JUNE 30, 2010



Dear Shareholder

Although overall global economic and financial conditions have generally improved over the past year, the past several months have seen high levels of mar-

ket volatility and diminishing investor confidence sparked by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and mixed economic data that have raised concerns over

the possibility that some economies could slide back into recession. Despite the uneven nature of recent market conditions, we continue to believe that the

“Great Recession” likely ended at some point last summer, thanks primarily to massive fiscal and monetary stimulus, and that the global economy remains

in recovery mode for most regions of the world. Regarding the US economy, we believe it is unlikely that the United States will experience a “double dip”

recession, although we acknowledge that subpar growth is likely to persist for some time.

Global equity markets bottomed in early 2009 and since that time have moved unevenly higher as investors were lured back into the markets by depressed

valuations, desire for higher yields and improvements in corporate earnings prospects. Volatility levels, however, have remained elevated — primarily as a

result of uneven economic data and lingering deflation issues (especially in Europe). As the period drew to a close, equity markets had endured a signifi-

cant correction that drove stock prices into negative territory on a year-to-date basis in almost every market. Over a 12-month basis, however, global equi-

ties posted positive returns thanks to improving corporate revenues and profits and a reasonably strong macro backdrop. From a geographic perspective,

US equities have significantly outpaced their international counterparts over the past six and twelve months, as the domestic economic recovery has been

more pronounced and as credit-related issues have held European markets down. Within the United States, smaller cap stocks have noticeably outper-

formed large caps.

In fixed income markets, yields have been moving unevenly over the past six and twelve months as improving economic conditions have been acting to

push Treasury yields higher (and prices correspondingly lower), while concerns over ongoing deflation threats have acted as a counterweight. As the period

drew to a close, however, Treasury yields fell sharply as investors flocked to the “safe haven” asset class in the face of escalating uncertainty. As a result, US

Treasuries became one of the world’s best-performing asset classes on a six-month basis. High yield bonds have also continued to perform well, thanks in

large part to ongoing high levels of investor demand. Meanwhile, municipal bonds performed in line with their taxable counterparts on a 12-month basis,

but slightly underperformed over the last six months as investors rotated to the relative safety of Treasuries.

Regarding cash investments, yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows (producing returns only marginally above zero percent), with

the Federal Open Market Committee reiterating that economic circumstances are likely to necessitate an accommodative interest rate stance for an

“extended period.”

Against this backdrop, the major market averages posted the following returns:     
Total Returns as of June 30, 2010  6-month  12-month 
US equities (S&P 500 Index)  (6.65)%  14.43% 
Small cap US equities (Russell 2000 Index)  (1.95)  21.48 
International equities (MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East Index)  (13.23)  5.92 
3-month Treasury bill (BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill Index)  0.05  0.16 
US Treasury securities (BofA Merrill Lynch 10-Year US Treasury Index)  9.36  8.20

Tax-exempt fixed income (Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index)  3.31  9.61 
High yield bonds (Barclays Capital US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index)  4.45  26.66 

 

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Index performance shown for illustrative purposes only. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Although conditions are certainly better than they were a couple of years ago, global financial markets continue to face high volatility and questions about

the strength and sustainability of the recovery abound. Through periods of uncertainty, as ever, BlackRock’s full resources are dedicated to the management

of our clients’ assets. For additional market perspective and investment insight, visit www.blackrock.com/shareholdermagazine, where you’ll find the most

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2010  BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund 
Portfolio Management Commentary   

 

How did the Fund perform?
Effective October 28, 2009, the Fund changed its primary benchmark
from the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index to the S&P/Investortools
Main Municipal Bond Index and also added the S&P/Investortools
Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index as a secondary benchmark. The
S&P/Investortools benchmarks provide a closer representation of the
Fund’s investable universe than the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index
and more accurately reflect the investment strategy of the Fund.

For the 12-month period, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark,
the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index, its secondary bench-
mark, the S&P/Investortools Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index, and its
former benchmarks, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and the
Barclays Capital 3-Year General Obligation Bond Index. The following dis-
cussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary bench-
mark, the S&P/Investortools Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

As the Fund has a shorter permissible weighted average maturity than the
index, it will generally underperform during periods of falling interest rates
and outperform during periods of rising rates. During this reporting period,
yields on municipal securities fell while the yield curve remained steep.
Against this backdrop, the Fund’s shorter average portfolio duration con-
tributed to its underperformance of the index. Our bias toward higher qual-
ity also detracted, as lower-rated issues outperformed for the period.

Conversely, the Fund’s fully invested position and exposure to issues with
maturities of 3 and 4 years, which outperformed shorter-term issues, made
positive contributions to performance.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
During the reporting period, we focused on maintaining minimal cash
reserves given the unattractive yields offered by liquidity instruments.
Investor demand for short-term municipal bonds forced yields on securities
with maturities under five years to historic lows. We sought to capitalize on
the steepness of the curve by purchasing lower-quality, higher-yielding
issues in the 3- to 4-year portion of the curve, although supply was limited
and generally in high demand. Also during the period, we increased the
Fund’s exposure to essential service revenue bonds, including issues from
monopolistic service providers such as public power and electric utilities,
airports and health care. Based on guidance from our internal credit
research team, we were also able to identify other suitable investment
opportunities in various sectors throughout the period.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.

At period end, the Fund remained positioned for a prolonged period of low
short-term interest rates. We continue to maintain minimal cash reserves
while seeking investment opportunities that offer higher yields with a com-
pelling credit profile. The Fund’s duration remains slightly below neutral and
average credit quality remains high, reflecting our efforts to limit portfolio
volatility and credit risk. While we do not expect interest rates to rise in the
foreseeable future, we remain cautious about “reaching for yield” in the
current environment.

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 June 30, 2010 BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
Effective October 28, 2009, the Fund changed its primary benchmark
from the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index to the S&P/Investortools
Main Municipal Bond Index and also added the S&P/Investortools
Customized Insured Municipal Bond Index as a secondary benchmark. The
S&P/Investortools benchmarks provide a closer representation of the
Fund’s investable universe than the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index
and more accurately reflect the investment strategy of the Fund.

Fund returns for the 12-month period underperformed that of the
S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index, its primary benchmark,
and the S&P/Investortools Customized Insured Municipal Bond Index,
its secondary benchmark. The Fund’s Investor A and Institutional Shares
outperformed the former benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond
Index, while the Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares underper-
formed. The following discussion of performance is relative to the Fund’s
secondary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Customized Insured
Municipal Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

The Fund’s low exposure to the education sector, which performed well,
detracted from comparative performance for the period. Relative results
also were hindered by the Fund’s zero-coupon positions, which generally
underperformed, and by its exposure to select securities in weaker-perform-
ing geographic areas, particularly California and Michigan.

On the positive side, the Fund’s modestly constructive posture toward the
market (i.e., a slightly long duration) contributed to performance as bench-
mark yields in the municipal market declined over the 12-month period. In
addition, the yield curve flattened, which was beneficial given the Fund’s
exposure to the longer end of the curve. Finally, spreads generally tightened
during the period, helping some of the Fund’s weaker underlying holdings
to perform well.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
We focused on upgrading overall portfolio quality, especially early in the
period, in recognition of the difficult economic realities facing municipal
issuers across the country. Additionally, municipal insurance providers con-
tinued to face ratings pressure and market liquidity, while much improved
from the previous reporting period, remained significantly better for higher-
quality issuers. Our focus on quality pertains to both the insurer (when
applicable) and the underlying credit. Given that health care-related
issuance was particularly heavy, we took the opportunity to purchase
several new positions that we believed were attractively priced and of
high quality.

In the second half of the reporting period, changes followed the same
theme, but were generally minimal. Notably, the popularity of the Build
America Bond (“BAB”) program dramatically decreased new issuance of
tax-exempt paper, especially in the longer end of the yield curve. The
decline in new tax-exempt issuance reduced the number and volume of
opportunistic trades for the Fund. Also during the latter half of the reporting
period, both Moody’s and Fitch implemented their Global Ratings Scale.
This “recalibration” of ratings generally resulted in a one- to two-notch
increase in ratings, primarily in the tax-backed and essential service sec-
tors. As a result, many of the Fund’s holdings were recalibrated upwards.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.

At period end, the Fund continued to exhibit a modestly constructive
stance toward the market and a bias toward the longer end of the yield
curve. The curve remains very steep, with short-term rates under 1% and
longer-term rates above 4%. The Fund’s cash reserves are generally at a
minimum, given near-zero yields on these securities and the outlook for no
change in Fed policy, coupled with declining tax-exempt issuance as BABs
continue to divert municipal supply to the taxable market.

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.

ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2010 7



Fund Summary as of June 30, 2010 BlackRock National Municipal Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
Effective October 28, 2009, the Fund changed its primary benchmark from
the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index to the S&P/Investortools Main
Municipal Bond Index. The S&P/Investortools benchmark provides a closer
representation of the Fund’s investable universe than the Barclays Capital
Municpal Bond Index and more accurately reflects the investment strategy
of the Fund.

For the 12-month period, the Fund’s Investor A and Institutional Shares
outperformed the benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond
Index, while the Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares underper-
formed. All share classes outperformed the former benchmark, the Barclays
Capital Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of performance
is relative to the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal
Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

The Fund benefited from its relatively lower cash reserves throughout much
of the period. The more fully invested posture helped to increase income
and interest accrual, contributing to total return. Assets previously held in
cash reserves were committed to longer-dated securities, which offered
better income accrual than short-term cash equivalents. In particular, expo-

sure to maturities of 25 years and longer helped the Fund to achieve better
value from the steep yield curve. A larger exposure to inverse floating rate
securities also benefited performance, allowing the Fund to take advantage
of the steep curve and historically low short-term borrowing rates to gener-
ate incremental income.

Tightening credit spreads during the year led to improved valuations on
lower-rated sectors. The Fund benefited from its exposure to airline credits.
That said, not all lower-quality sectors and geographic regions participated
equally in the price improvement. For example, the Fund’s holdings in
California did not depreciate, but also did not improve in valuation to the
same degree as other regions. Similarly, the Fund’s very small exposure
(less than 1% of total assets) to tobacco securities did not decline

significantly over the past 12 months, but also did not enjoy the same
degree of spread tightening as other high yield sectors. These detracted
from relative performance, as did our allocation, albeit modest, to low-
yielding cash reserves.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund extended its duration in the second half of 2009. At that time,
BlackRock’s Municipal Investment Strategy Group had shifted its guidance
to a long duration posture, prompting our efforts position the Fund in a
more neutral stance. Accordingly, we committed a portion of the Fund’s
cash equivalent reserves to securities with maturities of 25 years and
longer to take advantage of the historically steep yield curve.

We looked to capitalize on the tightening in credit quality spreads by selling
select lower-rated holdings that had outperformed. For example, we sold
the Fund’s position in Puerto Rico zero-coupon bonds, taking advantage of
an elevated level of liquidity for a sector and credit that had little sponsor-
ship in past periods. Similar sales were executed in high yield sectors that
had benefited from renewed investor interest, leading to higher prices at
tighter spreads.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.
At period end, the Fund’s duration was neutral relative to the benchmark.
Efforts to further extend duration are being tempered by historically low
absolute yields for tax-exempt securities. Cash equivalent reserves, at 5%,
were slightly elevated at period-end. This was a recent change in strategy
aimed at protecting gains realized as rates dropped and spreads tightened.
At this juncture, we believe spreads are likely to remain stable, at least as
long as supply/demand in the municipal market remains favorable.
However, we are seeking to use the new liquidity provided by positive high
yield fund flows to sell holdings that had a limited audience in recent past
markets.

Generally, our efforts remain focused on maximizing income accrual, while
managing volatility in the net asset value within a high-quality asset mix.

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2010 BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
Effective October 28, 2009, the Fund changed its primary benchmark
from the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index to the S&P/Investortools
Main Municipal Bond Index and also added the S&P Investortools Cust-
omized High Yield Municipal Bond Index as a secondary benchmark.
The S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index provides a closer rep-
resentation of the Fund’s investable universe than the Barclays Capital
Municipal Bond Index and more accurately reflects the investment strategy
of the Fund.

For the 12-month period, returns for the Fund’s Investor A and Institutional
Shares outperformed the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index,
the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index

and the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index, but underper-
formed the S&P/Investortools Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index,
the Fund’s secondary benchmark. The Fund’s Class C Shares outperformed
the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Capital
Municipal Bond Index, but underperformed the Barclays Capital High Yield
Municipal Bond Index and the S&P/Investortools Customized High Yield
Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of performance is relative
to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P/Investortools Customized
High Yield Municipal Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

Factors that contributed to positive performance during the fiscal year
included the Fund’s above-market duration stance, emphasis on longer-
dated securities, and sector concentrations in health care, housing and
industrial development bonds. The Fund also benefited from its under-
weight exposure to tobacco credits.

Factors that detracted from Fund performance included underweight expo-
sures to the lower end of the credit spectrum, as well as below-benchmark
weightings in Puerto Rico.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Portfolio activity has been focused on some modest repositioning geared
toward boosting the Fund’s dividend yield. This has been accomplished pri-
marily through increased exposure to tender option bond trusts, a strategy
designed to generate incremental yield via a modest degree of leverage. In
addition, wider credit spreads in the municipal marketplace have afforded
us the opportunity to capitalize on several attractive investment opportuni-
ties in the new-issue market.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.
We continue to believe that credit spreads remain attractive. This is particu-
larly true for longer-dated bonds, where our investments are mostly concen-
trated. As such, portfolio duration at period-end remained somewhat higher
than that of the Fund’s peers, while credit quality and sector exposures
remain similar to the profile in place for much of the year.

The Fund’s cash reserves were minimal at period end, as cash equivalent
investment alternatives provide poor returns at this time, offering little
incentive for investment.

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2010 BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
Effective October 28, 2009, the Fund changed its primary benchmark
from the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index to the S&P/Investortools
Main Municipal Bond Index and also added the S&P Investortools New York
Municipal Bond Index as a secondary benchmark. The S&P/Investortools
benchmarks provide a closer representation of the New York Fund’s invest-
able universe than the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and more
accurately reflects the investment strategy of the Fund.

For the 12-month period, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark,
the S&P/Investortools Main Municipal Bond Index, its secondary bench-
mark, the S&P/Investortools New York Municipal Bond Index, and its former
benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The following dis-
cussion of performance is relative to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the
S&P/Investortools New York Municipal Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?
For the majority of the period, the Fund had a slightly long duration bias
and was weighted toward the long end of the yield curve. This positioning
enabled the Fund to benefit from elevated prices on tax-exempt bonds that
resulted from continued demand amid a declining supply of new issues
due to the Build America Bond program. Many of the Fund’s older holdings
that had suffered during the credit crisis performed well during the period,
as liquidity returned to the municipal market and investors favored tax-
exempt cash flow over the more volatile returns of the equity market. An
above-average yield resulting from the concentration of holdings on the
longer end of the curve and the retention of core higher yielding housing
and corporate credits also contributed positively to total return.

Detracting from performance during the period was the Fund’s high
concentration in high-coupon short-term callable bonds, which tended
to underperform the market due to their shorter duration and
negative convexity.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
Throughout the year, we actively participated when new issues became
available in order to add attractively structured bonds, improve call protec-
tion and, in most cases, achieve higher yields than were available in the
secondary market. Recognizing the growing importance of individual
investors in driving demand, we intentionally structured many of these new-
issue purchases to appeal to buyers in the secondary market. While this
activity was not significant enough to alter the Fund’s overall holdings pro-
file or extend the Fund beyond its targeted duration range, it did enable the
Fund to reap the rewards of holding higher-beta (higher sensitivity to mar-
ket volatility) bonds, which outperformed as municipal bonds rallied. Many
of the new-issue purchases were funded by the sale of older bonds with
more negative convexity that we believed had already seen the bulk of their
potential return.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.
The Fund ended the period with a neutral-to-slightly long duration bias
relative to the S&P/Investortools New York Municipal Bond Index.

for purchase by certain qualified employee benefit plans.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee
future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the per-
formance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain per-
formance 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 on the
payable date.

The Funds’ investment advisor reimbursed a portion of each Fund’s
expenses. Without such reimbursement, a Fund’s performance would have
been lower. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate
so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their origi-
nal 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.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) expenses
related to transactions, including sales charges, redemption fees 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 January 1, 2010 and held
through June 30, 2010) are intended to assist shareholders both in calcu-
lating expenses based on an investment in a Fund and in comparing
these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The tables 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 tables also provide information about hypothetical account values and
hypothetical expenses based on a 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 tables are intended to highlight shareholders’
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as
sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypotheti-
cal 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 net asset
value (“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
(“TOB”) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Funds with eco-
nomic benefits in 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 NAVs per share.

In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the
financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be based on
short-term interest rates, which normally will be lower than the income
earned by each 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
will benefit from the incremental net income.

Furthermore, the value of the Funds’ investments generally varies inversely
with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can
influence the value of portfolio investments. As a result, changes in interest

rates can influence the Funds’ NAV positively or negatively in addition to
the impact on the Funds’ 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 a Fund’s NAV and dividend rate than a comparable portfolio
without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with
assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Fund’s net
income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the
income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of
leverage, the 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. A Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inop-
portune 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 a Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities
or use certain types of hedging strategies. A Fund will incur expenses in
connection with the use of leverage and may reduce investment returns.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial
futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial State-
ments, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments
are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical
custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Such
derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation
between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset,
possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of
the derivative instrument. A Fund’s ability to successfully use a derivative

instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accurately pre-
dict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of
derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not
been used, may require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio securities
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 a security
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, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indi-
cation of the risk 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 inputs used as of June 30, 2010 in determining

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments and derivatives, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including
the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments
and derivatives)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indi-
cation of the risk 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 tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2010 in determining
the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivatives:

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments and derivatives, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments
and derivatives)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk 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, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including
the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk 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 inputs used as of June 30, 2010 in determining
the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments and derivatives, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments
and derivatives)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk 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 Statments.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2010 in determining

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund (“Short-Term Municipal”), BlackRock
Municipal Insured Fund (“Municipal Insured”), BlackRock National
Municipal Fund (“National Municipal”) and BlackRock High Yield Municipal
Fund (“High Yield Municipal”) of BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc.
(“The Bond Fund”) and BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund (“New
York Municipal”) of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (collec-
tively, the “Funds” or individually as the “Fund”) are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as diver-
sified, open-end management investment companies. The Bond Fund is
organized as a Maryland corporation. BlackRock Multi-State Municipal
Series 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 and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The Boards of Directors and the
Boards of Trustees of the Funds are referred to throughout this report as
the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”. Each Fund offers multiple classes
of shares. BlackRock and Institutional Shares are sold without a sales
charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally
sold with a front-end sales charge. Investor A1, Investor B and Investor C1
are not generally available except for dividend and capital gains reinvest-
ment. Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge. All classes of shares have identical vot-
ing, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and condi-
tions, except that Investor A, Investor A1, Investor B, Investor C and Investor
C1 Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of
such shares, and Investor B, 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 Municipal Insured
and National Municipal, Investor B Shares automatically convert to Investor
A Shares after approximately 10 years. Investor A1, Investor B and Investor
C1 Shares are only available through exchanges, dividend reinvestment by
existing shareholders or for purchase by certain qualified employee benefits
plans. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relat-
ing to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that
Investor B shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A and
Investor A1 distribution plan).

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

Valuation: The Funds' policy is to fair value their financial instruments at
market value using independent dealers or pricing services selected under
the supervision of the Board of Directors. 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, quota-
tions 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60
days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net
asset value each business day.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a
price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the
market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will
be valued 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 investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine
the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the cur-
rent sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determina-
tions shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor
and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is
subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The
Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase
or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such trans-
actions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale
commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such con-
ditions 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 purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest
earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed deliv-
ery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the secu-
rity, 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 on the
Schedules of Investments, if any.

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

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

70 ANNUAL REPORT

JUNE 30, 2010



Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Interest income from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by the
Funds on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured bor-
rowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and
trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense and fees in the
Statements of Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have
interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option
to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date.
At June 30, 2010, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds
transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust certificates and the range
of interest rates on the liability for trust certificates were as follows:

Underlying
  Municipal     
  Bonds  Liability for  Range of 
  Transferred  Trust  Interest 
  to TOBs  Certificates  Rates 
Municipal Insured  $139,903,682  $ 65,775,270  0.23% — 
      0.59% 
National Municipal  $317,623,908  $153,359,646  0.22% — 
      0.43% 
High Yield Municipal  $ 15,764,114  $ 7,913,866  0.24% — 
      0.34% 
New York Municipal  $ 9,794,695  $ 4,735,103  0.25% — 
      0.37% 

 

For the year ended June 30, 2010, the Funds' average trust certificates
outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate, including fees,
were as follows:

  Average Trust  Daily Weighted 
  Certificates  Average 
  Outstanding  Interest Rate 
Municipal Insured  $60,892,162  0.71% 
National Municipal  $74,704,104  0.77% 
High Yield Municipal.  $ 4,518,225  0.85% 
New York Municipal  $ 2,624,917  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' net asset values
per share.

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.

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 con-
nection 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 their books and
records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal
to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segre-
gated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain
exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to
deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting
purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the trans-
actions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses
on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.
Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of dis-
count on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Income and realized and
unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its
relative net assets.

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 amount and timing of dividends and distribu-
tions 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.

The Funds file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No
income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limita-
tions on the Funds' US federal tax returns remains open for each of the
four years ended June 30, 2010, except for New York Municipal. The statute
of limitations on New York Municipal’s US federal tax returns remains open
for each of the years ended September 30, 2006 and September 30,
2007, the period ended June 30, 2008 and the years ended June 30,
2009 and June 30, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Funds' state
and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending
upon the jurisdiction. There are no uncertain tax positions that require
recognition of a tax liability.

Other: Expenses directly related to each 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. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to
each class based on its relative net assets. The Funds have an arrange-
ment 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 Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative
contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and to economically
hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk.
These contracts may be transacted on an exchange. 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 counter-
party does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to
exchange-traded financial futures contracts is minimal because of the pro-
tection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade.

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 contracts for delayed delivery of securities at

a specific future date and at a specific price. 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 margin variation and are recognized by the Funds as unreal-
ized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a real-
ized 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 transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation
in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates
and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC"), Bank of America
Corporation ("BAC") and Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays") are the largest
stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"). Due to the ownership

structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC
and Barclays are not.

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 at the
following annual rates of each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

1 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 applica-
ble to a breakpoint level is determined by dividing the amount of the aggregate aver-
age daily net assets of the three combined Funds that falls within that breakpoint
level by the aggregate average daily net assets of the three 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.

For Short-Term Municipal, the Manager voluntarily agreed to waive or reim-
burse fees and expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense,
acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, in order
to limit expenses. The expense limitations as a percentage of net assets
are as follows:

Institutional  0.40% 
Investor A  0.69% 
Investor A1  0.52% 
Investor B  0.81% 
Investor C  1.55% 

 

These voluntary waivers and reimbursements may be reduced or discontin-
ued at any time.

As a result, the Manager waived or reimbursed the following amounts which
are shown as transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific
in the Statements of Operations:

Institutional  $438,119 
Investor A  $ 763 
Investor A1  $ 15,080 
Investor B  $ 609 

 

In addition, for Short-Term Municipal, the Manager waived $30,255, which
is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations.

High Yield Municipal’s rates are as follows:   
Portion of Average Daily Net Assets  Rate 
Not exceeding $250 million  0.550% 
In excess of $250 million, but not exceeding $500 million  0.525% 
In excess of $500 million  0.500%

well as per account and per transaction fees related to servicing and main-
tenance of shareholder accounts, including the issuing, redeeming and

ing. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of June 30, 2010 attributa-
ble to amortization methods on fixed income securities, the tax classification of distributions received from a regulated investment company and the
expiration of capital loss carryforwards were reclassified to the following accounts:

      Municipal  National  High Yield  New York 
      Insured  Municipal  Municipal  Municipal 
Paid-in capital        $(444,566)     
Undistributed net investment income      $ 3,198  $ (88,494)  $(1,124)  $(7,551) 
Accumulated net realized loss      $(3,198)  $ 533,060  $ 1,124  $ 7,551

As of June 30, 2010 the tax components of accumulated net earnings (losses) were as follows:         
    Short-Term  Municipal  National  High Yield  New York 
    Municipal  insured  Municipal  Municipal  Municipal 
Undistributed tax-exempt income    $ 484,225  $ 2,249,146  $ 1,254,526  $ 131,849  $ 289,724

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax deferral of losses on
straddles, the difference between book and tax for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities, the deferral of post-October capital losses for tax purposes, book-tax dif-
ferences in the accrual of income on securities in default, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain futures contracts, the timing and recognition of
partnership income and the tax treatment of residual interests in tender option bond trusts.

As of June 30, 2010, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

6. Borrowings:

The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its
affiliates, are a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of
lenders, which was renewed until November 2010. The Funds may borrow
under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Prior to its
renewal, the credit agreement had the following terms: 0.02% upfront fee
on the aggregate commitment amount which was allocated to each Fund
based on its net assets as of October 31, 2008; a commitment fee of
0.08% per annum based on each Fund's pro rata share of the unused por-
tion of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous in the
Statements of Operations, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of the
(a) federal funds effective rate and (b) reserve adjusted one-month LIBOR,
plus, in each case, the higher of (i) 1.50% and (ii) 50% of the CDX Index
(as defined in the credit agreement) on amounts borrowed. Effective
November 2009, the credit agreement was renewed with the following
terms: 0.02% upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount which was
allocated to each Fund based on its net assets as of October 31, 2009, a
commitment fee of 0.10% per annum based on each Fund's pro rata
share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is included in
miscellaneous in the Statements of Operations, and interest at a rate equal
to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum and (b)
the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. The
Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended
June 30, 2010.

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 fluctua-
tions. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counter-
party 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 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
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 Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collat-
eral held by the Funds.

8. Reorganization:

On February 23, 2009 (the “Reorganization Date”), National Municipal
acquired all of the assets and certain stated liabilities of BlackRock Florida
Municipal Bond Fund of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust
(“Florida Municipal”). The reorganization was pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization, which was approved by the shareholders of Florida
Municipal on January 20, 2009. Under the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, 201,716 Investor A Shares, 4,540,365 Investor A1 Shares,
978,873 Investor B Shares, 265,991 Investor C Shares, 973,990 Investor

250,847 Investor C Shares, 920,024 Investor C1 Shares, and 1,316,862
Institutional Shares, respectively, of National Municipal. The conversion
ratios for Investor A Shares, Investor A1 Shares, Investor B Shares, Investor
C Shares, Investor C1 Shares and Institutional Shares were 0.943518,
0.944400, 0.946859, 0.943066, 0.944593 and 0.946465, respectively.
The assets of Florida Municipal, which consisted of securities and related
receivables less liabilities were converted on a tax free basis. On the
Reorganization Date, the net assets of National Municipal were valued at
$1,783,003,795 (including net assets of $74,311,909 for Florida
Municipal, which included $2,960,415 of accumulated net realized loss
and $6,897,370 of net unrealized depreciation).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BlackRock
Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. and the Shareholders and Board
of Trustees of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust
(collectively the “Funds”):

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of BlackRock Municipal Bond
Fund, Inc., comprised of BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund, BlackRock
Municipal Insured Fund, BlackRock National Municipal Fund, and
BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund, as of June 30, 2010, and the related
statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements
of changes in net assets for the each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. We
have also audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of BlackRock New York Municipal
Bond Fund, one of the funds constituting BlackRock Multi-State Municipal
Series Trust, as of June 30, 2010, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each
of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibil-
ity is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of
material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial report-
ing. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and signifi-
cant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation
of securities owned as of June 30, 2010, by correspondence with the
custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we
performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund, BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund,
BlackRock National Municipal Fund and BlackRock High Yield Municipal
Fund of BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. as of June 30, 2010, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additionally,
in our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund of BlackRock Multi-State
Municipal Series Trust as of June 30, 2010, the results of its operations for
the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years
in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the peri-
ods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board of Directors of BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund (the “High
Yield Fund”), BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund (the “Insured Fund”),
BlackRock National Municipal Fund (the “National Fund”) and BlackRock
Short-Term Municipal Fund (the “Short-Term Fund”), each a series of
BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”), and the Board
of Trustees of the BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund (the “New York
Fund,” along with the High Yield Fund, Insured Fund, National Fund, and
Short-Term Fund, each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), a series of
BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the “Trust”), (collectively, the
“Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”)
met on April 13, 2010 and May 11 – 12, 2010 to consider the approval of
the Corporation’s, on behalf of the High Yield Fund, the Insured Fund, the
National Fund and the Short-Term Fund, and the Trust’s, on behalf of the
New York Fund, investment advisory agreements (collectively, the “Advisory
Agreements”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s
investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval of the sub-
advisory agreements (collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between
the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-
Advisor”), with respect to each Fund. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor
are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the
Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

The Board consists of fourteen individuals, eleven of whom are not “inter-
ested persons” of the Corporation or the Trust as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent
Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight
of the operations of the Funds and perform the various duties imposed on
the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent
Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them
in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Inde-
pendent Board Member. The Board has established five standing commit-
tees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a
Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an
Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board
Members (except for the Performance Oversight Committee and the
Executive Committee, each of which also has one interested Board
Member) and is chaired by Independent Board Members. The Board
also has one ad hoc committee, the Joint Product Pricing Committee,
which consists of Independent Board Members and directors/trustees
of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who are not
“interested persons” of their respective funds.

The Agreements

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the contin-
uation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this
process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope
and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the personnel of
BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administra-
tive and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody,
marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and
regulatory requirements.

From time to time throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and
through its committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are

relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements,
including the services and support provided by BlackRock to each Fund
and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a)
investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applica-
ble, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as sen-
ior management and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any
over performance or underperformance against its peers and/or bench-
mark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applica-
ble, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund
for services, such as transfer agency, marketing and distribution, call center
and fund accounting; (c) Fund operating expenses; (d) the resources
devoted to and compliance reports relating to each Fund’s investment
objective, policies and restrictions, (e) each Fund’s compliance with its
Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature,
cost and character of non-investment management services provided by
BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’
internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting poli-
cies approved by the Board; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions;
(j) BlackRock’s implementation of each Fund’s valuation and liquidity pro-
cedures; (k) an analysis of contractual and actual management fees for
products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund,
closed-end fund and institutional account product channels; and
(l) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: Prior to the April 13, 2010 meeting, the Board
requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements.
The Board is engaged in a process with BlackRock to periodically review
the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its
deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting
included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper,
Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the investment per-
formance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as de-
termined by Lipper and, for the National Fund and the Short-Term Fund,
a customized peer group selected by BlackRock (collectively, “Peers”);
(b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a
discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant
shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning
investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional
clients and closed-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well

At an in-person meeting held on April 13, 2010, the Board reviewed
materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of
the discussions that occurred during the April 13, 2010 meeting, the
Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional
information and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional
written information in advance of the May 11 – 12, 2010 Board meeting.

At an in-person meeting held on May 11 – 12, 2010, the Board, including
the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation

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

of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Corporation, on
behalf of the High Yield Fund, the Insured Fund, the National Fund and the
Short-Term Fund, and the Trust, on behalf of the New York Fund, and the
Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with
respect to each Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011.
In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered:

(a)      the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock;
(b)      the investment performance of each Fund and BlackRock; (c) the

advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by
BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund;
(d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors deemed relevant by the
Board Members.

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

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

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

In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the
administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to each
Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide
each Fund with certain administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and
other services (in addition to any such services provided to a Fund by
third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the
operations of the Fund. In addition to investment advisory services,

BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with other services,
including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus,
the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports;
(ii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordi-
nating the activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meet-
ings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing
legal and compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative
functions necessary for the operation of the Fund, such as tax reporting,
fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Board
reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration,
accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered
BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of each Fund and BlackRock: The Board,
including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered
the performance history of each Fund. In preparation for the April 13, 2010
meeting, the Board was provided with reports, independently prepared by
Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s perform-
ance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the
Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various fac-
tors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, the Board
received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance
of each Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as
determined by Lipper and to all funds in the Fund’s applicable Lipper cate-
gory and, for the National Fund and the Short-Term Fund, a customized
peer group selected by BlackRock. The Board was provided with a descrip-
tion of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Board
regularly reviews the performance of each Fund throughout the year. The
Board attaches more importance to performance over relatively long
periods of time, typically three to five years.

The Board noted that the High Yield Fund ranked in the first, fourth, and
fourth quartiles against its Lipper Performance Composite for the one-year,
three-year and since inception periods reported, respectively. The Board
and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for the High Yield Fund’s underperfor-
mance during the three-year and since-inception periods compared with its
Peers. The Board was informed that, among other things, despite a sharp
rebound in relative performance over the last year, the High Yield Fund’s
performance ranking since inception, as well as the past three years,
remains heavily influenced by the periodic upheavals experienced by the
municipal securities market during the latter half of 2007 and throughout
much of 2008.

The Board noted that the Insured Fund ranked in the first, second, and first
quartiles against its Lipper Performance Composite for the one-, three- and
five-year periods reported, respectively.

The Board noted that the National Fund ranked in the second, second, and
first quartiles against its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite for the
one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively.

The Board noted that the Short-Term Fund ranked in the fourth, third,
and fourth quartiles against its Customized Lipper Peer Group for the
one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. The Board and

82 ANNUAL REPORT

JUNE 30, 2010



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

BlackRock reviewed the reasons for the Short-Term Fund’s underperfor-
mance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board was
informed that, among other things, the Short-Term Fund is more conserv-
atively positioned from both a duration and credit perspective than many
of its Peers.

The Board noted that the New York Fund ranked in the second, third,
and third quartiles against its Lipper Performance Composite for the
one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. The Board and
BlackRock reviewed the reasons for the New York Fund’s underperformance
during the three- and five-year periods compared with its Peers. The Board
was informed that, among other things, the New York Fund began 2008
with an overweight in higher yielding credits and underweighted in AA and
AAA bonds. These holdings, as well as the New York Fund’s longer dated
positions, significantly underperformed the market as the credit markets
suffered severe dislocation and liquidity within the municipal securities
market disappeared.

The Board and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving
the High Yield Fund’s, the Short-Term Fund’s and the New York Fund’s per-
formance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources neces-
sary to assist each of these Fund’s portfolio managers and to improve the
Fund's performance.

The Board noted that BlackRock has made changes to the organization of
the overall fixed income group management structure designed to result in
a strengthened leadership team with clearer accountability.

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

The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s finan-
cial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided each
Fund. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed
the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services
provided to each Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with
respect to each Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the
year ended December 31, 2009 compared to available aggregate prof-
itability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Board
reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes
managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed
BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the
profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs
among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability
may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee
waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds
managed, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of
comparing profitability as a result of those factors.

The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability
of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such
information was available, the Board considered BlackRock’s operating
margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading invest-
ment management firms whose operations include advising open-end
funds, among other product types. That data indicates that operating mar-
gins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consis-
tent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors.
In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party
data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-
traded asset management firms. That third party data indicates that larger
asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.

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

The Board noted that the High Yield Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate
was lower than or equal to the median contractual advisory fee rate paid
by the High Yield Fund's Peers, in each case, before taking into account
any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted that the
High Yield Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints
that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the High Yield Fund
increases above certain contractually specified levels.

The Board noted that the Insured Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was
lower than or equal to the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by the
Insured Fund's Peers, in each case, before taking into account any expense
reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted that the Insured Fund
has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the
fee rate downward as the aggregate assets of the Insured Fund, combined
with the assets of the National Fund and the Short-Term Fund increase
above certain contractually specified levels.

The Board noted that the National Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was
above the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by the National Fund’s
Peers, in each case, before taking into account any expense reimburse-
ments or fee waivers. The Board also noted, however, that the National
Fund’s actual management fee rate (a combination of the advisory fee
rate and the administration fee rate), after giving effect to any expense
reimbursements or fee waivers by BlackRock, was reasonable relative
to the median actual management fee rate paid by the National Fund’s
Peers, after giving effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers.
The Board further noted that the National Fund has an advisory fee
arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward
as the aggregate assets of the National Fund, combined with the assets
of the Insured Fund and the Short-Term Fund, increase above certain
contractually specified levels.

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

The Board noted that the Short-Term Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate
was lower than or equal to the median contractual advisory fee rate paid
by the Short-Term Fund's Peers, in each case, before taking into account
any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted that the
Short-Term Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes break-
points that adjust the fee rate downward as the aggregate assets of the
Short-Term Fund, combined with the assets of the Insured Fund and the
National Fund, increase above certain contractually specified levels. The
Board further noted that BlackRock has voluntarily agreed to waive fees or
reimburse expenses in order to limit, to a specified amount, the Short-Term
Fund’s total net expenses on a class-by-class basis, as applicable.

The Board noted that the New York Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate
was above the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by the New York
Fund’s Peers, in each case, before taking into account any expense reim-
bursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted, however, that the New
York Fund’s contractual management fee rate (a combination of the advi-
sory fee rate and the administration fee rate) was reasonable relative to
the median contractual management fee rate paid by the New York Fund’s
Peers, in each case, before taking into account any expense reimburse-
ments or fee waivers. The Board further noted that the New York Fund has
an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee
rate downward as the size of the New York Fund increases above certain
contractually specified levels.

D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board
Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be
realized as the assets of each Fund increase. The Board also considered
the extent to which each Fund benefits from such economies and whether
there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to
enable each Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example
through the use of revised breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon
the asset level of a Fund or the combined asset level of several Funds,
as applicable.

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Board,
including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other
ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and signifi-
cant shareholders may derive from their respective relationships with
each Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to
leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an
increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and
the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates and significant shareholders as
service providers to the Fund, including for administrative, transfer agency
and distribution services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall
operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality
of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and bene-
fit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain
mutual fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other
client accounts. The Board further noted that BlackRock completed the
acquisition of a complex of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) on December
1, 2009, and that BlackRock’s funds may invest in such ETFs without any
offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.

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

The Board noted the competitive nature of the open-end fund marketplace,
and that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe
that the Fund’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied
with the performance of the Fund.

Conclusion

The Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously
approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the
Manager and the Corporation, on behalf of the High Yield Fund, the Insured
Fund, the National Fund and the Short-Term Fund, and the Trust, on behalf
of the New York Fund, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011 and the
Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, with
respect to each Fund, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. As part
of its approval, the Board considered the detailed review of BlackRock’s fee
structure, as it applies to each Fund, being conducted by the ad hoc Joint
Product Pricing Committee. Based upon its evaluation of all of the afore-
mentioned factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent
Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair
and reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.
In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not
identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling,
but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may
have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The
Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of inde-
pendent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee
arrangements for each Fund reflect the results of several years of review
by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions
between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and
BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of
more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’
conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these
arrangements in prior years.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end
of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer,
principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar
functions. During the period covered by this report, there have been no amendments to or
waivers granted under the code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is available without

Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors or trustees, as
applicable (the “board of directors”), has determined that (i) the registrant has the following
audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit
committee financial expert is independent:
Robert M. Hernandez
Fred G. Weiss
Richard R. West

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial

purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or
identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification as an
audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or
liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a

financial statements not included in Audit Fees.
2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and
procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax
compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-
approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services
provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated
service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the
registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent
with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will
not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the
Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).



The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless
the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to
the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the
registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not
exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose,
multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned
cost levels.

Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific
pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-
approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each
service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person
board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee
for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to
approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit
services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by
the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not Applicable     
(g) Affiliates’ Aggregate Non-Audit Fees:   
  Current Fiscal  Previous Fiscal 
Entity Name  Year End  Year End 
BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund  $16,892  $409,628 
BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund  $17,094  $409,628 
BlackRock National Municipal Fund  $17,397  $409,628 
BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund  $16,997  $409,628 

 

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of
non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including
any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that
provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal
accountant’s independence.

Governance Committee will consider nominees to the board of directors recommended by
shareholders when a vacancy becomes available. Shareholders who wish to recommend a
nominee should send nominations that include biographical information and set forth the
qualifications of the proposed nominee to the registrant’s Secretary. There have been no
material changes to these procedures.

Item 11 – Controls and Procedures

11(a) –  The registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing 
  similar functions have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as 
  defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 
  “1940 Act”)) are effective as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report based on the 
  evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act 
  and Rule 15(d)-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
11(b) –  There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as 
  defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the second fiscal quarter 
  of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to 
  materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
