THE FIXED INCOME MARKETS The fixed income markets have generally performed well over the past year, as the LEHMAN BROTHERS U.S. AGGREGATE INDEX (a broad measure of the bond market) returned 8.11% for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2002 with 6.82% of the total return coming during 2002. Uncertainty and volatility remain the primary themes in the U.S. markets, as the underlying economic data does not point convincingly towards either a sustainable recovery or a "double-dip" contraction. Concerns over corporate governance and accounting scandals as well as a declining U.S. dollar continue to weigh on consumer confidence and the equity markets. Consumer confidence, which remained strong from February through May of 2002, has fallen off and finished the period ended August 31, 2002 on a noticeable downtrend. GDP growth experienced positive results over the first quarter, growing at 5.0%, but rose less-than-expected during the second quarter at 1.1%. Upbeat economic data was seen in industrial production, which has advanced for the seventh consecutive month (+0.2%), new home sales, which continue to surprise on the upside (+6.7%) and durable goods orders have rebounded nicely from June's decline (+8.7% in July after a decline of -4.5% in June). While the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") maintains that current monetary policy, "should be sufficient to foster an improving business climate over time," it recognized that risks are, in fact, weighed towards weakness and moved to an easing bias at the August 13, 2002 meeting. However, a benign inflationary environment combined with signs of optimism from recent economic reports could keep the Fed from lowering rates in the near-term. Treasuries continued to rally in August, but lagged most alternative fixed income investments. The rally was led by the 10-year bond, which temporarily traded below a 4% yield for the first time in nearly 40 years. Throughout 2002 the short-end of the yield curve also significantly rallied as investors sought a safe haven for their investments. Presently, expectations for a near term rate movement have diminished, and with 2-year yields only slightly above the Fed Funds August 31, 2002 target rate at 2.13% investors have begun to look further out on the yield curve for enhanced return and more attractive yields. As a result of this increased demand for Treasuries with longer maturities, the yield curve has flattened approximately 25 basis points (0.25%) from 2 to 30-years since the end of July. The municipal market was one of the strongest performing domestic fixed income sectors during the first half of 2002. Fueling the demand for municipals were both retail and institutional customers' desire for high income with lower credit volatility assets. Yields in the municipal market dropped across the curve with the largest moves coming in the short to intermediate maturities. Two-year yields dropped 41 basis points while 5, 10 and 30-year yields dropped by 49, 43, and 9 basis points, respectively, during the period. By the beginning of April the market place had priced in as much as 175 basis points of tightening by the Fed as evidence that a stronger economy was beginning to emerge. As additional corporate credit scandals became known, namely WorldCom and Adelphia, the equity markets and the economy began to stumble. Similar to the Treasury market, by June the municipal yield curve aggressively priced out a significant amount of Fed easing that had been built in during the first quarter. A remarkable aspect of the strong performance in the second quarter by the municipal market was that it occurred during a period of record bond issuance. Through the end of the second quarter, $162 billion of municipal bonds were issued setting a record for issuance during any six-month period. Most expectations are for 2002 to be the largest issuance year ever with between $300 and $320 billion priced (the previous record is $292 billion in 1993). 2 Starting mid-July through August, as the equity markets suffered under increasing concerns about corporate accounting, retail demand for municipal securities accelerated during what is typically a quiet period. This strong demand allowed municipals to perform well versus most domestic fixed income alternatives, but they were unable to match the impressive performance of U.S. Treasuries, which are considered a safe haven by both domestic and international investors in times of uncertainty. Supply in the municipal market continues to be robust as the combination of low interest rates, which allows municipalities to refinance their outstanding higher cost debt much as a homeowner refinances a mortgage, and increased budgetary needs have combined to keep the issuance on pace for a record setting year. From June 30, 2002 through August 30, 2002, yields on 2, 5, 10 and 30-year maturities declined an additional 38, 41, 35, and 25 basis points, respectively. CALIFORNIA California is the nation's most populous state with nearly 34 million residents spread over its 163,707 square miles. This massive population supports the world's 6th largest economy producing a $1.3 trillion annual economic output. The state's vast economy turned sluggish in January 2001, but California's job growth resumed in December 2001. Through July 2002 California has added over 40,000 jobs. However, the unemployment rate is still rising. July 2002's jobless rate was 6.3%, lower than June's peak (6.5%) but significantly higher than July 2001's 5.3%, indicating that even more people are seeking employment. California's General Fund revenues increased 48% between 1997-2001 while spending grew at a slower 41% during the same time frame; this spread enabled the state to accumulate a $7 billion surplus in FY2001. More recently, lower revenue receipts reflect a slower economy and the state ended FY2002 with revenues approximately 1% less than projected in the May budget revision. The state's structural imbalance will grow as revenues decline, and the 2003 budget had to close a gap in excess of $23 billion. This was done with revenue enhancements and expenditure cuts. Finally in September, two months into the new fiscal year, the budget was passed and signed by the Governor. The state's General Fund is under additional stress due to the $6.2 billion loan to the Department of Water Resources in 2001 to pay for power purchases. The state had expected to be reimbursed in FY 2002 through a bond sale that remains stalled. In June 2002 the state sold $7.5 billion of revenue anticipation warrants (RAWs) to meet cash needs. California will have to act more promptly to balance revenues and expenditures in the future. California's large and diverse economy provides sufficient bondholder security, which is confirmed by Moody's and S&P's A1/A+ credit ratings. FLORIDA The state of Florida's historically strong financial position reflects prudent fiscal management combined with a solid and diversifying economy. In fact, Florida's $472.1 billion total economic output (in 2000) makes it the nation's 4th largest state economy; it is estimated that the gross state product, which grew 3.4% in 2001, is significantly above the U.S. economic growth rate. The state's strong fiscal management is reflected in its maintenance of its annual General Fund balances vis a vis revenues (approximately 2.2% in 2002); this financial cushion provides additional security to both the state and its bondholders. During the recent economic expansion, Florida built up its budget stabilization fund to nearly $1 billion. To date, the state government has met the challenges of declining revenues due to the recession and the manifestations of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Specifically, the state's Revenue Estimating Conference lowered its income expectations, and reduced expenditures, in response to the sharp decline in tourism that significantly impacted Florida's revenues. Sales tax receipts are the General Fund's major revenue source (73% in 2001) with tourists generating much of this income. The revenue revisions were accurate and the state expects to end FY2002 with a small surplus. Florida residents' growing needs for Medicaid (2000 and 2001 combined increase was +22%) and education continue to add pressure to the $50.4 billion budget for FY2003. Florida's policy is to maintain a manageable debt burden while continuing to use bonds to meet capital expenses. Florida's population increased at a 1.8% average annual rate between 1990-2000, compared to the 1% rate for the U.S., to over 16.33 million residents. Net migration into the state accounted for 85% of this population growth with approximately one third of the new residents coming from foreign countries. Although economists anticipate slower future growth, Florida's population expansion is expected to exceed that of the nation. The state's economy is anchored by tourism, manufacturing and agriculture. Job creation grew slightly (less than 1%) since September 2001. The 5.3% unemployment rate, (July 2002) is an increase from the same month last year (4.8%) but lower than December's 6.0% peak and significantly below the national average (July 2002 5.9%). Trade and services, the major employment sectors, have remained flat. The September 11th terrorist attacks significantly impacted Florida's heavily tourist dependent economy causing declines in air traffic, the hotel industry, amusement and recreation activities. Manufacturing jobs continue to decline (4.5% year over year) and represent only 6.3% of Florida's employment, which is approximately one half the national level. The construction industry is becoming less important as the state's economy diversifies. 3 MARYLAND Maryland is primarily an urban state with 70% of its 5.3 million residents living in the 11 counties that constitute the "Baltimore--Washington Corridor". The state's highly skilled workforce is heavily concentrated in the service and government employment sectors; information, high technology and defense spending are strong components of the state's economy. A history of relatively low unemployment rates (July 2002 was 4.2% versus 5.9% for the U.S.) has supported personal income growth over the past decade; the state's per capita income has ranked 5th among the states since 1992. This high wealth level supports retail sales tax receipts, which have increased at a 6.34% average annual rate for the past decade. In FY2001 all taxes accounted for 66% of General Fund revenues, which have grown at a 7% average annual rate since 1997. Despite some impact from the recent recession, Maryland's General Fund revenues have increased more rapidly than expenditures (7% versus 6%) over the last four years. Prudent financial management combined with growing revenues resulted in a FY2001 General Fund balance equal to 5.26% of revenues and a rate stabilization fund in excess of $800 million. Reserve funds were used in FY2002 to supplement revenues, which dropped below budgeted levels. The state's Aaa/AAA ratings reflect Maryland's strong, diverse economy, above average income levels, and responsible fiscal management, which provide the highest level of bondholder security. NEW JERSEY New Jersey has a strong and diversified economy, however, employment in New Jersey peaked in June 2001. The past decade's economic expansion fueled the state's dramatic increase in per capita disposable personal income to become the highest in the nation. However, this past September, New Jersey's economy was directly shaken by the terrorist attacks. The ramifications of that event combined with the recession have pressured the labor market and resulted in a 21,000-job retrenchment. Reflecting this, the July 2002 unemployment rate increased to 5.4%, significantly higher than the 4.2% rate a year earlier. Manufacturing employment continued to decline in July, shedding 5.3% of the state's industrial jobs, year over year. Until this year, New Jersey was able to rely on its strong and growing economy to support annual spending increases. This increasing prosperity, between 1993-2000, enabled New Jersey to afford income, business, and corporate tax reductions and still maintain a year-end operating surplus with reserve funds in excess of $1 billion (2001). In contrast, FY2002 saw significant declines in tax receipts and New Jersey chose to use all of its reserve funds to plug a deficit in excess of 12% of General Fund revenues. The state's debt burden remains manageable despite the 71% increase in appropriation bonds over the past five years. New Jersey's debt ratings (Aa2/AA) were downgraded in 2002 reflecting the sluggish economy. NEW YORK Prudent, proactive and responsive fiscal management combined with sufficient reserve funds helped to cushion the impact of the recession and the September 11th terrorist attacks on New York State's fiscal well-being. After September 11th, economic growth in New York ceased and the unemployment rate grew to 6.0% in July, significantly higher than the 4.8% rate a year earlier. Since July 2001, private sector employment has declined 2.3% or 83,700 jobs; many of the losses were concentrated in New York City. While the state benefits from a broad and diverse economic base and substantial wealth and resources, the impact on the state's budget has been significant. New York used its $1.6 billion surplus from FY2001 to meet the budgetary needs in FY2002 thus diminishing the state's fiscal flexibility. Next year management will be challenged to maintain an operating surplus unless the economy rebounds and tax receipts increase. The FY2003 budget was produced in a timely manner, which helped to maintain New York State's AA rating from S&P. The state's fiscal health is directly linked to that of New York City. The recession, the destruction of the World Trade Center and the devastation to lower Manhattan has impacted the city's business structure. New York City lost 83,100 jobs and the unemployment rate grew to 7.9% in July 2002, up from 6.0% the previous year. Private sector jobs began to show the first indications of growth this past spring and the city's employment has increased slowly each month since March. The city's administration ended FY2002 in balance, with a small surplus, and closed a $4 billion budget gap for FY2003. The coming years present New York City with additional challenges; this long-term uncertainty has prompted Moody's to change the outlook on New York City's A2 bond rating to "negative". VIRGINIA Virginia maintains a strong economy with responsible fiscal management and its fiscal position improved significantly over the last decade. The commonwealth's skilled labor pool attracted expanding job opportunities especially in the high tech and government employment sectors. This economic growth produced low unemployment rates and fueled the commonwealth's per capita income, which exceeded that of the U.S. during the 1990's. In fact, Virginia's 2.2% jobless rate, in 2000, was the lowest in the nation and significantly below the national average. The last decade's growing affluence supported Virginia's annual General Fund surpluses and bolstered its financial reserves. 4 By 2001, the national recession and particularly the slowdown in technology began to affect the commonwealth's economy. The unemployment rate rose to 3.5% and thus Virginia's revenue increases were more modest while expenditures continued to grow (9.4%), which resulted in a General Fund deficit (5.7%). Despite increasing fiscal pressures, the commonwealth's General Fund balance (principally the rainy day fund) remained significant, at 7.8% of FY2001 General Fund revenues. The trend continued into FY2002 when weak revenue growth combined with a decrease in individual income tax receipts was primarily responsible for the 3.8% General Fund revenue decline. The commonwealth's prudent fiscal managers cut costs in an effort to balance revenues and expenditures. This year (2002) the actual number of workers in Virginia declined for the first time since 1992 and the commonwealth anticipates that 35,000 jobs will disappear by year-end. The expected employment decline means that personal income growth in 2002 is anticipated to be at the lowest rate in 30 years. The commonwealth is rated Aaa/AAA. Continued strong, conservative financial management will be needed to maintain this rating and to provide the highest level of bondholder security. THE TRUSTS' PORTFOLIOS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Trusts' portfolios are actively managed to spread exposure to various sectors, issuers, revenue sources and security types. BlackRock's investment strategy emphasizes a relative value approach, which allows the Trusts to capitalize upon changing market conditions by rotating municipal sectors, credits and coupons. Additionally, each of the Trusts in this report may employ leverage seeking to enhance their income by borrowing at short-term rates and investing the proceeds in longer maturity issues that have higher yields. The degree to which the Trusts can benefit from their use of leverage may affect their ability to pay high monthly income. The use of leverage increases risk, including the risk of greater volatility. There are no assurances that the Trusts leverage strategy will succeed. The table below states the approximate amount of leverage for each Trust at the period ended August 31, 2002. -------------------------------------------------------- FUND LEVERAGE -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL BOND TRUST 38% -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST II --* -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL BOND TRUST 38% -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST II --* -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK FLORIDA MUNICIPAL BOND TRUST 38% -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK MARYLAND MUNICIPAL BOND TRUST 38% -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL BOND TRUST 38% -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK NEW YORK MUNICIPAL BOND TRUST 38% -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST II --* -------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK VIRGINIA MUNICIPAL BOND TRUST 37% -------------------------------------------------------- * On September 19, 2002, the Trust utilized leverage by the issuance of preferred shares in the amount of approximately 38% of its total capital.

ORGANIZATION & ACCOUNTING POLICIES BlackRock Municipal Bond Trust ("Municipal Bond"), BlackRock California Municipal Bond Trust ("California Bond"), BlackRock Florida Municipal Bond Trust ("Florida Bond"), BlackRock Maryland Municipal Bond Trust ("Maryland Bond"), BlackRock NewJersey Municipal Bond Trust ("New Jersey Bond"), BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Trust ("New York Bond"), BlackRock Virginia Municipal Bond Trust ("Virginia Bond")(collectively the "Bond Trusts"), BlackRock Municipal Income Trust II("Municipal Income II"), BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust II("California Income II") and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust II("New York Income II") (collectively the "Income IITrusts")(collectively the "Trusts") are organized as Delaware business trusts. Municipal Bond and New York Bond were organized on February 15, 2002. California Bond, Florida Bond, Maryland Bond, New Jersey Bond and Virginia Bond were organized on March 14, 2002. They had no transactions until April 25, 2002 when each of the Bond Trusts sold 7,679 common shares for $110,002 to BlackRock Advisors, Inc. Investment operations for the Bond Trusts commenced on April 30, 2002. The Income II Trusts were organized on June 21, 2002. They had no transactions until July 16, 2002 when each of the Income II Trusts sold 8,028 common shares for $115,001 to BlackRock Advisors, Inc. Investment operations for the Income II Trusts commenced on July 30, 2002. Municipal Bond and Municipal Income II are registered as diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. California Bond, California Income II, Florida Bond, Maryland Bond, New Jersey Bond, New York Bond, New York Income II and Virginia Bond are registered as non-diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Trusts to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a state, a specific industry or region. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts. SECURITIES VALUATION: Municipal securities (including commitments to purchase such securities on a "when-issued" basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trust's Board of Trustees. In determining the value of a particular security, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such securities, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities. Short-term investments may be valued at amortized cost. Any securities or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of each Trust's Board of Trustees. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Each Trust also records interest income on an accrual basis and amortizes premium and accretes discount to interest income on securities purchased using the interest method. SEGREGATION: In cases in which the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") 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 SEC, designate on its books and records cash or other liquid debt securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Trust's intention to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient net income to shareholders. For this reason and because substantially all of the gross income of each Trust consists of tax-exempt interest, no Federal income tax provisions are required. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Each Trust declares and pays dividends and distributions to common shareholders monthly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss carryforwards may be distributed annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 4. ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Under the revised deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust's Board of Trustees on September 20, 2002, non-interested Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts earn a return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock Trusts selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such other BlackRock 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. NOTE 2. AGREEMENTS Each Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to each Trust. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The investment management agreement covers both investment advisory and administration services. 37 Each Trust's investment advisory fees paid to the Advisor are computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.65% for the Bond Trusts and 0.55% for the Income II Trusts, of each Trust's average weekly managed assets. "Managed assets" means the total assets of a Trust (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee or other expenses of each Trust. With respect to the Bond Trusts the waiver, as a percentage of managed assets, is as follows: 0.30% for the first 5 years of each Trust's operations, 0.25% in year 6, 0.20% in year 7, 0.15% in year 8, 0.10% in year 9 and 0.05% in year 10. With respect to the Income II Trusts the waiver, as a percentage of managed assets, is as follows: 0.15% for the first 5 years of each Trust's operations, 0.10% in year 6 through year 7, 0.05% in year 8 through year 10. The investment advisory fee and waiver amount for each Trust from the commencement of investment operations (April 30, 2002 for the Bond Trusts and July 30, 2002 for the Income II Trusts) through August 31,2002 were as follows: FUND ADVISORY FEE WAIVER FUND ADVISORY FEE WAIVER -------- ------------ -------- ----------------- ------------ -------- Municipal Bond $444,125 $204,981 Maryland Bond $ 87,170 $40,232 Municipal Income II 152,741 41,657 New Jersey Bond 97,897 45,183 California Bond 146,284 67,516 New York Bond 117,932 54,430 California Income II 52,657 14,361 New York Income II 32,159 8,771 Florida Bond 144,686 66,778 Virginia Bond 65,868 30,401 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, 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 certain operational support services provided to each Trust. NOTE 3.

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 Trust's Declaration of Trust, are not satisfied. 39 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 are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the Investment Company Act of 1940 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 and (b) take any action requiring a vote of security holders, including, among other things, changes in a Trust's sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or changes in its fundamental investment restrictions.

FUND RATE -------- --------- Municipal Income II $0.08375 California Income II $0.08125 New York Income II $0.07875 40 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of: BlackRock Municipal Bond Trust, BlackRock California Municipal Bond Trust, BlackRock Florida Municipal Bond Trust, BlackRock Maryland Municipal Bond Trust, BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Bond Trust, BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Trust, BlackRock Virginia Municipal Bond Trust (collectively the "Bond Trusts"), BlackRock Municipal Income Trust II, BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust II and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust II (collectively the "Income II Trusts") (collectively the "Trusts"). We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolios of investments, as of August 31, 2002 and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from April 30, 2002 (commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 2002 for the Bond Trusts and July 30, 2002 (commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 2002 for the Income II Trusts. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trusts at August 31, 2002 and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP ------------------------- Boston, Massachusetts October 4, 2002 41 DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pursuant to each Trust's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), common shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (the "Plan Agent") in the respective Trust's shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent. The Plan Agent serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. After a Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants' accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust ("newly issued shares") or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trust's primary exchange or elsewhere ("open-market purchases"). If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share ("NAV") is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as "market premium"), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant's account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as "market discount"), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases. Participants in the Plan may withdraw from the Plan upon written notice to the Plan Agent and will receive certificates for whole Trust shares and a cash payment for any fraction of a Trust share. The Plan Agent's fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent's open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions. Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at (800) 699-1BFM or 150 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021. 42 TRUSTEES INFORMATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name, address, age Andrew F.

Advisor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 44 INVESTMENT SUMMARIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO MANAGES THE TRUSTS? BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") manages the Trusts. The Advisor is a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"), which is one of the largest publicly traded investment management firms in the United States with approximately $250 billion of assets under management as of June 30, 2002. BlackRock manages assets on behalf of institutional and individual investors worldwide through a variety of equity, fixed income, liquidity and alternative investment products, including the BLACKROCK FUNDS and BLACKROCK PROVIDENT INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS. In addition, BlackRock provides risk management and investment system services to a growing number of institutional investors under the BLACKROCK SOLUTIONS name. Clients are served from the Company's headquarters in New York City, as well as offices in Boston, Edinburgh, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Tokyo and Wilmington. BlackRock is a member of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC), and is majority-owned by PNC and by BlackRock employees. HOW ARE THE TRUST'S SHARES PURCHASED AND SOLD? DOES THE TRUST PAY DIVIDENDS REGULARLY? The Trusts common shares are traded on either the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, both of which provide investors with liquidity on a daily basis. Orders to buy or sell shares of the Trusts must be placed through a registered broker or financial advisor. The Trusts pay monthly dividends which are typically paid on the first business day of the month. For shares held in the shareholder's name, dividends may be reinvested in additional shares of the respective Trust through its transfer agent, EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. Investors who wish to hold shares in a brokerage account should check with their financial advisor to determine whether their brokerage firm offers dividend reinvestment services. LEVERAGE CONSIDERATIONS IN THE TRUSTS The Trusts employ leverage primarily through the issuance of preferred shares. Leverage permits the Trusts to borrow money at short-term rates and reinvest that money in longer-term assets, which typically offer higher interest rates. The difference between the cost of the borrowed funds and the income earned on the proceeds that are invested in longer-term assets is the benefit to the Trusts from leverage. Leverage increases the duration (or price sensitivity of the net assets with respect to changes in interest rates) of the Trusts, which can improve the performance of the Trusts in a declining interest rate environment, but can cause net assets to decline faster in a rapidly rising interest rate environment. The Advisor's portfolio managers continuously monitor and regularly review each Trust's use of leverage and may reduce, or unwind, the amount of leverage employed should the Advisor consider that reduction to be in the best interests of the shareholders. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RISK FACTORS RELEVANT TO THE TRUSTS THE TRUSTS ARE INTENDED TO BE A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT AND ARE NOT SHORT-TERM TRADING VEHICLES. DIVIDEND CONSIDERATIONS. The income and dividends paid by the Trusts are likely to vary over time as fixed income market conditions change. Future dividends may be higher or lower than the dividends the Trusts are currently paying. LEVERAGE. The Trusts utilize leverage through the issuance of preferred shares, which involves special risks. The Trusts' net asset value and market value may be more volatile due to the use of leverage. MARKET PRICE OF SHARES. The shares of closed-end investment companies such as the Trusts trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and as such are subject to supply and demand influences. As a result, shares may trade at a discount or a premium to their net asset value. MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS. The value of municipal debt securities generally varies inversely with changes in prevailing market interest rates. Depending on the amount of call protection that the securities in a Trust have, a Trust may be subject to certain reinvestment risks in environments of declining interest rates. HIGH YIELD RISK. The Trusts may invest in high yield bonds, which involves additional risks, including credit risk. The value of high yield, lower quality bonds is affected by the creditworthiness of the issuers of the securities and by general economic and specific industry conditions. Issuers of high yield bonds are not as strong financially as those with higher credit ratings. A Trust's investment in lower grade securities will expose the Trust to greater risk than if the Trust owned only higher grade securities. ILLIQUID SECURITIES. The Trusts may invest in securities that are illiquid, although under current market conditions the Trusts expect to do so to only a limited extent. These securities involve special risks. ANTITAKEOVER PROVISIONS. Certain antitakeover provisions will make a change in a Trust's business or management more difficult without the approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees and may have the effect of depriving shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium above the prevailing market price. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX (AMT). The Trusts may invest in securities subject to alternative minimum tax. 45 BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL BOND TRUST INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Trust's investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular Federal income tax. WHAT CAN THE TRUST INVEST IN? Under normal conditions, the Trust manages its assets so that at the time of investment, at least 80% of its investments are rated at least investment grade (BBB by Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's Investor Services) and up to 20% of its assets are rated below investment grade (Ba/BB or B) or that are unrated but deemed to be of comparable quality by the Advisor. The Trust invests primarily all of the assets in a portfolio of municipal obligations, which include debt obligations issued by the United States, its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and by other qualifying issuers that pay interest which, in the opinion of the bond counsel of the issuer, is exempt from Federal income taxes. WHAT IS THE ADVISOR'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY? The Advisor manages the assets of the Trust in accordance with the Trust's investment objective and policies by investing primarily in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular Federal income tax. As such, the Advisor actively manages the assets in relation to market conditions and interest rate changes. Depending on yield and portfolio allocation considerations, the Advisor may choose to invest a portion of the Trust's assets in securities which pay interest that is subject to AMT (Federal alternative minimum tax). The Trust intends to invest primarily in long-term bonds and expects bonds in its portfolio to maintain an average portfolio maturity of 15 years or more, but the average maturity may be shortened or lengthened from time to time depending on market conditions. The Trust employs leverage primarily through the issuance of preferred shares. Preferred shareholders will receive dividends based on short-term rates in exchange for allowing the Trust to borrow additional assets. These assets will be invested in longer-term assets which typically offer higher interest rates. The difference between the cost of the dividends paid to preferred shareholders and the interest earned on the longer-term securities will provide higher income levels for common shareholders in most interest rate environments. See "Leverage Considerations in the Trusts".

WHAT IS THE ADVISOR'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY? The Advisor manages the assets of the Trust in accordance with the Trust's investment objective and policies by investing primarily in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular Federal income tax and Maryland personal income tax. As such, the Advisor actively manages the assets in relation to market conditions and interest rate changes. Depending on yield and portfolio allocation considerations, the Advisor may choose to invest a portion of the Trust's assets in securities which pay interest that is subject to AMT (Federal alternative minimum tax). The Trust intends to invest primarily in long-term bonds and expects bonds in its portfolio to maintain an average portfolio maturity of 15 years or more, but the average maturity may be shortened or lengthened from time to time depending on market conditions. The Trust employs leverage primarily through the issuance of preferred shares. Preferred shareholders will receive dividends based on short-term rates in exchange for allowing the Trust to borrow additional assets. These assets will be invested in longer-term assets which typically offer higher interest rates. The difference between the cost of the dividends paid to preferred shareholders and the interest earned on the longer-term securities will provide higher income levels for common shareholders in most interest rate environments.
