2 | SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | NOVEMBER 30, 2010 |
|
|
The global economic recovery that began in 2009 has continued this year and has accelerated as the period drew to a close. Although we remain mired in a slow-growth environment, recent economic data releases have been generally positive and the global economy as a whole appears to be on firmer footing. In the United States, the corporate sector has been an important area of strength and consumer spending has held up reasonably well; however weakness in the housing and labor markets continues to be a drag on the overall economy. Deflationary pressures and deleveraging risks continue to threaten the momentum of economic growth, but the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) has responded by implementing an additional program of quantitative easing (known informally as “QE2”) with the primary purpose of combating these forces.
The high levels of volatility experienced in global equity markets throughout 2009 continued into 2010 as mixed economic data and lingering credit issues caused stocks to trade in both directions, but by the end of the first quarter, most markets had managed to post gains. The second quarter brought higher levels of volatility and a “flight to quality” as investor sentiment was dominated by fears of a double-dip recession. Global equity markets saw negative quarterly returns — and for many markets, the first significant downturn since the bull market began in March 2009. In the third quarter, improving economic data and strong corporate earnings reports fueled a rebound in equity markets. Stocks continued their rally into the fourth quarter and, despite a modest correction through November, closed out the period in positive territory. Although international equities posted only modest gains for the 12-month period, returns were strong for the second half. In the United States, equities posted robust gains on both a six- and 12-month basis.
In fixed income markets, yields declined significantly over most of the past year as weak economic data, lingering credit problems and the anticipation of additional quantitative easing drove interest rates lower and bond prices higher. Near the end of the period, Treasury yields began climbing amid improved economic data and, although fixed income markets lost some ground, overall performance was strong for the year.
The strong performance seen in the tax-exempt municipal market since the launch of the Build America Bonds program in early 2009 was met with a reversal at the start of the fourth quarter 2010, when Treasury yields began to rise and municipal supply flooded the market as issuers anticipated the expiration of the Build America Bonds program. Despite market weakness near the end of the annual period, tax-exempt municipal bonds delivered positive performance for both the six- and 12-month periods. Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.
Against this backdrop, the major market averages posted the following returns:

Portfolio Management Commentary |
|
|
| How did the Fund perform? |
|
|
• | For the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, all of the Fund’s share classes underperformed the primary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index, and the secondary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools California Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the S&P/Investortools California Municipal Bond Index. |
|
|
| What factors influenced performance? |
|
|
• | The strong performance seen in the tax-exempt municipal market since the launch of the Build America Bonds program in early 2009 continued into the start of the six-month reporting period, but was met with a quick reversal in October and November as yields began to rise. The municipal market weakened due to uncertainty as to whether the Build America Bonds program would be extended past its December 31, 2010 expiration and the continued flow of consistently negative reports on state and local budgetary conditions. The Fund underperformed relative to the S&P/Investortools California Municipal Bond Index as its longer duration posture was a detriment when long-term interest rates moved upward near the end of the period. Interest rate financial futures contracts used to hedge volatility risk had a negative impact on performance as interest rates declined over the period. |
|
|
• | The Fund’s fully invested posture contributed positively to performance for the period. In the earlier part of the period, the Fund benefited from its longer duration stance and holdings of lower quality California bonds, as interest rates were declining and credit spreads were tightening during that time. In addition, the Fund benefited from its avoidance of local, generally smaller issuers, where credit concerns are greater and liquidity is less available. These issuers are particularly unattractive in light of the general expectation that as states continue to struggle with budgetary problems, they will push costs down to local authorities. |
|
|
| Describe recent portfolio activity. |
|
|
• | During the six-month period, the Fund’s trading activity was focused on the goal of generating income. Purchases made by the Fund were concentrated among bonds with higher coupon rates. |
|
|
| Describe Fund positioning at period end. |
|
|
• | The Fund was fully invested at period end with a long duration stance relative to the S&P/Investortools California Municipal Bond Index. It is our view that the market will stabilize as seasonal factors take effect in 2011 and that interest rates will eventually fall. The Fund was positioned with maximum exposure (as permitted under the Fund’s prospectus) to tender option bonds in order to increase income. Exposure to lower quality California bonds was minimal as we see less relative value in the sector given the recent tightening of credit spreads. |
|
|
| The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results. |

Fund Summary as of November 30, 2010 | BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund |
|
|
Portfolio Management Commentary | |
|
|
| How did the Fund perform? |
|
|
• | For the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, all of the Fund’s share classes underperformed the primary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index. The Fund’s Institutional, Service, Investor A and Investor A1 Shares outperformed the secondary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools New Jersey Municipal Bond Index, while the Investor B, Investor B1, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares underperformed. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the S&P/Investortools New Jersey Municipal Bond Index. |
|
|
| What factors influenced performance? |
|
|
• | The strong performance seen in the tax-exempt municipal market since the launch of the Build America Bonds program in early 2009 continued into the start of the six-month reporting period, but was met with a quick reversal in October and November as yields began to rise. The municipal market weakened due to uncertainty as to whether the Build America Bonds program would be extended past its December 31, 2010 expiration and the continued flow of consistently negative reports on state and local budgetary conditions. |
|
|
• | In the earlier part of the period, the Fund benefited from its fully invested posture (low cash balance) and longer duration stance as investor demand for tax-exempt municipal bonds and declining interest rates drove prices upward during that time. In addition, the Fund’s exposure to housing and hospital credits had a positive impact as those sectors performed well during the period. |
|
|
• | The Fund’s longer duration posture relative to the S&P/Investortools New Jersey Municipal Bond Index was a detriment when long-term interest rates moved upward near the end of the period. Exposure to shorter maturity, pre-refunded bonds also detracted from performance for the period. |
|
|
| Describe recent portfolio activity. |
|
|
• | There were no structural changes to the portfolio during the six-month period. We purchased securities with the goal of improving the Fund’s income generation or potential for capital appreciation. Although supply of New Jersey tax-exempt securities was limited, we continued to find favorable opportunities in the new-issue market. In addition, we made some opportunistic sales above market valuations and invested the proceeds in Puerto Rico credits. |
|
|
| Describe Fund positioning at period end. |
|
|
• | The Fund ended the period with a long duration bias relative to the S&P/Investortools New Jersey Municipal Bond Index. |

|
|
| How did the Fund perform? | |
|
| |
• | For the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, all of the Fund’s Share classes underperformed the primary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index, and the secondary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the S&P/Investortools Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Index. | |

Interest rate financial futures contracts used to hedge volatility risk had a negative impact on performance as interest rates declined over the period. | |
|
| |
• | The Fund benefited from its tactical sale of municipal bonds during the month of October, which generated a moderate amount of cash reserves and enabled the Fund to take advantage of opportunities in the market to purchase bonds of similar quality with higher yields. | |
|
| |
| Describe recent portfolio activity. | |
|
| |
• | During the six-month period, we maintained the Fund’s coupon income by using available cash to purchase new-issue bonds. In addition, we made some opportunistic sales in order to improve the Fund’s overall coupon structure. We employed leverage to enhance Fund performance while the slope of the yield curve was favorable. | |
|
| |
| Describe Fund positioning at period end. | |
|
| |
• | The Fund was fully invested at period end with a long duration stance relative to the S&P/Investortools Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Index. It is our view that the market will stabilize as seasonal factors take effect in 2011 and that interest rates will eventually fall. | |

Fund Summary as of November 30, 2010 | BlackRock Intermediate Municipal Fund |
|
|
Portfolio Management Commentary | |
|
|
|
| How did the Fund perform? | |
|
| |
• | For the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, all of the Fund’s share classes outperformed the primary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index. With the exception of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, all share classes underperformed the secondary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Intermediate Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the S&P/Investortools Intermediate Municipal Bond Index. | |
|
| |
| What factors influenced performance? | |
|
| |
• | The strong performance seen in the tax-exempt municipal market since the launch of the Build America Bonds program in early 2009 continued into the start of the six-month reporting period, but was met with a quick reversal in October and November as yields began to rise. The municipal market weakened due to uncertainty as to whether the Build America Bonds program would be extended past its December 31, 2010 expiration and the continued flow of consistently negative reports on state and local budgetary conditions. | |
|
| |
• | In the earlier part of the period, the Fund benefited from its fully invested posture (low cash balance) and longer duration stance as investor demand for tax-exempt municipal bonds and declining interest rates drove prices upward during that time. Further boosting returns was the Fund’s concentration in five- to ten-year maturities, which were particularly strong points on the yield curve. In addition, the Fund’s exposure to housing and hospital credits had a positive impact as those sectors performed well during the period. | |
|
| |
• | The Fund’s longer duration posture relative to the S&P/Investortools Intermediate Municipal Bond Index was a detriment when long term interest rates moved upward near the end of the period. Exposure to tobacco credits and shorter maturity, pre-refunded bonds also detracted from performance for the period. | |
|
| |
| Describe recent portfolio activity. | |
|
| |
• | The Fund was a net buyer during the six-month period due to a net inflow of shareholder subscriptions. Trading activity was focused on buying new-issue, specialty state bonds with average credit quality and low dollar prices. These purchases were concentrated in health care and in economically sensitive, corporate-backed credits with above-average yields, where we believe credit spreads are likely to narrow. The attributes of the newly purchased bonds improved the liquidity of the Fund’s holdings by making them more attractive to retail investors in the secondary market, where demand has been growing stronger. The newly purchased bonds generally outperformed the market, as their immediate supply contracted and discount coupons became more desirable to investors. | |
|
| |
| Describe Fund positioning at period end. | |
|
| |
• | The Fund ended the period with a neutral to slightly long duration bias relative to the S&P/Investortools Intermediate Municipal Bond 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 each of the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value on the payable date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original costs. 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. The Funds’ investment advisor agreed to waive a portion of their fee. Without such waiver, the Funds’ performance would have been lower. |

Shareholders of each Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions, including sales charges, redemption fees and exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses, including advisory fees, distribution fees including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on June 1, 2010 and held through November 30, 2010) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The tables below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The tables also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.
The expenses shown in the tables are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.

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

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

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

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

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

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock California Municipal Bond Fund of BlackRock California Municipal Series Trust, BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund and BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, each a series of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust, and BlackRock Intermediate Municipal Fund, which is presently the only series of BlackRock Municipal Series Trust (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”), are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). BlackRock California Municipal Bond Fund and BlackRock Intermediate Municipal Fund are registered as diversified, open-end management investment companies. BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund and BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund are registered as non-diversified, open-end management investment companies. BlackRock California Municipal Series Trust, BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust and BlackRock Municipal Series Trust are organized as Massachusetts business trusts. 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 and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Service Shares are sold without a sales charge. Investor A Shares are generally sold with a front-end sales charge. Shares of Investor B, Investor B1, Investor C and Investor C1 may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. 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 C and Investor C1 Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares, and Investor B, Investor B1, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Investor B Shares automatically convert to Investor A1 Shares after approximately ten years for BlackRock California Municipal Bond Fund and BlackRock Intermediate Municipal Fund. Investor B Shares automatically convert to Investor A Shares after approximately seven years for BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund and BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund. Investor B1 Shares automatically convert to Investor A1 Shares after approximately ten years for BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund and BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund. Investor A1, Investor B, Investor B1 and Investor C1 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 and Investor B1 shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A and Investor A1 distribution plans).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: The Funds’ fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). 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. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. 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.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counter-party, the Funds’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown on the Schedules of Investments, if any.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Funds leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of the funds, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Fund has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right of a Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the short-term floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, including during instances of a rise in short-term interest rates, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to a Fund. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of a Fund upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal

bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors. During the six months ended November 30, 2010, no TOBs have been terminated without the consent of the Funds.
The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund, which typically invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, therefore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments and the proceeds from the issuance of the short-term floating rate certificates are shown as trust certificates in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds are recorded by the Funds on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense and fees in the Statements of Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At November 30, 2010, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for trust certificates were as follows:

|
Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Funds’ net investment income and dividends to shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Funds’ net asset values per share.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Funds either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Funds will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on their books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. 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 date. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is each 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 statutes of limitations on the Funds’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that 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. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets. The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.
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. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is minimal because the protection against defaults by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

6. Borrowings:
The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, was a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2010. The Funds may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective November 2009, the credit agreement had the following terms: 0.02% upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount which was allocated to the Funds based on their net assets as of October 31, 2009, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum based on the Funds’ 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 1.25% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which were allocated to the Funds based on their net assets as of October 31, 2009. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement was renewed until November 2011 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Funds’ 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 and (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Funds paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Funds based on their net assets as of October 31, 2010. The Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended November 30, 2010.
7. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
Each Fund, except BlackRock Intermediate Municipal Fund, invests a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific states.
Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with coun-terparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
As of November 30, 2010, BlackRock California Municipal Bond Fund invested a significant portion of its assets in the County/City/Special District/School District and Utilities sectors. BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund invested a significant portion of its assets in the State sector. BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund invested a significant portion of its assets in the Health sector. BlackRock Intermediate Municipal Fund invested a significant portion of its assets in the County/City/Special District/School District sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the County/City/Special District/School District, Utilities, State and Health sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
