2 | BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. | SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 |
|
|
Late in the summer of 2011, financial markets were upended by sovereign debt turmoil in the United States and Europe as well as growing concerns about the future of the global economy. Investor confidence had crumbled. However, the fourth quarter of 2011 brought improving economic data and more concerted efforts among European leaders toward stemming the region’s debt crisis, gradually drawing investors back to the markets. Improving sentiment carried over into early 2012 as investors felt some relief from the world’s financial woes. Volatility abated and risk assets (including stocks, commodities and high yield bonds) moved boldly higher through the first two months of 2012, while climbing Treasury yields pressured higher-quality fixed income assets.
Markets reversed course in the spring when Europe’s debt problems boiled over once again. High levels of volatility returned as political instability in Greece threatened the country’s membership in the eurozone. Spain faced severe deficit issues while the nation’s banks clamored for liquidity. Yields on Spanish and Italian government debt rose to levels deemed unsustainable. European leaders conferred and debated vehemently over the need for fiscal integration among the 17 nations comprising the euro currency bloc as a means to resolve the crisis for the long term.
Alongside the drama in Europe, investors were discouraged by gloomy economic reports from various parts of the world. A slowdown in China, a key powerhouse for global growth, became particularly worrisome. In the United States, disappointing jobs reports dealt a crushing blow to investor sentiment. Risk assets sold off in the second quarter as investors again retreated to safe haven assets.
Despite ongoing concerns about the health of the global economy and the debt crisis in Europe, most asset classes enjoyed a robust summer rally powered mainly by expectations for policy stimulus from central banks in Europe and the United States. Although global economic data continued to be mixed, the spate of downside surprises seen in the second quarter had receded and, outside of Europe, the risk of recession largely subsided. Additionally, in response to growing debt pressures, the European Central Bank allayed investors’ fears by stating its conviction to hold the eurozone together. Early in September, the European Central Bank announced a plan to purchase sovereign debt in the eurozone’s most troubled nations. Later that month, the US Federal Reserve announced its long-awaited — and surprisingly aggressive — stimulus program, committing to purchase $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities per month until the US economy exhibits enough strength to sustain real growth and improving labor market conditions. These central bank actions boosted risk assets globally as investors increased their risk appetites in their search for higher returns.
All asset classes performed well for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2012, with particularly strong returns from US stocks and high yield bonds. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2012, fixed income investments outperformed equities. US Treasury bonds posted exceptional gains by historical standards and outperformed investment-grade corporate bonds and tax-exempt municipals. High yield bonds also generated solid returns. US stocks finished the six-month period with modest gains, while international and emerging market stocks lagged other asset classes amid ongoing uncertainty. Near-zero short term interest rates continued to keep yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.
The financial world is more uncertain than ever, but there are new avenues of opportunity — new ways to invest and new markets in which to invest. We believe it’s our responsibility to help investors adapt to today’s new world of investing and build the portfolios these times require. We encourage you to visit www.blackrock.com/newworld for more information.

Investment Objective | |
|
|
BlackRock Total Return Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to realize a total return that exceeds that of the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index. | |

Portfolio Management Commentary |
How did the Fund perform?
|
|
• | The Fund, through its investment in Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2012. |
|
|
What factors influenced performance? | |
|
|
• | The Fund’s outperformance versus its benchmark index was attributable to the Master Portfolio’s diversified exposure to high-quality spread sectors, which performed well despite heightened investor anxiety during the period. Whereas the first half of the reporting period was dominated by concerns about debt problems in Europe, the latter half was dominated by uncertainty around monetary policy in both the United States and Europe. In September, accommodative policy actions from the US and European central banks alleviated anxiety and increased investors’ risk appetite, despite lackluster fundamental economic data in the United States and the continuation of severe debt problems in Europe. |
|
|
• | The Fund benefited mostly from the Master Portfolio’s exposure to securitized assets, including an overweight relative to the benchmark index in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and an allocation to non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), which are not represented in the benchmark index. Within CMBS, the Master Portfolio favored recently issued higher-quality multi-family securities, which performed well as the underlying fundamentals continued to improve in a strong rental market. Also contributing positively to performance was the Master Portfolio’s out-of-index exposure to high yield debt, an overweight to investment grade credit and security selection within industrials. Additional positive return contributions came from active trading in agency MBS and tactical exposures to sovereign debt and credit names in Europe. |
|
|
• | Slightly detracting from performance were currency hedges designed to provide the Master Portfolio with downside protection against a global economic slowdown and volatility resulting from European debt concerns. |
|
|
| Describe recent portfolio activity. |
|
|
• | Throughout the 12-month period, the Master Portfolio actively managed duration while maintaining a slightly short duration bias. Near the end of the period, the Master Portfolio reduced its yield curve-flattening bias, finishing the period with a neutral curve stance versus the benchmark index. |
|
|
• | The Master Portfolio tactically managed its corporate credit exposure throughout the period, cautiously seeking to take advantage of relative value opportunities in industrials and financials. However, following good performance in corporate credit early in 2012, the Master Portfolio began reducing exposure to the sector toward period end while adding to its securitized credit allocation. The Master Portfolio also added a small position in Italian sovereign debt. |
|
|
• | The Master Portfolio added exposure to CMBS, which continues to benefit from improving commercial real estate markets. Given a relative lack of liquidity in certain segments of the securitized market, the Master Portfolio refrained from adding to its non-agency MBS holdings and instead added exposure to the more liquid sectors such as auto loan asset-backed securities (“ABS”). The Master Portfolio reduced its agency MBS allocation while shifting its positioning within the space toward lower-coupon and call-protected issues in light of increased refinancing activity in the mortgage market. |
|
|
| Describe portfolio positioning at period end. |
|
|
• | As of period end, the Master Portfolio maintained a slightly more cautious stance given the likelihood of financial market volatility increasing from the recent historically low levels. Headwinds for the remainder of 2012 include uncertainty around US political elections and the “fiscal cliff” (i.e., the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts and other provisions coupled with automatic spending cuts at the turn of the year) as well as uncertainty around bailouts for the eurozone’s most debt-laden countries; however, the US economy appears well supported by monetary policy and resilient enough to grow at a modest pace. |
|
|
• | Relative to the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, the Master Portfolio remained generally underweight to government-related sectors in favor of non-government spread sectors. Among spread sectors, the Master Portfolio held overweight allocations to investment grade credit, CMBS and ABS and out-of-index exposures to high yield corporate credit and non-agency MBS. Within the government space, the Master Portfolio maintained an underweight in US Treasuries and agency debentures, while holding an overweight in agency MBS. The Master Portfolio ended the period with a slightly short duration versus the benchmark index. |

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end. 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 the performance table on the previous page assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) 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 Fund’s investment advisor, BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), waived and/or reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the Fund’s performance would have been lower. The Manager is under no obligation to waive or reimburse or to continue waiving or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date. See Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and reimbursements. Dividends paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.

Shareholders of the Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions, including sales charges and exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses, including advisory fees, service and distribution fees, including 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses and other Fund expenses. The expense example shown below (which is based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on April 1, 2012 and held through September 30, 2012) is intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in the Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The expense example provides 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 share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense example also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 the Fund 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 expense example are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges or exchange fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical example is 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.

| 1 | For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period shown). Because the Fund invests significantly in the Master Portfolio, the expense example reflects the net expenses of both the Fund and the Master Portfolio in which it invests. |

The Master Portfolio may utilize leverage to seek to enhance its yield. However, this objective cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
The Master Portfolio may utilize leverage by borrowing through entering into reverse repurchase agreements and/or treasury roll transactions. 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 the Master Portfolio on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of the Master Portfolio (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Master Portfolio’s investors will benefit from the incremental net income.
The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the net assets. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. If the yield curve becomes negatively sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates, income to shareholders will be lower than if the Master Portfolio had not used leverage.
If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Master Portfolio pays higher short-term interest rates whereas the Master Portfolio’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.
Furthermore, the value of the Master Portfolio’s investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Master Portfolio’s net assets positively or negatively in addition to the impact on the Master Portfolio’s performance from leverage discussed above.
The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Master Portfolio, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Master Portfolio’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 Master Portfolio’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used. The Master Portfolio 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 the Master Portfolio to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit the Master Portfolio’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. The Master Portfolio will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Master Portfolio investors and may reduce income.
|
|
The Master Portfolio may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options and swaps, as specified in Note 2 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Master Portfolio’s ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Master Portfolio to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Master Portfolio can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause the Master Portfolio to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Master Portfolio’s investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

BlackRock Total Return Fund |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock Total Return Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its assets in Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) of Master Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”), an affiliate of the Fund, 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 Portfolio reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolio. The percentage of the Master Portfolio owned by the Fund at September 30, 2012 was 86.3%. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Portfolio. The consolidated financial statements of the Master Portfolio, including the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s 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 of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. BlackRock and Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Service Shares are sold without a sales charge. Investor A and Investor A1 Shares are generally sold with a front-end sales charge. Investor B, Investor B1, Investor B2, Investor C, Investor C1 and Investor C2 Shares may be subject to a CDSC. In addition, Investor A1, Investor B, Investor B2, Investor C and Investor C2 Shares are sold only to certain eligible investors. Class R Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain retirement and other similar plans. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Service, Investor A, Investor A1, Investor B, Investor B1, Investor B2, Investor C, Investor C1, Investor C2 and Class R Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares, and Investor B, Investor B1, Investor B2, Investor C, Investor C1, Investor C2 and Class R Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Investor B Shares and Investor B1 automatically convert to Investor A Shares and Investor A1 Shares, respectively, after approximately ten years. Investor A1, B, B1, B2, C1 and C2 Shares are only available through exchanges, dividend reinvestment by existing shareholders or for purchase by certain qualified employee benefit plans. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B, Investor B1 and Investor B2 shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A distribution and service plan).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fund’s policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value. The Fund records its investment in the Master Portfolio at fair value based on the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolio. Valuation of securities held by the Master Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, contributions to and withdrawals from the Master Portfolio are accounted on a trade date basis. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are adjusted for utilizing partnership tax allocation rules. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
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 portion of distributions that exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of the Fund’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Capital losses carried forward from years beginning before 2011 do not reduce earnings and profits, even if such carried forward losses offset current year realized gains. The character 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 Fund’s 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 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 September 30, 2012. The statutes of limitations on the 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 the Fund or its classes are charged to the Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Fund and other shared expenses pro rated to the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Fund has 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 Statement 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. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).

The Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, in order to limit expenses.

In addition to the contractual waivers described above, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit expenses (excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other Fund expenses) as a percentage of average daily net assets allocated to each class of the Fund as follows: 0.76% (for Service Shares), 1.53% (for Investor B2 Shares), 1.45% (for Investor C Shares) and 1.08% (for Class R Shares).

3. Income Tax Information:
US GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of September 30, 2012 attributable to foreign currency transactions, distributions in excess of taxable income, the accounting for swap agreements, and the classification of investments were reclassified to the following accounts:
|
|
|
|
|
Paid-in capital |
| $ | (16,585,115 | ) |
Distributions in excess of net investment income |
| $ | 18,711,551 |
|
Accumulated net realized loss |
| $ | (2,126,436 | ) |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 9/30/12 |
| 9/30/11 |
| ||
Ordinary income |
| $ | 109,045,915 |
| $ | 130,446,454 |
|
As of September 30, 2012, the tax components of accumulated net earnings were as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Capital loss carryforward |
| $ | (78,419,319 | ) |
Net unrealized gains1 |
|
| 92,316,596 |
|
Total |
| $ | 13,897,277 |
|
|
|
|
| 1 | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains was attributable primarily to the timing and recognition of partnership income. |
As of September 30, 2012, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward available to offset future realized capital gains of $78,419,319, all of which is due to expire September 30, 2018.

BlackRock Total Return Fund |
To the Shareholders of BlackRock Total Return Fund and Board of Directors of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BlackRock Total Return Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. as of September 30, 2012, 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 audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 BlackRock Total Return Fund of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. as of September 30, 2012, 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.

• | For Master Portfolio compliance purposes, the Master Portfolio’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Master Portfolio management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such 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 to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: | |
|
|
|
| • | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Master Portfolio has the ability to access |
|
|
|
| • | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
| • | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Master Portfolio’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
|
|
|
| The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. | |
|
| |
| Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Master Portfolio’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Master Portfolio’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. | |

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended September 30, 2012.
Certain of the Master Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 3 and were valued utilizing transaction prices or third party pricing information without adjustment. Such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in the unobservable inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher value in such Level 3 investments.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments and derivative financial instruments is presented when the Master Portfolio had a significant amount of Level 3 investments and derivative financial instruments at the beginning and/or end of the year in relation to net assets. The following table is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value:

Master Total Return Portfolio |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) is a series of Master Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”) and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Master LLC is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue nontransferable interests in the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Master Portfolio’s consolidated 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 of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Master Portfolio:
Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Master Total Return Portfolio I, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Master Portfolio, which primarily invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary enables the Master Portfolio to hold these commodity-related instruments while allowing its investors to still satisfy Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) tax requirements. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. During the year ended September 30, 2012, there were no transactions in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to the Master Portfolio.
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Master Portfolio would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Master Portfolio fair values its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Master Portfolio for all financial instruments.
The Master Portfolio values its bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. 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. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. To-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by pricing services. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Master Portfolio’s pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
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. 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 and information with respect to various relationships between investments.
Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
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 that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, 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 Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that the Master Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) | Master Total Return Portfolio |
available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement which include the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, as appropriate. A market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Master Portfolio’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Master Portfolio’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to affect the value of such instruments materially, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board.
Foreign Currency: The Master Portfolio’s books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Master Portfolio’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.
The Master Portfolio does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Master Portfolio reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets, or as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, and are generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security subject to such a prepayment feature will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. If the Master Portfolio has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.
The Master Portfolio may purchase certain mortgage pass-through securities. There are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the US government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by 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 but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds: The Master Portfolio 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. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. 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.
Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These multiple class securities may be issued by 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 Master Portfolio may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: The Master Portfolio may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the US government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest (IOs) and principal (POs) distributions on a pool of Mortgage Assets. The Master Portfolio also may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities that are privately issued.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Master Portfolio may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.
Capital Trusts: The Master Portfolio 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.
Preferred Stock: The Master Portfolio may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Floating Rate Loan Interests: The Master Portfolio may invest in floating rate loan interests. The floating rate loan interests the Master Portfolio holds are typically issued to companies (the “borrower”) by banks, other financial institutions, and privately and publicly offered corporations (the “lender”). Floating rate loan interests are generally non-investment grade, often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Master Portfolio may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Floating rate loan interests may include fully funded term loans or revolving lines of credit. Floating rate loan interests are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. Floating rate loan interests generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally the lending rate offered by one or more European banks, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the prime rate offered by one or more US banks or the certificate of deposit rate. Floating rate loan interests may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. The Master Portfolio considers these investments to be investments in debt securities for purposes of its investment policies.
When the Master Portfolio purchases a floating rate loan interest it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan interest it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, the Master Portfolio may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit amount of a floating rate loan interest. Facility and commitment fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan or term of the commitment, respectively. Consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned. Prepayment penalty fees, which may be received by the Master Portfolio upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. The Master Portfolio may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.
Floating rate loan interests are usually freely callable at the borrower’s option. The Master Portfolio may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) or assignments (“Assignments”) of all or a portion of loans from third parties. Participations typically will result in the Master Portfolio having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Master Portfolio will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Master Portfolio generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of offset against the

borrower, and the Master Portfolio may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Master Portfolio will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. The Master Portfolio’s investment in loan participation interests involves the risk of insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the Participation, the Master Portfolio may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower. Assignments typically result in the Master Portfolio having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Master Portfolio may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
Borrowed Bond Agreements: The Master Portfolio may enter into borrowed bond agreements. In a borrowed bond agreement, the Master Portfolio borrows a bond from a counterparty in exchange for cash collateral with the commitment that the security and the cash will be returned to the counterparty and the Master Portfolio, respectively, at a mutually agreed upon rate and date. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Borrowed bond agreements are entered into primarily in connection with short sales of bonds. Earnings on cash collateral and compensation to the lender of the bond are based on agreed upon rates between the Master Portfolio and the counterparty. The value of the underlying cash collateral approximates the market value and accrued interest of the borrowed bond. To the extent that a borrowed bond transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the cash collateral in the possession of the counterparty is monitored on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. As the market value of the borrowed bond changes, the cash collateral is periodically increased or decreased with a frequency and in amounts prescribed in the borrowed bond agreement. Full realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be limited if the value of an investment purchased with the cash collateral by the lender decreases. The Master Portfolio may also experience delays in gaining access to the collateral.
Short Sales: The Master Portfolio may enter into short sale transactions in which the Master Portfolio sells a security it does not hold in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When the Master Portfolio makes a short sale, it will borrow the security sold short (borrowed bond) and deliver it to the counterparty to which it sold the security short. An amount equal to the proceeds received by the Master Portfolio is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Master Portfolio is required to repay the counterparty any interest received on the security sold short, which is shown as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Master Portfolio may pay a fee on the assets borrowed from the counterparty, which is shown as stock loan fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Master Portfolio maintains a segregated account of securities or deposits cash with the broker-dealer as collateral for the short sales. The Master Portfolio may receive interest on its cash collateral deposited with the broker-dealer. The Master Portfolio is exposed to market risk based on the amount, if any, that the market value of the security increases beyond the market value at which the position was sold. Thus, a short sale of a security involves the risk that instead of declining, the price of the security sold short will rise. The short sale of securities involves the possibility of a theoretically unlimited loss since there is a theoretically unlimited potential for the market price of the security sold short to increase. A gain, limited to the price at which the Master Portfolio sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to the dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is greater or less than the proceeds originally received. There is no assurance the Master Portfolio will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.
Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Master Portfolio 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 Master Portfolio 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 Master Portfolio may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Master Portfolio is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Master Portfolio assumes 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 Master Portfolio’s maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
TBA Commitments: The Master Portfolio 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 Master Portfolio generally enters 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 Master Portfolio 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 Master Portfolio will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. The Master Portfolio accounts for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions may increase the Master Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Master Portfolio is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
Treasury Roll Transactions: The Master Portfolio may enter into treasury roll transactions. In a treasury roll transaction, the Master Portfolio 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 Master Portfolio receives cash from the sale of the Treasury security to use for other investment purposes. 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 Master Portfolio and the counterparty over the term of the borrowing. For US GAAP purposes, a treasury roll transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing and not as a purchase or sale. During the term of the borrowing, interest income from the Treasury security and the related interest expense on the secured borrowing is recorded by the Master Portfolio on an accrual basis. The Master Portfolio 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 Master Portfolio. If the interest expense exceeds the income earned, the Master Portfolio’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 Master Portfolio is required to repurchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements: The Master Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Master Portfolio sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities at face value including accrued interest. Due to the short term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. During the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, the Master Portfolio continues to receive the principal and interest payments on these securities. 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 Master Portfolio may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Master Portfolio is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Master Portfolio’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted while the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Master Portfolio’s obligation to repurchase the securities.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Master Portfolio either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, TBA sale commitments, financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, short sales and options written), or certain borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions), the Master Portfolio will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, a Master Portfolio engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an exchange or broker-dealer 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. Consent fees are compensation for agreeing to changes in the terms of debt instruments and are included in interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Income Taxes: The Master Portfolio is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master Portfolio LLC is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master LLC. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Master Portfolio 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 of 1986, as amended.
The Master Portfolio files US federal and various state and local tax returns. In May 2011, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of Master Total Return’s US federal tax return for the year ended September 30, 2009. The examination was completed in February 2012 and did not result in any adjustments to the tax return. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Master Portfolio’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended September 30, 2012. The statutes of limitations on the Master Portfolio’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standard: In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Master Portfolio’s financial statement disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Master Portfolio are charged to the Master Portfolio. 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 Master Portfolio has 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 Consolidated Statement 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 Master Portfolio engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Master Portfolio and/or to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or other risk (commodity price risk and inflation 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 Master Portfolio’s 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 Master Portfolio bears 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 Master Portfolio do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written obligate the Master Portfolio to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options and centrally cleared swaps is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
The Master Portfolio may mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) implemented between the Master Portfolio and each of its respective counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement allows the Master Portfolio 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 Master Portfolio from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. In addition, the Master Portfolio manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes 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 Master Portfolio’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Master Portfolio fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Master Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Master Portfolio purchases or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Master Portfolio 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, financial 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 the settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Master Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Master Portfolio as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Master Portfolio enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Master Portfolio, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Master Portfolio are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Master Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Master Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that the counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.
Options: The Master Portfolio purchases and writes call and put options to increase or decrease its exposure to underlying instruments (including credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk and/or foreign currency exchange rate risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike 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 or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Master Portfolio purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Master Portfolio is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing transaction), the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing

transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Master Portfolio writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Master Portfolio holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Master Portfolio writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.
Options on swaps (swaptions) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement (interest rate risk and/or credit risk) at any time before the expiration of the option.
The Master Portfolio also purchases or sells listed or OTC foreign currency options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). When foreign currency is purchased or sold through an exercise of a foreign currency option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the foreign currency acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the foreign currency sold. Such transactions may be effected with respect to hedges on non-US dollar denominated instruments owned by the Master Portfolio but not yet delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Master Portfolio.
The Master Portfolio may also purchase and write a variety of options with non-standard payout structures or other features (“barrier options”). Barrier options are generally traded OTC. The types of barrier options the Master Portfolio may invest in include down-and-out options, double no-touch options and one-touch options. Down-and-out options are similar to standard options, except that the option expires worthless to the purchaser of the option if the price of the underlying security reaches a specific barrier price level prior to the option’s expiration date. Double no-touch options provide the purchaser of the option an agreed-upon payout if the price of the underlying asset does not reach or surpass predetermined barrier price levels prior to the option’s expiration date. One-touch options provide the purchaser of the option an agreed-upon payout if the price of the underlying asset reaches or surpasses predetermined barrier price levels prior to the option’s expiration date.
In purchasing and writing options, the Master Portfolio bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Master Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Master Portfolio purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.
Swaps: The Master Portfolio enters into swap agreements, in which the Master Portfolio and a counterparty agree to either make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed on a registered financial and commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). In a centrally cleared swap, the Master Portfolio typically enters into an agreement with a counterparty; however, performance is guaranteed by the central clearinghouse reducing or eliminating the Master Portfolio’s exposure to the credit risk of the counterparty. These payments received or made by the Master Portfolio are recorded in the Consolidated Statement 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 are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, on the Consolidated Statement of Asset and 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). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the swap is terminated, the Master Portfolio will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Master Portfolio’s basis in the contract, if any. 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

• | Credit default swaps — The Master Portfolio 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). The Master Portfolio 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). The Master Portfolio 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, the Master Portfolio will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising 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, the Master Portfolio will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising 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. |

• | Total return swaps — The Master Portfolio enters into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in that market or to transfer the risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments based on the total return (coupons plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Master Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. |
|
|
• | Interest rate swaps — The Master Portfolio enters into interest rate swaps to gain or reduce exposure to interest rates or to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Interest rate floors, which are a type of interest rate swap, are agreements in which one party agrees to make payments to the other party to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate or floor in return for a premium. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. |

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Master LLC’s investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Master Portfolio’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Master Portfolio. For such services, the Master Portfolio pays the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
|
|
|
|
|
Average Daily Net Assets |
| Investment | ||
First $250 Million |
|
| 0.20 | % |
$250 Million – $500 Million |
|
| 0.15 | % |
$500 Million – $750 Million |
|
| 0.10 | % |
Greater than $750 Million |
|
| 0.05 | % |
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Master Portfolio pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Master Portfolio’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. This amount is shown as fees waived by Manager in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Manager provides investment management and other services to the Subsidiary. The Manager does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiary for providing investment management or administrative services. However, the Master Portfolio pays the Manager based on the Master Portfolio’s net assets which includes the assets of the Subsidiary.
The Manager entered into sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”) and BlackRock (Singapore) Limited (“BRS”), each an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BFM, BIL and BRS for services they provide, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Master Portfolio to the Manager.
For the year ended September 30, 2012, the Master LLC reimbursed the Manager $19,382 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Master Portfolio reimburses the Manager for compensation paid to the Master LLC’s Chief Compliance Officer.

5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expires in November 2012 and was subsequently renewed until November 2013. The Master Portfolio may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective November 2010 to November 2011, the credit agreement had the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Master Portfolio’s pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Master Portfolio paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Master Portfolio based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. The credit agreement, which expired in November 2011, was renewed until November 2012. Effective November 2011 to November 2012, the credit agreement has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.065% per annum based on the Master Portfolio’s pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Master Portfolio paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Master Portfolio based on its net assets as of October 31, 2011. The Master Portfolio did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended September 30, 2012.
For the year ended September 30, 2012, the average amount of transactions considered as borrowings and the daily weighted average interest rate from reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions were $888,522,503 and 0.17%, respectively.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Master Portfolio invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Master Portfolio may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Master Portfolio; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Master Portfolio may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Master Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Master Portfolio manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Master Portfolio to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Master Portfolio’s exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Master Portfolio.
The Master Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in securities backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that hold mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Please see the Consolidated Schedule of Investments for these securities. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults on assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Master Portfolio through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Master Total Return Portfolio |
To the Investors of Master Total Return Portfolio and Board of Directors of Master Bond LLC:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), of Master Bond LLC, as of September 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the consolidated 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio’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 September 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; where replies were not received from brokers or agent banks, 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 consolidated financial position of Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC as of September 30, 2012, the consolidated results of its operations for the year then ended, the consolidated changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
The Board of Directors of Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), a series of Master Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”), and the Board of Directors of BlackRock Total Return Fund (the “Feeder Fund”), a series of the BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) met on April 10, 2012 and May 8–9, 2012 to consider the approval of the investment advisory agreements (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”) for the Master LLC, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, and the Corporation, on behalf of the Feeder Fund, with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Master Portfolio’s and the Feeder Fund’s investment advisor. The Board of Directors of each of the Master LLC and the Corporation also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between the Manager and each of (a) BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; and (b) BlackRock International Limited (collectively, the “Sub-Advisors”), with respect to each of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund. The Feeder Fund is a “feeder” fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Master Portfolio. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Corporation also considered the approval of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Master LLC. The Manager and the Sub-Advisors are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.” For simplicity, the Board of Directors of the Master LLC and the Board of Directors of the Corporation are referred to herein collectively as the “Board,” and the members are referred to herein as “Board Members.”
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board consists of thirteen individuals, ten of whom are not “interested persons” of the Master LLC or the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Master Portfolio or the Feeder Fund, as pertinent, and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Board Member. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Performance Oversight Committee and the Executive Committee, each of which also has one interested Board Member).
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. The Board has four quarterly meetings per year, each extending over two days, and a fifth meeting to consider specific information surrounding the consideration of renewing the Agreements. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight, compliance and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers at each of its meetings, and from time to time as appropriate, factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Master Portfolio, the Feeder Fund and their shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance against its peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Master Portfolio and/or the Feeder Fund for services, such as marketing and distribution, call center and fund accounting; (c) the Master Portfolio’s and/or the Feeder Fund’s operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of the Master Portfolio’s and the Feeder Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) the Master Portfolio’s and the Feeder Fund’s compliance with each of their respective Code of Ethics and other compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Master Portfolio’s and/or the Feeder Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, exchange traded fund (“ETF”), closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives it creates; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.
The Board has engaged in an ongoing strategic review with BlackRock of opportunities to consolidate funds and of BlackRock’s commitment to investment performance. In addition, the Board requested, to the extent reasonably possible, an analysis of the risk and return relative to selected funds in peer groups. BlackRock provides information to the Board in response to specific questions. These questions covered issues such as profitability, investment performance and management fee levels. The Board considered the importance of: (i) managing fixed income assets with a view toward preservation of capital; (ii) portfolio managers’ investments in the funds they manage; (iii) BlackRock’s controls surrounding the coding of quantitative investment models; and (iv) BlackRock’s oversight of relationships with third party service providers.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the April 10, 2012 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in a process with its independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review periodically the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on fees and expenses of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, as applicable, and the investment

performance of the Feeder Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) charged to other clients, such as institutional clients, ETFs and closed-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients, as applicable; (d) the existence, impact and sharing of potential economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Master Portfolio and/or the Feeder Fund to BlackRock; (f) sales and redemption data regarding the Feeder Fund’s shares; and (g) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.
At an in-person meeting held on April 10, 2012, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 10, 2012 meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 8–9, 2012 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on May 8–9, 2012, the Board of the Master LLC and the Corporation, including all the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each of the Master LLC, on behalf of the Master Portfolio and the Corporation, on behalf of the Feeder Fund, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Sub-Advisors with respect to each of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2013. The Board of the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, also considered the continuation of the Agreements with respect to the Master LLC and found the Agreements to be satisfactory. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Master Portfolio, the Feeder Fund and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund; (d) economies of scale; (e) fall-out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund; and (f) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Feeder Fund shares and securities lending, services related to the valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of the Master Portfolio, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Feeder Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared the Feeder Fund’s performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds and/or the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team discussing Master Portfolio performance and the Master Portfolio’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance, BlackRock’s credit analysis capabilities, BlackRock’s risk analysis and oversight capabilities and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Master Portfolio’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund with the following administrative services including, among others: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of the Master Portfolio, the Feeder Fund and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, as applicable. The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s investment results correspond directly to the investment results of the Feeder Fund. In preparation for the April 10, 2012 meeting, the Board worked with its independent legal counsel, BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template

for, and was provided with, reports independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the Feeder Fund’s performance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the Feeder Fund as compared to funds in the Feeder Fund’s applicable Lipper category. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds and periodically meets with Lipper representatives to review their methodology. The Board and the Board’s Performance Oversight Committee regularly review, and meet with Master Portfolio management to discuss, the performance of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, as applicable, throughout the year.
The Board noted that the Feeder Fund ranked in the fourth, second and fourth quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three-and five-year periods reported, respectively. The Board and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for the Feeder Fund’s underperformance during the one- and five-year periods compared with its Peers. The Board was informed that, among other things, the Master Portfolio maintained a shorter duration bias and underweight Treasuries relative to its peer universe throughout most of the one-year period. While this duration stance was beneficial in the earlier half of the period, the overall impact on performance for the one-year period was negative as interest rates declined to historically low levels in the latter half due to fears of a global economic slowdown and persistent sovereign debt problems in Europe. For the five-year period the Feeder Fund’s underperformance was primarily due to the significant exposure to non-government debt during the financial crisis in 2008. Most notably the Master Portfolio’s allocation to non-agency mortgages, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities which all dramatically underperformed Treasuries that year.
The Board and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving the Feeder Fund’s/Master Portfolio’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the Master Portfolio’s portfolio managers and to improve the Feeder Fund’s/Master Portfolio’s performance.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the Master Portfolio’s/Feeder Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with the other funds in the Feeder Fund’s Lipper category. It also compared the Feeder Fund’s total expense ratio, as well as the Master Portfolio’s/Feeder Fund’s actual management fee rate, to those of other funds in the Feeder Fund’s Lipper category. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, as applicable, and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising open-end funds, among other product types. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix.
In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
The Board noted that the Master Portfolio’s and/or Feeder Fund’s contractual management fee ratio (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) was lower than or equal to the median contractual management fee ratio paid by the Feeder Fund’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive the Feeder Fund’s advisory fee in the amount of the Feeder Fund’s share of the advisory fee paid by the Master Portfolio. The Board also noted that the Feeder Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee ratio downward as the size of the Feeder Fund increases above certain contractually specified levels. The Board further noted that the Master Portfolio has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee ratio downward as the size of the Master Portfolio increases above certain contractually specified levels. Additionally, the Board noted that BlackRock has contractually and/or voluntarily agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses in order to limit, to a specified amount, the Feeder Fund’s total net expenses on a class-by-class basis, as applicable.

D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund increase, as well as the existence of expense caps. The Board also considered the extent to which the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund benefit from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of revised breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund. In its consideration, the Board Members took into account the existence of expense caps and further considered the continuation and/or implementation, as applicable, of such caps.
E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from their respective relationships with the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, including for administrative, distribution, securities lending and cash management services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Board further noted that it had considered the investment by BlackRock’s funds in ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.
In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
The Board noted the competitive nature of the open-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to redeem their Feeder Fund shares if they believe that the Feeder Fund’s and/or the Master Portfolio’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Feeder Fund.
Conclusion
The Board of each of the Master LLC and the Corporation, including all the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each of the Master LLC, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, and the Corporation, on behalf of the Feeder Fund, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2013, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Sub-Advisors with respect to each of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2013. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board of the Master LLC and the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund, as applicable, and their shareholders. The Board of the Corporation, including the Independent Board Members, also considered the continuation of the Agreements with respect to the Master Portfolio and found the Agreements to be satisfactory. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the Master Portfolio and the Feeder Fund reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

| (e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
|
|
| The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrants on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrants and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrants. 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 registrants which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrants will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrants 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 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 registrants, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were: |
Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End | |
BlackRock Total Return Fund of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. | $17,100 | $14,100 | |
Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC | $16,000 | $13,000 |
| Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,970,000 and $3,030,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser. |
|
|
| (h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the 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. |
