2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013

Dear Shareholder

Despite a number of headwinds, risk assets generated strong returns during the 6- and 12-month periods as investors sought meaningful yields in the ongoing low-interest-rate environment. About this time one year ago, the European debt crisis returned to the headlines as unresolved policy decisions left it unclear as to how troubled peripheral countries would finance their sovereign debt, causing yields to soar. In the second quarter of 2012, political instability in Greece and severe deficit and liquidity problems in Spain raised the specter of a full-blown euro collapse. Alongside the drama in Europe, investors were discouraged by gloomy economic reports from various parts of the world. A slowdown in China, a key powerhouse for global growth, emerged as a particular concern. As the outlook for the global economy worsened, however, investors grew increasingly optimistic that the world’s largest central banks would soon intervene to stimulate growth. This theme, along with the announcement of the European Central Bank’s (“ECB’s”) firm commitment to preserve the euro currency bloc, drove most asset classes higher through the summer. Policy relief came in early September, when the ECB announced its decision to support the eurozone’s debt-laden countries with unlimited purchases of short term sovereign debt. Days later, the US Federal Reserve announced its own much-anticipated stimulus package.

Although financial markets world-wide were buoyed by accommodative monetary policies, risk assets weakened in the fall. Global trade began to slow as many European countries fell into recession and growth continued to decelerate in China, where a once-a-decade leadership change compounded uncertainty. In the United States, stocks slid on lackluster corporate earnings reports and market volatility rose in advance of the US Presidential election. In the post-election environment, investors grew increasingly concerned over the “fiscal cliff,” the automatic tax increases and spending cuts that had been scheduled to take effect at the beginning of 2013. There was widespread fear that the fiscal cliff would push the United States into recession unless politicians could agree upon alternate measures to reduce the deficit before the end of 2012. Worries that bipartisan gridlock would preclude a timely budget deal triggered higher levels of volatility in financial markets around the world in the months leading up to the last day of the year. Ultimately, the worst of the fiscal cliff was averted with a last-minute tax deal; however, decisions relating to spending cuts and the debt ceiling continued to weigh on investors’ minds.

Investors shook off the nerve-wracking finale to 2012 and began the New Year with a powerful equity rally. Money that had been pulled to the sidelines amid year-end tax-rate uncertainty poured back into the markets in January. Key indicators signaled modest but broad-based improvements in the world’s major economies, particularly in China. Global equities soared through January while rising US Treasury yields pressured high-quality fixed income assets. However, bond markets strengthened in February when economic momentum slowed and investors toned down their risk appetite. US stocks continued to rise, but at a more moderate pace. Uncertainty about how long the Federal Reserve would maintain its easing bias drove high levels of volatility later in the month, but these fears abated as the budget sequester (automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect March 1) began to appear imminent and was deemed likely to deter any near-term curtailment of monetary easing policies. Outside the United States, equities largely declined as political uncertainty escalated after the Italian presidential election ended in a stalemate.

On the whole, riskier asset classes outperformed lower-risk investments for the 6- and 12-month periods ended February 28, 2013. International, US small cap and emerging market equities were the leading asset classes for the 6-month period, while US stocks and high yield bonds generated the strongest returns for the 12-month period. US Treasury yields remained relatively low overall, but have inched higher in recent months, pressuring Treasuries and investment-grade bonds. Tax-exempt municipal bonds, however, continued to benefit from favorable supply-and-demand dynamics. Near-zero short term interest rates continued to keep yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.

Investors continue to face many of the same risks as in years past. But we see a world of possibilities. BlackRock was built to provide the global market insight, breadth of capabilities, unbiased investment advice and deep risk management expertise these times require. Investors everywhere are asking, “So what do I do with my money?” Visit www.blackrock.com for answers.

Trust Summary as of February 28, 2013 BlackRock Core Bond Trust

Trust Overview

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-month period ended February 28, 2013, the Trust returned 0.49% based on market price and 3.30% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Corporate BBB-Rated Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 4.48% based on market price and 5.05% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount 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?

• Spread sectors outperformed government-related debt for the six-month period as accommodative monetary policy in the United States and Europe along with the continued recovery of the US economy drove credit spreads tighter. The Trust’s allocations to high yield and investment grade corporate credit were significant contributors to performance during the period. In particular, the Trust’s preference for banking, insurance and communication-related names contributed meaningfully to returns.

• Additionally, the Trust benefited from its exposure to structured products including commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”).

• As interest rates generally trended higher during the period, the Trust’s duration profile (sensitivity to interest rate movements) detracted from performance, as did its yield curve positioning.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• During the six-month period, the Trust maintained a positive view on spread sectors and increased exposure to high yield credit and securitized products such as CMBS and ABS. Within investment grade credit, the Trust favored financials and industrials over utilities. In financials, the Trust rotated out of senior bank debt into subordinated bank debt to take advantage of the yield differential. In addition, the Trust added to positions in floating rate preferred securities to benefit from a potential rise in interest rates. Finally, the Trust shortened its duration profile in light of expectations that positive economic data may lead to a gradual increase in interest rates.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• At period end, the Trust maintained diversified exposure to non-government spread sectors, including investment grade credit, high yield corporate credit, CMBS, ABS and non-agency residential MBS. The Trust also held allocations to government-related sectors such as US Treasuries, US agency debt and agency MBS.

Trust Summary as of February 28, 2013 BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund V, Inc.

Trust Overview

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-month period ended February 28, 2013, the Trust returned 1.78% based on market price and 9.62% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Yield Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 4.30% based on market price and 8.66% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a premium to NAV to a discount 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?

• Security selection among the lower quality tiers of high yield credit had a positive impact on performance. From an industry perspective, holdings within gaming, automotive and building materials boosted returns. The Trust’s exposure to select common stocks and preferred securities also enhanced results.

• Detracting from performance was security selection within middle quality tier credits, as well as within non-rated securities. On an industry basis, selection in metals, paper and wireless impaired results. The Trust’s tactical allocation to floating rate loan interests (bank loans) hindered relative performance as the asset class underperformed high yield bonds during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• The Trust maintained its focus on higher-quality income-oriented credit names with stable fundamentals, good earnings/revenue visibility and an attractive coupon rate. The Trust remained generally cautious of cyclical credits that tend to be more vulnerable to slower economic growth and bouts of weakness, but allowed some risk in companies with positive growth catalysts or idiosyncratic characteristics. Also during the period, the Trust increased exposure to floating rate loan interests as valuations appeared increasingly attractive relative to certain segments of the high yield universe such as higher-quality short-dated paper.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• At period end, the Trust held 73% of its total portfolio in corporate bonds and 19% in floating rate loan interests, with the remainder in common stocks and preferred stocks. The Trust held its largest industry exposures in healthcare, wirelines and consumer services (housing-related), while reflecting less emphasis on the riskier, more volatile segments of the market such as the banking sector and supermarkets and restaurants industries.

On an industry basis, selection in metals, paper and wireless impaired results. The Trust’s tactical allocation to floating rate loan interests (bank loans) hindered relative performance as the asset class underperformed high yield bonds during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• The Trust maintained its focus on higher-quality income-oriented credit names with stable fundamentals, good earnings/revenue visibility and an attractive coupon rate. The Trust remained generally cautious of cyclical credits that tend to be more vulnerable to slower economic growth and bouts of weakness, but allowed some risk in companies with positive growth catalysts or idiosyncratic characteristics. Also during the period, the Trust increased exposure to floating rate loan interests as valuations appeared increasingly attractive relative to certain segments of the high yield universe such as higher-quality short-dated paper.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• At period end, the Trust held 76% of its total portfolio in corporate bonds and 19% in floating rate loan interests, with the remainder in common stocks and preferred securities. The Trust held its largest industry exposures in healthcare, media non-cable and wireless, while reflecting less emphasis on the riskier, more volatile segments of the market such as the banking sector and supermarkets and restaurants industries.

Trust Overview

BlackRock Income Opportunity Trust, Inc.’s (BNA) (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-month period ended February 28, 2013, the Trust returned (0.39)% based on market price and 3.33% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Corporate BBB-Rated Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 4.48% based on market price and 5.05% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened 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 accommodative monetary policy in the United States and Europe along with the continued recovery of the US economy drove credit spreads tighter. The Trust’s allocations to high yield and investment grade corporate credit were significant contributors to performance during the period. In particular, the Trust’s preference for banking, insurance and communication-related names contributed meaningfully to returns.

• Additionally, the Trust benefited from its exposure to structured products including commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”).

• As interest rates generally trended higher during the period, the Trust’s duration profile (sensitivity to interest rate movements) detracted from performance, as did its yield curve positioning.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• During the six-month period, the Trust maintained a positive view on spread sectors and increased exposure to high yield credit and securitized products such as CMBS and ABS. Within investment grade credit, the Trust favored financials and industrials over utilities. In financials, the Trust rotated out of senior bank debt into subordinated bank debt to take advantage of the yield differential. In addition, the Trust added to positions in floating rate preferred securities to benefit from a potential rise in interest rates. Finally, the Trust shortened its duration profile in light of expectations that positive economic data may lead to a gradual increase in interest rates.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• At period end, the Trust maintained diversified exposure to non-government spread sectors, including investment grade credit, high yield corporate credit, CMBS, ABS and non-agency residential MBS. The Trust also held allocations to government-related sectors such as US Treasuries, US agency debt and agency MBS.

Trust Overview

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-month period ended February 28, 2013, the Trust returned (3.47)% based on market price and (0.60)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper US Mortgage Funds category posted an average return of 5.02% based on market price and 6.93% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened 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 Trust’s focus on high quality agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) detracted from returns as the sector lagged other credit-sensitive fixed income assets during a period of rising interest rates. It should be noted that the Lipper US Mortgage Funds category experienced a wide dispersion of returns primarily determined by the extent to which a fund allocated to non-agency residential MBS.

• Also detracting from performance during the period was the Trust’s yield curve positioning. Exposure to the long end of the US Treasury curve hurt returns as the yield curve steepened and interest rates moved higher in early 2013.

• Contributing positively to performance was the Trust’s leveraged exposure to agency pass-through MBS, despite uncertainty around how long the US Federal Reserve would maintain its accommodative monetary policy programs. Further enhancing performance was the Trust’s positioning within the agency MBS coupon range, where heavier weightings in middle- and high-coupon issues proved beneficial. Higher coupons outperformed as rising interest rates led to reduced prepayment risk, making these issues more appealing to mortgage market participants.

• 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 were beneficial to the Trust’s performance during certain periods of rising interest rates.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• During the six-month period, the economy continued to show signs of growth despite higher tax rates and reduced government spending. As the economy’s resilience coupled with an improving housing market could cause interest rates to gradually move higher, the Trust increased exposure to agency MBS while reducing its strategic exposure to long-term US Treasuries.

• The Trust maintained a strong level of yield by increasing exposure to stable-cash-flow collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), which tend to outperform pass-through agency MBS in a rising interest rate environment. The Trust also continued to maintain small allocations to commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and non-agency residential MBS, which have performed well primarily due to improving underlying fundamentals.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• Despite higher prices in agency MBS, the backdrop for the sector continued to appear constructive given the presence of the US Federal Reserve’s large asset purchase program, which has the effect of limiting net supply and is supportive of valuations. However, the Trust continued to maintain a cautious stance as prepayment risk for higher-coupon agency MBS still remains high as borrowers organically take advantage of historically low mortgage rates. As of period end, the Trust maintained leveraged exposure to high quality agency MBS with varying maturities and coupon rates. The Trust continued to hold positions in intermediate and longer dated stable-cash-flow CMOs as well as small allocations to non-agency MBS and CMBS.

Trust Overview

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.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

• For the six-month period ended February 28, 2013, the Trust returned 7.60% based on market price and 6.12% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Yield Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 4.30% based on market price and 8.66% based on NAV. 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 following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

• Security selection within investment-grade credits had a positive impact on performance. From an industry perspective, holdings within gaming, non-captive diversified (consumer credit-related businesses) and wirelines boosted returns. The Trust’s exposure to select equity positions also enhanced results.

• Detracting from performance was security selection within middle quality tier credits, where the Trust held its quality bias. On an industry basis, selection in metals, paper and wireless impaired results. The Trust’s tactical allocation to floating rate loan interests (bank loans) hindered relative performance as the asset class underperformed high yield bonds during the period.

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 through a credit facility, by entering into reverse repurchase agreements and/or treasury roll transactions. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by 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’ debt securities 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 28, 2013, 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		31	%
HYV		29	%
HYT		28	%
HIS		26	%
BHY		27	%
BNA		31	%
BKT		30	%
BHD		21	%

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 security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The 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.

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

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the 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.

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

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the 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.

⁷ Investment is valued based on the company’s financial restructuring plan.

⁸ The Trust fair values certain of its Level 3 investments using prior transaction prices (acquisition cost), although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. In such cases, these investments are generally privately held investments. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate. Valuations are reviewed utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Trust.

Consolidated Schedule of Investments (continued) BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund VI, Inc. (HYT)

• 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)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the 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 table summarizes the valuation techniques used and unobservable inputs developed by the Global Valuation Committee to determine the value of certain of the Trust’s Level 3 investments as of February 28, 2013. The table does not include Level 3 investments with values derived utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. A significant change in third party pricing information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of such Level 3 investments. The value of Level 3 investments derived using third party pricing information is $19,957,170.

¹ A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:

Unobservable Input	Impact to Value if Input Increases	Impact to Value if Input Decreases
EBITDA Multiple	Increase	Decrease
Enterprise Value/Oil Barrel Multiple	Increase	Decrease
Yield	Decrease	Increase
Distribution Rate	Decrease	Increase
Implied Volatility	Increase	Decrease

² Canadian Dollar.

³ Investment is valued based on the company’s financial restructuring plan.

⁴ The Trust fair values certain of its Level 3 investments using prior transaction prices (acquisition cost), although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. In such cases, these investments are generally privately held investments. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate. Valuations are reviewed utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Trust.

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

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the 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 table summarizes the valuation techniques used and unobservable inputs developed by the Global Valuation Committee to determine the value of certain of the Trust’s Level 3 investments as of February 28, 2013. The table does not include Level 3 investments with values derived utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. A significant change in third party pricing information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of such Level 3 investments. The value of Level 3 investments derived using third party pricing information is $5,912,283.

¹ A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:

Unobservable Input	Impact to Value if Input Increases	Impact to Value if Input Decreases
EBITDA Multiple	Increase	Decrease
Recovery Rate	Increase	Decrease
Yield	Decrease	Increase

² Investment is valued based on the company’s financial restructuring plan.

³ The Trust fair values certain of its Level 3 investments using prior transaction prices (acquisition cost), although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. In such cases, these investments are generally privately held investments. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate. Valuations are reviewed utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Trust.

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

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

⁵ A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:

Unobservable Input	Impact to Value if Input Increases	Impact to Value if Input Decreases
Recovery Rate	Increase	Decrease
Yield	Decrease	Increase

⁶ Investment is valued based on the company’s financial restructuring plan.

⁷ The Trust fair values certain of its Level 3 investments using prior transaction prices (acquisition cost), although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. In such cases, these investments are generally privately held investments. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate. Valuations are reviewed utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Trust.

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

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the 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 Trust pays the floating rate and receives the fixed rate.

² Trust pays the fixed interest rate and receives the floating rate.

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

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the 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.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended February 28, 2013.

Certain of the Trust’s investments are categorized as Level 3 and were valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. Such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in the unobservable inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher value in such Level 3 investments.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Trust had a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets. The following table is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value:

¹ Trust pays the fixed rate and receives the floating rate.

• 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 to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

• Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the 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 As of August 31, 2012, the Trust used observable inputs in determining the value of certain investments. As of February 28, 2013, the Trust used significant unobservable inputs in determining the value of the same investments. As a result, investments with a beginning of period value of $1,117,535 transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 in the disclosure hierarchy.

² As of August 31, 2012, the Trust used significant unobservable inputs in determining the value of certain investments. As of February 28, 2013, the Trust used observable inputs in determining the value of the same investments. As a result, investments with a beginning of period value of $400,306 transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 in the disclosure hierarchy.

³ Included in the related net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation in the Statements of Operations. The change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments still held as of February 28, 2013 was $265,255.

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used and unobservable inputs developed by the Global Valuation Committee to determine the value of certain of the Trust’s Level 3 investments as of February 28, 2013. The table does not include Level 3 investments with values derived utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. A significant change in third party pricing information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of such Level 3 investments. The value of Level 3 investments derived using third party pricing information is $3,641,613.

	Value		Valuation Techniques	Unobservable Inputs4	Range of Unobservable Inputs Utilized
Assets:
Common Stocks	$	33,697	Restructure Terms5	N/A	—
Floating Rate Loan Interests		269,558	Discounted Cash Flow	Yield	9.50%
		750,000	Cost6	N/A	—
Total	$	1,053,255

⁴ A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:

Unobservable Input	Impact to Value if Input Increases	Impact to Value if Input Decreases
Yield	Decrease	Increase

⁵ Investment is valued based on the company’s financial restructuring plan.

⁶ The Trust fair values certain of its Level 3 investments using prior transaction prices (acquisition cost), although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. In such cases, these investments are generally privately held investments. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate. Valuations are reviewed utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Trust.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)  

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 of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Boards of Directors and 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 of HYV and HYT include the accounts of BLK HYV (Luxembourg) Investments, S.a.r.l. and BLK HYT (Luxembourg) Investments, S.a.r.l. (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”), which are wholly owned taxable subsidiaries of the Trusts which hold shares of private Canadian companies, Larcina Energy Ltd. and Osum Oil Sands Corp. 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 Subsidiaries may be taxable to such subsidiaries in Luxembourg. A tax provision for income, if any, is shown as income tax on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. A tax provision for income from realized and unrealized gains, if any, is included as a reduction of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Taxable Subsidiaries are 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 determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The Global Valuation Committee is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Trusts for all financial instruments.

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 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

136 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that 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 Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deem relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. A market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trusts’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

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

Foreign Currency: The 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 that 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 in 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. In addition, the Trusts may have to subsequently reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If the Trusts have 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 (the “Mortgage Assets”). 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

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013 137

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 an 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 Assets, the payments on which are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Classes of CMOs include interest only (“IOs”), principal only (“POs”), planned amortization classes and targeted amortization classes. IOs and POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the rate at which the principal is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. If the underlying Mortgage Assets experience greater than anticipated pre-payments of principal, the Trusts 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. The 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 stock. 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 the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the prime rate offered by one or more US banks or

138 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 a general creditor 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 short sales of bonds. Earnings on cash collateral and compensation to the lender of the bond are based on agreed upon rates between the Trust 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 they do not hold in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When the Trusts make a short sale, they will borrow the security sold short (borrowed bond) and deliver the security to the counterparty to which they 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 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 either less than or greater 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. The 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

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013 139

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 realize 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 sell securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agree to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at face value including accrued interest. Due to the short-term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. During the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, the Trusts continue to receive the principal and interest payments on these securities. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. The Trusts may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the 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 each Trust either delivers collateral or segregates 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, treasury roll transactions and loan payable), each Trust will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, a Trust engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral for certain investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. 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.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The portion of distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Distributions in excess of a Trust’s taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of a Trust’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Capital losses carried forward from years beginning before 2011 do not reduce earnings and profits, even if such carried forward losses offset current year realized gains. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.

140 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 the Trust’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended August 31, 2012. The statutes of limitations on each Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Recent Accounting Standards: In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements, which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies which investments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements. The scope of the disclosure requirements for offsetting will be limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. 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 Plan: Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Trust’s Board, the 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 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 Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust. Deferred compensation liabilities are included in Officer’s and Trustees’ fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Trusts until such amounts are distributed in accordance with the Plan.

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/or to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk or foreign currency exchange rate 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 and not the counterparty to perform. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options and centrally cleared swaps is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.

The 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 they believe 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), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013 141

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

(foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Trusts and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the 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 variation margin 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 or foreign currency exchange 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 Trusts 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 the 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 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 Trusts enter into a closing transaction), the Trusts realize a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the 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 (receipts from the foreign currency purchased). 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 either to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Trusts face the CCP through a future commission merchant. Unlike a bilateral swap agreement, for centrally cleared swaps, the Trusts have no credit exposure to the counterparty as the CCP stands between the Trusts and the counterparty. 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 are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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

142 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 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 protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection 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, 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.

•   Forward interest rate swaps — The Trusts enter into forward interest rate swaps 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). In a forward interest rate swap, each Trust and the counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional contract amount, commencing on a specified future effective date, unless terminated earlier. The Trusts generally intend to close each forward interest rate swap before the effective date specified in the agreement and therefore avoid entering into the interest rate swap underlying each forward interest rate swap.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).

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 for each Trust and administration services for BHK, HYV, HYT, HIS and BHD.

The following Trusts’ investment advisory fee paid to the Manager is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Trust’s average total assets (including any assets attributable to borrowings) minus the sum of total liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage):

BHK	0.55%
HIS	0.75% of the first $200 million and 0.50% thereafter
BHY	0.90%
BHD	0.75%

The following Trusts’ investment advisory fee paid to the Manager is computed daily and payable monthly on an annual rate of each Trust’s average total assets (including any assets attributable to borrowings) minus the sum of total liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage):

HYV	0.60	%
HYT	0.70	%

The following Trusts’ investment advisory fee paid to the Manager is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Trust’s average net assets:

BNA	0.60	%
BKT	0.65	%

BHY, BNA and BKT each have an Administration Agreement with the Manager. 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.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013 145

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of investment advisory fee with respect to BHK at an annual rate of 0.03%, as a percentage of average weekly net assets. This voluntary waiver may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice. For the six months ended February 28, 2013, the Manager waived the following amount, which is included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations:

BHK $ 90,381

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 in connection with each Trust’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended February 28, 2013, the amounts waived were as follows:

BHK	$	779
HYV	$	511
HYT	$	481
HIS	$	212
BHY	$	199
BNA	$	543
BKT	$	1,707
BHD	$	202

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

The Manager entered into a 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 a portion of the compensation paid to the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in Officer and Trustees in the Statements of Operations.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2013 147

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

6. Borrowings:

HYV, HYT, HIS, BHY and BHD were party to 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 Amounts
HYV	$	204,500,000
HYT	$	213,800,000
HIS	$	63,600,000
BHY	$	23,000,000
BHD	$	50,200,000

Prior to March 1, 2013, advances were 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.

On March 1, 2013, the SSB Agreement was renewed and amended from a 364-day revolving line of credit to a 360-day rolling facility whereby SSB may elect to terminate its commitment upon 360-days written notice to the Trusts anytime after February 24, 2014. Advances will be 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.

In addition, the Trusts pay a facility fee and utilization fee (based on the daily unused portion of the commitments.) The commitment fees are waived if the Trusts meet certain conditions. 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 28, 2013 are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as loan payable. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and the variable interest rate, the carrying amount of the borrowings approximates fair value.

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 borrowings is less than 300%.

For the six months ended February 28, 2013, the daily weighted average interest rates for Trusts with loans under the revolving credit agreements were as follows:

	Daily Weighted Average Interest Rate
HYV	0.94%
HYT	0.94%
HIS	0.94%
BHY	0.94%
BHD1	0.94%

¹ Includes treasury roll transactions.

For the six months ended February 28, 2013, the daily weighted average interest rates for Trusts with borrowings, which include reverse repurchase agreements and treasury roll transactions, were as follows:

	Daily Weighted Average Interest Rate
BHK	0.27%
BNA	0.28%
BKT	0.26%

7. Commitments:

Certain Trusts may invest in floating rate loan interests. In connection with these investments, the Trusts may also enter into bridge loan commitments (“commitments”). Bridge loan commitments may obligate the Trusts to furnish temporary financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. As of February 28, 2013, the Trusts had no outstanding bridge loan commitments. 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. Commitment fees received in advance and unrecognized are recorded in 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 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.

10. Subsequent Events:

Management’s evaluation of the impact of all subsequent events on the Trusts’ financial statements was completed through the date the financial statements were issued and the following items were noted:

The Trusts paid a net investment income dividend in the following amounts per share on March 28, 2013 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2013:

	Common Dividend Per Share
BHK	$	0.0730
HYV	$	0.0900

HIS	$	0.0152
BHY	$	0.0445
BNA	$	0.0570
BKT	$	0.0405
BHD	$	0.0845

Additionally, the Trusts declared a net investment income dividend on April 1, 2013 payable to shareholders of record on April 15, 2013 for the same amounts noted above.

Additional Information

Regulation Regarding Derivatives

Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to registered investment companies to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its net assets in CFTC-regulated futures, options and swaps (“CFTC Derivatives”), or if a fund markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. To the extent a Trust uses CFTC-regulated futures, options and swaps, it intends to do so below such prescribed levels and will not market itself as a “commodity pool” or a vehicle for trading such instruments. Accordingly, BlackRock Advisors, LLC has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) pursuant to Rule 4.5 under the CEA. BlackRock Advisors, LLC is not, therefore, subject to registration or regulation as a “commodity pool operator” under the CEA in respect to each Trust.

A Trust may also have investments in “underlying funds” not advised by BlackRock (which for purposes of the no-action letter referenced below may include certain securitized vehicles and/or mortgage REITS that may invest in CFTC Derivatives). BlackRock Advisors, LLC has no transparency into the holdings of these underlying funds because they are not advised by BlackRock. To address this issue of lack of transparency, the CFTC staff issued a no-action letter on November 29, 2012 permitting the adviser of a fund that invests in such underlying funds and that would otherwise have filed a claim of exclusion pursuant to Rule 4.5, to delay registration as a “commodity pool operator” until June 30, 2013 or six months from the date in which the CFTC issues additional guidance on the treatment of CFTC Derivatives held by underlying funds. BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the adviser of the Trusts, has filed a claim with the CFTC to rely on this no-action relief.

Additional Information (continued)

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 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 portion of dividend distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Dividend distributions in excess of a Trust’s taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of a Trust’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a nontaxable return of capital. 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.

Additional Information (continued)

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. 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) 882-0052.

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.
