2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012

Dear Shareholder

Risk assets were advancing at this time last year despite a wave of geopolitical revolutions, soaring oil prices and natural disasters in Japan. Markets reversed sharply in May, however, when escalating political strife in Greece rekindled fears about sovereign debt problems spreading across Europe. Concurrently, global economic indicators signaled that the recovery had slowed. Confidence was further shaken by the prolonged debt ceiling debate in Washington, DC. On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor’s downgraded the US government’s credit rating and turmoil erupted in financial markets around the world. Extraordinary levels of volatility persisted in the months that followed as Greece teetered on the brink of default, debt problems escalated in Italy and Spain, and exposure to European sovereign bonds stressed banks globally. Financial markets whipsawed on hopes and fears. Macro news flow became a greater influence on trading decisions than the fundamentals of the securities traded. By the end of the third quarter, equity markets had fallen nearly 20% from their April peak while safe-haven assets such as US Treasuries and gold had rallied to historic highs.

October brought enough positive economic data to assuage fears of a global double-dip recession. Additionally, European leaders began to show progress toward stemming the region’s debt crisis. Investors began to reenter the markets and risk assets recovered through the month. But a lack of definitive details about Europe’s rescue plan eventually raised doubts among investors and thwarted the rally at the end of October. The last two months of 2011 saw more political instability in Greece, unsustainable yields on Italian government bonds, and US policymakers in gridlock over budget issues. Global central bank actions and improving economic data invigorated the markets, but investor confidence was easily tempered by sobering news flow.

Investors showed more optimism at the start of 2012. Risk assets rallied through January and February as economic data grew stronger and debt problems in Europe stabilized. In the United States, jobs data signaled solid improvement in the labor market and the Federal Reserve indicated that it would keep short-term interest rates low through 2014. In Europe, policymakers made significant progress toward securing a Greek bailout plan and restructuring the nation’s debt. Nevertheless, considerable head-winds remain. Europe faces a prolonged recession, the US economy still remains somewhat shaky and the risks of additional flare ups of euro-zone debt problems and slowing growth in China weigh heavily on the future of the global economy.

Risk assets, including equities and high yield bonds, recovered their late-summer losses and posted strong returns for the 6-month period ended February 29, 2012. On a 12-month basis, US large-cap stocks and high yield bonds delivered positive results, while small-cap and emerging-market stocks finished slightly negative. International markets, which experienced some significant downturns in 2011, lagged the broader rebound. Fixed income securities, which benefited from declining yields, advanced over the 6- and 12-month periods. Despite their quality rating downgrade, US Treasury bonds performed particularly well. Municipal bonds also delivered superior results. Continued low short-term interest rates kept yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.

Many of the themes that caused uncertainty in 2011 remain. For investors, the risks appear daunting, but this challenging environment offers new opportunities. BlackRock was built for these times. Visit blackrock.com/newworld for more information.

Sincerely,

Rob Kapito

Trust Summary as of February 29, 2012 BlackRock Core Bond Trust

Investment Objective

BlackRock Core Bond Trust’s (BHK) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 75% of its assets in bonds that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Trust’s investments will include a broad range of bonds, including corporate bonds, US government and agency securities and mortgage-related securities. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

•	For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the Trust returned 15.20% based on market price and 8.63% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated category posted an average return of 8.84% based on market price and 5.79% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
What factors influenced performance?
•	Spread sectors outperformed government-related debt for the six-month period as improving US economic fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy provided a backdrop conducive for credit spread compression. As a result, the Trust benefited from its allocations to investment grade credit and high yield corporate credit. Within corporate credit, relative value trading in industrials was additive to performance. The Trust also benefited from exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), which outperformed most other securitized debt sectors. Finally, the Trust’s duration stance (sensitivity to interest rate movements) contributed to returns as rates generally moved lower throughout the period.
•	The Trust actively traded exposure to financials within investment grade credit. Although these positions performed well toward period end, the overall effect was a drag on performance as European sovereign debt fear caused weakness in US financial names.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
•	During the period, the Trust reduced its allocation to investment grade securities in the banking industry while increasing exposure to companies with strong cash flow and high earnings visibility in the energy and telecommunications space. Toward period end, the Trust increased its portfolio duration, primarily by adding exposure to US Treasury bonds.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
•	At period end, the Trust maintained a diversified exposure to non-government spread sectors, including investment grade credit, high yield corporate credit, CMBS, asset-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). The Trust also held allocations to government-related sectors such as US Treasuries, agency debt and agency MBS. The Trust ended the reporting period with a long duration profile.

Trust Summary as of February 29, 2012 BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund V, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund V, Inc.’s (HYV) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities that are rated in the lower rating categories of the established rating services (BB or lower by S&P or Ba or lower by Moody’s) or in unrated securities considered by the Trust’s investment adviser to be of comparable quality. The Trust also seeks to provide shareholders with capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in domestic and foreign high yield debt instruments, including high yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk” bonds) and high yield corporate loans which are below investment grade quality. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

	No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.
Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?
•	For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the Trust returned 16.85% based on market price and 11.05% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Current Yield Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 13.38% based on market price and 10.05% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
What factors influenced performance?
•	The Trust delivered strong returns for the six-month period as risk assets rallied. High yield debt posted solid gains, outpacing government, emerging market and investment grade corporate sectors. Across the high yield credit spectrum, security selection in the mid- to higher-quality tiers boosted the Trust’s returns. Among sectors, security selection in the consumer service and non-captive diversified financials was rewarding. The Trust’s exposure to Delphi Automotive Plc stock received in connection with the company’s reorganization also added to performance.
•	Detracting from performance was the Trust’s tactical allocations to bank loans and investment grade credit, which underperformed relative to high yield debt in the risk asset rally. Exposure to select lower- and non-rated names in the high yield market hurt performance, as did security selection in the paper, metals & mining and non-cable media sectors.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
•	The period began with severe market volatility in reaction to headwinds from Europe’s debt crisis and a possible US government shut-down. However, the environment shifted in December when the European Central Bank announced a long-term refinancing operation. This liquidity program provided a much-needed short-term panacea for the financial markets and mitigated the risk of a collapse in the European banking system. Moreover, it was the catalyst for a positive turn in the valuation of risk assets.
•	Given these developments, the Trust maintained its higher-quality income- oriented bias, but started selectively adding back some risk in names with appealing risk-reward characteristics. Despite this modest shift to “risk-on,” the Trust continued to seek issuers with superior fundamentals (solid cash flows, earnings visibility and attractive downside protection), while generally remaining cautious of higher-beta credits (i.e., those with higher sensitivity to market volatility) and the more cyclical sectors.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
•	At period end, the Trust held 76% of its total portfolio in corporate bonds, 15% in floating rate loan interests (bank loans), with the remainder in common stocks, preferred stocks and other interests. The Trust’s largest sector exposures included non-cable media, wireless and independent energy, while its portfolio holdings reflected less emphasis on the more cyclical segments of the market such as gaming, building materials and technology. The Trust ended the period with economic leverage at 24% of its total managed assets.

	How did the Trust perform?
•	For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the Trust returned 13.56% based on market price and 10.07% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Current Yield Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 13.38% based on market price and 10.05% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
	What factors influenced performance?
•	The Trust delivered strong returns for the six-month period as risk assets rallied. High yield debt posted solid gains, outpacing government, emerging market and investment grade corporate sectors. Across the high yield credit spectrum, security selection in the higher-quality tiers and among non-rated investments boosted the Trust’s returns. Among sectors, security selection in the consumer service and non-captive diversified financials was rewarding. The Trust’s exposure to Delphi Automotive Plc stock received in connection with the company’s reorganization also added to performance.
•	Detracting from performance was the Trust’s tactical allocations to bank loans and investment grade credit, which underperformed relative to high yield debt in the risk asset rally. Exposure to select lower-rated names in the high yield market hurt performance, as did security selection in the paper and non-cable media sectors.
	Describe recent portfolio activity.
•	The period began with severe market volatility in reaction to headwinds from Europe’s debt crisis and a possible US government shut-down. However, the environment shifted in December when the European Central Bank announced a long-term refinancing operation. This liquidity program provided a much-needed short-term panacea for the financial markets and mitigated the risk of a collapse in the European banking system. Moreover, it was the catalyst for a positive turn in the valuation of risk assets.
•	Given these developments, the Trust maintained its higher-quality income- oriented bias, but started selectively adding back some risk in names with appealing risk-reward characteristics. Despite this modest shift to “risk-on,” the Trust continued to seek issuers with superior fundamentals (solid cash flows, earnings visibility and attractive downside protection), while generally remaining cautious of higher-beta credits (i.e., those with higher sensitivity to market volatility) and the more cyclical sectors.
	Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
•	At period end, the Trust held 79% of its total portfolio in corporate bonds, 16% in floating rate loan interests (bank loans), with the remainder in common stocks and other interests. The Trust’s largest sector exposures included non-cable media, wireless and independent energy, while its portfolio holdings reflected less emphasis on the more cyclical segments of the market such as banking, building materials and technology. The Trust ended the period with economic leverage at 21% of its total managed assets.

Portfolio Management Commentary

	How did the Trust perform?
•	For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the Trust returned 12.86% based on market price and 8.48% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated category posted an average return of 8.84% based on market price and 5.79% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
	What factors influenced performance?
•	Spread sectors outperformed government-related debt for the six-month period as improving US economic fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy provided a backdrop conducive for credit spread compression. As a result, the Trust benefited from its allocations to investment grade credit and high yield corporate credit. Within corporate credit, relative value trading in industrials was additive to performance. The Trust also benefited from exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), which outperformed most other securitized debt sectors. Finally, the Trust’s duration stance (sensitivity to interest rate movements) contributed to returns as rates generally moved lower throughout the period.
•	The Trust actively traded exposure to financials within investment grade credit. Although these positions performed well toward period end, the overall effect was a drag on performance as European sovereign debt fear caused weakness in US financial names.
	Describe recent portfolio activity.
•	During the period, the Trust reduced its allocation to investment grade securities in the banking industry while increasing exposure to companies with strong cash flow and high earnings visibility in the energy and telecommunications space. Toward period end, the Trust increased its portfolio duration, primarily by adding exposure to US Treasury bonds.
	Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
•	At period end, the Trust maintained a diversified exposure to non-government spread sectors, including investment grade credit, high yield corporate credit, CMBS, asset-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). The Trust also held allocations to government-related sectors such as US Treasuries, agency debt and agency MBS. The Trust ended the reporting period with a long duration profile.

Investment Objective

BlackRock Income Trust, Inc.’s (BKT) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to manage a portfolio of high-quality securities to achieve both preservation of capital and high monthly income. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 65% of its assets in mortgage-backed securities. The Trust invests at least 80% of its assets in securities that are (i) issued or guaranteed by the US government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities or (ii) rated at the time of investment either AAA by S&P or Aaa by Moody’s. Securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or its agencies or instrumentalities are generally considered to be of the same or higher credit or quality as privately issued securities rated AAA or Aaa. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

	No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.
Portfolio Management Commentary

	How did the Trust perform?
•	For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the Trust returned 8.48% based on market price and 3.29% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper US Mortgage Funds category posted an average return of 5.62% based on market price and 4.03% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
	What factors influenced performance?
•	The agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) sector exhibited elevated volatility during the period as debt problems in Europe weighed on market sentiment and the future of government policy on mortgage pre-payment remained uncertain. While these headwinds challenged the sector, the US Federal Reserve’s MBS purchase program provided support, and agency MBS outperformed US Treasuries for the period. Given these market conditions, the Trust benefited from increasing its allocation to pre-payment-sensitive agency MBS during the fourth quarter of 2011 after spreads widened in the space due to increased policy risk. These purchases were focused on securities where the impact of the potential policy changes would be limited while their spread widening was commensurate with the rest of the sector. These holdings were significant contributors to the Trust’s performance as they generated strong returns in the first two months of 2012.
•	Detracting slightly from performance were the Trust’s interest rate hedges designed to protect the portfolio from market volatility. The Trust uses interest rate derivatives including futures, options, swaps and swaptions, mainly for the purpose of managing duration, convexity and yield curve positioning. During the period, the Trust held short positions in US Treasury futures in order to reduce the overall duration profile of the portfolio. These positions served as a drag on performance as the US Treasury market broadly advanced during the period.
	Describe recent portfolio activity.
•	The Trust increased its allocation to agency MBS in the fourth quarter of 2011, as discussed above. Near the end of the period, the Trust took profits on these holdings. The sales were mainly among the lower-coupon securities, where the potential for their extension was greatest. The Trust maintained a strong level of yield by increasing exposure to pre-payment-sensitive securities. The Trust also maintained a limited exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), which performed well later in the period. The Trust slightly reduced its small allocation to non-agency MBS.
	Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
•	The backdrop for agency MBS appears constructive given the impact of the Federal Reserve’s mortgage reinvestment program in curtailing net supply along with the pending conclusion of the US Treasury portfolio liquidation, subdued mortgage refinance and purchase activity, and the sector’s attractive yields relative to other high-quality asset classes in a low interest rate environment. However, the extension potential for lower-coupon agency MBS remains high and, therefore, the Trust maintains a cautious stance. The Trust maintains exposure to high-quality agency MBS with varying maturities and coupon rates. The Trust also holds small allocations to non-agency MBS and CMBS. The Trust ended the reporting period with a slightly short duration profile.

Investment Objective

BlackRock Strategic Bond Trust’s (BHD) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through high current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities including corporate bonds, US government and agency securities, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities and other types of fixed income securities. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, a significant portion of its assets in corporate fixed income securities that are below investment grade quality, including high-risk, high yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk” bonds) and other such securities, such as preferred stocks. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

The Trusts may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their common shares (“Common Shares”). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.

The Trusts may utilize leverage by borrowing through a credit facility or through entering into reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by each Trust on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Trust (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Trust’s shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.

The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share NAV. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. If the yield curve becomes negatively sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates, income to shareholders will be lower than if the Trusts had not used leverage.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trust’s capitalization is $100 million and it borrows for an additional $30 million, creating a total value of $130 million available for investment in long-term securities. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Trust pays borrowing costs and interest expense on the $30 million of borrowings based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Trust with assets received from the borrowings earn income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the borrowing costs and interest expense of the borrowings is significantly lower than the income earned on the Trust’s long-term investments, and therefore the Trust’s shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.

If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Trust pays higher short-term interest rates whereas the Trust’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of the Trusts’ portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption value of the Trusts’ borrowings does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates.

As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Trusts’ NAVs positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Trust performance from leverage from borrowings discussed above.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Trusts, 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 Trusts’ NAVs, market prices and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Trusts’ 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, each Trust’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to Shareholders will be reduced. Each Trust 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 Trust to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Trust’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. Each Trust will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Shareholders and may reduce income.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Trusts are permitted to issue senior securities representing indebtedness up to 33¹/₃% of their total managed assets (each Trust’s net assets plus the proceeds of any outstanding borrowings). If the Trusts segregate liquid assets having a value not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest), a reverse repurchase agreement will not be considered a senior security and therefore will not be subject to this limitation. In addition, each Trust voluntarily limits its aggregate economic leverage to 50% of its managed assets. As of February 29, 2012, the Trusts had aggregate economic leverage from reverse repurchase agreements, treasury roll transactions and/or borrowings through a credit facility as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

	Percent of Economic Leverage
BHK	29%
HYV	24%
HYT	24%
HIS	19%
BHY	21%
BNA	30%
BKT	24%
BHD	20%

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options and swaps as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Trusts’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Trust to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Trust to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

• For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

• 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 Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of February 29, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

• For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

• 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 Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

	1	Using S&P’s rating.
	2	The maximum potential amount the Trust may pay should a negative credit event take place as defined under the terms of agreement.
•	For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.
•	Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:
	•	Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities
	•	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 Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
	Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

•	For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.
•	Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:
	•	Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities
	•	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 Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
	Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of February 29, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

• For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

• Level 1 — unadjusted 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 Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust’s most recent financial statements as contained in its annual report.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of February 29, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

•	For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.
•	Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:
	•	Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities
	•	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 Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
	Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of February 29, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

• For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

• 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 Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of February 29, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

•	For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.
•	Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:
•	Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities
•	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 Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of February 29, 2012 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Core Bond Trust (“BHK”), BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund V, Inc. (“HYV”), BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund VI, Inc. (“HYT”), BlackRock High Income Shares (“HIS”), BlackRock High Yield Trust (“BHY”), BlackRock Income Opportunity Trust, Inc. (“BNA”), BlackRock Income Trust, Inc. (“BKT”) and BlackRock Strategic Bond Trust (“BHD”) (collectively, the “Trusts”) are registered under the 1940 Act, as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. HYV, HYT, BNA and BKT are organized as Maryland corporations. BHK, BHY and BHD are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. HIS is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trusts’ 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. The Boards of Directors and the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board,” and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as “Trustees.” The Trusts determine and make available for publication the NAVs of their Common Shares on a daily basis.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts:

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BLK HYV (Luxembourg) Investments, S.a.r.l. and BLK HYT (Luxembourg) Investments, S.a.r.l. (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”), a wholly owned taxable subsidiary of each Trust which holds shares of private Canadian companies. Such shares are held in the Taxable Subsidiaries in order to realize benefits under the Double Tax Avoidance Convention between Canada and Luxembourg, the result of which is gains on the sale of such shares will not be subject to capital gains taxes in Canada. Income earned on the investments held by the Taxable Subsidiary may be taxable to such subsidiaries in Luxembourg. An income tax provision for all income, including realized and unrealized gains, if any, is reflected as either a reduction in investment income or as a component of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Trusts may invest up to 25% of their total assets in the Taxable Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Taxable Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to the Trusts.

Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trusts would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trusts fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The Trusts value their bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. To-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by pricing services. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Trusts’ pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security.

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and swaptions are valued by an independent pricing, service using a mathematical model, which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment, which 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 in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012 117

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 Trust 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.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Trust’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Trusts’ books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Trusts’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.

The Trusts do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Trusts report realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Certain Trusts may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets, or as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, and are generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security subject to such a prepayment feature will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. If the Trust has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.

Certain Trusts may purchase certain mortgage pass-through securities. There are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the US government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.

Collateralized Debt Obligations: Certain Trusts may invest in collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), which include collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). CBOs and CLOs are types of asset-backed securities. A CDO is a bankruptcy remote entity which is backed by a diversified pool of debt securities (CBOs) or syndicated bank loans (CLOs). The cash flows of the CDO can be split into multiple segments, called “tranches,” which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segment is the subordinated or “equity” tranche. This tranche bears the greatest risk of defaults from the underlying assets in the CDO and serves to protect the other, more senior, tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is shielded from defaults by the more junior tranches, a “senior” tranche will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than their underlying securities, and often receive investment grade ratings from one or more of the nationally recognized rating agencies. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to future defaults and the disappearance of one or more protecting tranches as a result of changes in the credit profile of the underlying pool of assets.

Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities: Certain Trusts may invest in multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These multiple class securities may be issued by Ginnie Mae, US government agencies or instrumentalities or by trusts formed by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans. In general, CMOs are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by, and multiple class pass-through securities represent direct ownership interests in, a pool of residential or commercial mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”), the payments on which are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Classes of CMOs include interest only (“IOs”), principal only (“POs”), planned amortization classes and targeted amortization classes. IOs and POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since

118 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

this increases the rate at which the principal is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. If the underlying Mortgage Assets experience greater than anticipated pre-payments of principal, the Trust may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: Certain Trusts may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the US government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest (IOs) and principal (POs) distributions on a pool of Mortgage Assets. Certain Trusts also may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities that are privately issued.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: Certain Trusts may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.

Capital Trusts: Certain Trusts may invest in capital trusts. These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual or stated maturity date. Dividends can be deferred without creating an event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market. Payments on these securities are treated as interest rather than dividends for federal income tax purposes. These securities generally are rated below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities.

Preferred Stock: Certain Trusts may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

Floating Rate Loan Interests: Certain Trusts may invest in floating rate loan interests. The floating rate loan interests the Trusts hold are typically issued to companies (the “borrower”) by banks, other financial institutions, and privately and publicly offered corporations (the “lender”). Floating rate loan interests are generally non-investment grade, often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Trusts may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Floating rate loan interests may include fully funded term loans or revolving lines of credit. Floating rate loan interests are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. Floating rate loan interests generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally the lending rate offered by one or more European banks, such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), the prime rate offered by one or more US banks or the certificate of deposit rate. Floating rate loan interests may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. The Trusts consider these investments to be investments in debt securities for purposes of their investment policies.

When a Trust purchases a floating rate loan interest it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan interest it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, the Trusts may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit amount of a floating rate loan interest. Facility and commitment fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan or term of the commitment, respectively. Consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned. Prepayment penalty fees, which may be received by the Trusts upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. The Trusts may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.

Floating rate loan interests are usually freely callable at the borrower’s option. The Trusts may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) or assignments (“Assignments”) of all or a portion of loans from third parties. Participations typically will result in the Trusts having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Trusts will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Trusts generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of offset against the borrower, and the Trusts may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Trusts will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. The Trusts’ investment in loan participation interests involves the risk of insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the Participation, the Trusts may be treated as general creditors of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower. Assignments typically result in the Trusts having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Trusts may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

Borrowed Bond Agreements: Certain Trusts may enter into borrowed bond agreements. In a borrowed bond agreement, the Trusts borrow a bond from a counterparty in exchange for cash collateral with the commitment that the security and the cash will be returned to the counterparty and the Trusts, respectively, at a mutually agreed upon rate and date. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Borrowed bond agreements are entered into primarily in connection with

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012 119

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

short sales of bonds. Earnings on cash collateral and compensation to the lender of the bond are based on agreed upon rates between the Trusts and the counterparty. The value of the underlying cash collateral approximates the market value and accrued interest of the borrowed bond. To the extent that a borrowed bond transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the cash collateral in the possession of the counterparty is monitored on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. As the market value of the borrowed bond changes, the cash collateral is periodically increased or decreased with a frequency and in amounts prescribed in the borrowed bond agreement. Full realization of the collateral by the Trusts may be limited if the value of an investment purchased with the cash collateral by the lender decreases. The Trusts may also experience delays in gaining access to the collateral.

Short Sales: Certain Trusts may enter into short sale transactions in which the Trusts sell a security it does not hold in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When a Trust makes a short sale, it will borrow the security sold short (borrowed bond) and deliver it to the counterparty to which it sold the security short. An amount equal to the proceeds received by the Trusts is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Trusts are required to repay the counterparty any interest received on the security sold short, which is shown as interest expense in the Statements of Operations. The Trusts may pay a fee on the assets borrowed from the counterparty, which is shown as stock loan fees in the Statements of Operations. The Trusts maintain a segregated account of securities or deposits cash with the broker-dealer as collateral for the short sales. The Trusts may receive interest on their cash collateral deposited with the broker-dealer. The Trusts are exposed to market risk based on the amount, if any, that the market value of the security increases beyond the market value at which the position was sold. Thus, a short sale of a security involves the risk that instead of declining, the price of the security sold short will rise. The short sale of securities involves the possibility of a theoretically unlimited loss since there is a theoretically unlimited potential for the market price of the security sold short to increase. A gain, limited to the price at which the Trusts sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to the dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is greater or less than the proceeds originally received. There is no assurance the Trusts will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: Certain Trusts 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. Certain Trusts 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 Trusts may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Trusts are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Trusts assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Trusts’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Schedules of Investments.

TBA Commitments: Certain Trusts may enter into TBA commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date. However, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. The Trusts generally enter into TBA commitments with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage-backed securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date.

Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions: Certain Trusts may sell TBA mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specific future date at an agreed upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Trusts will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. The Trusts account for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions may increase the Trusts’ portfolio turnover rate. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Trusts are required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.

Treasury Roll Transactions: Certain Trusts may enter into treasury roll transactions. In a treasury roll transaction the Trusts sell a Treasury security to a counterparty with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed upon price and future settlement date. The Trusts receive cash from the sale of the Treasury security to use for other investment purposes. The difference between the sale price and repurchase price represents net interest income or net interest expense reflective of an agreed upon rate between the Trusts and the counterparty over the term of the borrowing. For US GAAP purposes, a treasury roll transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing and not as a purchase or sale. During the term of the borrowing, interest income from the Treasury security and the related interest expense on the secured borrowing is recorded by the Trusts on an accrual basis. The Trusts will benefit from the transaction if the income earned on the investment purchased with the cash received in the treasury roll transaction exceeds the interest expense incurred by the Trusts. If the interest expense exceeds the income earned, the Trusts’ net investment income and dividends to shareholders may be adversely impacted. Treasury roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Trusts are required to repurchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Certain Trusts may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Trusts sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. The Trusts may utilize

120 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Trusts are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Trusts’ use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted while the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Trusts’ obligation to repurchase the securities.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Trusts either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, TBA sale commitments, financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, short sales and options written), or certain borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions), the Trusts 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 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 to such transactions 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. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Trusts are informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Consent fees are compensation for agreeing to changes in the terms of debt instruments and are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax return of capital. 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 Trust’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.

Each Trust files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on BHK, HIS, BHY, BNA, BKT and BHD’s US federal tax returns remain open for each of the three years ended August 31, 2011 and for the period ended August 31, 2008. The statutes of limitations on HYV and HYT’s tax returns remain open for each of the four years ended August 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Recent Accounting Standards: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures.

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financials instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, independent Trustees (“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 other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover each Trust’s deferred compensation liability, if any, are included in other assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in dividends — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Trusts 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 Trusts engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Trusts and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or other risk (inflation risk). These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Trusts’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral pledged by/posted to the counterparty. For OTC options purchased, the Trusts bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral received on the options should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written obligate the Trusts to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.

The Trusts may mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) implemented between a Trust and each of its respective counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement allows each Trust to offset with each separate counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is generally based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Trusts bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. In addition, the Trusts manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Trusts’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Trusts fail to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Trusts to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Financial Futures Contracts: The Trusts 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) or in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Trusts and the counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Trusts 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 Trusts as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Trusts enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Trusts, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Trusts are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Trust as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that a counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

Options: The Trusts purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk and/or interest rate risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Trusts purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Trusts is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Trust enters into a closing transaction), the Trusts realize a gain or loss

122 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Trusts write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Trusts hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Trusts write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

Options on swaps (swaptions) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement (interest rate risk and/or credit risk) at any time before the expiration of the option.

The Trusts also purchase or sell listed or OTC foreign currency options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). When foreign currency is purchased or sold through an exercise of a foreign currency option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the foreign currency acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the foreign currency sold. Such transactions may be effected with respect to hedges on non-US dollar denominated instruments owned by the Trusts but not yet delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Trusts.

In purchasing and writing options, the Trusts bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Trusts may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Trusts purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.

Swaps: The Trusts enter into swap agreements, in which the Trusts and a counterparty agree to either make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or net payment upon termination. These payments received or made by the Trusts are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Any upfront fees paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated, the Trusts will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trusts’ basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid. Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

• Credit default swaps — The Trusts enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Trusts enter into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of protection). The Trusts may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Trusts will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Trusts will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.

• Total return swaps — The Trusts enter into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in that market or to transfer the risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments based on the total return (coupons plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Trusts will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

• Interest rate swaps — The Trusts enter into interest rate swaps to gain or reduce exposure to interest rates or to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Interest rate floors, which are a type of interest rate swap, are agreements in which one party agrees to make payments to the other party to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate or floor in return for a premium. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time.

The administration fee paid to the Manager is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.10% for BNA, and 0.15% for BKT, of each Trust’s average net assets and 0.10% for BHY of the Trust’s average weekly total assets.

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through each Trust’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the amounts waived were as follows:

BHK	$	1,242
HYV	$	251
HYT	$	280
HIS	$	182
BHY	$	127
BNA	$	1,573
BKT	$	2,449
BHD	$	133

BlackRock provides investment management and other services to the Taxable Subsidiaries. BlackRock does not receive separate compensation from the Taxable Subsidiaries for providing investment management or administrative services. However, each Trust pays BlackRock based on the Trust’s net assets, which includes the assets of the Taxable Subsidiaries.

The Manager entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Manager with respect to BHK, HYV, HYT, HIS and BHD. The Manager pays BFM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by each Trust to the Manager.

Certain officers and/or Trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Trusts reimburse the Manager for compensation paid to the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Trusts after August 31, 2011 will not be subject to expiration. In addition, any such losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years.

As of February 29, 2012, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

	BHK			HYV			HYT			HIS			BHY			BNA			BKT			BHD

6. Borrowings:

HYV, HYT, HIS, BHY and BHD entered into a senior committed secured, 364-day revolving line of credit and a separate security agreement (the “SSB Agreement”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”). The Trusts have granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets to SSB. The SSB Agreement allowed for the following maximum commitment amounts:

	Commitment Amount
HYV	$	204,500,000
HYT	$	213,800,000
HIS	$	63,600,000
BHY	$	23,000,000
BHD	$	50,200,000

Prior to March 2, 2012, advances were made by SSB to the Trusts, at the Trusts’ option of (a) the higher of (i) 0.80% above the Fed Funds rate and (ii) 0.80% above the Overnight LIBOR or (b) 0.80% above 7-day, 30-day, 60-day or 90-day LIBOR.

Effective March 2, 2012, advances will be made by SSB to the Trusts, at the Trusts’ option of (a) the higher of (i) 0.75% above the Fed Funds rate and (ii) 0.75% above the Overnight LIBOR or (b) 0.75% above 7-day, 30-day, 60-day or 90-day LIBOR.

In addition, the Trusts pay a facility fee and a commitment fee based upon SSB’s total commitment to the Trusts. The fees associated with each of the agreements are included in the Statements of Operations as borrowing costs. Advances to the Trusts as of February 29, 2012 are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as loan payable.

The Trusts may not declare dividends or make other distributions on shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding short-term borrowing is less than 300%.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012 129

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the daily weighted average interest rates for Trusts with borrowings from reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions were as follows:

	Daily Weighted Average Interest Rate
BHK		0.16	%
BNA		0.15	%
BKT		0.19	%

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the daily weighted average interest rates for Trusts with loans under the revolving credit agreements were as follows:

	Daily Weighted Average Interest Rate
HYV		0.96	%
HYT		0.96	%
HIS		0.96	%
BHY		0.96	%
BHD		0.96	%

7. Commitments:

Certain Trusts may invest in floating rate loan interests. In connection with these investments, the Trust may also enter into bridge loan commitments (“commitments”). Bridge loan commitments may obligate the Trust to furnish temporary financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. At February 29, 2012, the Trusts had outstanding bridge loan commitments as follows:

	Commitment Amounts
HYV	$	5,101,399
HYT	$	5,352,437
HIS	$	1,557,646
BHY	$	574,917
BHD	$	510,000

In connection with these commitments, the Trusts earn a commitment fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, which is included in interest income in the Statements of Operations, is recognized ratably over the commitment period. The unrecognized commitment fee income is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as deferred income.

8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Trusts 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 Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Trusts; 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 Trusts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Trusts manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Trusts’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trusts.

Certain Trusts invest a significant portion of their assets in securities backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that hold mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Please see the Schedules of Investments for these securities. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults on assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.

9. Capital Share Transactions:

BHK, BHY and BHD are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, par value $0.001, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. BNA and BKT are authorized to issue 200 million shares, par value $0.01, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. HYV and HYT are authorized to issue 200 million shares, par value $0.10, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. HIS is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, no par value, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

For the periods shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by the following amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:

	Six Months Ended February 29, 2012		Year Ended August 31, 2011
HYV		25,438		—
HYT		38,517		—
HIS		51,607		—
BHY		759		—

132 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012

Additional Information

Dividend Policy

Each Trust’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Trusts may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Trusts for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Trusts during such month. The Trusts’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

General Information

The Trusts do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Trusts’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Trust has not been updated after completion of the respective Trust’s offerings and the information contained in each Trust’s Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated.

During the period, there were no material changes in the Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charter or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Trusts that were not approved by shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. Other than as disclosed on page 132, there have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios.

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other information regarding the Trusts may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference to BlackRock’s web-site is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding the Trusts and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website in this report.

Electronic Delivery

Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Trusts’ web-site or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly statements, annual and semi-annual reports by enrolling in the Trusts’ electronic delivery program.

Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks or Brokerages:

Please contact your financial advisor to enroll. Please note that not all investment advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.

Householding

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please call the Trusts at (800) 441-7762.

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

The Trusts file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Trusts’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on how to access documents on the SEC’s website without charge may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330. The Trusts’ Forms N-Q may also be obtained upon request and without charge by calling (800) 441-7762.

Availability of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

A description of the policies and procedures that the Trusts use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 441-7762; (2) at http://www.blackrock.com; and (3) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Availability of Proxy Voting Record

Information about how the Trusts voted proxies relating to securities held in the Trusts’ portfolios during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available upon request and without charge (1) at http://www.blackrock.com or by calling (800) 441-7762 and (2) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Availability of Trust Updates

BlackRock will update performance and certain other data for the Trusts on a monthly basis on its website in the “Closed-end Funds” section of http://www.blackrock.com. Investors and others are advised to periodically check the website for updated performance information and the release of other material information about the Trusts. This reference to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding the Trusts and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website in this report.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 29, 2012 133

Additional Information (concluded)

Section 19(a) Notices

These reported amounts and sources of distributions are estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Trust’s investment experience during the year and may be subject to changes based on the tax regulations. Each Trust will provide a Form 1099-DIV each calendar year that will explain the character of these dividends and distributions for federal income tax purposes.

February 29, 2012
	Total Fiscal Year-to-Date Cumulative Distributions by Character								Percent of Fiscal Year-to-Date Cumulative Distributions by Character
	Net Investment Income		Net Realized Capital Gains		Return of Capital		Total Per Common Share		Net Investment Income			Net Realized Capital Gains			Return of Capital			Total Per Common Share
BHY	$	0.256197		—	$	0.004803	$	0.261000		98	%		0	%		2	%		100	%

Each Trust estimates that it has distributed more than the amount of earned income and net realized gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment in a Trust is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Trust’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’

BlackRock Privacy Principles

BlackRock is committed to maintaining the privacy of its current and former fund investors and individual clients (collectively, “Clients”) and to safeguarding their non-public personal information.
