Dear Shareholder 

Financial markets substantially improved in 2012 as compared to the prior year, due largely to central bank intervention and considerable relief from the global turmoil seen in 2011. Although 2012 brought its share of headwinds, the strongest returns came from higher-risk asset classes as investors reached for yield in an environment of extremely low interest rates.

The year opened with investor confidence on the rise as global liquidity had been restored and financial news headlines became less daunting. Equity markets moved higher through the first two months of 2012, while climbing US Treasury yields pressured higher-quality fixed income assets. However, markets reversed course in the spring when Europe’s debt crisis boiled over once again. Political instability in Greece and severe deficit and liquidity problems in Spain raised the prospect of a euro collapse. Government borrowing costs in peripheral European countries soared while the region’s finance leaders deliberated over the fiscal integration of the currency bloc. 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. In the United States, disappointing jobs reports signaled that the recovery was losing steam. Risk assets sold off as investors retreated to safe-haven assets.

As the outlook for the global economy worsened, investors grew increasingly optimistic that the world’s largest central banks soon would intervene to stimulate growth. This theme, along with increased cooperation among finance ministers in Europe, fueled a powerful risk-asset rebound in June. In July, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) president stated that the bank would do “whatever it takes” to preserve the euro currency bloc. This assurance along with expectations for policy stimulus from central banks in Europe and the United States drove most asset classes higher through the summer. Early in September, the ECB announced its decision to support the eurozone’s troubled peripheral countries with unlimited purchases of short term sovereign debt. Days later, the US Federal Reserve announced an aggressive stimulus package involving open-ended monthly purchases of agency mortgage-backed securities.

Going into the fall, US stocks slid on lackluster corporate earnings reports and market volatility rose leading up to the US Presidential election. Global trade slowed 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, automatic tax increases and spending cuts that had been scheduled to take effect at the beginning of 2013 (known as the “fiscal cliff”) threatened to push the nation 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 budget deal prior to the deadline drove high levels of volatility in financial markets around the world in the months leading up to the last day of the year. Ultimately, the United States averted the worst of the fiscal cliff with a last-minute tax deal. Relief from US fiscal worries, however, was only partial as decisions relating to spending cuts and the debt ceiling remained pending as financial markets closed for the year.

All major asset classes generated positive returns for the 6- and 12-month periods ended December 31, 2012. Riskier assets outperformed higher quality investments as investors sought meaningful returns in a low interest rate environment. International and emerging market equities were the strongest performers. US Treasury yields were volatile, but declined overall, resulting in moderate gains for higher quality fixed income sectors. Tax-exempt municipal bonds benefited from a favorable supply-and-demand environment. Near-zero short term interest rates continued to keep yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.

The New Year brings a host of unknowns, but we believe new opportunities abound. BlackRock was built to provide the global market insight, breadth of capabilities, unbiased investment advice and deep risk management expertise these times require. With access to every asset class, geography and investment style, and extensive market intelligence, we help investors of all sizes build dynamic, diverse portfolios to achieve better, more consistent returns over time.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2012 BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.

Portfolio Management Commentary      

How did the Fund perform?

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

Relative to the benchmark index, security selection within the corporate and transportation sectors detracted from Fund performance, as did an underweight in tobacco bonds as the sector generated superior returns for the period.
The Fund benefited from its more seasoned short-dated holdings as the slope of the yield curve remained positive during the period. (A bond’s yield decreases as it approaches maturity. As yields fall, prices rise.) Sector allocation also contributed positively to relative results. The Fund’s concentrations in corporate, transportation and health bonds proved advantageous as these sectors outperformed the overall municipal market. The Fund’s yield curve positioning was another positive factor. An emphasis on longer-dated bonds was beneficial as the yield curve flattened over the period (i.e., prices on bonds with longer maturities rose more than those with intermediate maturities). A modestly long duration (higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) helped performance as interest rates declined over the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, portfolio activity remained focused on maintaining a fully invested stance in an effort to capitalize on robust market conditions. Major themes included increased exposure to the tobacco sector and continued participation in the new issue market, where better value can often be found in contrast to more seasoned issues. These new purchases were typically within the transportation, health and corporate sectors, although additional purchases involved student housing and tax-increment bonds.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

As of period end, the Fund continued to maintain its large allocations to the transportation, health and corporate sectors. The Fund held a long duration stance relative to the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index and a yield curve-flattening bias. As such, the Fund was positioned to benefit from further flattening of the municipal yield curve and a more modest compression in credit spreads.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2012 BlackRock National Municipal Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock National Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Fund’s BlackRock, Institutional, Service and Investor A Shares outperformed the benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, while Investor B and Investor B1 Shares performed in line with the benchmark, and Investor C and Investor C1 Shares underperformed the benchmark index.

What factors influenced performance?

The Fund’s slightly longer duration (higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) as compared to the benchmark index had a positive impact on performance as rates generally declined during the period. The Fund’s holdings were more concentrated on the long end of the yield curve, which benefited performance as the yield curve flattened (i.e., longer-term rates declined more than rates on shorter-dated bonds). Overweights to health, education and transportation enhanced results as those sectors outperformed the broader market during the period. The Fund’s lower-quality holdings boosted returns as credit spreads narrowed. The Fund maintained an above-industry-average coupon structure in order to maximize its income accrual, which contributed positively to total return. These higher-coupon holdings also benefited from strong demand during the period as investors sought yield in the low interest rate environment. Exposure to tender option bonds was another contributor to the Fund’s yield advantage.
Detracting from performance was the Fund’s lack of exposure to the tobacco sector, which rallied significantly during the period. Given a lack of attractive yield opportunities in the market, the Fund continued to hold cash and cash equivalents that had been reserved for defensive purposes after a period of significant market volatility and mutual fund outflows in 2011. As interest rates on cash investments remained near zero, the Fund’s cash holdings hindered relative performance while longer assets performed better in the declining rate environment.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

As municipal bond valuations generally improved during the six-month period, the Fund increased its credit quality profile by taking advantage of tighter credit quality spreads to sell some of the Fund’s lower-rated holdings. As the Fund took profits on certain positions where performance targets had been reached, the Fund’s duration moved lower. New purchases during the period were concentrated in the primary market where more generous (higher) coupon rates could be structured. The Fund’s largest exposures to single names were concentrated in the highest quality structures that were suitable for the Fund. These holdings provided better relative price appreciation and increased the Fund’s liquidity. Overall, the Fund maintained its focus on maximizing income accrual using a high-quality asset mix, while managing portfolio volatility.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

As of period end, the Fund continued to maintain a position in tender option bonds to boost current yield while the yield curve remained steep and short-term borrowing rates remained low. The Fund also continued to maintain a bias toward higher quality securities as well as a high average coupon rate, which stood at 5.80% at period end. Cash reserves remained elevated due to the limited availability of attractive yield opportunities. The Fund ended the period with a neutral duration posture relative to the S&P® Municipal Bond Index.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2012 BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

The Fund’s shorter average portfolio duration (lower sensitivity to interest rate movements) relative to the benchmark index detracted from performance as interest rates generally declined during the period. Also hindering returns was the Fund’s positioning within local bonds due to allocation decisions and security selection driven by the Fund’s high quality bias. Higher quality bonds underperformed lower quality tiers in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Conversely, yield curve positioning and sector allocation contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance. Overweights to housing and tobacco were particularly beneficial as these sectors performed well during the period. Security selection within utilities also had a positive impact.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Demand for short-duration municipal bonds was significant during the six-month period as near-zero rates on cash instruments compelled short-term investors to move further out on the yield curve. Among securities with maturities inside of four years, yields declined most dramatically in the four-year area of that range. Because the Fund is limited by its prospectus to a maximum dollar weighted maturity of no more than two years and, therefore, is limited in its ability to benefit from yield curve flattening in a declining interest rate environment, portfolio activity was focused on credit selection. The Fund sought investments in relatively higher-yielding credit sectors such as health, housing and tax-exempt corporate bonds as well as tax-backed municipal securities.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

The Fund was fully invested at period end and maintained a portfolio duration that was modestly short relative to the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2012 BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock New York Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with income exempt from federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

The Fund’s longer duration (higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) as compared to the benchmark index had a positive impact on performance as rates generally declined during the period. The Fund’s holdings were more concentrated on the long end of the yield curve, which benefited performance as the yield curve flattened (i.e., longer-term rates declined more than rates on shorter-dated bonds). Overweights to health and education enhanced results as those sectors outperformed the broader market during the period. The Fund’s lower-quality holdings also boosted returns as credit spreads narrowed.
Detracting from performance was the Fund’s exposure, although small, to Puerto Rico-related credits, which underperformed the municipal market during the period. Other exposures having a negative impact were tax-backed credits (the Fund’s largest credit exposure) and a small allocation to pre-refunded bonds as these sectors were among the weaker performers for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

The Fund maintained a long duration stance during the six-month period. There were no significant structural changes to the portfolio. Sales during the period were mostly relative value trades of liquid and lower-yielding bonds. The Fund continued to participate in the new issue market, seeking opportunities to add income or to maintain or broaden diversification as New York’s market tends to be dominated by a few large issuers. Because new issuance was relatively limited while demand for these bonds was usually high, the amounts allocated to the Fund tended to be modest and thus the Fund regularly supplemented these purchases with additions to existing credits that are more accessible.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

The Fund ended the period with a long duration bias as compared to the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

6   For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class (0.77% for Institutional, 1.03% for Investor A, 0.87% for Investor A1, 1.33% for Investor B, 1.76% for Investor C and 1.37% for Investor C1), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period shown).
7   For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class (0.70% for Institutional, 0.97% for Investor A, 0.80% for Investor A1, 1.26% for Investor B, 1.69% for Investor C and 1.30% for Investor C1), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period shown).
8   Hypothetical 5% annual return before expenses is calculated by pro rating the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by 365.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in each of the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the payable date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investment advisor reimbursed a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such reimbursement, a Fund’s performance would have been lower.

Disclosure of Expenses  

Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions, including sales charges and exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses, including advisory fees, service and distribution fees including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The expense examples on the previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2012 and held through December 31, 2012) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on the an investment in a Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund and share class under the headings entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.

The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges or exchange fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging  

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

The Funds may leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (“TOBs”), as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Funds with economic benefits during periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV per share.

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 Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Fund’s shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.

Furthermore, the value of the Funds’ portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. Changes in interest rates can influence the Funds’ NAVs positively or negatively in addition to the impact on the Fund performance from leverage.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Funds, 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 Funds’ NAVs 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 Funds’ 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 Fund’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 Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. Each Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by shareholders and may reduce income.

  


Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, 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 and/or interest rate 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 Funds’ 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 Fund to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Fund to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Funds’ 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. 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 Fund has the ability to access
     
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
     
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
       
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 Fund’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 is based on the pricing transparency of the investment is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments 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. 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 Fund has the ability to access
     
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
     
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

       
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 Fund’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 is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’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.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. 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 Fund has the ability to access
     
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
     
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

       
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 Fund’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 is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
       
The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of December 31, 2012:

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. 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 Fund has the ability to access
     
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
     
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
       
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 Fund’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 is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Financial Statements .

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund (“High Yield Municipal”), BlackRock National Municipal Fund (“National Municipal”) and BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund (“Short-Term Municipal”), of BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”), and BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund (“New York Municipal”) of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the “Trust”) (collectively, the “Funds” or individually as the “Fund”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as diversified, open-end management investment companies. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds’ 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 Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Board of Trustees of the Trust are referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”. Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. BlackRock, Institutional and Service Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A and Investor A1 Shares are generally sold with a front-end sales charge. Investor B, Investor B1, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares may be subject to a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Service, Investor A, Investor A1, Investor B, Investor B1, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares, and Investor B, Investor B1, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. For Short-Term Municipal and New York Municipal, Investor B Shares automatically convert to Investor A1 Shares after approximately 10 years. For National Municipal, Investor B Shares automatically convert to Investor A after approximately 10 years and Investor B1 Shares convert to Investor A Shares after approximately 7 years. Investor A1, Investor B, Investor B1 and Investor C1 Shares are only available through exchanges and dividend reinvestments by existing shareholders and for purchase by certain qualified employee benefit plans. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B and Investor B1 shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A and Investor A1 distribution and service plans as applicable).

Reorganization: The Board and shareholders of National Municipal and the Board and shareholders of each of BlackRock Municipal Fund of the Corporation (“Municipal”) and BlackRock AMT-Free Municipal Bond Portfolio of BlackRock Funds II (“AMT-Free Municipal”) (individually, a “Target Fund” and collectively the “Target Funds”) approved the reorganizations of each Target Fund into National Municipal pursuant to which National Municipal acquired substantially all of the assets and substantially all of the liabilities of each Target Fund in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly-issued shares of National Municipal.

Each shareholder of a Target Fund received shares of National Municipal in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of such shareholder’s Target Fund shares, as determined at the close of business on July 15, 2011, less the costs of the Target Fund’s reorganization. In connection with the reorganizations, National Municipal issued newly created BlackRock, Service and Investor B1 share classes.

The reorganizations were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of National Municipal in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratios:

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by National Municipal were recorded at fair value. However, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Funds were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of National Municipal’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets of National Municipal before the acquisition were $2,481,619,738. The aggregate net assets of National Municipal immediately after the acquisition amounted to $3,651,145,054. Each Target Fund’s fair value and cost of investments prior to the reorganization were as follows:

             
Target Fund



 
Fair Value of
Investments

 
Cost of

Municipal
       $ 697,035,650      $ 676,954,136  
AMT-Free Municipal
       $ 464,643,093      $ 448,115,532  

The purpose of these transactions was to combine three funds managed by the Manager with the same or substantially similar (but not identical) investment objectives, investment policies, strategies, risks and restrictions. Each reorganization was a tax-free event and was effective on July 18, 2011.

In connection with the reorganizations, National Municipal’s manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees and expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, in order to limit expenses. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to November 1, 2013 unless approved by the Board including a majority of the Independent Directors. The expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:

BlackRock
     
0.46%
Investor A
     
0.72%
Investor B
     
1.23%
Investor C
     
1.47%
Investor C1
     
1.28%

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on July 1, 2011, the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of National Municipal, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2012 are as follows:

 • 
  Net investment income: $173,305,533
 • 
  Net realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on investments: $328,129,422
 • 
  Net increase in net assets resulting from operations: $501,434,955

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Funds that have been included in National Municipal’s Statement of Operations since July 18, 2011.

Reorganization costs incurred in connection with the reorganization were expensed by National Municipal.

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

Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved annually by the Board of the Funds. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.

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. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. 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.

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 Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor 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

72 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2012
 
  
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)   


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 Funds’ 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.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds 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.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds 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 Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds 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 Funds’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Schedules of Investments.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs: High Yield Municipal, National Municipal and New York Municipal leverage their assets through the use of TOBs. A TOB is a special purpose entity established by a third party sponsor, into which a fund, or an agent on behalf of a fund, transfers municipal bonds into a trust (“TOB Trust”). Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Fund has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates (“TOB Trust Certificates”), which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that contributed the municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. If multiple funds participate in the same TOB, the rights and obligations under the TOB Residual will be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation.

The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right of a Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates at par plus accrued interest upon the occurrence of certain mandatory tender events defined in the TOB agreements, and (2) to transfer, subject to a specified number of days’ prior notice, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to a Fund. The TOB may also be collapsed without the consent of a Fund, as the TOB Residual holder, upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond and a judgment or ruling that interest on the municipal bond is subject to federal income taxation. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the TOB would generally be liquidated in full with the proceeds typically applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee, remarketing agent and liquidity provider, and then to the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates up to par plus accrued interest owed on the TOB Trust Certificates, with the balance paid out to the TOB Residual holder. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, no TOBs in which the Funds participated were terminated without the consent of the Funds.

The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the TOB Trust Certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund. The Fund typically invests the cash received in additional municipal bonds. Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB Trust is accounted for as a secured borrowing; therefore, the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments and the TOB Trust Certificates are shown in other liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the Funds’ payable to the holder of the TOB Trust Certificates, as reported in Statements of Assets and Liabilities as TOB Trust Certificates, approximates its fair value.

The Funds may invest in TOBs on either a non-recourse or recourse basis. TOB Trusts are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity Provider of par plus accrued interest on any business day prior to the occurrence of the termination events described above. When a Fund invests in TOBS on a non-recourse basis, and the Liquidity Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility due to a termination event, the Liquidity Provider will typically liquidate all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the TOB Trust and then fund, on a net basis, the balance, if any, of the amount owed under the liquidity facility over the liquidation proceeds (the “Liquidation Shortfall”). If a Fund invests in a TOB on a recourse basis, the Fund will typically enter into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where the Fund is required to repay the Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a Fund investing in a recourse TOB will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple funds participate in any such TOB, these losses will be shared ratably in proportion to their participation. The recourse TOB Trusts, if any, are identified in the Schedules of Investments.

Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by the Funds on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of

offering costs in the Statements of Operations. The TOB Trust Certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender such certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At December 31, 2012, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for TOB Trust Certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for TOB Trust Certificates were as follows:

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Funds’ average TOB Trust Certificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate, including fees, were as follows:




 
Average TOB Trust
Certificates
Outstanding

 
Daily Weighted
Average

       $ 39,538,668       0.87
National Municipal
       $ 481,308,132       0.71
New York Municipal
       $ 23,117,632       0.82

Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Funds’ net investment income and dividends to shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Funds’ NAVs per share.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Funds either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Funds 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 Fund 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. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets. Consent fees are compensation for agreeing to changes in the terms of debt instruments and are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.

Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended June 30, 2012. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management 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 Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses pro rated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Funds have an arrangement with their respective 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 custodians impose fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)   

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as interest 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 Funds’ 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 Funds 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 Funds do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written obligate the Funds to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.

The Funds 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 Fund and each of its respective counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement allows each Fund 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 Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds 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 Funds manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

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

Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds 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). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and 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 Funds 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 Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Funds 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.

Options: Certain Funds purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including 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 Funds purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Funds 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 Funds enter into a closing transaction), the Funds 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 Funds write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Funds hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Funds write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

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

3. Administration 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”).

The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund.

For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage each Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

High Yield Municipal:

        0.475     0.350
Greater than $550 Million
        0.475     0.325
2   The portion of the assets of a Fund to which the rate of each breakpoint level applies will be determined on a “uniform percentage” basis. The uniform percentage applicable to a breakpoint level is determined by dividing the amount of the aggregate average daily net assets of the two combined Funds that falls within that breakpoint level by the aggregate average daily net assets of the two combined Funds. The amount of the fee for a Fund at each breakpoint level is determined by multiplying the average daily net assets of that Fund by the uniform percentage applicable to that breakpoint level and multiplying the product by the advisory fee rate.

New York Municipal: 0.55%.

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fees payable by New York Municipal, which is included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations, so that such fee is reduced for average daily net assets of the Fund as follows:

6. Borrowings:

The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, are parties to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders. The Funds may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective November 2011 to November 2012, the credit agreement had the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.065% per annum based on each Fund’s pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Funds paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Funds based on their net assets as of October 31, 2011. The credit agreement, which expired in November 2012, was renewed with the same terms until November 2013. Effective November 2012 to November 2013, the credit agreement has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.065% per annum based on the Funds’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Funds paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Funds based on their net assets as of October 31, 2012. The Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)   

7. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

New York Municipal invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see New York Municipal’s Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific states.

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

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

As of December 31, 2012, High Yield Municipal invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the health sector. National Municipal invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the health and utilities sectors. Short-Term Municipal invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the state and county/city/special district/school district sectors. New York Municipal invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the county/city/special district/school district sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the health, county/city/special district/school district, state and utilities sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities. The Funds may hold a significant amount of bonds subject to calls by the issuers at defined dates and prices. When bonds are called by issuers and the Funds reinvest the proceeds received, such investments may be in securities with lower yields than the bonds originally held, and correspondingly, could adversely impact the yield and total return performance of a fund.
