Notes to Financial Statements | CMA Money Fund |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
CMA Money Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its assets in Master Money LLC (the “Master LLC”), which has the same investment objective and strategies as the Fund. The Master LLC is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Master LLC reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master LLC. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master LLC. The financial statements of the Master LLC, including the Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. The Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Board of Directors of the Master LLC are referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board.” The Fund’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 percentage of the Master LLC owned by the Fund at March 31, 2009 was 65.0%.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
Valuation of investments: The Fund records its investment in the Master LLC at fair value. Valuation of securities held by the Master LLC is discussed in Note 1 of the Master LLC’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. The Fund seeks to maintain the net asset value per share at $1.00, although there is no assurance that it will be able to do so on a continuing basis.
Effective April 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of 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 securities |
| |
• | 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 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 circumstance, 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 methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Investment Transactions and Net Investment Income: Investment transactions in the Master LLC are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Master LLC’s income, expenses and realized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own income and expenses.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared and reinvested daily and paid monthly. Distributions of realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.
Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended March 31, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”), was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Other: Expenses directly related to the 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.
2. Transactions with Affiliates:
The Fund has entered into an Administration Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide administrative services (other than investment advice and related portfolio activities). For such services, the Fund pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. 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 Fund 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.
Effective October 1, 2008, the Fund entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BIL”), which replaced Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S) (collectively, the “Distributor”) as the sole distributor of the Fund. MLPF&S is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch. BIL is an affiliate of BlackRock. The distribution fees did not change as a result of the transaction.
Pursuant to the Plan adopted by the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Distributor a distribution fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.125% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Financial Data Services, Inc. (“FDS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, serves as transfer agent. The Fund may earn interest on positive cash balances in demand deposit accounts that are maintained by FDS on behalf of the Fund. This amount is shown as income — affiliated on the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers and/or directors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses the Administrator for compensation paid to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer.
3. Capital Share Transactions:
The number of shares sold, reinvested and redeemed during the past two years corresponds to the amounts included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for net proceeds from sale of shares, value of shares reinvested and cost of shares redeemed, respectively, since shares are recorded at $1.00 per share.
4. Federal Insurance:
The Fund participates in the US Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”). As a result of the Fund’s participation in the Program, in the event the Fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995 per share, shareholders in the Fund will have federal insurance of $1.00 per share up to the lesser of shareholders’ balances in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008, or the remaining balances of such shareholder accounts as of the date the guarantee is triggered. Any increase in the number of shares in a shareholder’s balance after the close of business on September 19, 2008 and any future investments after a shareholder has closed their account will not be guaranteed. As a participant of the Program, which expires September 18, 2009, the Fund paid a participation fee of 0.01% for the period September 19, 2008 through December 18, 2008 and 0.03% for the period December 19, 2008 through September 18, 2009 of the Fund’s shares outstanding value as of September 19, 2008. The participation fee for the period September 19, 2008 to March 31, 2009 is included in federal insurance on the Statement of Operations.
5. Income Tax Information:
Reclassification: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. The following permanent differences as of March 31, 2009 attributable to reclassification of distributions were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | |
|
|
|
|
|
Undistributed net investment income | | $ | 1,552,880 | |
Accumulated net realized gain allocated from the Master LLC | | $ | (1,552,880 | ) |
|
|
|
|
|
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | | |
|
|
|

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | CMA Money Fund |
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of CMA Money Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of CMA Money Fund (the “Fund”) as of March 31, 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 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. 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 CMA Money Fund as of March 31, 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.

• | Effective April 1,2008,the Master LLC adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of 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 securities |
| | |
| • | 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 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 circumstance, 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. |
| | |
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in determining the fair valuation of the Master LLC’s investments: |

Notes to Financial Statements | Master Money LLC |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master Money LLC (the “Master LLC”) is registered 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 Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Board of Directors of the Master LLC are referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board.” The Master LLC’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 LLC:
Valuation of Investments: The Master LLC securities are valued under the amortized cost method which approximates current market value in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Under this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter, a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until the maturity of the security.
Repurchase Agreements: The Master LLC may invest in US government and agency securities pursuant to repurchase agreements. Under such agreements, the counterparty agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement at no less than the repurchase price. The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a segregated account by the Master LLC’s custodian. In the event the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, the Master LLC could experience losses, delays and costs in liquidating the collateral.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The Master LLC amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securities.
Income Taxes: The Master LLC is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master LLC is treated as owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized gains and losses of the Master LLC. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Master LLC’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master LLC can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Master LLC 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 LLC’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended March 31, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Master LLC’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”) was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Master LLC financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Master LLC are charged to that Master LLC. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates:
The Master LLC entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and administration services. 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 Fund 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 Advisor is responsible for the management of the Master LLC’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities and equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Master LLC. For such services, the Master LLC pays the Advisor a monthly fee based upon the average daily value of the Master LLC’s net assets at the following annual rates: 0.25% of the Master LLC’s average daily net assets not exceeding $500 million; 0.175% of the average daily net assets in excess of $500 million, but not exceeding $1 billion; and 0.125% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | Master Money LLC |
The Advisor has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Institutional Management Corporation (“BIMC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, under which the Advisor pays BIMC for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Master LLC to the Advisor.
For the year ended March 31, 2009, the Master LLC reimbursed the Advisor $383,517 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balance, which are on the Statement of Operations as fees paid indirectly.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. The Master LLC reimburses the Advisor for compensation paid to the Master LLC’s Chief Compliance Officer.
3. Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Master LLC 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 LLC may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Master LLC; 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 LLC may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Master LLC has unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Master LLC to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Master LLC’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in the Master LLC’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | Master Money LLC |
To the Investors and Board of Directors of Master Money LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Master Money LLC (the “Master LLC”) as of March 31, 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 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 securities owned as of March 31, 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 Money LLC as of March 31, 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.

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments |
|
The Fund/Master LLC files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s/Master LLC’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330. The Fund’s/Master LLC’s Forms N-Q may also be obtained upon request and without charge by calling (800) 441-7762.
Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available on the Fund’s website or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly statements, annual and semi-annual reports and prospectuses by enrolling in the Fund’s electronic delivery program.
Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks or Brokerages:
Please contact your financial advisor to enroll. Please note that not all investment advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.
The Fund will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and it is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Fund at (800) 441-7762.

(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: |
| Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
| | | |
| CMA Money Fund | $414,333 | $411,849 |
| Master Money 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 11 – | Controls and Procedures |
