Note 1. Organization
& Accounting Policies
The BlackRock Insured Municipal 2008 Term Trust Inc. (Insured Municipal 2008), The BlackRock Insured Municipal Term Trust Inc. (Insured Municipal), The BlackRock Municipal Target Term Trust Inc. (Municipal Target), The BlackRock California Insured Municipal 2008 Term Trust Inc. (California Insured 2008) and The BlackRock New York Insured Municipal 2008 Term Trust Inc. (New York Insured 2008) were organized as Maryland corporations. BlackRock Municipal 2018 Term Trust (Municipal 2018), BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust (Municipal 2020), The BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust (Municipal Strategic), BlackRock California Municipal 2018 Term Trust (California 2018), BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust (Florida 2020), BlackRock New York Municipal 2018 Term Trust (New York 2018), The BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust (Pennsylvania Strategic) and BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust (Long-Term Municipal) were organized as Delaware statutory trusts. The BlackRock Florida Insured Municipal 2008 Term Trust (Florida Insured 2008) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Insured Municipal 2008, Insured Municipal, Municipal 2018, Municipal 2020, Municipal Target and Municipal Strategic are registered as diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). California Insured 2008, California 2018, Florida Insured 2008, Florida 2020, New York Insured 2008, New York 2018, Pennsylvania Strategic and Long-Term Municipal are registered as non-diversified closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. Insured Municipal 2008, California Insured 2008, Florida Insured 2008 and New York Insured 2008 are herein referred to as the 2008 Trusts. Municipal 2018, California 2018 and New York 2018 are herein referred to as the 2018 Trusts. Municipal 2020 and Florida 2020 are herein referred to as the 2020 Trusts. Municipal Strategic and Pennsylvania Strategic are herein referred to as the Strategic Trusts.
Long-Term Municipal was organized on November 7, 2005 and had no transactions until January 4, 2006 when the Trust sold 9,704 common shares for $139,010 to BlackRock Funding, Inc. Investment operations for Long-Term Municipal commenced on February 28, 2006. Long-Term Municipal incurred organization costs which were deferred from the organization date until the commencement of operations.
Under the Trusts organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trusts. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trusts enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements are unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trusts. However, based on experience, the Trusts consider the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.
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 Trusts 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 per share. 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 Trusts 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 arms-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 days 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 Trusts 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.
Forward Starting Swaps: Forward starting swaps are an agreement for an interest rate swap asset or liability to be created or sold in the future. Interest rate swaps are an agreement in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. The Trusts close each forward starting swap before the accrual date specified in the agreement and therefore never enter into the interest rate swap underlying each forward starting swap.
86
During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking-to-market to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Trust will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trusts basis in the contract, if any.
The Trusts are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the swap. However, the Advisor of the Trusts monitor swaps and do not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.
Residual Interest Tax Exempt Securities: Long-Term Municipal Trust invests in highly leveraged residual interest tax exempt securities (RITES) that are issued from municipal tender option bond trusts. RITES represent residual interests in a special purpose trust formed by a third party sponsor for the purpose of holding municipal bonds purchased from Long-Term Municipal Trust or from other third parties. The special purpose trust typically sells two classes of interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and residual interests, which Long-Term Municipal Trust would purchase. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the municipal bonds. Long-Term Municipal Trust is paid the residual cash flow from the special purpose trust. If Long-Term Municipal Trust is the initial seller of the municipal bonds to the special purpose trust, it receives the proceeds from the sale of the floating rate interests in the special purpose trust, less certain transaction costs. These proceeds generally would be used by Long-Term Municipal Trust to purchase additional municipal bonds or other investments permitted by Long-Term Municipal Trusts investment policies. If Long-Term Municipal Trust ever purchases all or a portion of the short-term floating rate securities sold by the special purpose trust, it may surrender those short-term floating rate securities together with a proportionate amount of residual interests to the trustee of the special purpose trust in exchange for a proportionate amount of the municipal bonds owned by the special purpose trust. In addition, all voting rights and decisions to be made with respect to any other rights relating to the municipal bonds held in the special purpose trust are passed through to Long-Term Municipal Trust, as the holder of the residual interests. Long-Term Municipal Trust will recognize taxable capital gains (or losses) upon any sale of municipal bonds to the special purpose trust.
RITES generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Should short-term interest rates rise, Long-Term Municipal Trusts investment in RITES likely will adversely affect the Trusts net asset value per share and income and distributions to shareholders. RITES generally are considered highly leveraged if the principal amount of the short-term floating rate interests issued by the related tender option bond trust exceed 50% of the principal amount of the municipal bonds owned by the tender option bond trust. The Long-Term Municipal Trust may invest in highly leveraged RITES and consequently may lose money in excess of the amount of its investment, up to an amount equal to the value of the municipal bonds underlying the RITES. The Long-Term Municipal Trust may invest in residual interests for the purpose of using economic leverage as a more flexible alternative to the issuance of preferred shares. With respect to highly leveraged RITES, the Long-Term Municipal Trust establishes and maintains a segregated account to cover any potential obligation to the liquidity provider, the Trusts obligation to the liquidity provider pursuant to the agreement will not be considered a borrowing by the Trust; however, under circumstances in which the Long-Term Municipal Trust does not establish and maintain such a segregated account, such obligation will be considered a borrowing for the purpose of the Trusts limitation on borrowings.
Segregation: In cases in which 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 Trusts 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. Therefore, no Federal income tax or excise tax provisions have been recorded.
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 car-ryforwards 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 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 and such differences may be material.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trusts 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. These amounts are shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Investments in Affiliates. 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.
Other: Expenses that are directly related to one of the Trusts are charged directly to that Trust. Other operating expenses are generally prorated to the Trusts on the basis of relative net assets of all the BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

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. (BFM), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to the 2018 Trusts, 2020 Trusts, Strategic Trusts and Long-Term Municipal. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC
Financial Services Group, Inc. The Investment Management Agreements for the 2018 Trusts, 2020 Trusts, Strategic Trusts and Long-Term Municipal cover both investment advisory and administration services. Each 2008 Trust, Insured Municipal Trust and
Municipal Target Trust has an Administration Agreement with the Advisor.
Each Trusts investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.35% for the 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal Trust and Municipal Target Trust, 0.40% for the 2018 Trusts, 0.50% for the 2020 Trusts and 0.60% for the Strategic Trusts, of the Trusts 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 Strategic Trusts as a percentage of managed assets as follows: 0.25% for the first five years of each of the Trusts operations, 0.20% in year six, 0.15% in year seven, 0.10% in year eight and 0.05% in year nine.
Long-Term Municipals investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate equal to 1.00% of the average weekly value of the Long-Term Municipals Net Assets. Net Assets means the total assets of the Trust minus the sum of accrued liabilities. The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory or other expenses of Long-Term Municipal in the amount of 0.40% of the average weekly value of the Long-Term Municipals Net Assets for the first five years of the Trusts operations and for declining amounts for the following three years, 0.30% in year six, 0.20% in year seven and 0.10% in year eight.
The Advisor pays BFM fees for its sub-advisory services.
The administration fee paid to the Advisor by the 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal Trust and Municipal Target Trust is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.10% for each 2008 Trust and Insured Municipal Trust and 0.07% for Municipal Target Trust, 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 costs of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support and compliance services to each Trust. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Trusts reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations:

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Trusts tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be booked as a tax expense in the current year and recognized as: a liability for unrecognized tax benefits; a reduction of an income tax refund receivable; a reduction of deferred tax asset; an increase in deferred tax liability; or a combination thereof. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

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 or 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 Trusts Declaration of Trust/Articles Supplementary, 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 Directors/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 Trusts 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.
On February 7, 2005, Municipal Target Trusts Board approved the redemption of all of the 3,000 W28 preferred shares outstanding in preparation for its termination on or about December 31, 2006. The shares were redeemed at a price of $25,000 per share (an aggregate price of $75,000,000) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date on March 10, 2005. On October 6, 2005, the Board approved the redemption of all of the 3,000 F7 preferred shares outstanding in preparation for its termination on or about December 31, 2006. The shares were redeemed at a price of $25,000 per share (an aggregate price of $75,000,000) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date on November 7, 2005. Management believes that the redemption of the W28 and F7 preferred shares will not affect the Municipal Target Trusts ability to satisfy the terms of the remaining preferred shares outstanding.
On January 3, 2006, Municipal Target Trusts Board approved the redemption of all of the 5,964 W7 preferred shares outstanding in preparation for its termination on or about December 31, 2006. The shares were redeemed at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date on February 2, 2006 (an aggregate price of $149,180,037). Management believes that the redemption of the W7 preferred shares will not affect the Municipal Target Trusts ability to satisfy the terms of the remaining preferred shares outstanding.
On June 6, 2006, New York Insured 2008 Trusts Board approved the redemption of all of the 1,710 F28 preferred shares outstanding in preparation for its termination on or about December 31, 2008.

The shares were redeemed at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date on July 26, 2006 (an aggregate price of $51,500,000). Management believes that the redemption of the R28 and T28 preferred shares will not affect the Municipal Insured 2008 Trusts ability to satisfy the terms of the remaining preferred shares outstanding.
On June 6, 2006, Florida Insured 2008 Trusts Board approved the redemption of 1,200 R7 preferred shares outstanding in preparation for its termination on or about December 31, 2008.

Note 7. 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.
92
Under the 1940 Act, the continuation of each Trusts investment management and sub-advisory agreements is required to be approved annually by the Boards, including the Board members who are not interested persons of the Trusts or the Advisors as defined in the 1940 Act (the independent Trustees) Independent Directors. At a meeting held on May 23, 2006, the Boards of each Trust, including the Independent Directors, met to consider the annual continuation of each Trusts agreements (the Current Agreements). The Boards first considered the annual continuation of each Current Agreement with out considering the impending Transaction (as defined below) between BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock) and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (Merrill Lynch) because the Current Agreements needed to be re-approved whether or not the Transaction closes. Accordingly, it was appropriate to review each Current Agreements with out considering the impending Transaction, and then to separately consider the impact of the transaction on the Current Agreements. BTA commenced investment operations in 2006. Accordingly, its investment advisory agreements were not subject to renewal at the portion of the meeting devoted to approving the Current Agreements. References to the Trusts in the section below captioned Matters Considered by the by the Boards - The Current Agreements should be understood to exclude BTA.
At the meeting on May 23, 2006, the Board of each Trust, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuance of each current investment management agreement and, if applicable, current sub-advisory agreement for each Trust and then approved a new management agreement and a new sub-advisory agreement for each Trust.
Information Received by the Boards
To assist each Board in its evaluation of the Current Agreements, the independent directors received information from BlackRock on or about April 22, 2006 which detailed, among other things: the organization, business lines and capabilities of the Advisors, 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, Inc. and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (collectively the Advisors) 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 Trusts expense ratios (both before and after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its Peers; and each Trusts performance for the past one-, three-, five-and ten-year periods, when applicable, as well as each Trusts performance compared to its Peers. This information supplemented the information received by each Board throughout the year regarding each Trusts performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and compliance.
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Directors provided a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Boards under 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 advisors 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.
The Independent Directors reviewed this information and discussed it with independent counsel in executive session prior to the Board meeting. At the Board meeting on May 23, 2006, BlackRock made a presentation to and responded to additional questions from the Boards. After the presentations and after additional discussion the Boards considered each Current Agreement and, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and SEC statements relating to the renewal of the Current Agreements.
Matters Considered by the Boards
The Current Agreements
In connection with their deliberations with respect to the Current Agreements, 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 the Advisors; the investment performance of each Trust; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisors and their affiliates from their relationship with the Trusts; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the BlackRock closed-end fund 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 the Advisors services, the Boards reviewed information concerning the types of services that the Advisors provide and are expected to provide to each Trust, narrative and statistical information concerning each Trusts performance record and how such performance compares to each Trusts Peers, information describing BlackRocks organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Boards noted the willingness of the personnel of BlackRock to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards further considered the quality of the Advisors 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. The Boards also noted that the formation of Portfolio Review Committees and a Compliance Committee had helped the Boards to continue to improve their understanding of BlackRocks organization, operations and personnel.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Directors considered the quality of the administrative or non-investment advisory services provided to the Trusts. In this regard, the Advisors provide 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 respec-
93
tive Trust. In addition to investment management services, the Advisors and their affiliates provide each Trust with services such as: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements and Trust websites; 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). The Boards considered the Advisors policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Investment Performance of the Trusts. As previously noted, the Boards received performance information regarding each Trust and its Peers. Among other things, the Boards received materials reflecting each Trusts historic performance and each Trusts performance compared to its Peers. More specifically, each Trusts 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 reviewed a narrative analysis of the third-party Peer rankings that was prepared 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 Trusts investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Trusts performance with that of its Peers. The Boards determined that 11 Trusts (BRM, BMT, BPK, BKK, BMN, BFC, BJZ, BRF, BFO, BLN and BLH) with finite terms were not comparable to the Peers assigned to them by Lipper because, in accordance with their investment objectives, they manage their duration to reflect their finite lives. Because the portfolios of these 11 Trusts have a shorter duration than those of their Peers, they generally will have lower returns than their Peers, all other things being equal, in order to seek to return to investors their initial investment at the end of the life of these Trusts. The Boards also noted that each of these 11 Trusts performed at least as well as their benchmark in at least two periods in each of the past one-, three- and five-year periods or in all applicable periods if not all periods were applicable.
Of the three other Trusts, the Boards noted that BSD had performed better than or equal to the median of its Peers and benchmarks in each of the past one-, three- and five-year periods. The Boards also noted that BPS had performed worse than the median of its Peers in at least one of these periods or worse than its applicable benchmark in more than one of these periods. The Boards considered the following reasons why BPS may have underperformed its Peers or their benchmarks, but also noted that it is often difficult to determine why a Trust underperformed a Peer because it is difficult to obtain perfect information with respect to the Peers.
The Board of BPS noted that the Trust had under-performed its respective Peers or its benchmark for one or more periods. The Board considered that, with respect to a Trust investing primarily in municipal securities, the Advisor generally limits lengthening the duration of such Trust in response to changing interest rate environments because the shorter duration bonds owned by the Trust generally have yields higher than the coupons on longer duration bonds available in the market today. Accordingly, by retaining the short duration bonds currently in the portfolio of BPS, the Advisor believes it is better able to maintain the current dividend levels of BPS, albeit at the expense of a lower total return than they may have otherwise had with a longer duration portfolio. In addition, in a rising interest rate environment where the yield-curve is normal, the Advisor believes that BPS portfolio will have less interest rate risk than a portfolio of longer duration bonds.
After considering this information, the Boards concluded that the performance of each Trust, in light of and after considering the other facts and circumstances applicable to each Trust, supports a conclusion that each Trusts Current 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 Trusts current management fee structure and the Trusts 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 Trusts gross management fees before and after any fee waivers and total expense ratios 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 noted that, of the 13 Trusts with investment advisory agreements subject to re-approval at the meeting, nine Trusts pay fees lower than or equal to the median fees paid by their Peers in each of (i) contractual management fees payable by a Trust prior to any fee waivers (contractual management fees), (ii) actual management fees paid by a Trust after taking into consideration fee waivers (actual management fees) and (c) total expenses. Of the remaining four Trusts: BLH and BFO had contractual management fees and total expenses better than or equal to the median of their Peers, but had actual management fees worse than the median; and BFC and BRM had contractual management fees better than or equal to the median of their Peers, but had actual management fees and total expenses worse then the median. The Board noted the following reasons why these four Trusts actual management fees or total expenses higher than the median of their Peers:
De minimis. The Boards of BLH, BFO, and BRM, noted that these Trusts pay actual management fees and/or incur total expenses that are no more than 4 bps (no more than 6%) higher than the median of their respective Peers. Nevertheless, all three of these Trusts have contractual management fees that are lower than or equal to the median of their peers. In addition, BLH and BFO incur total expenses that are lower than or equal to the median.
Other Factors. The Board noted that BFC has contractual management fees which are better or equal to the median of its peers. The Board of BFC noted that the Trust pays actual management fees and incurs total expenses that are worse than the median of its Peers, which may be attributable to the other funds temporarily waiving fees.
The Boards also compared the management fees charged to the Trusts and other investment companies by the Advisors to the management fees the Advisors charge other types of clients (such as open-end investment companies and separately managed institutional accounts). With
94
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 the Advisors provide 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 the Advisors in managing and operating the Trusts. For instance, the Advisors and their 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 SEC regulations and other legislations. These services are generally not required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts.
In connection with the Boards consideration of this information, the Boards reviewed the considerable investment management experience of the Advisors and considered the high level of investment management, administrative and other services provided by the Advisors. In light of these factors and the other facts and circumstances applicable to each Trust, the Boards concluded that the fees paid and expenses incurred by each Trust under its Current Agreements supports a conclusion that each Trusts Current Agreements should be renewed.
Profitability. The Directors also considered BlackRocks profitability in conjunction with their review of fees. The Directors reviewed BlackRocks revenues, expenses and profitability margins on a before and after-tax basis. In reviewing profitability, the Directors recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of allocating expenses. The Directors also reviewed BlackRocks assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses, noting 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 BlackRocks 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. The comparison indicated that BlackRocks pre-tax profitability was in the second quartile of the fifteen companies compared (including BlackRock), with the most profitable quartile being ranked first and the least profitable quartile being ranked fourth.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the Advisors compensation, the Boards also considered any other revenues paid to the Advisors, including partial reimbursements paid to the Advisors for certain non-investment advisory services. The Boards noted that these payments were less than the Advisors costs for providing these services. The Boards also considered indirect benefits that the Advisors and their affiliates are expected to receive that are attributable to their management of the Trusts.
In reviewing each Trusts 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 own investment objectives. The information also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure for advisory fees, and that this complex generally is homogeneous with regard to the types of funds managed and is about three times as large as the Trusts complex.
The Boards concluded that BlackRocks profitability, in light of all the other facts and circumstances applicable to each Trust, supports a conclusion that each Trusts Current Agreements should be renewed.
Other Benefits. In evaluating fees, the Boards also considered indirect benefits or profits the Advisors or their affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the Trusts. The Directors, including the Independent Directors, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Advisors and their affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Trusts, including potential benefits accruing to the Advisors and their affiliates as a result of participating in offerings of the Trusts shares, potentially stronger relationships with members of the broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of the Advisors and their affiliates, enhanced sales of other investment funds and products sponsored by the Advisors and their affiliates and increased assets under management which may increase the benefits realized by the Advisors 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 Current 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 the Advisors 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 the Advisors, without regard to whether the Advisors ultimately pay any portion of the anticipated compensation to the underwriters.
Conclusion with respect to the Current Agreements. In reviewing the Current Agreements without considering the impending Transaction, the Directors did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously 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 Directors conclusion that the terms of each Current Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Trusts fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to the respective Trust, and that each Current Agreement should be approved.

The Transaction
On February 15, 2006, BlackRock and Merrill Lynch announced that they had entered into an agreement pursuant to which Merrill Lynch would contribute its investment management business, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (MLIM), to BlackRock, one of the largest publicly traded investment management firms in the United States, to form a new asset management company that will be one of the worlds preeminent, diversified global money management organizations with approximately $1 trillion in assets under management (the Transaction). Based in New York, BlackRock currently manages assets for institutional and individual investors worldwide through a variety of equity, fixed income, cash management and alternative investment products. The new company will operate under the BlackRock name and be governed by a board of directors with a majority of independent members. The new company will offer a full range of equity, fixed income, cash management and alternative investment products with strong representation in both retail and institutional channels, in the U.S. and in non-U.S. markets. It will have over 4,500 employees in 18 countries and a major presence in most key markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Europe. Merrill Lynch will own no more than 49.8% of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of the new company and it will own no more than 45% of the new companys common stock, and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC), which currently holds a majority interest in BlackRock, will retain approximately 34% of the new companys common stock. Each of Merrill Lynch and PNC has agreed that it will vote all of its shares on all matters in accordance with the recommendation of BlackRocks board. Completion of the Transaction is subject to various regulatory approvals, client consents, approval by BlackRock shareholders and customary conditions. The Transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of Merrill Lynch, BlackRock and PNC and is expected to close at the end of the third quarter of 2006.
Although BlackRock has informed the Boards that it does not believe the Transaction will be an assignment of the Current Agreements under the 1940 Act, it is possible that the Transaction could be determined to be such an assignment, which would result in the automatic termination of each Current Agreement. Due to this uncertainty, each Trust submitted its post-Transaction management agreements and sub-advisory agreements (collectively the New Agreements) to shareholders to prevent any potential disruption in the Advisors ability to continue to provide services to the Trusts after completion of the Transaction. The New Agreements will be effective upon the completion of the Transaction or, if the Transaction is not completed, at such time as the Boards determine.
Consequences of the Transaction. On February 23, 2006, April 21, 2006 and May 23, 2006, members of BlackRock management made presentations on the Transaction to the Boards and the Boards discussed with management and amongst themselves managements general plans and intentions regarding the Trusts, including the preservation, strengthening and growth of BlackRocks business and its combination with MLIMs business. The Boards also inquired about the plans for and anticipated roles and responsibilities of certain BlackRock employees and officers after the Transaction. The Independent Directors also met in executive session to discuss the Transaction. After these meetings, BlackRock continued to update the Boards with respect to its plans to integrate the operations of BlackRock and MLIM and the potential impact of those plans on the Trusts as those plans were further developed.
After considering and approving the Current Agreements, the Boards (including the Independent Directors) then considered the information received at these meetings and the consequences of the Transaction to each Trust, including, among other things:
(i) that BlackRock, MLIM and their investment advisory subsidiaries are experienced and respected asset management firms, and that BlackRock advised the Boards that in connection with the closing of the Transaction, it intends to take steps to combine the investment management operations of BlackRock and MLIM, which, among other things, may involve sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources. Furthermore, it is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for each of the Trusts, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders; | |
(ii) that BlackRock advised the Boards that following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Trusts and their shareholders by the Advisors, including compliance services; | |
(iii) that BlackRock advised the Boards that it has no present intention to alter the expense waivers and reimbursements currently in effect for certain of the Trusts; | |
(iv) the experience, expertise, resources and performance of MLIM that will be contributed to BlackRock after the closing of the Transaction and their anticipated impact on BlackRocks ability to manage the Trusts; | |
(v) that BlackRock and MLIM would derive benefits from the Transaction and that as a result, they have a financial interest in the matters that were being considered; | |
(vi) the potential effects of regulatory restrictions on the Trusts as a result of Merrill Lynchs equity stake in BlackRock after the Transaction; | |
(vii) the fact that each Trusts aggregate investment advisory and sub-advisory fees will not increase by virtue of the New Agreements; | |
(viii) the terms of the New Agreements, including the differences from the Current Agreements; | |
(ix) that the Trusts would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Agreements; and | |
(x) that BlackRock and Merrill Lynch have agreed to conduct their respective businesses (and use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective affiliates to conduct their respective businesses) to enable the conditions of Section 15(f) to be true in relation to any registered investment companies advised by MLIM and registered under the 1940 Act and have agreed to the same conduct in relation to the BlackRock registered investment companies to the extent it is determined the Transaction is an assignment under the 1940 Act. |
Nature and Quality of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. The Boards considered the expected impact of the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of the Advisors, the potential implications of regulatory restrictions on the Trusts following the
96
Transaction and the ability of the Advisors to perform their duties after the Transaction. The Boards considered that the services to be provided and the standard of care under the New Agreements are the same as under the Current Agreements. The Boards also considered statements by management of BlackRock that, in connection with integrating the operations of the Advisors and MLIM, the objective was to preserve the best of both organizations in order to enhance BlackRocks ability to provide investment advisory services following completion of the Transaction.
The Boards noted that it is impossible to predict with certainty the impact of the Transaction on the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Advisors to the Trusts, but concluded based on the information currently available and in light of all of the current facts and circumstances that the Transaction is likely to provide the Advisors with additional resources with which to serve the Trusts and was not expected to adversely affect the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to the Trusts and their shareholders by the Advisors and was not expected to materially adversely affect the ability of the Advisors to provide those services.
BlackRock currently intends that the portfolio managers for the Trusts will remain the same following completion of the Transaction, except that BlackRock intends to propose to the Boards that, following completion of the Transaction, a team primarily comprised of MLIM professionals will manage the portfolios of those Trusts that invest primarily in municipal securities. BlackRock informed the Boards of this proposal at the May 23rd meetings of the Boards and discussed with the Boards the reasons for this proposed change. BlackRock also informed the Boards that it intends to provide additional information to the Boards with respect to this proposed change at the August meetings of the Boards for the Boards consideration at that time. If the Boards approve this proposed change, the following team members generally would oversee investment policies for those Trusts that invest primarily in municipal securities. This team is one of the largest managers of municipal debt with approximately $67.5 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2006, including 31 closed-end investment companies with $16.2 billion in asssets, $8 billion in retail separate accounts and nine open-end mutual funds with $4.1 billion in assets.
Robert A. DiMella. Mr. DiMella has been a Managing Director of MLIM since 2004 and was a Director from 2002 to 2004. He has been a portfolio manager with MLIM since 1993. |
||
William R. Bock. Mr. Bock has been a Director of MLIM since 2005, and was a Vice President from 1989 to 2005. Mr. Bock has been a portfolio manager with MLIM since 1989. |
||
Timothy T. Browse. Mr. Browse has been a Vice President (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of and portfolio manager with MLIM since 2004. He was also Vice President, Portfolio Manager and team leader of the Municipal Investments Team with Lord Abbett & Co. from 2000 to 2003. |
||
Theodore R. Jaeckel, Jr., CFA. Mr. Jaeckel has been a Director (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of MLIM since 1997. Mr. Jaeckel has been a portfolio manager with MLIM since 1991. |
||
Walter OConnor. Mr. OConnor has been a Managing Director of MLIM since 2003, was a Director of MLIM from 1998 to 2003 and was a Vice President of MLIM from 1992 to 1998. He has been a portfolio manager with MLIM since 1991. |
||
Robert D. Sneeden. Mr. Sneeden has been a Vice President of MLIM since 1998 and was an Assistant Vice President from 1994 to 1998. Mr. Sneeden has been a portfolio manager with MLIM since 1994. |
If the respective Boards do not approve the proposed change, they intend to consider what other course of action would be best for the Trusts that primarily invest in municipal securities and their shareholders.
Investment Performance of the Trusts. The Boards examined MLIMs investment performance with respect to its closed-end funds. The Boards noted the Advisors and MLIMs considerable investment management experience and capabilities. The Boards considered this information together with the level of services expected to be provided to the Trusts. Although the Boards noted that it is impossible to predict the effect, if any, that consummation of the Transaction would have on the future performance of the Trusts, the Boards concluded that the information currently available, in light of all of the current facts and circumstances, supported approving the New Agreements.
Fees. The Boards noted that the fees payable by the Trusts under the New Agreements are identical to the fees payable under the Current Agreements. The Boards also considered the fees paid by the MLIM closed-end funds. In light of (i) the Boards approval of the fees paid by each Trust pursuant to the Current Agreements earlier at the May 23rd meeting, (ii) the fact that the Transaction would cause no change to the fees paid by any Trust and (iii) the Boards earlier conclusion with respect to the services expected to be provided to the Trusts under the New Agreements, the Boards concluded that the fee structure under the New Agreements was reasonable.
Profitability. Management of the Advisors stated to the Boards that, following the Transaction, the current intention is to continue to determine profitability and report profitability to the Boards in the same way as they did prior to the Transaction, subject to managements desire to preserve the best practices of MLIM. Management of the Advisors stated that any changes in the methods used to determine profitability and report profitability to the Boards would be discussed with the Boards. The Boards considered the potential for increased economies of scale as a result of the Transaction and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Trusts fee structures. The Boards also considered that the process of integrating the operations of the Advisors and MLIM was in the early stages and that considerable expense would be incurred in connection with integrating such operations, all of which made it difficult to conclude that economies of scale would be realized as a result of the Transaction. In light of the foregoing, the Boards concluded that, at this time, no changes were necessary to the fee structure of the Trusts as a result of the Transaction.
Other Benefits. In evaluating ancillary benefits to be received by the Advisors and their affiliates under the New Agreements, the Boards considered whether the Transaction would have an impact on the ancillary benefits received by the Advisors by virtue of the Current Agreements. Based on its review of the materials provided, including materials received in connection with its approval of the continuance of each Current Agreement earlier at the May 23rd meetings of the Boards and its discussions with the Advisors, the Boards noted that such benefits were difficult to quantify with certainty at this time and indicated that it would continue to evaluate them going forward.
Conclusion with respect to the New Agreements. The Boards did not identify any single consequence of the Transaction discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Boards, including a majority of the Independent Directors, unanimously approved each New Agreement and unanimously recommend its approval by shareholders of each respective Trust in order to assure continuity of investment advisory services to the Trusts after the Transaction.
97
Pursuant to each Trusts Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan), common shareholders of the 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal and Municipal Target may elect, while the common shareholders of the 2018 Trusts, 2020 Trusts and Strategic Trusts are automatically enrolled, to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the Plan Agent) in the respective Trusts shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who do not 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, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan.
After a 2008 Trust, Insured Municipal, 2018 Trust, 2020 Trust and/or Municipal Target declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants account, by the purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trusts primary exchange or elsewhere (open market purchases). These Trusts will not issue any new shares under the Plan.
After a Strategic Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants account, 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 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 participants 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.
Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.
The Plan Agents 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 Agents 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 by calling (800) 699-1BFM.
60 Day Notice
We are required by the Internal Revenue Code to advise you within 60 days of a Trusts tax year-end as to the Federal tax status of dividends paid by the Trusts during such tax year. Accordingly, during the tax year-end June 30, 2006, all dividends paid by Municipal 2020 Term Trust, Strategic Municipal Trust, Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust and Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust were federally tax-exempt interest dividends.
