance to its benchmark will differ from comparisons of the benchmark against the performance of the separately managed accounts. |
What factors influenced performance?
| • | | The Fund benefited from its lower quality bias relative to the benchmark as credit quality spreads tightened significantly over the 12-month period. The Fund’s longer duration posture relative to the benchmark (higher sensitivity to interest rates) had a positive impact on performance earlier in the period, when long-term interest rates were falling. The Fund maintained a high average coupon structure, which generated a high level of income accrual. In addition, the Fund pursued opportunities to purchase attractive issues in the primary market amid a favorable supply-demand landscape, which enhanced performance throughout the period. |
| • | | Cash reserves detracted slightly from performance given the low yields on cash in comparison to longer term investments. Maintaining some degree of cash in reserve may be advantageous because it enables the Fund to capitalize on attractive investment opportunities as they arise. |
| • | | The Fund’s credit holdings in Detroit Waters and Michigan Hospitals for Henry Ford Medical Center detracted from performance as Michigan bonds underperformed the overall municipal market during the period. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | | During the 12-month period, the Fund focused on generating total return by balancing an improving stream of income accrual with a competitive degree of asset appreciation. For most of the period, the Fund was fully invested to maximize income, yet we were highly attentive to trading opportunities, especially as the availability of primary issuance was limited. |
Describe Fund positioning at period end.
| • | | At period end, the Fund was in the process of liquidating its holdings in preparation for its termination on April 29, 2011. |

Investment Objective
Series S Portfolio’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek to maximize total return, consistent with income generation and prudent investment management.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| • | | The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index, for the 12-month period. Because shares of the Fund can be purchased or held only by or on behalf of certain separately managed account clients, comparisons of the Fund’s performance to its benchmark will differ from comparisons of the benchmark against the performance of the separately managed accounts. |
What factors influenced performance?
| • | | The primary contributor to the Fund’s positive performance for the period was sector allocation. The Fund held positions in non-government-related spread sectors that are not included in the benchmark index, including investment grade corporate bonds, ABS, CMBS and residential MBS, all of which generated positive returns on an absolute basis and outperformed government-related sectors. Spread sectors broadly rallied throughout the 12-month period as fixed income investors were willing to increase their risk tolerance levels in exchange for higher yields and the potential for higher returns. |
| • | | Conversely, the Fund’s yield curve positioning, as a part of the overall management of portfolio duration (sensitivity to interest rates), detracted from performance. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | | Throughout the 12-month period, the Fund maintained diversified allocations across both government-owned/government-related debt and non-government spread sectors. Earlier in the period, we increased exposure to riskier names as investor risk tolerance and demand for yield increased. Later in the period, we reduced exposure to industries that are more vulnerable to an economic slowdown, such as hotels and gaming, and purchased corporate bonds of issuers that are poised for an upgrade in credit rating to investment grade across all rating agencies. The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning were tactically traded throughout the period. |
Describe Fund positioning at period end.
| • | | In addition to a core allocation to investment grade credit, the Fund also holds CMBS, ABS, agency MBS and non-agency residential MBS. The Fund ended the period with longer portfolio duration versus its benchmark. |

About Fund Performance
Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Figures shown in each of the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any, at net asset value on the payable date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The performance information also reflects fee waivers and reimbursements that subsidize and reduce the total operating expenses of each Fund. The Funds’ returns would have been lower if there were no such waivers and reimbursements.
Disclosure of Expenses
Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions and (b) operating expenses, including administration fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples on the previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2010 and held through March 31, 2011) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The tables provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund under the headings entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The tables also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.
The expenses shown in the tables are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance their yields and net asset values (“NAVs”). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
The Funds may utilize leverage by entering into reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions. The Series N Portfolio may also leverage its assets through the use of tender option bond (“TOB”) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained through leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Fund’s shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.
Furthermore, the value of the Funds’ portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. Changes in interest rates can influence the Funds’ NAVs positively or negatively in addition to the impact on the Funds performance from leverage.
The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Funds, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will generally cause greater changes in a Fund’s NAV and dividend rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, each Fund’s net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, the Fund’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. Each Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Fund shareholders and may reduce income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial futures contracts, swaps and options, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, credit and/or interest rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative instrument. A Fund’s ability to use a derivative instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Fund to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

| • | | Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

| • | | Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

| • | | 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

| • | | For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. |
These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.
| • | | Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock Bond Allocation Target Shares (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. As of March 31, 2011, the Trust has 5 series, of which BlackRock Bond Allocation Target Shares Series C Portfolio (“Series C”), BlackRock Bond Allocation Target Shares Series M Portfolio (“Series M”) BlackRock Bond Allocation Target Shares Series N Portfolio (“Series N”) and BlackRock Bond Allocation Target Shares Series S Portfolio (“Series S”) (collectively the “Funds” or individually as a “Fund”) are included in these financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Shares of the Funds are offered to separate account clients of the investment advisor or certain of its affiliates. Participants in wrap-fee programs pay a single aggregate fee to the program sponsor for all costs and expenses of the wrap-fee programs including investment advice and portfolio execution.
On March 18, 2011, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved a proposal to close Series N to new investors and liquidate Series N. Effective April 25, 2011, Series N no longer accepted orders from new investors or existing shareholders to purchase Series N shares.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The Funds value their bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that 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. Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Funds’ pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, and trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. TBA commitments are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by pricing services. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day.
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 the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) 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 instruments.
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 in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor seeks to determine the price that each Fund 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 deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: The Funds 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 a Fund has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Funds 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 Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, 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.
Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities: The Funds 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 Ginnie Mae, 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 and targeted amortization classes. 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 principal 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 Funds may not fully recoup their initial investments in IOs.
Capital Trusts: The Funds may invest in 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. Dividends 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. Payments on these securities are treated as interest rather than dividends for federal income tax purposes. These securities generally are rated below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities.
Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Funds’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Schedules of Investments, if any.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds: The Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of US Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
TBA Commitments: The Funds may enter into TBA commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. The Funds generally enter into TBA commitments with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage-backed securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions: The Funds may sell TBA 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 Funds will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. The Funds account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realize gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions may increase the Funds’ portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
turnover rate. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Funds are required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
Treasury Roll Transactions: The Funds may enter into treasury roll transactions. In a treasury roll transaction, the Fund sells a Treasury security to a counterparty with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed upon price and future settlement date. The Fund receives cash from the sale of the Treasury security to use for other investment purposes. For US GAAP purposes, a treasury roll transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing and not as a purchase or sale. The difference between the sale price and repurchase price represents net interest income or net interest expense reflective of an agreed upon rate between the Fund and the counterparty over the term of the borrowing. The Fund will benefit from the transaction if the income earned on the investment purchased with the cash received in the treasury roll transaction exceeds the interest expense incurred by the Fund. If the interest expense exceeds the income earned, the Fund’s net investment income and dividends to shareholders may be adversely impacted. Treasury roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is required to repurchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds sell securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agree to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. 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 Funds 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 Funds are 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 Funds’ use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted while the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Funds’ obligation to repurchase the securities.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs: Series N leverages its assets through the use of TOBs. A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of the funds, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which Series N has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by Series N include the right of Series N (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the short-term floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, including during instances of a rise in short-term interest rates, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to Series N. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of Series N upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in the market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors. During the year ended March 31, 2011, no TOBs that the Fund participated in were terminated without the consent of the Trusts.
The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to Series N, which typically invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Series N’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, therefore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Series N’s Schedule of Investments and the proceeds from the issuance of the short-term floating rate certificates are shown as trust certificates in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by Series N on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense and fees in the Statements of Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At March 31, 2011, there were no underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds 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 a Fund either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, TBA sale commitments, financial futures contracts, swaps and options written), or certain borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements, treasury roll transactions and loan payable), each Fund 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
| | | | | | |
44 | | BLACKROCK BOND ALLOCATION TARGET SHARES | | MARCH 31, 2011 | | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Funds file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series C, Series M and Series S US federal tax returns remains open for each of the two years ended September 30, 2008 and for each of the three periods ended March 31, 2011. The statute of limitations on the Series N US federal tax returns remains open for each of the three periods ended March 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk or interest rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral pledged by/posted to the counterparty. For OTC options purchased, the Funds bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral received on the options should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Funds do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written obligate the Funds to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
The Funds may mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement implemented between a Fund and each of its respective counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows each Fund to offset with each separate counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is generally based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. In addition, the Funds manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Funds’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Funds fail to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Funds to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between a Fund and counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the
| | | | | | |
| | BLACKROCK BOND ALLOCATION TARGET SHARES | | MARCH 31, 2011 | | 45 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.
Options: Series C and Series S purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including interest rate risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. 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 a Fund purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by a Fund 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 a Fund enters into a closing transaction), a Fund 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 premiums received or paid). When a Fund writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that a Fund holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When a Fund 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 or credit default swap agreement (interest rate risk and/or credit risk) at any time before the expiration of the option.
In purchasing and writing options, a Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in a Fund purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.
Swaps: Series C and Series S enter into swap agreements, in which a Fund and a counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount. These periodic payments received or made by a Fund is recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Any upfront fees paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and a Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid. Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements 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 – Series S enters 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). A Fund enters into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of protection). A Fund may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers 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 with respect to the referenced entity (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, a Fund 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 the 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 the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, a Fund 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 the 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 the index. |
| • | | Interest rate swaps – Series C and Series S enter into interest rate swaps to gain or reduce exposure to or manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the |
| | | | | | |
46 | | BLACKROCK BOND ALLOCATION TARGET SHARES | | MARCH 31, 2011 | | |

| fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. |

These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of March 31, 2011 attributable to net paydowns losses, the accounting for swap agreements and amortization methods on fixed income securities and the classification of settlement proceeds were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| * | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains (losses) were attributable primarily to amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/ losses on certain futures and options contracts, the deferral of post-October capital losses for tax purposes, the accounting for swap agreements and the treatment of residual interests in tender option bond trusts. |
As of March 31,2011, Series C, Series M and Series N had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Funds after March 31, 2011 will not be subject to expiration. In addition, these losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years.
7. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
Series M and Series S invested a significant portion of their assets in securities backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that hold mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Please see the Schedules 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.
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

9. Subsequent Events:
Management’s evaluation of the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds’ financial statements was completed through the date the financial statements were issued and the following item was noted:
On April 29, 2011, all of the assets of Series N were liquidated completely, each investor’s shares were redeemed at net asset value on the date of liquidation, and Series N was terminated. In connection with the liquidation, Series N adopted the liquidation basis of accounting, which among other things, required Series N to record assets and liabilities at its net realizable value and to provide estimated costs of liquidating Series N to the extent that they are reasonably determinable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of BlackRock Bond Allocation Target Shares:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Series C Portfolio, Series M Portfolio, Series N Portfolio (in liquidation), and Series S Portfolio [four of the five portfolios constituting the BlackRock Bond Allocation Target Shares (the “Fund”), (collectively, the “Portfolios”)], as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’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 Fund 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 Fund’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 March 31, 2011, 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.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, on March 18, 2011, the Board of Trustees approved a proposal to close Series N Portfolio to new investors and liquidate Series N Portfolio, which was completed on April 29, 2011. As a result, Series N Portfolio changed its basis of accounting from going concern to the liquidation basis.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios constituting the Fund as of March 31, 2011, the results of their operations 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.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
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 Fund 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 operations 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 per project. 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 the Committee Chairman 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 Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant and Investment Adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser) and the Fund Services Providers were:

Entity Name | | Current Fiscal Year End | | | Previous Fiscal Year End | |
Series C Portfolio | | $ | 14,100 | | | $ | 16,981 | |
Series M Portfolio | | $ | 14,100 | | | $ | 16,973 | |
Series N Portfolio | | $ | 26,200 | | | $ | 16,880 | |
Series S Portfolio | | $ | 14,100 | | | $ | 16,898 | |
(h) The 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 The Fund Service Providers 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.
