BURKE TITLE TREASURER EX-99.77B ACCT LTTR 3 mb77b.txt INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Shareholders, Merrill Lynch Municipal Bond Fund, Inc.: In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Merrill Lynch Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") (comprising, respectively, the Insured, National and Limited Maturity Portfolios) for the year ended June 30, 2001 (on which we have issued our report dated August 17, 2001), we considered its internal control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on the Fund's internal control. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our consideration of the Fund's internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving the Fund's internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of June 30, 2001. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board of Directors and Shareholders of the Fund, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP August 17, 2001 EX-99.77M MERGERS 4 mbn77m.txt The National Portfolio of Merrill Lynch Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. File No. 811-2688 Item No. 77M (Mergers) -- Attachment During the fiscal semi-annual period ending June 30, 2001, the National Portfolio (the "Registrant"), a series of Merrill Lynch Municipal Bond Fund, Inc., acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of Merrill Lynch Arkansas Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Arkansas Fund"), Merrill Lynch Colorado Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Colorado Fund"), and Merrill Lynch New Mexico Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the "New Mexico Fund"), each a series of Merrill Lynch Multi- State Municipal Series Trust ("Municipal Series Trust"), File No. 811-4375, (collectively, the "State Funds"). At meetings of the Boards of Directors of the Registrant and the Boards of Trustees of Municipal Series Trust, the Board of Directors and Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization referred collectively to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of each State Fund by the Registrant and the simultaneous distribution of newly-issued shares of the National Portfolio to each State Fund and the subsequent distribution of these newly-issued shares of the National Portfolio by each State Fund to its respective shareholders. On March 26, 2001, in connection with the Reorganization, the Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form N-14 (File No.333-57634; the "N-14 Registration Statement"). The N-14 Registration Statement contained the proxy materials soliciting the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by the shareholders of the State Funds. Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the N-14 Registration Statement was filed on March 27, 2001, and the N-14 Registration Statement as so amended was declared effective by the Commission on April 26, 2001. On July 13, 2001, the shareholders of the Registrant and the State Funds approved the Reorganization at a special meeting of shareholders held for that purpose. On July 23, 2001, the "Reorganization Date," pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, The Arkansas Fund transferred securities and cash valued at $3,215,515.68 to the Registrant and received in exchange 315,566 newly- issued shares of the Registrant; The Colorado Fund transferred securities and cash valued at $9,447,405.29 to the Registrant and received in exchange 927,119 newly- issued shares of the Registrant; The New Mexico Fund transferred securities and cash valued at $2,580,268.18 to the Registrant and received in exchange 253,211 newly- issued shares of the Registrant; and the State Funds distributed these shares to their respective shareholders as provided in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. The State Funds ceased offering shares as of the Reorganization effective date. EX-99.77O RULE 10F-3 5 mbins77o.htm 10F-3 TRANSACTIONS
