2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2009

Dear Shareholder

The past 12 months reveal two distinct market backdrops — one of investor pessimism and decided weakness, and another of optimism and nascent signs of recovery. The first half of the year was characterized by the former, as the global financial crisis erupted into the worst recession in decades. Daily headlines recounted universal macroeconomic deterioration, financial sector casualties, volatile swings in global equity markets, and unprecedented government intervention that included widespread (and globally coordinated) monetary and quantitative easing by central banks and large-scale fiscal stimuli. Sentiment improved noticeably in March, however, on the back of new program announcements by the Treasury and Federal Reserve, as well as generally stronger-than-expected economic data in a few key areas, including retail sales, business and consumer confidence, manufacturing and housing.

In this environment, US equities contended with extraordinary volatility, posting steep declines early, and then recouping those losses — and more — between March and May. Investor enthusiasm eased off in the final month of the period, mostly as a result of profit taking and portfolio rebalancing, as opposed to a change in the economic outlook. Through June 30, stocks did quite well on a year-to-date basis, with nearly all major indices crossing into positive territory. The experience in international markets was similar to that in the United States, though performance was generally more extreme both on the decline and on the upturn. Notably, emerging markets, which lagged most developed regions through the downturn, reassumed leadership in 2009 as these areas of the globe have generally seen a stronger acceleration in economic recovery.

In fixed income markets, while a flight to quality remained a prevalent theme, relatively attractive yields and distressed valuations, alongside a more favorable macro environment, eventually captured investor attention, leading to a sharp recovery in non-Treasury assets. A notable example from the opposite end of the credit spectrum was the high yield sector, which has firmly outpaced all other taxable asset classes since the start of 2009. At the same time, the municipal bond market enjoyed a strong return after the exceptional market volatility of 2008, buoyed by a combination of attractive valuations, robust retail investor demand and a slowdown in forced selling. Direct aid to state and local governments via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has also lent support.

All told, results for the major benchmark indexes reflected a bifurcated market.

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2009 BlackRock Insured Municipal Term Trust Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock Insured Municipal Term Trust Inc. (BMT) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide monthly income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and to return $10 per share (the initial offering price per share) to investors on or about December 31, 2010. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Trust returned 3.20% based on market price and 2.29% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 24.34% based on market price and 14.50% on a NAV basis. 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 Trust is being managed to achieve a goal of returning $10 per share to its shareholders on December 31, 2010. Performance was reflective of the short-term nature of bonds held, and no outstanding leverage. The Trust benefited from a high book yield, which allowed the dividend to be maintained for the period as interest rates declined sharply.

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2009 BlackRock Municipal 2018 Term Trust

Investment Objective

BlackRock Municipal 2018 Term Trust (BPK) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide monthly income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and to return $15 per share (the initial offering price) to investors on or about December 31, 2018. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Trust returned 18.21% based on market price and 16.04% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 29.75% based on market price and 18.36% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s premium to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust is being managed to achieve a goal of returning $15 per share to shareholders on December 31, 2018. Therefore, the Trust will mostly invest in issues closer to the termination date, and performance will reflect the generally shorter positioning. On the whole, performance for the first half of 2009 was primarily influenced by a sharp decline in interest rates, which pushed prices of bonds higher and benefited the Trust’s absolute performance. Prices rose more on the long end of the curve, so the Trust’s shorter positioning negatively influenced performance relative to its Lipper peers. Additionally, the Trust’s high yield and health care sector allocations outperformed, as spreads began to close relative to high-grade issues. As short rates declined, the cost of maintaining leverage declined, increasing the Trust’s income and allowing the dividend to increase, beginning with the July 1, 2009 distribution to shareholders.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

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

To leverage, certain Trusts issue Preferred Shares, which pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be based on short-term interest rates, which normally will 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 Common Shareholders will benefit from the incremental yield.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trust’s Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. 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 dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the Trust’s total portfolio of $150 million earns the income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than the income earned on the Trust’s long-term investments, and therefore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental yield.

Conversely, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of 6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Trust pays dividends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Trust’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates. If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental yield pickup on the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely.

Furthermore, the value of the Trust’s 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 Trust’s Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Trust’s NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Trust performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.

The Trusts may also, from time to time, leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond (“TOB”) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Trusts with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Trusts to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal securities deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Trust’s NAVs per share.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased returns to the Trusts and Common Shareholders, 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’ NAV, market price and dividend rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the 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, the Trusts’ net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. The Trusts may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause the Trusts to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit the Trusts’ ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies that rate preferred shares issued by the Trusts. The Trusts will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by the holders of the Common Shares and may reduce returns on the Common Shares.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trusts are permitted to issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50% of their total managed assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Trust anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such leverage is incurred. As of June 30, 2009, the Trusts had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:
	•	Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
	•	Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets 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)
	The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

•	Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:
	•	Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
	•	Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets 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)
	The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

•	Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:
	•	Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
	•	Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
		similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets 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)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Insured Municipal Term Trust Inc. (“Insured Municipal”), is organized as a Maryland corporation. BlackRock California Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“California 2018”), BlackRock Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“Municipal 2018”), and BlackRock New York Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“New York 2018”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. Insured Municipal and Municipal 2018 are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as diversified closed-end management investment companies. California 2018 and New York 2018 are registered as non-diversified closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. Municipal 2018, California 2018 and New York 2018 are herein referred to as the 2018 Trusts. Insured Municipal and the 2018 Trusts are referred herein collectively as the “Trusts” or individually as a “Trust.” The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Boards of Directors and the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts are referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board.” The Trusts determine and make available for publication the net asset value of their Common Shares on a daily basis.

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

Valuation of Investments: 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 selected under the supervision of the Board. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from bond dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments. Swap agreements are valued by utilizing quotes received daily by each Trust’s pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and trades of underlying securities. Short-term securities with maturities less than 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day.

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, the investment will be valued by a method approved by each Trust’s Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each 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.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The 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. The Trusts may purchase securities under such conditions only 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 purchaser is 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.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: Municipal 2018 leverages its assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of the funds, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Trust has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Trust include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to the Trust. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of the Trust upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors.

The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to each Trust, which typically invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Each Trust’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, therefore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Trusts’ Schedules of Investments and the proceeds from the issuance of the short-term floating rate certificates are shown as trust certificates in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2009 29

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Interest income from the underlying securities is recorded by the Trusts on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are reported as expenses of the Trusts. The floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At June 30, 2009, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust certificates and the interest rate for trust certificates were as follows:

	Underlying Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs		Liability for Trust Certificates		Interest Rate for Trust Certificates
Municipal 2018	$	5,291,350	$	3,750,000	0.83%

Financial transactions executed through TOBs generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds when short-term interest rates rise, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when short-term interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Should short-term interest rates rise, the Trusts’ investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Trusts’ investment income and distributions to shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Trusts’ net asset values per share.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: Each Trust 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.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on the accrual method. Each Trust amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions of holders of Preferred Stock are accrued and determined as described in Note 4.

Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Each Trust files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statutes of limitations on the Trusts’ US federal tax returns remains open for the four years ended December 31, 2008. The statues of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In June 2009, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“FAS 166”), was issued. FAS 166 is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FAS 166 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of FAS 166 must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of FAS 166 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of FAS 166. The impact of FAS 166 on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested Directors (“Independent Directors”) 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 other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent Directors had invested the deferred amounts directly in other certain 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 other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors in order to match their deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover each Trust’s deferred compensation liability are included in other assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

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

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC is not.

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ investment advisor, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory services.

The Manager is responsible for the management of each Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Trust. For such services, each Trust pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.35% for Insured Municipal, and 0.40% for the 2018 Trusts of the applicable Trust’s average weekly value of each Trust’s net assets. Average weekly net assets is the average weekly value of each Trust’s total assets minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.

The Manager has agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. These amounts are included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations.

The Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Manager, with respect to the 2018 Trusts, under which the Manager pays BFM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Trusts to the Manager.

The administration fee paid to the Manager by Insured Municipal is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.10% of the Trust’s average weekly net assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, all of the Trusts except Insured Municipal reimbursed the Manager for certain accounting services in the following amounts, which are included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations:

	Reimbursement to Manager
Municipal 2018		$	3,752
California 2018		$	1,478
New York Municipal 2018		$	936

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.

3. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were as follows:

	Purchases		Sales
Insured Municipal	$	6,323,988	$	6,046,525
Municipal 2018	$	22,314,407	$	6,002,469
California 2018	$	2,686,391	$	1,536,538
New York Municipal 2018	$	7,726,871	$	2,467,700

4. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

Each Trust invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific states.

Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which reduces the risk of loss due to issuer default. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.

In the normal course of business, the 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 (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 credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in the Trusts’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. Capital Share Transactions:

Common Shares

There are 200 million of $0.01 par value common shares authorized for Insured Municipal. There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value common shares authorized for each of the 2018 Trusts. Each Trust may classify or reclassify any unissued common shares into one or more series of Preferred Shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 the shares issued and outstanding remained constant.

Preferred Shares

The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at its liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of the Trusts, as set forth in the Trusts’ Articles Supplementary (“Governing Instrument”), are not satisfied.

From time to time in the future, the Trusts that have issued Preferred Shares may effect repurchases of such shares at prices below their liquidation preferences as agreed upon by the Trusts and seller. The Trusts also may redeem such shares from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing Instrument. The Trusts intend to effect such redemptions and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine.

The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with the holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class. However, holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class, would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares (b) change the Trust’s sub classification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company.

The Trusts had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding, effective yields and reset frequency at June 30, 2009:

	Series		Shares		Yields
Municipal 2018		R7		2,677		0.52%
		W7		2,677		0.52%
California 2018		M7		2,221		0.46%
New York 2018		T7		1,256		0.53%

Dividends on seven-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate, which is reset every seven days, based on the results of an auction. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction date, the Trust is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on all series of Preferred Shares is the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. The low, high and average dividend rates on the Preferred Shares for each Trust for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were as follows:

	Series		Low		High		Average
Municipal 2018		R7		0.44%		1.28%		0.71%
		W7		0.44%		1.28%		0.70%
California 2018		M7		0.46%		1.72%		0.71%
New York 2018		T7		0.46%		1.43%		0.72%

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of each Trust failed to clear any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.44% to 1.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Trusts but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a Trust’s auction rate preferred shares than buyers. It is impossible to predict how long this imbalance will last. A successful auction for each Trust’s Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not have the ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference.

The Trusts may not declare dividends or make other distributions on Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding Preferred Shares is less than 200%.

32 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2009

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

On June 2, 2008 and October 28, 2008, the Trusts announced the following redemptions of Preferred Shares at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date:

	Series		Redemption Date	Shares to be Redeemed	Aggregate Price
Insured Municipal		M7	6/24/08	600	$	15,000,000
		M7	11/18/08	2,000	$	50,000,000
Municipal 2018		W7	6/26/08	75	$	1,875,000
		R7	6/27/08	75	$	1,875,000
Municipal 2020		M7	6/24/08	50	$	1,250,000
		W7	6/26/08	50	$	1,250,000
		F7	6/30/08	50	$	1,250,000

Insured Municipal had sufficient short-term securities to satisfy the redemptions. Other Trusts financed the Preferred Shares redemptions with cash received from TOBs.

Preferred Shares issued and outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2007, remained constant.

6. Capital Loss Carryforwards:

As of December 31, 2008, the Trusts had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expirations dates:

Expires December 31,	Municipal 2018		California 2018		New York 2018
2010		—	$	933,303	$	26,392
2011		—		—		431,368

Total	$	14,062,262	$	3,417,022	$	1,381,717

7. Subsequent Events:

The Trusts paid a net investment income dividend in the following amounts per share on August 3, 2009 to Shareholders of record on July 15, 2009:

	Common Dividend Per Share
Insured Municipal		$	0.030417
Municipal 2018		$	0.078000
California 2018		$	0.072000
New York 2018		$	0.079000

The dividends declared on Preferred Shares for the period July 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009 for the Trusts were as follows:

	Series		Dividends Declared
Municipal 2018		R7		$	28,070
		W7		$	28,263
California 2018		M7		$	13,323
New York 2018		T7		$	22,819

Management’s evaluation of the impact of all subsequent events on the Trusts’ financial statements was completed through August 25, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2009 33

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Boards of Trustees (each, a “Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of BlackRock New York Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“BLH”), BlackRock California Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“BJZ”), BlackRock Insured Municipal Term Trust, Inc. (“BMT”) and BlackRock Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“BPK,” and, together with BLH, BJZ and BMT, each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met on April 14, 2009 and May 28 – 29, 2009 to consider the approval of the each Fund’s investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreements of BLH, BJZ and BPK (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the respective Fund, the Manager and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor”). The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”

Activities and Composition of the Boards

The Board of each Fund consists of twelve individuals, ten of whom are not “interested persons” of such Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of each Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Boards is an Independent Board Member. The Boards have established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and the Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by an Independent Board Member. In addition, the Boards have established an Ad Hoc Committee on Auction Market Preferred Shares.

The Agreements

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Boards assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements.

Throughout the year, each Board, acting directly and through its committees, consider at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the respective Fund and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any underperformance against its peers; (b) fees, including advisory and, for BMT, administration, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund for services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) each Fund’s operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to each Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) each Fund’s compliance with its Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Boards; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of each Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; and (k) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: Prior to the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Boards are engaged in an ongoing process with BlackRock to continuously review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fallout benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (f) an internal comparison of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable.

At an in-person meeting held on April 14, 2009, the Boards reviewed materials relating to their consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 28 – 29, 2009 Board meeting.

34 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2009

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (continued)

At an in-person meeting held on May 28 – 29, 2009, each Fund’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each respective Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between each respective Fund, the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. The Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of each Fund and BlackRock portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and certain affiliates from the relationship with each Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors.

The Boards also considered other matters they deemed important to the approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing of each Fund’s portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Boards’ review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Boards compared each Fund’s performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, and the performance of at least one relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Boards also reviewed the materials provided by each Fund’s portfolio management team discussing each Fund’s performance and each Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.

The Boards considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and each Fund’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Boards also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to each Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.

In addition to advisory services, the Boards considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with certain administrative and other services (in addition to any such services provided to each Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with other services, including: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional information in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of each Fund; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; and (viii) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of each Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund. In preparation for the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards were provided with reports, independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s performance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with their review, the Boards received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in each Fund’s applicable Lipper category. The Boards were provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Boards regularly review the performance of each Fund throughout the year.

The Boards of BLH, BMT and BPK noted that in general BLH, BMT and BPK performed better than their respective Peers in that the each Fund’s performance was at or above the median of its respective Lipper performance universe composite in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2009 35

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (continued)

The Board of BJZ noted that in general BJZ performed better than its Peers in that BJZ’s performance was at or above the median of its Lipper performance universe composite in two of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.

C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Funds: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates compared with the other funds in its respective Lipper category. They also compared each Fund’s total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other comparable funds. The Boards considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.

The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided each Fund. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to each Fund and each fund the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.

The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information is available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s overall operating margin compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising closed-end funds, among other product types. The comparison indicated that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms, which concluded that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.

In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of each Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of each Fund. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high-quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards.

The Boards noted that each Fund paid contractual management fees, which do not take into account any expense reimbursement or fee waivers, lower than or equal to the median contractual management fees paid by each Fund’s Peers.

D. Economies of Scale: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of each Fund increase and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable each Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the assets of each Fund. The Boards considered that the funds in the BlackRock fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Boards also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations.

The Boards noted that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering and each fund is managed independently consistent with its own investment objectives. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its fee structure. Information provided by Lipper also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex level breakpoint structure.

E. Other Factors: The Boards also took into account other ancillary or “fallout” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from its relationship with each Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to each Fund, including for administrative, and distribution services. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other client accounts.

36 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2009

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (concluded)

In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Boards also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.

Conclusion

The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010 and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between each respective Fund, the Manager and Sub-Advisor for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. Based upon its evaluation of all these factors in their totality, the Boards, including the Independent Board Members, were satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, the Boards did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for each Fund reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

Additional Information

Dividend Policy

The Trusts’ dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net investment income to their 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

Electronic Delivery

Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Trusts’ websites 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 it is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (800) 441-7762.

The Trusts have leveraged their Common Shares, which creates risks for Common Shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of the Common Shares and the risk that fluctuations in the short-term dividend rates of the Preferred Shares, currently set at the maximum reset rate as a result of failed auctions, may affect the yield to Common Shareholders. Statements and other information herein are as dated and are subject to change.
