The Markets in Review
Dear Shareholder,
In the 12 months ended May 31, 2019, the U.S. equity and bond markets posted mixed returns while weathering significant volatility. Less volatile U.S. large cap equities and U.S. bonds posted positive returns, while equities at the high end of the risk spectrum — emerging markets, international developed, and U.S. small cap — all declined during the reporting period.
Volatility rose in emerging markets, as the rising U.S. dollar and higher interest rates in the United States disrupted economic growth abroad. U.S.-China trade relations and debt concerns adversely affected the Chinese stock market, while Turkey and Argentina became embroiled in currency crises, largely due to hyperinflation in both countries. An economic slowdown in Europe also led to negative performance for European equities. However, recent economic data indicates that Europe may emerge from its economic soft patch, reinvigorated by a manufacturing rebound and China’s economic stimulus.
In the U.S. equity market, volatility spiked in late 2018, as a wide range of risks were brought to bear on markets, ranging from rising interest rates and slowing global growth to heightened trade tensions and political turmoil in several countries, including the United States. These risks manifested in a broad-based sell-off in December, leading to the worst December performance on record since 1931.
By comparison, fixed-income securities delivered modest positive returns with relatively low volatility. Short-term U.S. Treasury yields rose, while longer-term yields declined. This led to positive returns for U.S. Treasuries and a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds also posted positive returns, as the credit fundamentals in corporate markets remained relatively solid.
As global economic growth slowed, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) shifted to a more patient perspective on the economy in January 2019, which led to a strong rebound in the equity market. In its last four meetings, the Fed left interest rates unchanged and signaled a slower pace of rate hikes in response to the global economic slowdown. Relatively low inflation and modest economic growth give the Fed room to maintain support for the economy until the economic data builds the case for changing interest rates. Signs of slowing economic growth also prompted investors to increase expectations for Fed rate cuts in the latter half of 2019. Similarly, the European Central Bank signaled a continuation of accommodative monetary policy, while China committed to looser credit conditions and an increase in fiscal spending.
We continue to believe the probability of recession in 2019 remains relatively low. In our view, a slowing expansion with room to run is the most likely scenario. However, escalating trade tensions and the resulting disruptions in global supply chains have become the greatest risk to the global expansion.
Despite the crosscurrents, U.S. and emerging market equities remain relatively attractive. Within U.S. equities, we believe that companies with high-quality earnings and strong balance sheets offer the most attractive risk/reward trade-off. For bonds, U.S. Treasuries are likely to help buffer against volatility in risk assets, while income from other types of bonds can continue to offer steady returns.
In this environment, investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes, and be nimble as market conditions change. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visitblackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.
Sincerely,
Rob Kapito

Fund Summary as of May 31, 2019 | | BlackRock California Municipal Opportunities Fund |
Investment Objective
BlackRock California Municipal Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with income exempt from Federal and California income taxes.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the12-month period ended May 31, 2019, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the S&P® California Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the S&P® California Municipal Bond Index.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds produced a healthy gain in the12-month period, largely as a result of the sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields from November onward. Government bonds were boosted by the combination of slowing economic growth and the Fed’s pivot toward a more accommodative monetary policy.Tax-exempt issues gained a further boost from the continued improvement in municipal finances and a favorablesupply-and-demand trends in the market. California municipal debt slightly lagged the national index, primarily due to elevated new issuance and a reversion from the state’s outperformance in 2017 and the first half of 2018.
The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk was the largest detractor to Fund performance, as it prevented the Fund from gaining the full benefit of falling rates.
On the positive side, the Fund benefited from its positions in longer-maturity securities, which outperformed shorter-dated issues. Overweight allocations to the transportation and utilities sectors added value, as did security selection in the tobacco sector. The use of leverage also contributed to results in the rising market.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund aims to deliver a balance of competitive total return andtax-free income using a tactical strategy that is designed to take advantage of credit, yield curve and interest rate trends.
The investment adviser put cash to work in late 2018 and 2019 to take advantage of elevated yields. Cash reserves, which started the period near 5% of net assets, fell below 1% by early 2019 as a result. Later in the period, the Fund sought to capitalize on robust market performance by selling select holdings to lock in profits.
The Fund continued to seek opportunities to manage interest rate risk by actively adjusting its positioning in U.S. Treasury futures. Once rates began to decline in the second half of the period, the investment adviser reduced the size of the position.
The Fund used market volatility to add to the portfolio’s weighting in bonds rated below investment grade. The Fund had a 9% allocation to the category as of May 31, 2019, with the majority held in the tobacco sector and Puerto Rico. The portfolio’s allocation to taxable bonds, which stood at 5.2% of assets at the close of the period, remained relatively steady.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund closed the period with an elevated cash weighting of 8%. The investment adviser made an active decision to reduce duration (interest-rate sensitivity) by selling some positions in longer-term bonds that had performed well in the rally. In addition, the combination of low absolute yields and tight yield spreads indicated that valuations had become less compelling. The investment adviser therefore kept some cash on hand in the event that less favorable market conditions created more attractive values. Strong inflows into the Fund also played a role in the larger cash position. The investment adviser chose to take a cautious approach and await better opportunities to deploy these assets rather than buying securities at rich valuations. The Fund’s higher cash position had no material impact on Fund performance.
The Fund was positioned defensively at the close of the period. In addition to maintaining the above-average cash weighting and using interest-rate risk-management strategies, the Fund held a duration below that of the benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio duration stood at 4.8 years on May 31, 2019 when risk-management strategies were included. The Fund also maintained an above-average credit quality of AA, as elevated valuations for lower-quality securities indicated a higher degree of potential risk.

Fund Summary as of May 31, 2019 | | BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund |
Investment Objective
BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with income exempt from Federal income tax and New Jersey personal income taxes.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the12-month period ended May 31, 2019, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, except for the Fund’s Institutional Shares, which performed in line with the primary benchmark, and Class K Shares, which outperformed. For the same period, the Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Custom New Jersey Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Custom New Jersey Index.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds produced a healthy gain in the12-month period, largely as a result of the sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields from November onward. Government bonds were boosted by the combination of slowing economic growth and the Fed’s pivot toward a more accommodative monetary policy.Tax-exempt issues gained further support from the continued improvement in municipal finances and favorablesupply-and-demand trends in the market.
New Jersey municipal bonds benefited from positive fundamental revenue surprises and thriving investor demand, which pushed yield spreads tighter and helped the state outperform the broader, national index. Investors’ appetite for income led to outperformance for both longer-dated and lower-quality issues.Supply-and-demand factors in the state were also supportive in theyear-to-date period ended May 31, 2019, as net negative supply in New Jersey exceeded $10 billion.
The Fund sought to manage interest rate risk using U.S. Treasury futures. Since Treasury yields fell, as prices rose, this aspect of the Fund’s positioning detracted from returns. Underweight positions in the statetax-backed and transportation sectors, both of which outperformed the broader market, hurt relative Fund performance. The Fund’s allocation to higher-rated securities, which underperformed lower-quality bonds, also detracted from returns. Reinvestment had an adverse effect on the Fund’s income, as the proceeds of higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called needed to be reinvested at lower prevailing rates.
The Fund benefited from its overweight position in the long end of the yield curve (bonds with maturities of 20 years and above). At the sector level, overweights in health care and education issues helped performance. A modest amount of portfolio leverage augmented returns and provided additional income.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
Portfolio activity centered on reinvesting the proceeds from income, as well as from bonds that matured or were called. The Fund’s purchases were focused on longer-term securities in revenue sectors, together with a few select local general obligation issues that augmented diversification. The Fund’s investment adviser took the opportunity to diversify into Puerto Rico bonds at attractive yields, which helped total returns for the period.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund continued to favor higher-yielding, lower-rated investment-grade issues in revenue sectors such as health care and higher education. Conversely, it had a less favorable view on state general obligation debt. Despite the recent positive revenue surprises, New Jersey’s credit rating and yield spreads continued to reflect the state’s high unfunded pension liabilities. The Fund closed the period with a modestly long duration (above-average interest-rate sensitivity) and an emphasis on longer-term bonds, particularly those with maturities of 20 years and above.

Fund Summary as of May 31, 2019 | | BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund |
Investment Objective
BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with income exempt from Federal income tax and Pennsylvania personal income taxes.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2019, the Fund underperformed both its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the Custom Pennsylvania Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Custom Pennsylvania Index.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds produced a healthy gain in the12-month period, largely as a result of the sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields from November onward. Government bonds were boosted by the combination of slowing economic growth and the Fed’s pivot toward a more accommodative monetary policy.Tax-exempt issues gained further support from the continued improvement in municipal finances and favorablesupply-and-demand trends in the market.
Pennsylvania municipal bonds benefited from a positive fundamental backdrop with growing tax collections. Demand for higher-yielding investment-grade debt led to tightening yield spreads on the state’s general obligation bonds and helped the state outperform the broader, national index.
The Fund sought to manage interest rate risk using U.S. Treasury futures. Since Treasury yields fell, as prices rose, this aspect of the Fund’s positioning detracted from Fund returns. The Fund’s allocation to higher-rated securities, which underperformed lower-quality bonds, also detracted. Reinvestment had an adverse effect on the Fund’s income, as the proceeds of higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called needed to be reinvested at lower prevailing rates.
The Fund benefited from overweight positions in the health and education sectors. However, an underweight position in the statetax-backed sector, which outperformed the broader market, hurt relative performance. A sizable overweight inpre-refunded bonds, while generating positive absolute returns, lagged other sectors due to its low duration characteristics. (Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity.) The Fund’s preference for these bonds reflects their higher yields and low risk profile.
The Fund was helped by its overweight in the long end of the yield curve (bonds with maturities of 20 years and above). A modest amount of portfolio leverage augmented returns and provided additional income.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund’s investment adviser took the opportunity to diversify into Puerto Rico bonds at attractive yields, which helped total returns. This move also contributed to an increase in the Fund’s duration, as well as a decline in its average credit quality.New-issue bonds provided the Fund with opportunities to capitalize on the contrast between the dearth of supply and the record pace of mutual fund inflows in theyear-to-date period ended May 31, 2019.
The Fund remained fully invested, leaving its barbell strategy intact and usingpre-refunded bonds as a source of income and to fund new purchases. (A barbell structure is an overweight in long- and short-term bonds, with a corresponding underweight in intermediate-term issues.)
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund continued to favor higher-yielding, lower-rated investment-grade issues in revenue sectors such as health care and higher education. Conversely, it had a less favorable view toward state general obligation debt. The Fund closed the period with an above-benchmark duration and a barbell curve structure with concentrations in bonds maturing in zero to two years as well as 20 years and above.
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.

Investment Objective

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the12-month period ended May 31, 2019, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, as well as its custom blended secondary benchmark comprised of 65% S&P® Municipal Bond Investment Grade Index, 30% S&P® Municipal Bond High Yield Index and 5% Bloomberg Barclays Taxable Municipal: U.S. Aggregate Eligible Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the custom blended benchmark.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds produced a healthy gain in the12-month period, largely as a result of the sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields from November onward. Government bonds were boosted by the combination of slowing economic growth and the Fed’s pivot toward a more accommodative monetary policy.Tax-exempt issues gained further support from the continued improvement in municipal finances and favorablesupply-and-demand trends in the market.
The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk detracted from performance by preventing the Fund from gaining the full benefit of falling rates. Underweight positions in bonds with10- to18-year maturities also detracted, as did an underweight innon-rated issues.
The Fund’s sector allocations helped offset some of the underperformance, with positive contributions coming from overweight positions in transportation, housing and health care. From a credit perspective, overweight positions in A and BBB rated debt outperformed the benchmark. Long-term bonds with maturities of 20 years and above further contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund opened the period with a duration of 4.65 years and closed at 4.5 years. (Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity.) In comparison, the benchmark’s duration stood at 6.6 years as of May 31, 2019.
At the sector level, the Fund’s investment adviser made the largest increases in housing and statetax-backed issues. The Fund maintained a high-quality bias with its largest allocations to the AA and A rating tiers. About 18% of the Fund’s assets were invested in high yield (below investment-grade) bonds at period end, with the majority held in the tobacco sector and Puerto Rico. In comparison, the Fund had a 19% weighting in this area at the start of the period. The Fund held an allocation of approximately 58% to bonds with maturities of 20 years and above as of May 31, 2019, up from 55% one year ago. The portfolio’s weighting in taxable securities remained at 6%. Toward the end of the period, the Fund’s activity focused on taking gains in strong recent performers.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund was notably overweight in the transportation and housing sectors and underweight in school district, localtax-backed andpre-refunded/escrowed bonds. The Fund’s average credit quality remained at A+.

About Fund Performance
Institutional Shares are not subject to any sales charge. These shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available only to certain eligible investors.
Class K Shares are not subject to any sales charge. These shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available only to certain eligible investors. For each Fund, Class K Shares performance shown prior to the Class K January 25, 2018 inception date is that of Institutional Shares. The performance of the Funds’ Class K Shares would be substantially similar to Institutional Shares because Class K Shares and Institutional Shares invest in the same portfolio of securities and performance would only differ to the extent that Class K Shares and Institutional Shares have different expenses. The actual returns of Class K Shares would have been higher than those of the Institutional Shares because Class K Shares have lower expenses than the Institutional Shares.
Service Shares (available only in BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund and BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund) are not subject to any sales charge. These shares are subject to a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee) and are only available to certain eligible investors.
Investor A Shares are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 4.25% and a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee). Certain redemptions of these shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries.
Investor A1 Shares (for all Funds except BlackRock Strategic Municipal Opportunities Fund) are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 4.00% and a service fee of 0.10% per year (but no distribution fee). Investor A1 Shares for BlackRock Strategic Municipal Opportunities Fund incur a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 1.00% and a service fee of 0.10% per year (but no distribution fee). The maximum initial sales charge does not apply to current eligible shareholders of Investor A1 Shares of the Funds. Certain redemptions of these shares may be subject to a CDSC where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. However, the CDSC does not apply to redemptions by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans or to redemptions of shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains by existing shareholders and, for BlackRock California Municipal Opportunities Fund only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund.
Investor C Shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Effective November 8, 2018, each Fund adopted an automatic conversion feature whereby Investor C Shares held for approximately ten years will be automatically converted into Investor A Shares and, thereafter, investors will be subject to lower ongoing fees.
Investor C1 Shares (available in all Funds except BlackRock Strategic Municipal Opportunities Fund) are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. However, the CDSC does not apply to redemptions by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans or to redemptions of shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains by existing shareholders and, for BlackRock California Municipal Opportunities Fund only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.35% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. Effective November 8, 2018, each Fund adopted an automatic conversion feature whereby Investor C1 Shares held for approximately ten years will be automatically converted into Investor A Shares and, thereafter, investors will be subject to lower ongoing fees.
Investor A1 and Investor C1 Shares are only available for dividend and capital gain reinvestment by existing shareholders, and for purchase by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans and, for BlackRock California Municipal Opportunities Fund only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund.
Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer towww.blackrock.com 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 tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend date/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. Distributions 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.
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, each Fund’s performance would have been lower. The Manager is under no obligation to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements. The standardized 30-day yield includes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements. The unsubsidized 30-day yield excludes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements.
The Manager voluntarily waived a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver, each Fund’s performance would have been lower. The Manager is under no obligation to waive or to continue waiving its fees and such voluntary waiver may be reduced or discontinued at any time. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers.

14 | | 2019 BLACKROCK ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Shareholders of the Funds may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses, such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, service and distribution fees, including12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, and other Fund expenses. The expense examples shown below (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on December 1, 2018 and held through May 31, 2019) 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 expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund and share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect transactional expenses, such as sales charges, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance returns and NAV. However, there is no guarantee that these objectives can be achieved in all interest rate environments.
Each Fund may leverage its assets through the use of proceeds received in tender option bond (“TOB”) transactions, as described in the Notes to Financial Statements. In a TOB Trust transaction, the Funds transfer municipal bonds or other municipal securities into a special purpose entity (a “TOB Trust”). TOB investments generally 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 a TOB Trust may adversely affect the Funds’ NAV per share.
In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of leverage, which is based on short-term interest rates, is normally lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, such Fund’s shareholders benefit from the incremental net income.
The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is distributed to the Funds’ shareholders, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the Funds’ per share NAV. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and other ongoing costs of leverage exceed a Fund’s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if the Funds had not used leverage.
Furthermore, the value of each Fund’s portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can also influence the value of portfolio investments. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence each Fund’s NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on each Fund’s performance from leverage. Changes in the direction of interest rates are difficult to predict accurately, and there is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful.
The use of leverage also generally causes greater changes in each Fund’s NAV and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. In a declining market, leverage is likely to cause a greater decline in the NAV of a Fund’s shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. In addition, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of the leverage instruments, which may cause the 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. Each Fund incurs expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by such Fund’s shareholders and may reduce income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other assets without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage and 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 instrument. The Funds’ successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
BlackRock California Municipal Series Trust, BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust and BlackRock Municipal Series Trust (each, a “Trust” or collectively, the “Trusts”) are each registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), asopen-end management investment companies. Each Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following are referred to herein collectively as the “Funds” and individually as a “Fund”:
| | | | | | |
Registrant Name | | Fund Name | | Herein Referred To As | | Diversification Classification |
BlackRock California Municipal Series Trust | | BlackRock California Municipal Opportunities Fund | | California Municipal Opportunities | | Diversified |
BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust | | BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund | | New Jersey Municipal Bond | | Non-diversified |
| | BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund | | Pennsylvania Municipal Bond | | Non-diversified |
BlackRock Municipal Series Trust | | BlackRock Strategic Municipal Opportunities Fund | | Strategic Municipal Opportunities | | Diversified |
Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions, except that certain classes bear expenses related to the shareholder servicing and distribution of such shares. Institutional, Service and Class K Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A and Investor C Shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Investor A1 and C1 Shares are only available for dividend and capital gain reinvestment by existing shareholders, and for purchase by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans and, for California Municipal Opportunities only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor C shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A distribution and service plan). Effective November 8, 2018, each Fund adopted an automatic conversion feature whereby Investor C and C1 Shares held for approximately ten years will be automatically converted into Investor A Shares and, thereafter, investors will be subject to lower ongoing fees.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Share Class | | Initial Sales Charge | | | CDSC | | | Conversion Privilege |
Institutional, Service and Class K Shares | | | No | | | | No | | | None |
Investor A Shares | | | Yes | | | | No | (a) | | None |

Investor C Shares | | | No | | | | Yes | | | To Investor A Shares after approximately 10 years |
Investor C1 Shares | | | No | | | | No | (d) | | To Investor A Shares after approximately 10 years |
| (a) | Investor A Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for certain redemptions where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. | |
| (b) | Investor A1 Shares are subject to a maximum sales charge on purchases of 1.00%. The sales charge does not apply to dividend and capital gain reinvestments by existing shareholders and new purchases for certain employer-sponsored retirement plans or, for California Municipal Opportunities only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund, which are currently the only investors who may invest in Investor A1 Shares. | |
| (c) | Investor A1 Shares may be subject to CDSC for certain redemptions where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. However, the CDSC does not apply to redemptions by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans or to redemptions of shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains by existing shareholders and, for California Municipal Opportunities only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund. | |
| (d) | A CDSC of 1.00% is assessed on certain redemptions of Investor C1 Shares made within one year after purchase. The CDSC does not apply to redemptions by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans or to redemptions of shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains by existing shareholders, and for California Municipal Opportunities only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund. | |
The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex ofnon-index fixed-income mutual funds and all BlackRock-advisedclosed-end funds referred to as the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of 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. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition:For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are executed (the “trade dates”). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on an accrual basis. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
Segregation and Collateralization:In cases where a Fund enters into certain investments (e.g., futures contracts) or certain borrowings (e.g., TOB Trust transactions) that would be treated as “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, a Fund may segregate or designate on itsbooks and records cash or liquid assets having a market value at least equal to the amount of its future obligations under such investments or borrowings. Doing so allows the investment or borrowing to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.
Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on theex-dividend date and made at least annually. The portion of distributions, if any, that exceeds a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as measured on a tax basis, constitute anon-taxable return of capital. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Deferred Compensation Plan: Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Trust’s Board effective January 1, 2019, the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), may defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex selected by the Independent Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust, as applicable. Deferred compensation liabilities are included in the Trustees’ and Officer’s fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Trusts until such amounts are distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Offering Costs: Offering costs are amortized over a12-month period beginning with the commencement of operations of a class of shares.
Recent Accounting Standards:In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, the premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit,non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management continues to evaluate the impact of this guidance on the Funds.
Indemnifications:In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against a Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or the applicable class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on their relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
3. | INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Investment Valuation Policies: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of each Fund (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 oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments.
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund’s assets and liabilities:
| • | | Fixed-income securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued using the last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by independent dealers or third party pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more independent brokers or dealers as obtained from a third party pricing service. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data (e.g., recent representative bids and offers), credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information. Certain fixed-income securities, including asset-backed and mortgage related securities may be valued based on valuation models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. The amortized cost method of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the Manager determines such method does not represent 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. |
| • | | Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official closing price each day, if available. For ETFs traded on more than one exchange, the official closing price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. ETFs traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. |
| • | | Investments inopen-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) each business day. |
| • | | Futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. |
If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investments, or in the event that the 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 Valued Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Global Valuation Committee will include market approach, income approach and cost approach. Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow, use of market comparables and matrix pricing are types of valuation approaches and are typically used

in determining fair value. When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in anarm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement. The pricing of all Fair Valued Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:
| • | | Level 1 — Unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that each Fund 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 each Fund’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 fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the Global Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investments and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4. | SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS |
Zero-Coupon Bonds: Zero-coupon bonds are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. These bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than other debt obligations of similar maturity which provide for regular interest payments.
Forward Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities: Certain 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. A fund 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, a fund may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, a fund is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, a fund 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, a fund’s maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOB Trusts: Certain funds leverage their assets through the use of “TOB Trust” transactions. The funds transfer municipal bonds into a special purpose trust (a “TOB Trust”). A TOB Trust issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests (“TOB Trust Certificates”), which are sold to third party investors, and residual inverse floating rate interests (“TOB Residuals”), which are issued to the participating funds that contributed the municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. The TOB Trust Certificates have interest rates that reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender such certificates to the TOB Trust for redemption at par and any accrued interest at each reset date. The TOB Residuals held by a fund provide the fund with the right to cause the holders of a proportional share of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates to the TOB Trust at par plus accrued interest. The funds may withdraw a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB Trust. Other funds managed by the investment adviser may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB Trust into which a fund has contributed bonds. If multiple BlackRock-advised funds participate in the same TOB Trust, the economic rights and obligations under the TOB Residuals will be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust.
TOB Trusts are supported by a liquidity facility provided by a third party bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment of par plus accrued interest on any business day. The tendered TOB Trust Certificates are remarketed by a Remarketing Agent. In the event of a failed remarketing, the TOB Trust may draw upon a loan from the Liquidity Provider to purchase the tendered TOB Trust Certificates. Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased TOB Trust Certificates held by the TOB Trust and will be subject to an increased interest rate based on number of days the loan is outstanding.
The TOB Trust may be collapsed without the consent of a fund, upon the occurrence of a termination event as defined in the TOB Trust agreement. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, a TOB Trust would be liquidated with the proceeds applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee of the TOB Trust, the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider. Upon certain termination events, TOB Trust Certificates holders will be paid before the TOB Residuals holders (i.e., the Funds) whereas in other termination events, TOB Trust Certificates holders and TOB Residuals holders will be paid pro rata.
While a fund’s investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in inverse floating rate securities, such as TOB Residuals, they restrict the ability of a fund to borrow money for purposes of making investments. Each fund’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB Trust is considered a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The cash received by the TOB Trust from the sale of the TOB Trust Certificates, less certain transaction expenses, is paid to a fund. A fund typically invests the cash received in additional municipal bonds.

Accounting for TOB Trusts: The municipal bonds deposited into a TOB Trust are presented in a fund’s Schedule of Investments and the TOB Trust Certificates are shown in Other Liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any loans drawn by the TOB Trust pursuant to the liquidity facility to purchase tendered TOB Trust Certificates are shown as Loan for TOB Trust Certificates. The carrying amount of a fund’s payable to the holder of the TOB Trust Certificates or the Liquidity Provider, as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as TOB Trust Certificates or Loan for TOB Trust Certificates, approximates its fair value.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by a fund on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the TOB Trust transaction and other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Fees paid upon creation of the TOB Trust are recorded as debt issuance costs and are amortized to interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations to the expected maturity of the TOB Trust. In connection with the restructurings of the TOB Trusts tonon-bank sponsored TOB Trusts, a fund incurrednon-recurring, legal and restructuring fees, which are recorded as interest expense, fees and amortization of deferred offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Amounts recorded within interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations are:

For the year ended May 31, 2019, the following table is a summary of each fund’s TOB Trusts:

| (a) | The municipal bonds transferred to a TOB Trust are generally high grade municipal bonds. In certain cases, when municipal bonds transferred are lower grade municipal bonds, the TOB Trust transaction may include a credit enhancement feature that provides for the timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds to the TOB Trust by a credit enhancement provider in the event of default of the municipal bond. The TOB Trust would be responsible for the payment of the credit enhancement fee and the funds, as TOB Residuals holders, would be responsible for reimbursement of any payments of principal and interest made by the credit enhancement provider. The maximum potential amounts owed by the funds, for such reimbursements, as applicable, are included in the maximum potential amounts disclosed for recourse TOB Trusts. | |
| (b) | TOB Trusts may be structured on anon-recourse or recourse basis. When a Fund invests in TOB Trusts on anon-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider may be required to make a payment under the liquidity facility to allow the TOB Trust to repurchase TOB Trust Certificates. The Liquidity Provider will be reimbursed from the liquidation of bonds held in the TOB Trust. If a fund invests in a TOB Trust on a recourse basis, a fund enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where a fund is required to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for any shortfall between the amount paid by the Liquidity Provider and proceeds received from liquidation of municipal bonds held in the TOB Trust (the “Liquidation Shortfall”). As a result, if a fund invests in a recourse TOB Trust, a fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple funds participate in any such TOB Trust, these losses will be shared ratably, including the maximum potential amounts owed by a fund at May 31, 2019, in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust. The recourse TOB Trusts are identified in the Schedules of Investments including the maximum potential amounts owed by a Fund at May 31, 2019. | |

5. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to manage their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risks (e.g., inflation risk). Derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure are included in the Schedules of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange orover-the-counter (“OTC”).
Futures Contracts:Futures contracts are purchased or sold to gain exposure to, or manage exposure to, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) and changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 93 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Futures contracts are agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and on a specified date. Depending on the terms of a contract, it is settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Amounts pledged, which are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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 market value of the contract (“variation margin”). Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations equal to the difference between the notional amount of the contract at the time it was opened and the notional amount at the time it was closed. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and interest, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.
6. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Investment Advisory:Each Trust, on behalf of its Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Funds’ investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), to provide investment advisory and administrative services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund.
For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to the following percentages of the average daily value of each Fund’s net assets:

With respect to the contractual expense limitation, if during California Municipal Opportunities’ fiscal year the operating expenses of a share class, that at any time during the prior two fiscal years received a waiver and/or reimbursement from the Manager, are less than the current expense limitation for that share class, the Manager is entitled to be reimbursed by such share class up to the lesser of: (a) the amount of fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed during those prior two fiscal years under the

agreement and (b) an amount not to exceed either the current expense limitation of that share class or the expense limitation of the share class in effect at the time that the share class received the applicable waiver and/or reimbursement, provided that:
(1) the Fund, of which the share class is a part, has more than $50 million in assets for the fiscal year, and
(2) the Manager or an affiliate continues to serve as the Fund’s investment adviser or administrator.
This repayment applies only to the contractual expense limitation on net expenses for California Municipal Opportunities and does not apply to the contractual investment advisory fee waiver described above or any voluntary waivers that may be in effect from time to time.

Interfund Lending: In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), each Fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility for temporary purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by each Fund’s investment policies and restrictions. Each Fund is currently permitted to borrow under the Interfund Lending Program.
A lending BlackRock fund may lend in aggregate up to 15% of its net assets, but may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to any one borrowing fund through the Interfund Lending Program. A borrowing BlackRock fund may not borrow through the Interfund Lending Program or from any other source more than 33 1/3% of its total assets (or any lower threshold provided for by the fund’s investment restrictions). If a borrowing BlackRock fund’s total outstanding borrowings exceed 10% of its total assets, each of its outstanding interfund loans will be subject to collateralization of at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. All interfund loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the highest current overnight repurchase agreement rate available to a lending fund and the bank loan rate, as calculated according to a formula established by the Board.
During the year ended May 31, 2019, the Funds did not participate in the Interfund Lending Program.
Trustees and Officers:Certain trustees and/or officers of the Trusts are trustees and/or officers of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in Trustees and Officer in the Statements of Operations.
Other Transactions:The Trusts may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common trustees. For the year ended May 31, 2019, the purchase and sale transactions and any net realized gains (losses) with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

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 U.S. federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns generally remains open for each of the four years ended May 31, 2019. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of May 31, 2019, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.
U.S. 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. As of period end, the following permanent differences attributable to non-deductible expenses and the expiration of capital loss carryforwards were reclassified to the following accounts:

Each Trust, on behalf of its Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a364-day, $2.25 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders. Under this agreement, the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain individual funds, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.75 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.10% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of(a) one-month LIBOR (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. The agreement expires in April 2020 unless extended or renewed. Prior to April 18, 2019, Participating Funds paid an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% on the total commitment amounts, in addition to administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations. These fees were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. During the year ended May 31, 2019, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.
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.
Inventories of municipal bonds held by brokers and dealers may decrease, which would lessen their ability to make a market in these securities. Such a reduction in market making capacity could potentially decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds. As a result, a Fund may sell a security at a lower price, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative impact on performance. If a Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices and impact performance.
In the normal course of business, certain Funds invest in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject each Fund to various risks, including among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate and price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which each Fund is subject.
Each Fund may be exposed to prepayment risk, which is the risk that borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled during periods of declining interest rates, which would force each Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Each Fund may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income from each Fund’s portfolio will decline if each Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed-income securities at market interest rates that are below each Fund portfolio’s current earnings rate.
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 99 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Funds may hold a significant amount of bonds subject to calls by the issuers at defined dates and prices. When bonds are called by issuers and the Funds reinvest the proceeds received, such investments may be in securities with lower yields than the bonds originally held, and correspondingly, could adversely impact the yield and total return performance of a Fund.
A Fund structures and “sponsors” the TOB Trusts in which it holds TOB Residuals and has certain duties and responsibilities, which may give rise to certain additional risks including, but not limited to, compliance, securities law and operational risks.
Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in the TOB Trusts 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 Trust may adversely affect the Funds’ NAVs per share.
The SEC and various federal banking and housing agencies have adopted credit risk retention rules for securitizations (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules would require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
TOB Trusts constitute an important component of the municipal bond market. Any modifications or changes to rules governing TOB Trusts may adversely impact the municipal market and the Funds, including through reduced demand for and liquidity of municipal bonds and increased financing costs for municipal issuers. The ultimate impact of any potential modifications on the TOB Trust market and the overall municipal market is not yet certain.
Counterparty Credit Risk:Certain Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes 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 approximately their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
A derivative contract may suffer amark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk exists inexchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
Concentration Risk:Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. This may subject each Fund to the risk that economic, political or social issues impacting a particular state or group of states could have an adverse and disproportionate impact on the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the Funds’ respective portfolios. Investment percentages in specific states or U.S. territories are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
As of period end, California Municipal Opportunities invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the county, city, health, special district, school district and utilities sector. Pennsylvania Municipal Bond invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the health sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting such sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
The Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in fixed-income securities and/or use derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of BlackRock California Municipal Opportunities Fund of BlackRock California Municipal Series Trust, BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund and BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust, and BlackRock Strategic Municipal Opportunities Fund of BlackRock Municipal Series Trust (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of May 31, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statement of cash flows for BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of May 31, 2019, and the results of their operations and BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund’s cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Certain of thesenon-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 specificcase-by-case basis (“generalpre-approval”). The term of any generalpre-approval is 12 months from the date of thepre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or othernon-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemedpre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding thepre-approved cost levels will require specificpre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to generalpre-approval (e.g.,
3
unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to generalpre-approval at the next regularly scheduledin-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 permittednon-audit services, including services exceedingpre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule2-01 of RegulationS-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregatenon-audit fees, defined as the sum of the fees shown under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees,” paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers were:
| | | | | | | | |
Entity Name | | Current Fiscal Year End | | Previous Fiscal Year End | | | | |
BlackRock California Municipal Opportunities Fund of BlackRock California Municipal Series Trust | | $17,500 | | $14,100 |
Additionally, the amounts billed by D&T in connection with services provided to the Affiliated Service Providers of the Fund and of other funds sponsored and advised by BlackRock or its affiliates during the current and previous fiscal years for a service organization review and an accounting research tool subscription were:
| | |
Current Fiscal Year End | | Previous Fiscal Year End |
$2,050,500 | | $2,274,000 |
These amounts represent aggregate fees paid by BlackRock and were not allocated on a per fund basis.
(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision ofnon-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers that were notpre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule2-01 of RegulationS-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
