Privacy Principles of the Trusts

          The Trusts are committed to maintaining the privacy of shareholders and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information the Trusts collect, how we protect that information and why, in certain cases, we may share information with select other parties.

          Generally, the Trusts do not receive any non-public personal information relating to their shareholders, although certain non-public personal information of shareholders may become available to the Trusts. The Trusts do not disclose any non-public personal information about their shareholders or former shareholders to anyone, except as permitted by law or as is necessary in order to service shareholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third party administrator).

          The Trusts restrict access to non-public personal information about their shareholders to BlackRock employees with a legitimate business need for the information. The Trusts maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the non-public personal information of their shareholders.



LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

October 31, 2005

Dear Shareholder:

          We are pleased to report that during the annual period, the Trusts continued to provide monthly income, as well as the opportunity to invest in various portfolios of municipal securities. This report contains the Trusts’ audited financial statements and a listing of the portfolios’ holdings.

          The portfolio management team continuously monitors the municipal bond market and adjusts the portfolios in order to gain exposure to various issuers, revenue sources and security types. This strategy enables the Trusts to move among different sectors, credits and coupons to capitalize on changing market conditions.

          The following table shows the Trusts’ current yields, tax-equivalent yields, closing market prices per share and net asset values (“NAV”) per share as of October 31, 2005.

Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of a common share at the current market price on the first day and a sale at the current market price on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Trust’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total investment returns do not reflect brokerage commissions. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

2

Ratios are calculated on the basis of income and expenses applicable to both the common and preferred shares relative to the average net assets of common shareholders.

The information in the above Financial Highlights represents the operating performance for a common share outstanding, total investment returns, ratios to average net assets and other supplemental data for each year indicated. This information has been determined based upon financial information provided in the financial statements and market price data for the Trust’s common shares.

Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of a common share at the current market price on the first day and a sale at the current market price on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Trust’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total investment returns do not reflect brokerage commissions. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

2

Ratios are calculated on the basis of income and expenses applicable to both the common and preferred shares relative to the average net assets of the common shareholders.

The information in the above Financial Highlights represents the operating performance for a common share outstanding, total investment returns, ratios to average net assets and other supplemental data for each year indicated. This information has been determined based upon financial information provided in the financial statements and market price data for the Trust’s common shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Organization & Accounting Policies

BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“Municipal Investment Quality”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on November 19, 1992. BlackRock California Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“California Investment Quality”), BlackRock New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“New Jersey Investment Quality”) and BlackRock New York Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“New York Investment Quality”) were organized as Maryland corporations on April 12, 1993. BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust (“Florida Investment Quality”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 15, 1993. Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality are herein referred to as the Investment Quality Trusts. BlackRock Municipal Income Trust (“Municipal Income”), BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust (“California Income”), BlackRock Florida Municipal Income Trust (“Florida Income”), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust (“New Jersey Income”) and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust (“New York Income”) (collectively the “Income Trusts”) were organized as Delaware statutory trusts on March 30, 2001. The Investment Quality Trusts and the Income Trusts are referred to herein collectively as the “Trusts.” Municipal Investment Quality and Municipal Income are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. California Investment Quality, California Income, Florida Investment Quality, Florida Income, New Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Income, New York Investment Quality and New York Income are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by each Trust to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a state, a specific industry or region.

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

Investments Valuation: Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trust’s Board of Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may be (each, a “Board”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. A futures contract is valued at the last sale price as of the close of the commodities exchange on which it trades. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Any investments or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Value Assets”) as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, each Trust’s Board. The investment advisor and/or sub-advisor will submit its recommendations regarding the valuation and/or valuation methodologies for Fair Value Assets to a valuation committee. The valuation committee may accept, modify or reject any recommendations. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to the Board.

          When determining the price for a Fair Value Asset, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. The cost of investments sold and the related gain or loss is determined by use of the specific identification method, generally first-in, first-out, for both financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes. Each Trust also records interest income on an accrual basis and amortizes premium and/or accretes discount on securities purchased using the interest method.

Financial Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument for a set price on a future date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trust’s basis in the contract.

          Financial futures contracts, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Futures contracts can be sold to effectively shorten an otherwise longer duration portfolio. In the same sense, futures contracts can be purchased to lengthen a portfolio that is shorter than its duration target. Thus, by buying or selling futures contracts, the Trusts may attempt to manage the duration of positions so that changes in interest rates do not change the duration of the portfolio unexpectedly.

Segregation: In cases in which the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) require that each Trust segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities, reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the Commission, designate on its 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 segregated.

Federal Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s intention to continue to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient net income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders. For this reason no Federal income tax or excise tax provisions are required.

Dividends and Distributions: Each Trust declares and pays dividends and distributions to common shareholders monthly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss carryforwards may be distributed in accordance with the 1940 Act. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting

54


principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 5.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”) are required to defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock closed-end trusts selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.

          The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts: In order to present undistributed (distribution in excess of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated net realized gain (“Accumulated Gain”) and paid-in-capital (“PIC”) more closely to its tax character, the following accounts for each Trust were increased (decreased):

Note 2. Agreements

Each Trust has an Investment Management Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to each Trust. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The investment management agreement for each Income Trust covers both investment advisory and administration services. Each Investment Quality Trust has an Administration Agreement with the Advisor.

          Each Trust’s investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.35% for the Investment Quality Trusts and 0.60% for the Income Trusts, of the Trust’s average weekly managed assets. “Managed assets” means the total assets of a Trust (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee or other expenses on the Income Trusts as a percentage of managed assets as follows: 0.25% for the first five years of each of the Trust’s operations, 0.20% in year six, 0.15% in year seven, 0.10% in year eight and 0.05% in year nine.

          The administration fee to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.15% for the Municipal Investment Quality Trust and 0.10% for the California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality of the Trusts’ average weekly managed assets.

          Pursuant to the agreements, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolio and pays the compensation of officers of each Trust who are affiliated persons of the Advisor, as well as occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of each Trust. Each Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for cost of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support, and compliance services to each Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2005, the Trusts reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations:

          A Trust may not declare dividends or make other distributions on common shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding preferred shares would be less than 200%.

          The preferred shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The preferred shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Trust, as set forth in each Trust’s Declaration of Trust, are not satisfied.

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

Note 6. Dividends

Subsequent to October 31, 2005, the Board of each Trust declared dividends from undistributed earnings per common share payable December 1, 2005, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2005. The per share common dividends declared were as follows:

Note 7. Reimbursements

In December of 2003, the Advisor determined that each of the Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality had purchased high yield bonds in violation of a non-fundamental investment policy requiring their investments to be of investment grade quality at the time of purchase. The Advisor has reimbursed each of the Trusts for the realized and unrealized losses incurred from the date of purchase through December 18, 2003 as a result of these unauthorized purchases. The net realized and unrealized gains on these securities as of December 18, 2003 was $167,280 for Municipal Investment Quality, $10,779 for California Investment Quality, $46,656 for Florida Investment Quality and $4,284 for New York Investment Quality. The amount of the reimbursement for the unrealized losses was $18,421 for California Investment Quality, $86,481.10 for New Jersey Investment Quality and $3,690 for New York Investment Quality. Such amounts have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2004.

58


Note 8. Investment Policy

On December 18, 2003, the Board approved a resolution for each of the Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality whereby each such Trust adopted a non-fundamental investment policy permitting each Trust to invest up to 20% of its managed assets, measured at the time of purchase, in securities rated BB/Ba or B by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc., Fitch Ratings or another nationally recognized rating agency or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable credit quality by BlackRock Advisors, Inc. or its affiliates.

Note 9. Concentration Risk

The Trusts concentrate their investments in securities issued by state agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories. The Trusts are more susceptible to adverse financial, social, environmental, economic, regulatory and political factors that may affect these states, which could seriously affect the ability of these states and their municipal subdivisions to meet continuing obligations for principle and interest payments, than if the Trusts were not concentrated in securities issued by state agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories.

          Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that market value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. These securities have been identified in the Portfolios of Investments.

(Collectively the “Trusts”)

          We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statements 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 Trusts’ management. Our responsibility 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 Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. 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 Trust’s 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 significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian 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 the Trusts as of October 31, 2005, 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 periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS


          Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), common shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent.

          After an Investment Quality Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participant’s account, by the purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trust’s primary exchange or elsewhere (“open market purchases”). The Investment Quality Trusts will not issue any new shares under the Plan, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan.

          After an Income Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share (“NAV”) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open market purchases.

          Participants in the Plan may withdraw from the Plan upon written notice to the Plan Agent and will receive certificates for whole Trust shares and a cash payment for any fraction of a Trust share.

          The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

          Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan, however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, or (800) 699-1BFM.

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS


          At a meeting held on May 26, 2005, the Board of Trustees or the Board of Directors, as the case may be (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of each trust in the BlackRock Closed-End Fund Complex (each a “Trust”), including the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the continuance of an Investment Management Agreement between each Trust and BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). For each Investment Management Agreement, the Boards also approved a related Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, when applicable, among each respective Trust, the Advisor and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor”). The Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements sometimes are referred to herein collectively as the “Agreements”. The Advisor and the Sub-Advisor sometimes are referred to herein collectively as “BlackRock”.

Information Received by the Boards

          To assist each Board in its evaluation of the Agreements, the Independent Trustees received information from BlackRock on or about April 27, 2005, which detailed, among other things: the organization, business lines and capabilities of BlackRock, including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel and biographical information relating to key personnel; financial statements for BlackRock, Inc., The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and each Trust; the advisory and/or administrative fees paid by each Trust to BlackRock, including comparisons, compiled by an independent third party, with the management fees of funds with similar investment objectives (“Peers”); the profitability of BlackRock and certain industry profitability analyses for advisors to registered investment companies; the expenses of BlackRock in providing the various services; non-investment advisory reimbursements and “fallout” benefits to BlackRock; the expenses of each Trust, including comparisons of the respective Trust’s expense ratios (both before and after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its Peers; and each Trust’s performance for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, when applicable, as well as each Trust’s performance compared to its Peers. This information supplemented the information received by each Board throughout the year regarding each Trust’s performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and compliance.

          In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees provided a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Boards under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as well as the general principles of relevant law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts, the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters, an advisor’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation, and the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the Boards in voting on advisory agreements.

          Prior to the Board meeting, the Independent Trustees reviewed a preliminary binder of information, and, in consultation with independent counsel, submitted a memorandum on May 12, 2005, to BlackRock setting forth certain questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these questions in writing on May 24, 2005, and May 25, 2005. The Independent Trustees reviewed these responses with independent counsel on May 25, 2005.

          At the Board meeting on May 26, 2005, BlackRock made a presentation to and responded to additional questions from the Boards. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their legal counsel to review the Boards’ duties in reviewing the Agreements and to consider the renewal of the Agreements. With this background, the Boards considered each Agreement and, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission statements relating to the renewal of the Agreements.

Matters Considered by the Boards

          In connection with their deliberations, the Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Trust, including the following: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by BlackRock; the investment performance of each Trust; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trusts; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the BlackRock closed-end funds complex grows; and whether BlackRock realizes other benefits from its relationship with the Trusts.

          Nature and Quality of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of BlackRock’s services, the Boards reviewed information concerning the types of services that BlackRock provides and is expected to provide to each Trust, narrative and statistical information concerning each Trust’s performance record and how such performance compares to each Trust’s Peers, information describing BlackRock’s organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Boards further noted the willingness of the personnel of BlackRock to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards further considered the quality of BlackRock’s investment process in making portfolio management decisions. Given the Boards’ experience with BlackRock, the Boards noted that they were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of BlackRock.

          In addition to advisory services, the Independent Trustees considered the quality of the administrative or non-investment advisory services provided to the Trusts. In this regard, BlackRock provides each Trust with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Trusts) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Trust. In addition to investment management services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Trust with a wide range of services, including: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements and Trust web sites; communications with analysts to support secondary market trading; assisting with daily accounting and pricing; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal and compliance support (such as helping to prepare proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In addition, in evaluating the

62


administrative services, the Boards considered, in particular, BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations in light of the new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations governing compliance. The Boards noted BlackRock’s focus on compliance and its compliance systems. The Independent Trustees noted that BlackRock’s commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds is particularly noteworthy.

          The Investment Performance of the Trusts. As previously noted, the Boards received myriad performance information regarding each Trust and its Peers. Among other things, the Boards received materials reflecting each Trust’s historic performance and each Trust’s performance compared to its Peers. More specifically, each Trust’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year total returns (when applicable) were evaluated relative to its respective Peers (including the performance of individual peers as well as the Peers’ average performance).

          The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the Boards’ request. The summary placed the Peer rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons. In evaluating the performance information, in certain limited instances, the Boards noted that the Peers most similar to a given Trust still would not adequately reflect such Trust’s investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Trust’s performance with that of its Peers. The Boards noted the quality of information provided by BlackRock throughout the year with respect to the performance of the Trusts. The Boards considered this information in connection with its deliberations as to whether the level of management services provided to each Trust, in light of all the other facts and circumstances relating to that Trust, supports a conclusion that the Trust’s Agreement should be renewed.

          Fees and Expenses. In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Trust is expected to bear, the Boards considered each Trust’s current management fee structure and the Trust’s expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as relative to the fees and expense ratios of applicable Peers. In reviewing fees, the Boards, among other things, reviewed comparisons of each Trust’s gross management fees before and after any applicable reimbursements and fee waivers and total expense ratios before and after any applicable waivers with those of the applicable Peers. The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the request of the Boards. This summary placed the rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons.

          The Boards also compared the management fees charged to the Trusts by BlackRock to the management fees BlackRock charges other types of clients (such as open-end investment companies and institutional separately managed accounts). With respect to open-end investment companies, the management fees charged to the Trusts generally were higher than those charged to the open-end investment companies. The Boards also noted that BlackRock provides the Trusts with certain services not provided to open-end funds, such as leverage management in connection with the issuance of preferred shares, stock exchange listing compliance requirements, rating agency compliance with respect to the leverage employed by the Trusts and secondary market support and other services not provided to the Trusts, such as monitoring of subscriptions and redemptions. With respect to separately managed institutional accounts, the management fees for such accounts were generally lower than those charged to the comparable Trusts. The Boards noted, however, the various services that are provided and the costs incurred by BlackRock in managing and operating the Trusts. For instance, BlackRock and its affiliates provide numerous services to the Trusts that are not provided to institutional accounts including, but not limited to: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; income monitoring; expense budgeting; preparing proxy statements; and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). Further, the Boards noted the increased compliance requirements for the Trusts in light of new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts.

          The Boards considered this information in connection with its deliberations as to whether the fees paid by each Trust under its Agreements, in light of all the other facts and circumstances relating to that Trust, supports a conclusion that the Trust’s Agreements should be renewed.

          Profitability. The Trustees also considered BlackRock’s profitability in conjunction with their review of fees. The Trustees reviewed BlackRock’s revenues, expenses and profitability margins on an after-tax basis. In reviewing profitability, the Trustees recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of allocating expenses. The Trustees also reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard, the methods of allocation used appeared reasonable but the Boards noted the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not publicly available.

          The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s pre-tax profit margin compared to the pre-tax profitability of various publicly-traded investment management companies and/or investment management companies that publicly disclose some or all of their financial results.

          In evaluating the reasonableness of BlackRock’s compensation, the Boards also considered any other revenues paid to BlackRock, including partial reimbursements paid to BlackRock for certain non-investment advisory services. The Boards noted that these payments were less than BlackRock’s costs for providing these services. The Boards also considered indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements) that BlackRock and its affiliates are expected to receive that are attributable to their management of the Trusts.

          In reviewing each Trust’s fees and expenses, the Boards examined the potential benefits of economies of scale, and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Trusts’ fee structures, for example through the use of breakpoints. In this connection, the Boards reviewed information provided by BlackRock, noting that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund-level breakpoints, as closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after their initial public offering and each fund is managed independently consistent with its

63


own investment objectives. The information also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure, and that this complex generally is homogeneous with regard to the types of funds managed and is about four times as large as the Trusts’ complex. The Boards concluded that breakpoints were not warranted at this time.

          Other Benefits. In evaluating fees, the Boards also considered indirect benefits or profits BlackRock or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the Trusts. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to BlackRock and its affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Trusts, including potential benefits accruing to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of potentially stronger relationships with members of the broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of BlackRock and its affiliates, enhanced sales of other investment funds and products sponsored by BlackRock and its affiliates and increased assets under management which may increase the benefits realized by BlackRock from soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers. The Boards also considered the unquantifiable nature of these potential benefits.

          Miscellaneous. During the Boards’ deliberations in connection with the Agreements, the Boards were aware that the Advisor pays compensation, out of its own assets, to the lead underwriter and to certain qualifying underwriters of many of its closed-end funds, and to employees of BlackRock’s affiliates that participated in the offering of such funds. The Boards considered whether the management fee met applicable standards in light of the services provided by BlackRock, without regard to whether BlackRock ultimately pays any portion of the anticipated compensation to the underwriters.

Conclusion

          The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, determined that each of the factors described above, in light of all the other factors and all of the facts and circumstances applicable to each respective Trust, was acceptable for each Trust and supported the Trustees’ conclusion that the terms of each Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Trust’s fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to the respective Trust, and that the renewal of each Agreement should be approved.

For the Income Trusts.

For the Investment Quality Trusts.

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (800)669-1BFM.

The Trusts have delegated to the Advisor the voting of proxies relating to their voting securities pursuant to the Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures. You may obtain a copy of these proxy voting policies and procedures, without charge, by calling (800) 699-1BFM. These policies and procedures are also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) at http://www.sec.gov.

Information on how proxies relating to the Trusts’ voting securities were voted (if any) by the Advisor during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30th is available without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 699-1BFM or on the website of the Commission at http://www.sec.gov.

The Trusts file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings for the first and third quarters of their respective fiscal years with the Commission on Form N-Q. Each Trust’s Form N-Q will be available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Each Trust’s Form N-Q, may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330. Each Trust’s Form N-Q, may also be obtained upon request without charge by calling (800) 699-1BFM.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
(a)          The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

(b)           Not applicable.

(c)           The Registrant has not amended its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto.

(d)           The Registrant has not granted a waiver or an implicit waiver from a provision of its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto.

(e)           Not applicable.

(f)           The Registrant's Code of Ethics is attached as an Exhibit hereto.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that it has three audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee, each of whom is an "independent" Trustee: Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer, Kent Dixon and Frank Fabozzi. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the 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 of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a)           Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $7,400 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $7,600 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

(b)           Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements and are not reported above in Item 4(a) were $427 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and


$1,800 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The nature of these services was attest services not required by statute or regulation, overhead and out-of-pocket expenses.

(c)           Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $7,500 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $11,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The nature of these services was federal, state and local income and excise tax return preparation and related advice and planning and miscellaneous tax advice.

(d)           All Other Fees. There were no fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported above in Items 4(a) through (c).

(e)           Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.
           
    (1) The Registrant has polices and procedures (the "Policy") for the pre-approval by the Registrant's Audit Committee of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Services (as each is defined in the Policy) provided by the Registrant’s independent auditor (the "Independent Auditor") to the Registrant and other "Covered Entities" (as defined below). The term of any such pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The amount of any such pre-approval is set forth in the appendices to the Policy (the "Service Pre-Approval Documents"). At its first meeting of each calendar year, the Audit Committee will approve or re-approve the Service Pre-Approval Documents for that year, together with any changes deemed necessary or desirable by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, from time to time, modify the nature of the services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees pre-approved or both.

               For the purposes of the Policy, "Covered Services" means (A) all engagements for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Independent Auditor to the Registrant and (B) all engagements for non-audit services that directly impacted the operations and financial reporting or the Registrant to be provided by the Independent Auditor to any Covered Entity. "Covered Entities" means (1) BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) or (2) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant.

               In the intervals between the scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority under this Policy to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (the "Chairman"). The Chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions under this Policy to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. At each scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee will review with the Independent Auditor the Covered Services pre-approved by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority, if any, and the fees related thereto. Based on these reviews, the Audit Committee can modify, at its discretion, the pre-approval originally granted by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority. This modification can be to the nature of services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees approved, or both. Audit Committee may modify or withdraw this delegated authority at any time the Audit Committee determines that it is appropriate to do so.


               Fee levels for all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditor and pre-approved under this Policy will be established annually by the Audit Committee and set forth in the Service Pre-Approval Documents. Any increase in pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

               The terms and fees of the annual Audit services engagement for the Registrant are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions or fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Registrant structure or other matters.

               In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, any other Audit services for the Registrant not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

               Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are not required for the audit, but are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements of the Registrant and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the other Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditor. Audit-Related services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

               The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditor can provide Tax services to the Registrant and Covered Entities such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditor in connection with a transaction, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Tax services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

               All Other services that are covered and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

               Requests or applications to provide Covered Services that require approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) must be submitted to the Audit Committee or the Chairman, as the case may be, by both the Independent Auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant or the respective Covered Entity, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, (a) the request or application is consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on auditor independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. A request or application submitted to the Chairman between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should include a discussion as to why approval is being sought prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.


              (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)           The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrant's accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, the Advisor (except for any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for each of the last two fiscal years were $1,341,450 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $835,100 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

(h)           The Registrant's Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another 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.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
The Registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee of the Registrant is comprised of: Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer; Richard E. Cavanagh; Kent Dixon and Frank J. Fabozzi.

(the "Advisor") and its sub-advisor, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the "Sub-Advisor"). The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Advisor and Sub-Advisor (the "Proxy Voting Policies") are attached as an Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL hereto.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies
Not applicable.


Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Companies and Affiliated Purchasers.
Not applicable.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The Registrant’s Nominating Committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders when a vacancy becomes available. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations which include biographical information and sets 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.
(a) The Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of this filing and have concluded, as of that date, that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in this Form N-CSR was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods and that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in this Form N-CSR was accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principle executive and principle financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(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 (17 CFR 270.30a -3(d)) that occurred during the Registrant's fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

JOINT CODE OF ETHICS
FOR
CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS
OF
THE BLACKROCK CLOSED-END FUNDS

AS ADOPTED BY THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS
MAY 2003

     Each BlackRock Closed-End Fund (each a “Trust” and, collectively, the “Trusts”)1 is committed to conducting business in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and the highest standards of business ethics, and to full and accurate disclosure -- financial and otherwise - -- in compliance with applicable law. This Code of Ethics, applicable to the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (or persons performing similar functions) (together, “Senior Officers”), sets forth policies to guide you in the performance of your duties.

     As a Senior Officer, you must comply with applicable law. You also have a responsibility to conduct yourself in an honest and ethical manner. You have leadership responsibilities that include creating a culture of high ethical standards and a commitment to compliance, maintaining a work environment that encourages the internal reporting of compliance concerns and promptly addressing compliance concerns.

     This Code of Ethics recognizes that the Senior Officers are subject to certain conflicts of interest inherent in the operation of investment companies, because the Senior Officers currently or may in the future serve as Senior Officers of each of the Trusts, as officers or employees of the Trust’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”) and/or affiliates of the Trust’s investment advisor (collectively with the Advisor, “BlackRock”) and as officers or trustees/directors of other registered investment companies and unregistered investment funds advised by BlackRock. This Code of Ethics also recognizes that certain laws and regulations applicable to, and certain policies and procedures adopted by, the Trust or BlackRock govern your conduct in connection with many of the conflict of interest situations that arise in connection with the operations of the Trust, including:


 
1 This Joint Code of Ethics for Chief Executive and Senior Financial Officers has been adopted by
  the Board of Trustees/Directors for each Trust. Solely for the sake of clarity and simplicity, this
  Joint Code of Ethics has been drafted as if there is a single Trust, a single Governance Committee
  and a single Board of Trustees/Directors. The terms “Trustees,” “Independent Trustees” and
  “Governance Committee” mean the Trustees, the Independent Trustees and the Governance
  Committee of each Trust, respectively, unless the context otherwise requires. The Trustees, the
  Independent Trustees and the Governance Committee of each Trust, however, shall act separately
  and in the best interests of its respective Trust.


  the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “1940 Act”);  
       
  the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Advisers Act”);  
       
  the Code of Ethics adopted by the Trust and the other Trusts pursuant to Rule 17j-1(c) under the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Trust’s 1940 Act Code of Ethics”);  
       
  one or more codes of ethics adopted by BlackRock that have been reviewed and approved by those trustees/directors (the “Trustees”) of the Trust that are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) within the meaning of the 1940 Act (the “BlackRock’s 1940 Act Code of Ethics” and, together with the Trust’s 1940 Act Code of Ethics, the “1940 Act Codes of Ethics”);  
       
  the policies and procedures adopted by the Trust and the other Trusts to address conflict of interest situations, such as procedures under Rule 10f-3 and Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Trust Policies”); and  
       
  BlackRock's general policies and procedures to address, among other things, conflict of interest situations and related matters (collectively, the “BlackRock Policies”).  
       

The provisions of the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, the 1940 Act Codes of Ethics, the Trust Policies and the BlackRock Policies are referred to herein collectively as the “Additional Conflict Rules”.

     This Code of Ethics is different from, and is intended to supplement, the Additional Conflict Rules. Accordingly, a violation of the Additional Conflict Rules by a Senior Officer is hereby deemed not to be a violation of this Code of Ethics, unless and until the Governance Committee of the Trustees (the “Governance Committee”) shall determine that any such violation of the Additional Conflict Rules is also a violation of this Code of Ethics.

Senior Officers Should Act Honestly and Candidly

     Each Senior Officer has a responsibility to the Trust to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Deceit and subordination of principle are inconsistent with integrity.

     Each Senior Officer must:

2


  act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information where required by law or the Additional Conflict Rules;  
       
  comply with the laws, rules and regulations that govern the conduct of the Trust’s operations and report any suspected violations thereof in accordance with the section below entitled “Compliance With Code Of Ethics”; and  
       
  adhere to a high standard of business ethics.  

Conflicts Of Interest

     A conflict of interest for the purpose of this Code of Ethics occurs when your private interests interfere in any way, or even appear to interfere, with the interests of the Trust.

     Senior Officers are expected to use objective and unbiased standards when making decisions that affect the Trust, keeping in mind that Senior Officers are subject to certain inherent conflicts of interest because Senior Officers of a Trust also are or may be officers of other Trusts, BlackRock and other funds advised or serviced by BlackRock (as a result of which it is incumbent upon you to be familiar with and to seek to comply with the Additional Conflict Rules).

     You are required to conduct the business of the Trust in an honest and ethical manner, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and business relationships. When making any investment, accepting any position or benefits, participating in any transaction or business arrangement or otherwise acting in a manner that creates or appears to create a conflict of interest with respect to the Trust where you are receiving a personal benefit, you should act in accordance with the letter and spirit of this Code of Ethics.

     If you are in doubt as to the application or interpretation of this Code of Ethics to you as a Senior Officer of the Trust, you should make full disclosure of all relevant facts and circumstances to the general counsel of BlackRock (the “General Counsel”) and obtain the approval of the General Counsel prior to taking action.

     Some conflict of interest situations that should always be approved by the General Counsel, if material, include the following:

  the receipt of any entertainment or non-nominal gift by the Senior Officer, or a member of his or her family, from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings (other than BlackRock), unless such entertainment or gift is business related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;  

3

 


  any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust’s service providers, other than BlackRock; or  
       
  a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Senior Officer's employment by BlackRock, such as compensation or equity ownership.  
       

Disclosures

     It is the policy of the Trust to make full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in all reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission or a national securities exchange and in all other public communications made by the Trust. As a Senior Officer, you are required to promote compliance with this policy and to abide by the Trust’s standards, policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with this policy.

   

Each Senior Officer must:

 
       
  familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Trust as well as the business and financial operations of the Trust; and  
       
  not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trust to others, including to the Trustees, the Trust’s independent auditors, the Trust’s counsel, counsel to the Independent Trustees, governmental regulators or self-regulatory organizations.  
       

Compliance With Code Of Ethics

     If you know of or suspect a violation of this Code of Ethics or other laws, regulations, policies or procedures applicable to the Trust, you must report that information on a timely basis to the General Counsel or report it anonymously by following the “whistle blower” policies adopted by BlackRock from time to time. No one will be subject to retaliation because of a good faith report of a suspected violation.

     The Trust will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code of Ethics, and in reporting on this Code of Ethics:

  the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any actual or potential violations reported to him or her;  
       
  violations and potential violations will be reported to the Governance Committee after such investigation;  
       

 

 

4

 


  if the Governance Committee determines that a violation has occurred, it will take all appropriate disciplinary or preventive action; and  
       
  appropriate disciplinary or preventive action may include a letter of censure, suspension, dismissal or, in the event of criminal or other serious violations of law, notification of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other appropriate law enforcement authorities.  
       

Waivers Of Code Of Ethics

     Except as otherwise provided in this Code of Ethics, the General Counsel is responsible for applying this Code of Ethics to specific situations in which questions are presented to the General Counsel and has the authority to interpret this Code of Ethics in any particular situation. The General Counsel shall take all action he or she considers appropriate to investigate any actual or potential violations reported under this Code of Ethics.

     The General Counsel is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with the chair of the Governance Committee and with counsel to the Trust, BlackRock or the Independent Trustees, and is encouraged to do so.

     The Governance Committee is responsible for granting waivers of this Code of Ethics, as appropriate. Any changes to or waivers of this Code of Ethics will, to the extent required, be disclosed on Form N-CSR, or otherwise, as provided by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Recordkeeping

     The Trust will maintain and preserve for a period of not less than six (6) years from the date an action is taken, the first two (2) years in an easily accessible place, a copy of the information or materials supplied to the Governance Committee:

  that provided the basis for any amendment or waiver to this Code of Ethics; and  
       
  relating to any violation of this Code of Ethics and sanctions imposed for such violation, together with a written record of the approval or action taken by the Governance Committee.  
       

Confidentiality

     All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code of Ethics shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code of Ethics, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Independent Trustees and their counsel, the Trust and its counsel, BlackRock and its counsel and any other advisors, consultants or counsel retained by the Trustees, the Independent Trustees or any committee of the Trustees.

5

 


Amendments

     This Code of Ethics may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved by a majority vote of the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees.

No Rights Created

     This Code of Ethics is a statement of certain fundamental principles, policies and procedures that govern each of the Senior Officers in the conduct of the Trust's business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, investor, supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other person or entity.

I agree to comply fully with the standards contained in the Code of Ethics and the Company's related policies and procedures. I understand that I have an obligation to report any suspected violations of the Code of Ethics on a timely basis to the General Counsel or report it anonymously by following the “whistle blower” policies adopted by BlackRock from time to time.

PROXY VOTING POLICY

For

BlackRock Advisors, Inc.
and Its Affiliated Registered Investment Advisers

Introduction

     This Proxy Voting Policy ("Policy") for BlackRock Advisors, Inc. and its affiliated registered investment advisers ("BlackRock") reflects our duty as a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) to vote proxies in the best interests of our clients. In addition, the Department of Labor views the fiduciary act of managing ERISA plan assets to include the voting of proxies. Proxy voting decisions must be made solely in the best interests of the pension plan’s participants and beneficiaries. The Department of Labor has interpreted this requirement as prohibiting a fiduciary from subordinating the retirement income interests of participants and beneficiaries to unrelated objectives. The guidelines in this Policy have been formulated in a manner designed to ensure decision-making consistent with these fiduciary responsibilities.

     Any general or specific proxy voting guidelines provided by an advisory client or its designated agent in writing will supercede the specific guidelines in this Policy for that client. BlackRock will disclose to our advisory clients information about this Policy as well as disclose to our clients how they may obtain information on how we voted their proxies. Additionally, BlackRock will maintain proxy voting records for our advisory clients consistent with the Advisers Act. For those of our clients that are registered investment companies, BlackRock will disclose this Policy to the shareholders of such funds and make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and make available to fund shareholders the specific proxy votes that we cast in shareholder meetings of issuers of portfolio securities in accordance with the rules and regulations under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     Registered investment companies that are advised by BlackRock as well as certain of our advisory clients may participate in securities lending programs, which may reduce or eliminate the amount of shares eligible for voting by BlackRock in accordance with this Policy if such shares are out on loan and cannot be recalled in time for the vote.

     Implicit in the initial decision to retain or invest in the security of a corporation is acceptance of its existing corporate ownership structure, its management, and its


operations. Accordingly, proxy proposals that would change the existing status of a corporation will be supported only when we conclude that the proposed changes are likely to benefit the corporation and its shareholders. Notwithstanding this favorable predisposition, we will assess management on an ongoing basis both in terms of its business capability and its dedication to shareholders to seek to ensure that our continued confidence remains warranted. If we determine that management is acting on its own behalf instead of for the well being of the corporation, we will vote to support shareholder proposals, unless we determine other mitigating circumstances are present.

     Additionally, situations may arise that involve an actual or perceived conflict of interest. For example, we may manage assets of a pension plan of a company whose management is soliciting proxies, or a BlackRock employee involved with managing an account may have a close relative who serves as a director or executive of a company that is soliciting proxies regarding securities held in such account. In all cases, we seek to vote proxies based on our clients’ best interests.

     This Policy and its attendant recommendations attempt to generalize a complex subject. It should be clearly understood that specific fact situations, including differing voting practices in jurisdictions outside the United States, might warrant departure from these guidelines. In such instances, we will consider the facts we believe are relevant, and if we vote contrary to these guidelines we will record the reasons for this contrary vote.

     Section I of the Policy describes proxy proposals that may be characterized as routine and lists examples of the types of proposals we would typically support. Section II of the Policy describes various types of non-routine proposals and provides general voting guidelines. These non-routine proposals are categorized as those involving:

A. Social Issues,
B. Financial/Corporate Issues, and
C. Shareholder Rights.

Finally, Section III of the Policy describes the procedures we follow in casting votes pursuant to these guidelines.


SECTION I

ROUTINE MATTERS

     Routine proxy proposals, amendments, or resolutions are typically proposed by management and meet the following criteria:

      1.      They do not measurably change the structure, management control, or operation of the corporation.
 
  2. They are consistent with industry standards as well as the corporate laws of the state of incorporation.
 

Voting Recommendation

     BlackRock will normally support the following routine proposals:

      1.      To increase authorized common shares.
 
  2. To increase authorized preferred shares as long as there are not disproportionate voting rights per preferred share.
 
  3. To elect or re-elect directors, except as noted below.
 
  4. To appoint or elect auditors.
 
  5. To approve indemnification of directors and limitation of directors’ liability.
 
  6. To establish compensation levels.
 
  7. To establish employee stock purchase or ownership plans.
 
  8. To set time and location of annual meeting.
 

     BlackRock will withhold its vote for a nominee to the board if he or she failed to attend at least 75% of the board meetings in the previous year without a valid reason. In addition, BlackRock will withhold its vote for all nominees standing for election to a board if (1) since the last annual meeting of shareholders and without shareholder approval, the board or its compensation committee has repriced underwater options; or (2) within the last year, shareholders approved by majority vote a resolution recommending that the board rescind a “poison pill” and the board has failed to take responsive action to that resolution. Responsive action would include the rescission of the “poison pill” (without a broad reservation to reinstate the “poison pill” in the event of a hostile tender offer), or public assurances that the terms of the “poison pill” would be put to a binding shareholder vote within the next five to seven years.

     BlackRock evaluates a contested election of directors on a case-by-case basis considering the long-term financial performance of the company relative to its industry, management’s track record, the qualifications of the nominees for both slates and an evaluation of what each side is offering shareholders.


SECTION II

NON-ROUTINE PROPOSALS

A. Social Issues

     Proposals in this category involve issues of social conscience. They are typically proposed by shareholders who believe that the corporation’s internally adopted policies are ill-advised or misguided.

Voting Recommendation

     If we have determined that management is generally socially responsible, we will generally vote against the following shareholder proposals:

      1.      To enforce restrictive energy policies.
 
  2. To place arbitrary restrictions on military contracting.
 
  3. To bar or place arbitrary restrictions on trade with other countries.
 
  4. To restrict the marketing of controversial products.
 
  5. To limit corporate political activities.
 
  6. To bar or restrict charitable contributions.
 
  7. To enforce a general policy regarding human rights based on arbitrary parameters.
 
  8. To enforce a general policy regarding employment practices based on arbitrary parameters.
 
  9. To enforce a general policy regarding animal rights based on arbitrary parameters.
 
  10. To place arbitrary restrictions on environmental practices.
 

B. Financial/Corporate Issues

     Proposals in this category are usually offered by management and seek to change a corporation’s legal, business or financial structure.

Voting Recommendation

     We will generally vote in favor of the following management proposals provided the position of current shareholders is preserved or enhanced:

      1.      To change the state of incorporation.
 
  2. To approve mergers, acquisitions or dissolution.
 
  3. To institute indenture changes.
 
  4. To change capitalization.
 

C. Shareholder Rights

     Proposals in this category are made regularly both by management and shareholders. They can be generalized as involving issues that transfer or realign board or shareholder voting power.

     We typically would oppose any proposal aimed solely at thwarting potential takeover offers by requiring, for example, super-majority approval. At the same time, we believe stability and continuity promote profitability. The guidelines in this area seek to find a middle road, and they are no more than guidelines. Individual proposals may have to be carefully assessed in the context of their particular circumstances.

Voting Recommendation

     We will generally vote for the following management proposals:

      1.      To require majority approval of shareholders in acquisitions of a controlling share in the corporation.
 
  2. To institute staggered board of directors.
 
  3. To require shareholder approval of not more than 66 2/3% for a proposed amendment to the corporation’s by-laws.
 
  4. To eliminate cumulative voting.
 
  5. To adopt anti-greenmail charter or by-law amendments or to otherwise restrict a company’s ability to make greenmail payments.
 
  6. To create a dividend reinvestment program.
 
  7. To eliminate preemptive rights.
 
  8. To eliminate any other plan or procedure designed primarily to discourage a takeover or other similar action (commonly known as a “poison pill”).
 
  9. To adopt or continue a stock option or restricted stock plan if all such plans for a particular company do not involve excessive dilution.
 

     We will generally vote against the following management proposals:

      1.      To require greater than 66 2/3% shareholder approval for a proposed amendment to the corporation’s by-laws (“super-majority provisions”).
 
  2. To require that an arbitrary fair price be offered to all shareholders that is derived from a fixed formula (“fair price amendments”).
 
  3. To authorize a new class of common stock or preferred stock which may have more votes per share than the existing common stock.
 
  4. To prohibit replacement of existing members of the board of directors.
 
  5. To eliminate shareholder action by written consent without a shareholder meeting.
 
  6. To allow only the board of directors to call a shareholder meeting or to propose amendments to the articles of incorporation.
 
  7. To implement any other action or procedure designed primarily to discourage
 

        a takeover or other similar action (commonly known as a “poison pill”).
 
  8.      To limit the ability of shareholders to nominate directors.
 
  9. To adopt or continue a stock option or restricted stock plan if plan contributes to excessive dilution.
 

     We will generally vote for the following shareholder proposals:

      1.      To rescind share purchases rights or require that they be submitted for shareholder approval, but only if the vote required for approval is not more than 66 2/3%.
 
  2. To opt out of state anti-takeover laws deemed to be detrimental to the shareholder.
 
  3. To change the state of incorporation for companies operating under the umbrella of anti-shareholder state corporation laws if another state is chosen with favorable laws in this and other areas.
 
  4. To eliminate any other plan or procedure designed primarily to discourage a takeover or other similar action.
 
  5. To permit shareholders to participate in formulating management’s proxy and the opportunity to discuss and evaluate management’s director nominees, and/or to nominate shareholder nominees to the board.
 
  6. To require that the board’s audit, compensation, and/or nominating committees be comprised exclusively of independent directors.
 
  7. To adopt anti-greenmail charter or by-law amendments or otherwise restrict a company’s ability to make greenmail payments.
 
  8. To create a dividend reinvestment program.
 
  9. To recommend that votes to “abstain” not be considered votes “cast” at an annual meeting or special meeting, unless required by state law.
 
  10. To require that “golden parachutes” be submitted for shareholder ratification.
 
  11. To rescind a stock option or restricted stock plan if the plan contributes to excessive dilution.
 

     We will generally vote against the following shareholder proposals:

      1.      To restore preemptive rights.
 
  2. To restore cumulative voting.
 
  3. To require annual election of directors or to specify tenure.
 
  4. To eliminate a staggered board of directors.
 
  5. To require confidential voting.
 
  6. To require directors to own a minimum amount of company stock in order to qualify as a director or to remain on the board.
 
  7. To dock director pay for failing to attend board meetings.
 
  8. To rescind a stock option or restricted stock plan if the plan does not contribute to excessive dilution.
 
  9. To prohibit the provision of any non-audit services by a company’s auditors to the company.
 

SECTION III

VOTING PROCESS

     BlackRock has engaged an independent third-party service provider to assist us in the voting of proxies. These guidelines have been provided to this service provider, who then analyzes all proxy solicitations we receive for our clients and makes recommendations to us as to how, based upon our guidelines, the relevant votes should be cast. These recommendations are set out in a report that is provided to the relevant BlackRock Portfolio Management Group team, who must approve the proxy vote in writing and return such written approval to the BlackRock Operations Group (e-mail is deemed to be a writing). If any authorized member of a Portfolio Management Group team desires to vote in a manner that differs from the third-party service provider recommendation, the reason for such differing vote shall be noted in the written approval form sent to the BlackRock Operations Group. The head of each relevant BlackRock Portfolio Management Group team is responsible for making sure that proxies are voted in a timely manner. The BlackRock Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee (or similar or successor committee, the “EIPOC”) receives regular reports of votes cast that differ from recommendations made by the third-party service provider and votes cast that may have involved a material conflict of interest. The EIPOC also review these guidelines from time to time to determine their continued appropriateness and whether any changes to the guidelines or the proxy voting process should be made.

     Votes may involve a conflict of interest if (i) the vote is proposed to be cast in a manner that differs from the third-party service provider recommendation and (ii) the subject matter of the proxy involves a party that has a material relationship with BlackRock, or the issuer of the proxy has such a relationship, such as where the issuer soliciting the vote is a BlackRock client. The BlackRock Operations Group identifies potential conflicts of interest and then refers any potential conflict to BlackRock’s Legal and Compliance Department for review prior to a vote being cast.

     With respect to votes in connection with securities held on a particular record date but sold from a client account prior to the holding of the related meeting, BlackRock may take no action on proposals to be voted on in such meeting.

     With respect to voting proxies of non-U.S. companies, a number of logistical problems may arise that may have a detrimental effect on BlackRock’s ability to vote such proxies in the best interests of our clients. These problems include, but are not limited to, (i) untimely and/or inadequate notice of shareholder meetings, (ii) restrictions on the ability of holders outside the issuer's jurisdiction of organization to exercise votes, (iii) requirements to vote proxies in person, if not practicable, (iv) the imposition of restrictions on the sale of the securities for a period of time in proximity to the shareholder meeting, and (v) impracticable or inappropriate requirements to provide local


agents with power of attorney to facilitate the voting instructions. Accordingly, BlackRock may determine not to vote proxies if it believes that the restrictions or other detriments associated with such vote outweigh the benefits that will be derived by voting on the company's proposal.

     Any questions regarding this Policy may be directed to the General Counsel of BlackRock.
