Dear Shareholder

Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed a seismic shift in market sentiment — from fear and pessimism during the worst economic decline and crisis

of confidence in financial markets since The Great Depression to increasing optimism amid emerging signs of recovery. The period began in the midst of an

intense deterioration in global economic activity and financial markets in the final months of 2008 and the early months of 2009. The collapse of confi-

dence resulted in massive government policy intervention on a global scale in the financial system and the economy. The tide turned dramatically in March

2009, however, on the back of new US government initiatives, as well as better-than-expected economic data and upside surprises in corporate earnings.

Not surprisingly, global equity markets endured extreme volatility over the past 12 months, starting with steep declines and heightened risk aversion in the

early part of the reporting period, which eventually gave way to an impressive rally that began in March. Although there have been fits and starts along the

way and a few modest corrections, the new bull market has pushed all major US indices well into positive territory for 2009. The experience in international

markets was similar to that in the United States. In particular, emerging markets (which were less affected by the global credit crunch and are experiencing

faster economic growth rates when compared to the developed world) have posted impressive gains since the rally began.

In fixed income markets, the flight-to-safety premium in Treasury securities prevailed during the equity market downturn, which drove yields sharply lower,

but concerns about deficit spending, debt issuance, inflation and dollar weakness have kept Treasury yields range bound in recent months. As economic

and market conditions began to improve in early 2009, near-zero interest rates on risk-free assets prompted many investors to reallocate money from cash

investments into higher-yielding and riskier non-Treasury assets. The high yield sector was the greatest beneficiary of this move, having decisively outpaced

all other taxable asset classes since the start of 2009. Similarly, the municipal bond market is on pace for its best performance year ever in 2009, following

one of its worst years in 2008. Investor demand remains strong for munis, helping to create a highly favorable technical backdrop. Municipal bond mutual

funds are seeing record inflows, reflecting the renewed investor interest in the asset class.

As a result of the rebound in sentiment and global market conditions, most major benchmark indexes are now in positive territory for both the

6- and 12-month periods.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (BKN) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide high current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the
issuer, is exempt from regular federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 23.85% based on market price and 15.88% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the
same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 16.28% on a market price basis and
14.93% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. During the period, the Trust moved from a discount to a premium to NAV, which
accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. During the period, the Trust maintained heavy exposure
to A– and BBB-rated credits. Additionally, the Trust was positioned with a longer duration relative to its Lipper peers, and its holdings primarily comprised
longer-dated bonds. These factors benefited total return as credit spreads narrowed and there was a combined curve flattening with an overall rally in
prices. On a sector basis, the Trust’s significant holdings in housing and health contributed positively as these sectors outperformed. Lastly, fund manage-
ment was active in the new-issue market, adding attractively-structured bonds at a discount to where similar credits were trading in the secondary market.
Conversely, the Trust held fewer discount-coupon bonds, which saw the most price appreciation as municipal yields fell during the period; this detracted
from results. Moreover, the Trust’s dividend to the shareholder was below the average of its Lipper peers.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust

Investment Objective

BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust (BTA) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is
exempt from regular federal income tax.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 16.37% based on market price and 16.69% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 16.28% on a market price basis and 14.93% on a
NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust's discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between
performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Positive performance factors included concentrations in education, health, tobacco and
corporate-related debt. Renewed risk appetite was also beneficial, given the Trust’s focus on lower-rated credits. In addition, the Trust’s long duration stance
and emphasis on longer-dated bonds were significant positive contributors as yields on the long end of the curve fell substantially. Negative factors included
less exposure to the tax-backed and essential services sectors.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust

Investment Objective

BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust (BKK) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and to return $15 per
share (the initial public offering price) on or about December 31, 2020.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 17.06% based on market price and 17.08% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 16.28% on a market price basis and 14.93% on a
NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s premium to NAV, which remained substantially unchanged during the period, accounts for
the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s allocation to lower-rated issues with longer maturities bene-
fited performance as the high yield sector outperformed, with credit spreads contracting as the overall market improved and yields declined. Conversely, the
Trust’s short-duration bias detracted from performance in an environment where yields fell. The Trust is managed to meet a 2020 termination date, and as
such, maintains a generally shorter duration than that of its Lipper category, which comprises longer-duration funds. Accordingly, the Trust did not fully bene-
fit from the price appreciation that occurred amongst longer-dated securities.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust

Investment Objective

BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust (BPS) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide monthly income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer,
is exempt from regular federal and Pennsylvania income taxes.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 24.45% based on market price and 16.96% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 16.92% on a market price basis and 12.05% on a NAV basis.
All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance
based on price and performance based on NAV. A higher concentration in interest-rate-sensitive bonds benefited Trust performance as rates steadily
declined through the period. Certain sector allocations also contributed to the Trust’s performance, specifically the long-term care and continuing care retire-
ment communities sector, bonds escrowed to maturity, and US territories (i.e., Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands). Conversely, low exposure to both
the corporate and non-investment-grade credit sectors detracted from the Trust’s performance as credit spreads tightened and these issues outperformed.
The Trust’s moderate cash level had no impact on performance.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust

Investment Objective

BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust (BSD) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide high current income, which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is
exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 20.81% based on market price and 16.91% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 16.28% on a market price basis and 14.93% on a
NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between
performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Positive performance factors included concentrations in education, health, transportation and
corporate-related debt. Renewed risk appetite was also beneficial, given the Trust’s focus on lower-rated credits. In addition, the Trust’s long duration stance
and emphasis on longer-dated bonds were significant positive contributors as yields on the long end of the curve fell substantially. Negative factors included
less exposure to the tax-backed, essential services and tobacco sectors. The Trust’s cash reserves had no impact on performance.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

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

To leverage, all the Trusts, except for BTA, issue Preferred Shares, which pay
dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in
long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based
on the premise that the 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 Trust on its longer-term portfolio investments. To
the extent that the total assets of each Trust (including the assets obtained
from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each
Trust’s Common Shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trust’s Common Shares capitalization
is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million,
creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term
municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-
term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In
this case, the Trust pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares
based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securi-
ties purchased by the Trust with assets received from Preferred Shares
issuance earn the income based on long-term interest rates. In this case,
the dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than
the income earned on the Trust’s long-term investments, and therefore the
Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.

If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-
term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on
the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore,
if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of
6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Trust pays divi-
dends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Trust’s total port-
folio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of the Trusts’ portfolio investments generally varies
inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors
can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemp-
tion value of the Trusts’ Preferred Shares do not fluctuate in relation to inter-
est rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Trusts’ NAV
positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Trust performance from
leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.

The Trusts may also 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 Trusts with economic
benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the
Trusts to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to

those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts, as described
above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds
deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Trust’s NAVs per
share.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the
Trusts and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates
risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will gen-
erally cause greater changes in the Trusts’ NAV, market price 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 Trusts’ net income will be greater than if leverage had
not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is
not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Trust’s net income will be
less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount avail-
able for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Trust
may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at dis-
tressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable
to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments,
which may cause a Trust to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each
Trust’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of
hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by
ratings agencies that rate preferred shares issued by the Trusts. Each Trust
will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are
borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common
Shares.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trusts are permitted to
issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50% of their total managed
assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Trust
anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or
TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such
leverage is incurred. As of October 31, 2009, the Trusts had economic
leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total
managed assets as follows:

  Percent of 
  Leverage 
BKN  38% 
BTA  37% 
BKK  39% 
BFK  38% 
BPS  38% 
BSD  38% 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts may invest in various derivative instruments, including finan-
cial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial
Statements, which 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 and
illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Trusts’ ability to successfully use
a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accu-

rately predict 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 the Trusts to sell or purchase portfolio securi-
ties at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of
appreciation the Trusts can realize on an investment or may cause the
Trusts to hold a security that they might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ invest-
ments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to
Financial Statements.

Schedule of Investments (concluded) BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (BKN)

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
Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Trust’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 October 31, 2009 in deter-

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
Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Trust’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 October 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments:

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   
  Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)   
       The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-   
       tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about   
       the Trust’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 October 31, 2009 in deter-

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“BKN”) is organized
as a Maryland corporation. BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage
Trust (“BTA”), BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust (“BKK”), BlackRock
Municipal Income Trust (“BFK”), BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic
Municipal Trust (“BPS”) and BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust (“BSD”)
(collectively, the “Trusts” or individually as the “Trust”) are organized as
Delaware statutory trusts. BKN, BKK, BFK and BSD are registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as
diversified, closed-end management investment companies. BTA and BPS
are registered under the 1940 Act as non-diversified, closed-end manage-
ment investment companies. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and
estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Board of
Directors and the Board of Trustees of the Trusts are referred to throughout
this report as the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board.” Each Trust determines,
and makes available for publication the net asset value of its Common
Shares on a daily basis.

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

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 super-
vision of each Trust’s Board. In determining the value of a particular
investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to
transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes,
market transactions in comparable investments and information with
respect to various relationships between investments. Financial futures
contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Short-
term securities with maturities less than 60 days 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 by a method approved by each Trust’s Board as reflecting fair value
(“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the
investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that
each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that
asset in an arm’s length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be
based upon all available factors that the 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: Each
Trust 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 Trusts 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
Trusts 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-delivery basis, the
Trusts assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including
the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the coun-
terparty, the Trusts’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized gain of the
commitment, which is shown on the Schedules of Investments, if any.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Trusts
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 Trust has con-
tributed securities. 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 Trust include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the holders of a propor-
tional share of the floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at
par, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the
municipal bonds from the TOB to the Trust. The TOB may also be terminated
without the consent of the Trust 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 quar-
terly 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 the Trust, which typically
invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Each Trust’s transfer of the
municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, there-
fore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Trust’s
Schedules of Investments and the proceeds from the issuance of the short-
term floating rate certificates shown on the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities as trust certificates.

Interest income from the underlying securities is recorded by the Trusts on
an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and
other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services
to a TOB are reported as expenses of the Trusts. The floating rate certifi-
cates 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 October 31, 2009, the aggregate value of the underlying
municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 43


Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 
certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for trust certifi- 
cates were as follows:       
Underlying
Municipal
  Bonds  Liability   
  Transferred  for Trust  Range of 
  to TOBs  Certificates  Interest Rates 
BKN  $ 21,162,415  $11,137,401  0.24% – 0.49% 
BTA  $126,765,179  $84,715,000  0.12% – 0.70% 
BKK  $ 5,446,700  $ 3,750,000  0.49% 
BFK  $122,456,994  $68,583,502  0.20% – 0.57% 
BPS  $ 1,013,490  $ 500,000  0.25% 
BSD  $ 22,943,174  $12,506,383  0.20% – 0.49% 
For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trusts’ average trust cer- 
tificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate, including 
fees, were as follows:       
      Daily 
      Weighted 
    Average Trust  Average 
    Certificates  Interest 
    Outstanding  Rate 
BKN    $10,813,206  0.61% 
BTA    $80,187,243  1.09% 
BKK    $ 3,750,000  0.59% 
BFK    $61,385,238  0.47% 
BPS    $ 488,281  0.64% 
BSD    $10,967,379  0.46% 

Should short-term interest rates rise, the Trusts’ investments in TOBs may
adversely affect the Trusts’ investment income and distributions to Common
Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds
deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Trusts’ net asset value
per share.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: Each Trust 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 a Trust either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connec-
tion with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts) each Trust
will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by
the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or
other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount
that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore,
based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third
party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit secu-
rities 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
security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized

on the accrual method. Each Trust amortizes all premiums and discounts
on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are
declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on
the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions to Preferred Shareholders
are accrued and determined as described in Note 6.

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

Each Trust files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No
income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limita-
tions on the Trusts’ US federal tax returns remain open for the year or period
ended April 30, 2009 and the preceding three taxable years of the respec-
tive Trust. The statutes of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns
may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Standards: In June 2009, amended guidance was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for transfers of finan-
cial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, represen-
tational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting
entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial
assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial perform-
ance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any,
in transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and
measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers
occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclo-
sure provisions of the amended guidance should be applied to transfers
that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The
impact of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statements and disclosures,
if any, is currently being assessed.

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

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder
represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each
Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of other
certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees
in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to
cover each Trust’s deferred compensation liability are included in other
assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distribu-
tions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are
included in income — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Other: Expenses directly related to each Trust are charged to that
Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated
among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other
appropriate methods.

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Trusts may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to
increase the returns of the Trusts and to economically hedge, or protect,
their exposure to interest rate risk. Losses may arise if the value of the
contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the value of the
underlying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from their counterparties
are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Trusts bear the
risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation
and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices.
Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is
minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the
exchange on which they trade.

Financial Futures Contracts: The Trusts may purchase or sell financial
futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain expo-
sure 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 or yield. Pursuant
to the contract, the Trusts agree to receive from or pay to the broker an
amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such
receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by
the Trusts as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the
Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it
was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an
imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures
contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America
Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc.
(“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for
1940 Act purposes, but BAC is not.

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock
Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ investment advisor, an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and
administration services.

The Manager is responsible for the management of each Trust’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of each Trust. For such services,
each Trust pays the Manager a monthly fee of the Trust’s average weekly net
assets at the following annual rates:

BKN  0.35% 
BTA  1.00% 
BKK  0.50% 
BFK  0.60% 
BPS  0.60% 
BSD  0.60% 

Average weekly net assets for all of the Trusts, except BTA, is the average
weekly value of each Trust’s total assets minus the sum of its accrued lia-
bilities. For BTA, average weekly net assets is the average weekly value of
the Trust’s total assets minus the sum of its total liabilities.

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment
advisory fee as a percentage of net assets as follows:

  Through  Rate 
BTA  January 31, 2008 – January 31, 2011  0.40% 
  January 31, 2012  0.30% 
  January 31, 2013  0.20% 
  January 31, 2014  0.10% 
BFK  July 31, 2008 – July 31, 2009  0.10% 
  July 31, 2010  0.05% 
For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Manager waived the fol- 
lowing amounts, which are included in fees waived by advisor in the 
Statements of Operations.   
    Fees Waived 
    by Manager 
BTA    $278,179 
BFK    $323,964 

Additionally, the Manager has agreed to waive its advisory fees by the
amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indi-
rectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, which are
included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations. For the
six months ended October 31, 2009, the amounts waived were as follows:

  Fees Waived 
  by Manager 
BKN  $ 7,501 
BTA  $ 1,697 
BKK  $ 2,680 
BFK  $11,363 
BPS  $ 1,214 
BSD  $ 2,936 

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 45


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with
BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Manager,
under which the Manager pays BFM, for services it provides, a monthly fee
that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Trusts to
the Manager.

BKN has an Administration Agreement with the Manager. The administration
fee paid to the Manager is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the
Trust’s average weekly net assets including proceeds from the issuance of
Preferred Shares and TOBs.

For the six months ended October 31, 2009, certain Trust’s reimbursed the
Manager for certain accounting services in the following amounts, which
are included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations.

  Reimbursement 
BTA  $2,396 
BKK  $4,370 
BFK  $8,937 
BPS  $ 428 
BSD  $1,234 

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or directors of
BlackRock or its affiliates. The Trusts reimburse the Manager for compensa-
tion paid to the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer.

4. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the
six months ended October 31, 2009 were as follows:

  Purchases  Sales 
BKN  $ 85,896,962  $ 75,472,356 
BTA  $ 54,084,061  $ 45,547,898 
BKK  $ 23,253,635  $ 17,193,457 
BFK  $114,766,354  $102,759,562 
BPS  $ 7,090,667  $ 6,242,835 
BSD  $ 23,954,360  $ 26,237,766 

5. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

Each Trust invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located
in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules
of Investments for concentrations in specific states.

Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which reduces the risk
of loss due to issuer default. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate
for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insur-
ance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.

In the normal course of business, the Trusts invest in securities and enter
into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market
risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit
risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to
certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securi-
ties are owned by the Trusts; conditions affecting the general economy;
overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or eco-
nomic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations.
Similar to credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty risk, or
the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open trans-
actions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts

to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash
due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to credit and
counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated
by their value recorded in the Trusts’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities,
less any collateral held by the Trusts.

6. Capital Share Transactions:

BTA, BKK, BFK, BPS and BSD are authorized to issue an unlimited number
of shares, including Preferred Shares, par value $0.001 per share, all of
which were initially classified as Common Shares. BKN is authorized to
issue 200 million shares, including Preferred Shares, all of which were
initially classified as Common Shares par value $0.01 per share. Each
Trust’s Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares
without approval of Common Shareholders.

Common Shares

At October 31, 2009, the shares owned by an affiliate of the Manager of
the Trusts were as follows:

      Shares 
BTA      9,704 
BKK      8,028 
For the periods shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by the fol- 
lowing amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:     
  Six Months  Period   
  Ended  Ended  Year Ended 
  October 31,  April 30,  April 30, 
  2009  2009  2008 
BKN  22,772    138,790 
BFK  79,374  31,369  152,320 
BPS      1,436 
BSD  1,237    6,166 

Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for BTA and BKK for the
current period, prior year and two years prior.

Preferred Shares

The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole
or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference
plus any accumulated unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The
Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at their liqui-
dation preference 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 Statement of
Preferences/Articles Supplementary (“Governing Instrument”), as applica-
ble, are not satisfied.

From time to time in the future, each Trust that has issued Preferred Shares
may effect repurchases of such shares at prices below their liquidation
preferences as agreed upon by the Trusts and seller. Each Trust also may
redeem such shares from time to time as provided in the applicable
Governing Instrument. The Trust intends to effect such redemptions and/or
repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage
requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine.

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

46 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

of Common Shares (one vote per share) 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 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 sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change
its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to
cease to be an investment company.

The Trusts had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding, effec-
tive yields and reset frequency at October 31, 2009:

        Reset 
    Preferred  Effective  Frequency 
  Series  Shares       Yield  Days 
BKN  T7  2,804       0.43%  7 
  T28  2,234       0.43%  28 
BKK  M7  2,318       0.43%  7 
  W7  2,318       0.43%  7 
  F7  2,318       0.43%  7 
BFK  M7  2,167       0.43%  7 
  T7  2,167       0.43%  7 
  W7  2,167       0.43%  7 
  R7  2,167       0.41%  7 
  F7  2,167       0.43%  7 
BPS  W7  653       0.43%  7 
BSD  W7  1,719       0.43%  7 

Dividends on seven-day and 28-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at
a rate which is reset every seven or 28 days, respectively, based on the
results of an auction. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an
auction date, the affected Trust is required to pay the maximum applicable
rate on the Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive divi-
dend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The
maximum applicable rate on all series of Preferred Shares is the higher of
110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P
30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.
The low, high and average dividend rates on the Preferred Shares for each
Trust for the six months ended October 31, 2009 were as follows:

  Series  Low  High  Average 
BKN  T7  0.40%  0.67%  0.50% 
  T28  0.40%  0.63%  0.49% 
BKK  M7  0.40%  0.76%  0.50% 
  W7  0.38%  0.66%  0.50% 
  F7  0.35%  0.76%  0.50% 
BFK  M7  0.40%  0.76%  0.50% 
  T7  0.40%  0.67%  0.50% 
  W7  0.38%  0.66%  0.50% 
  R7  0.35%  0.64%  0.49% 
  F7  0.35%  0.76%  0.50% 
BPS  W7  0.38%  0.66%  0.50% 
BSD  W7  0.38%  0.66%  0.50% 

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of each Trust failed to clear
any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were
reset to the maximum applicable rate that ranged from 0.35% to 0.76% for
the six months ended October 31, 2009. A failed auction is not an event of

default for the Trusts but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of
Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a
trust’s auction rate preferred shares than buyers. It is impossible to predict
how long this imbalance will last. A successful auction for the Trusts’
Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity
does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not have the ability to sell the
Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference.

The Trusts may not declare dividends or make other distributions on
Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the decla-
ration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the out-
standing Preferred Shares is less than 200%.

The Trusts pay commissions of 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount
of all shares that successfully clear their auctions and 0.15% on the
aggregate principal amount of all shares that fail to clear their auctions.
Certain broker-dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions for
failed auctions.

During the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trusts announced the
following redemptions of Preferred Shares at a price of $25,000 per share
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption dates:

    Redemption  Shares  Aggregate 
  Series  Date  Redeemed  Principal

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board of Trustees (each, a “Board” and, collectively, the “Boards,” and
the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each of
BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust (“BKN”), BlackRock Long-
Term Municipal Advantage Trust (“BTA”), BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term
Trust (“BKK”), BlackRock Municipal Income Trust (“BFK”), BlackRock
Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust (“BPS”) and BlackRock Strategic
Municipal Trust (“BSD,” and together with BKN, BTA, BKK, BFK and BPS,
each a “Fund,” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met on April 14, 2009 and
May 28 – 29, 2009 to consider the approval of each Fund’s investment
advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock
Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. Each
Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (each,
a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between its respective Fund, the Manager
and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor”). 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.” Unless otherwise indicated, references to
actions taken by the “Board” or the “Boards” shall mean each Board
acting independently with respect to its respective Fund.

Activities and Composition of the Boards

Each Board consists of twelve individuals, ten of whom are not “interested
persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The
Board Members of each Fund are responsible for the oversight of the oper-
ations of such Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the direc-
tors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board
Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in con-
nection with their duties. The Chairman of each Board is an Independent
Board Member. Each Board has established five standing committees:
an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compli-
ance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive
Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members
(except for the Executive Committee, which has one interested Board
Member) and is chaired by an Independent Board Member. In addition,
each Board has established an Ad Hoc Committee on Auction Market
Preferred Shares.

The Agreements

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

Throughout the year, the Boards, acting directly and through their commit-
tees, consider at each of their meetings factors that are relevant to their
annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the serv-
ices and support provided by BlackRock to the Funds and their shareholders.

Among the matters the Boards considered were: (a) investment perform-
ance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer
funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management
and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any out performance or
underperformance against each Fund’s peers; (b) fees, including advisory
fees and, with respect to BKN, administration fees, and other amounts paid
to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for services such as call center
and fund accounting; (c) the Funds’ operating expenses; (d) the resources
devoted to, and compliance reports relating to, the Funds’ investment
objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds’ compliance with their
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 Boards; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions;
(j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Funds’ valuation and liquidity proce-
dures; and (k) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: Prior to the April 14, 2009 meeting, each Board
requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements.
Each Board is engaged in an ongoing process with BlackRock to continu-
ously review the nature and scope of the information provided to better
assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the
April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and pre-
pared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the invest-
ment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds
as determined by Lipper and, where applicable, a customized peer group
selected by BlackRock (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the prof-
itability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out bene-
fits 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 open-end
funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of
such other clients; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary
of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (f) an internal
comparison of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable.

At an in-person meeting held on April 14, 2009, each Board reviewed
materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the
discussions that occurred during the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards
presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional informa-
tion and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written
information in advance of the May 28 – 29, 2009 Board meeting.

At an in-person meeting held on May 28 – 29, 2009, each Fund’s Board,
including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the
continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and such
Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between such Fund, the Manager
and the Sub-Advisor, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. The
Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to the

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 49


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

Funds, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of
the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the
Funds and BlackRock portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the
cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and certain
affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (d) economies of scale;
and (e) other factors.

Each Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the
approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing
of its respective Fund’s portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits
to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their rela-
tionship with such Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with
respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s
review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage
in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards 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: Each Board, including its
Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of
services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services
and the resulting performance of its respective Fund. Throughout the year,
each Board compared its respective Fund’s performance to the perform-
ance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, and the performance
of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior
management personnel responsible for investment operations, including
the senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed the materials
provided by its respective Fund’s portfolio management team discussing
such Fund’s performance and such Fund’s investment objective, strategies
and outlook.

Each Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and
experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and its respec-
tive Fund’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio man-
agers 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. Each Board
also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure
with respect to its respective Fund’s portfolio management team and
BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.

In addition to advisory services, each Board considered the quality of
the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to its
respective Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders
provide the Funds with certain administrative and other services (in addi-
tion to any such services provided to the Funds by third parties) and offi-
cers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds.
In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates
provide the Funds with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure doc-
uments, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional informa-
tion in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder

reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary
market trading of the Funds; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pric-
ing; (iv) preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges;
(v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers;
(vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board
meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; and (viii) perform-
ing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Funds,
such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call cen-
ter services. The Boards 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 the Funds and BlackRock: Each Board,
including its Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered
the performance history of its respective Fund. In preparation for the April 14,
2009 meeting, the Boards were provided with reports, independently pre-
pared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s
performance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis
of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various
factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, each
Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment per-
formance of its respective Fund as compared to a representative group
of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in such Fund’s
applicable Lipper category and, where applicable, a customized peer group
selected by BlackRock. Each Board was provided with a description of the
methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. Each Board regularly
reviews the performance of its respective Fund throughout the year.

The Board of BPS noted that, in general, BPS performed better than its
Peers in that BPS’s performance was at or above the median of its Lipper
performance universe composite in two of the one-, three- and five-year
periods reported.

The Board of each of BKN, BFK and BSD noted that, in general, each of
BKN, BFK and BSD performed better than their respective Peers in that the
performance of each of BKN, BFK and BSD was at or above the median of
their respective customized Lipper peer group composite in each of the
one-, three- and five-year periods reported.

The Board of BKK noted that BKK performed below the median of its
Lipper performance universe composite in the one-, three- and five-year
periods reported. The Board of BKK and BlackRock reviewed the reasons
for BKK’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers.
The Board of BKK was informed that, among other things, performance was
heavily influenced by BKK’s sector allocation which experienced volatile
market movement last year.

The Board of BTA noted that BTA performed below the median of its cus-
tomized Lipper peer group composite in the one-year period reported. The
Board of BTA and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for BTA’s underperformance
during this period compared with its Peers. The Board of BTA was informed

50 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009


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

that, among other things, BTA’s above market weight exposure to both credit
and the long end of the yield curve negatively impacted performance.

For BKK and BTA, the Board of each respective Fund and BlackRock dis-
cussed BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to
assist the portfolio managers and to improve each such Fund’s performance.

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 the Funds: Each Board, including its Independent
Board Members, reviewed its respective Fund’s contractual advisory fee
rates compared with the other funds in its respective Lipper category.
Each Board also compared its respective Fund’s total expenses, as well
as actual management fees, to those of other comparable funds. Each
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 Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s
financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided
the Funds. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that
detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for
services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitabil-
ity with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee
for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to available aggregate
profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2007. The
Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund com-
plexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards 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 Boards recognized that profitability
may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee
waivers by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense alloca-
tions and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is
somewhat limited.

The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitabil-
ity of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent
such information is available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s overall
operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading
investment management firms whose operations include advising closed-
end funds, among other product types. The comparison indicated that
operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are
generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly
traded competitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other
things, certain third-party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin
with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms, which con-
cluded that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher
profit margins.

In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to the
Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to

the management and distribution of the Funds and the other funds advised
by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of their analysis, the Boards reviewed
BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the
Funds. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial
resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment manage-
ment personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to con-
tinue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards.

The Board of each of BKN, BKK, BFK, BPS and BSD noted that its respec-
tive Fund paid contractual management fees, which do not take into account
any expense reimbursement or fee waivers, lower than or equal to the
median contractual management fees paid by such Fund’s Peers.

The Board of BTA noted that although BTA paid contractual management
fees higher than the median of its Peers, its actual management fees were
lower than or equal to the median of its Peers.

D. Economies of Scale: Each Board, including its Independent Board
Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be
realized as the assets of its respective Fund increase and whether there
should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable
such Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through
the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the assets of such
Fund. The Boards considered that the funds in the BlackRock fund complex
share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall
size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than
it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Boards also considered
BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and
improve the quality of, its operations.

The Boards noted that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund
level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience
substantial growth after the initial public offering and each fund is man-
aged independently, consistent with its own investment objectives. The
Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has
breakpoints in its fee structure. Information provided by Lipper also
revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level
breakpoint structure.

E. Other Factors: The Boards also took into account other ancillary or “fall-
out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders
may derive from their relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intan-
gible, 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 affili-
ates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Funds, includ-
ing for administrative and distribution services. The Boards also noted that
BlackRock may use third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated
by certain mutual fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a
number of its other client accounts.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 51


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

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

Conclusion

Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, unanimously
approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between its respec-
tive Fund and the Manager for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010 and
the Sub-Advisory Agreement between such Fund, the Manager and such
Fund’s Sub-Advisor for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. Based
upon its evaluation of all these factors in their totality, each Board, includ-
ing its Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the

Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of its respec-
tive Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the
Agreements, each Board did not identify any single factor or group of fac-
tors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and
different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the vari-
ous factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted
by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination.
The contractual fee arrangements for each Fund reflects the results of sev-
eral years of review by such Fund’s 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.

General Information

Electronic Delivery

Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Trusts’ web-
sites or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly state-
ments, annual and semi-annual reports by enrolling in the Trusts’ electronic
delivery program.

Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks
or Brokerages:

Please contact your financial advisor to enroll. Please note that not all
investment advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.

Householding

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including
annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders
with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly
called “householding” and it 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 other-
wise. 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) 441-7762.

Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quar-
ters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Trusts’ Forms N-Q are available
on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may also be reviewed and
copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information
on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling
