A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

The present time may well be remembered as one of the most tumultuous periods in financial market history. Over the past year, the bursting of the housing bubble and the resultant credit crisis swelled into an all-out global financial market meltdown that featured the collapse of storied financial firms, volatile swings in the world’s financial markets and monumental government responses, including the nearly $800 billion economic stimulus plan signed into law just after period end.

The US economy appeared relatively resilient through the first few months of 2008, when rising food and energy prices fueled inflation fears. Mid-summer ushered in dramatic changes— inflationary pressure subsided amid a plunge in commodity prices, while economic pressures intensified in the midst of a rapid deterioration in consumer spending, employment and other key indicators. By year’s end, the National Bureau of Economic Research affirmed that the United States was in a recession, which officially began in December 2007. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), after slashing interest rates aggressively early in the period, resumed that rate-cutting campaign in the fall, with the final reduction in December 2008 bringing the target federal funds rate to a record low range of between zero and 0.25%. Importantly, the central bank pledged that future policy moves to revive the global economy and financial markets would comprise primarily nontraditional and quantitative easing measures, such as capital injections, lending programs and government guarantees.

Against this backdrop, US equity markets experienced intense volatility, with the sentiment turning decisively negative toward period end. Declines were significant and broad-based, with little divergence among large- and small-cap stocks. Non-US stocks posted stronger results early on, but quickly lost ground as the credit crisis revealed itself to be global in scope and as the worldwide economic slowdown gathered pace. Overall, aggressive monetary and fiscal policy, combined with the defensiveness of the US, helped domestic equities notch better performance than their non-US counterparts.

In fixed income markets, risk aversion remained the popular theme, leading the Treasury sector to top all other asset classes. The high yield market was particularly hard hit in this environment, as economic turmoil, combined with frozen credit markets and substantial technical pressures, took a heavy toll. Meanwhile, the municipal bond market was challenged by a dearth of market participants, lack of liquidity, difficult funding environment and backlog of new-issue supply, which sent prices lower and yields well above Treasuries. By period end, however, some positive momentum had returned to the municipal space.

In all, an investor flight to safety prevailed, as evidenced in the six- and 12-month returns of the major benchmark indexes:

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2009

BlackRock California Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc.


 

 

Investment Objective

 

 

 

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

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Trust returned (16.55)% based on market price and (7.80)% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (18.01)% on a market price basis and (11.97)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The period witnessed a slight tightening in some credit spreads for lower-rated California holdings. Management’s strategic efforts have been aimed at producing a more balanced contribution to the Trust’s total return from its current yield. These efforts have increased the undistributed net interest income balance, as short-term borrowing costs have decreased along with short-term rate cuts by the Fed. The Trust maintained a neutral duration stance throughout the period.

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2009

BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust

 

 

 

 

Investment Objective


 

 

 

BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust (BFZ) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide high current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from regular federal income tax and California income taxes.

 

 

Performance

 

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Trust returned (19.93)% based on market price and (10.61)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (18.01)% on a market price basis and (11.97)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period-end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. A neutral duration stance and a relatively high cash equivalent reserve provided some cushion to the Trust’s NAV. Despite this positioning, the NAV was negatively affected by deteriorating prices on some of its zero-coupon holdings, as well as spread widening on assets with weaker monoline insurance wraps. Management’s strategy is to pursue a balanced approach to returns by improving current yield as opportunities arise, while generally keeping duration exposure no higher than neutral.

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2009

BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust

 

 

Investment Objective


 

 

 

BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust (BFO) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and Florida intangible personal property taxes and to return $15.00 per share (the initial public offering price) on or about December 31, 2020.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Trust returned (5.33)%, based on market price, and (7.71)%, based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Florida Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (5.78)% on a market price basis and (5.87)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s underperformance was driven primarily by a rising yield (and correspondingly falling price) environment for intermediate and long-term municipals during the second half of 2008. An intermediate duration bias mitigated the downward price movement somewhat. The allocation to lower-rated issues also detracted from results as spreads widened during the six months.

BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Income Trust

 

 

Investment Objective


 

 

 

BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Income Trust (RFA) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide high current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from regular federal income tax and to provide an exemption from Florida intangible personal property taxes consistent with preservation of capital.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

Effective September 16, 2008, BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust was renamed BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Income Trust.

 

 

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Trust returned (16.70)% based on market price and (13.55)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (12.07)% on a market price basis and (12.78)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Sector allocation played an important role in determining how the fund performed during the reporting period. Spread products, such as healthcare, housing, tax increment financing and corporate-backed bonds, significantly underperformed as the economic downturn continued to add more stress on the fundamental credit quality for these sectors. The Trust’s exposure to these issues detracted from performance. Also hampering results was exposure to alternative minimum tax bonds, which underperformed as spreads widened out significantly over the past six months.

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2009

BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust

 

 

Investment Objective

 

BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust (BBF) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide high current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from regular federal income tax and Florida intangible personal property tax.

 

Performance

Effective September 16, 2008, BlackRock Florida Municipal Income Trust was renamed BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust.

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Trust returned (11.47)% based on market price and (12.43)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (12.07)% on a market price basis and (12.78)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Sector allocation played an important role in determining how the fund performed during the reporting period. A positive contributor to performance was the Trust’s significant overweight in pre-refunded bonds in the one- to five-year maturity range, as the yield curve steepened and short- and intermediate-maturity issues outperformed. Conversely, spread products, such as healthcare, housing, tax increment and corporate-backed bonds, significantly underperformed as the economic downturn continued to add more stress on the fundamental credit quality for these sectors. The Trust’s exposure to these issues detracted from results.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2009

BlackRock New York Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc.

 

 

 

Investment Objective

 

 

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

 

 

Performance

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Trust returned (11.90)% based on market price and (7.39)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (15.16)% on a market price basis and (12.83)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Fund performance was positively influenced by an average distribution rate and an overweight exposure to pre-refunded and education-related bonds. Negative impacts on performance came from overweights in corporate credits, housing bonds and healthcare bonds, and from underweights in tax-backed and transportation bonds. The Trust’s overweight in bonds with maturities greater than 20 years detracted overall, but benefited performance toward the end of the period. Fortunately, management avoided selling these holdings when values were distressed, which would have locked in their underperformance.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Trust Summary as of January 31, 2009

BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust

 

 

 

Investment Objective

 

 

BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust (BNY) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide high current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from regular federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes.

 

 

Performance

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Trust returned (21.70)% based on market price and (12.49)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (15.16)% on a market price basis and (12.83)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period-end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Fund performance was positively influenced by an average distribution rate and an overweight exposure to pre-refunded and education-related bonds. Negative impacts on performance came from overweights in corporate credits and housing bonds. The Trust’s overweight in bonds with maturities greater than 18 years detracted overall, but benefited performance toward the end of the period. Fortunately, management avoided selling these holdings when values were distressed, which would have locked in their underperformance.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

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

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

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

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

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

Certain Trusts may also, from time to time leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond (“TOB”) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Trusts with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Trusts to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect the Trusts’ NAVs per share.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased returns to the Trusts and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will generally cause greater changes in the Trusts’ NAV, market price and dividend rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Trusts’ net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, the Trusts’ net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to shareholders will be reduced. The Trusts may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or below fair market values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments which may cause the Trusts to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit the Trusts’ ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies that rate preferred shares issued by a Trust. The Trusts will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by the holders of the Common Shares and may reduce returns on the Common Shares.

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

Derivative Instruments

 

The Trusts may invest in various derivative instruments, including swap agreements and futures, and other instruments specified in the Notes to Financial Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the other party to the transaction and illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Trusts’ ability to successfully use a derivative instrument depends on the Advisor’s ability to accurately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Trusts to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Trusts can realize on an investment or may cause the Trusts to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

Effective August 1, 2008, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities

 

 

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

Effective August 1, 2008, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:


 

 

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities

 

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2009 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments:

This definition may not apply for purposes of this report which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

 

Effective August 1, 2008, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

 

Effective August 1, 2008, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

 

Effective August 1, 2008, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock California Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“California Investment Quality”), BlackRock New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“New Jersey Investment Quality”) and BlackRock New York Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“New York Investment Quality”) are organized as Maryland corporations. BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Income Trust (formerly BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust) (“Investment Quality”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust. California Investment Quality, Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality are herein referred to as the Investment Quality Trusts. BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust (“California Income”), BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust (formerly BlackRock Florida Municipal Income Trust) (“Municipal Income Investment”), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust (“New Jersey Income”), BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust (“New York Income”) (collectively the “Income Trusts”) and Black Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust (“Florida 2020”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. The Investment Quality Trusts, Income Trusts and Florida 2020 are referred to herein collectively as the “Trusts”. The Trusts are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Trusts determine and make available for publication the net asset value of their Common Shares on a daily basis.

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

Valuation of Investments: Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Swap agreements are valued by utilizing quotes received daily by the Trusts’ pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and trades of underlying securities. Short-term securities with maturities less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by a method approved by each Trust’s Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’slength transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Derivative Financial Instruments: Each Trust may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Trust and to hedge, or protect, its exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

 

 

Financial futures contracts—Each Trust may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts for investment purposes or to manage its interest rate risk. Futures are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant to the contract, the Trust agrees to receive from, or pay to, the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by the Trust as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets, and the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

 

 

Forward interest rate swaps—The Trusts may enter into forward interest rate swaps for investment purposes. The Trusts may enter into swap agreements, in which the Trust and a counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount. In a forward interest rate swap, a Trust and the counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional contract amount, commencing on a specified future effective date, unless terminated earlier. These periodic payments received or made by the Trusts are recorded in the accompanying Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated, the Trusts 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 generally intend to close each forward interest rate swap before the effective date specified in the agreement and therefore avoid entering into the interest rate swap underlying each interest rate swap. Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Trusts may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such trans-

actions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Trusts may purchase securities under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Trusts may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Trusts assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations.

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

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

Interest income from the underlying security is recorded by the Trusts on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are reported as expenses of the Trusts. The floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At January 31, 2009, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for trust certificates were as follows:

Financial transactions executed through TOBs generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds when interest rates rise, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Should short-term interest rates rise, the Trusts’ investment in TOBs may adversely affect the Trusts’ investment income and distributions to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Trusts’ net asset value per share.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Trusts may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that each Trust segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., swaps or financial futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on their books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, the Trusts may also be required to deliver or deposit securities as collateral for certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts and swaps).

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on the accrual method. Each Trust amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions to Preferred Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 5.

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Each Trust files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statue of limitations on Investment Quality Trusts’ and Income Trusts’ US federal tax returns remain open for the year ended July 31, 2008 and each of the three years ended October 31, 2007. The statutes of limitations on Florida 2020’s US federal tax returns remain open for the year ended July 31, 2008 and each of the three years ended December 31, 2008. The statutes of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities • an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”), was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

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

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

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

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and administration services. As of January 31, 2009, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BAC became a stockholder of BlackRock following its acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on January 1, 2009. Prior to that date, both PNC and Merrill Lynch were considered affiliates of the Trusts under the 1940 Act. Subsequent to the acquisition, PNC remains an affiliate, but due to the restructuring of Merrill Lynch’s ownership interest of BlackRock, BAC is not deemed to be an affiliate under the 1940 Act.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of each Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Trust. For such services, each Trust pays the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.35% for the Investment Quality Trusts, 0.60% for the Income Trusts and 0.50% for Florida 2020 of each Trust’s average daily net assets. Average daily net assets is the average daily value of each Trust’s total assets minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.

The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee on the Income Trusts as a percentage of average daily net assets as follows: 0.10% through July 31, 2009 and 0.05% through July 31, 2010. For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Advisor waived the following amounts, which are included in fees waived by advisor on Statements of Operations:

4. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

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

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

In the normal course of business, the Trusts invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Trusts; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in each Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

5. Capital Share Transactions:

Each Investment Quality Trust is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares, including Preferred Shares, par value $0.01 per share, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value common shares authorized for the Income Trusts and Florida 2020. Each Trust’s Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares of shares without approval of Common Shareholders. At January 31, 2009 the Common Shares owned by affiliates of the Advisor for Florida 2020 was 8,028 shares.

Common Shares

During the six months ended January 31, 2009, the period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2007 the shares issued and outstanding increased by the following amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:

Preferred Shares

The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Trust, as set forth in each Trust’s Statement of Preferences/Articles of 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 (one vote per share) as a single class. However, the holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the

approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Trust’s subclassification 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.

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

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Preferred Shares of each Trust failed to clear any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Share dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate that ranged from 0.594% to 12.565%. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Trusts but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of the Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a trust’s auction rate Preferred Shares than buyers. It is impossible to predict how long this imbalance will last. A successful auction for each Trust’s Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not have the ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference.

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%.

Prior to December 31, 2008, the Trusts paid commissions to certain broker-dealers at the end of each auction at an annual rate of 0.25%, calculated on the aggregate principal amount. In December 2008, commissions paid to broker-dealers on preferred shares that experienced a failed auction were reduced to 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount. The Trusts will pay commissions of 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, earned commissions for the period August 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 as follows:

Board Approvals

On September 12, 2008, the Board of Trustees of BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust and BlackRock Florida Municipal Income Trust voted unanimously to change a non-fundamental investment policy of the Trusts, and to rename the Trusts “BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Income Trust” and “BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust”, respectively. The Trusts’ previous non-fundamental investment policy required BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust to invest at least 80% of its assets, and BlackRock Florida Municipal Income Trust to invest at least 80% of its total assets, in Florida municipal bonds rated investment grade at the time of investment. Due to the repeal of the Florida Intangible Personal Property Tax as of January 2007, the Board has approved an amended policy allowing the Trusts flexibility to invest in municipal obligations regardless of geographic location. The Trusts’ new investment policy, under normal market conditions, is to invest at least 80% of their assets or total assets, as the case may be, in municipal bonds rated investment grade at the time of investment. The approved changes will not alter the Trusts’ investment objectives.

Under current market conditions, the Advisor anticipates that it will gradually reposition the Trusts’ portfolios over time and that during such period the Trusts may continue to hold a substantial portion of its assets in Florida municipal bonds. At this time, it is uncertain how long the repositioning may take, and the Trusts will continue to be subject to risks associated with investing a substantial portion of its assets in Florida municipal bonds until the repositioning is complete.

The Advisor and the Board believe the amended policy will allow the Advisor to better manage the Trusts’ portfolios in the best interests of the Trusts’ shareholders and to better meet the Trusts’ investment objectives.

Effective September 12, 2008, following approval by the Trusts’ Board, the Board ratified the amendment of the terms of the Trusts’ Preferred Shares in order to allow the Trusts to enter into TOB transactions, the proceeds of which were used to redeem a portion of the Trusts’ Preferred Shares. Accordingly, the definition of Inverse Floaters was amended to incorporate the Trusts’ permissible ratio of floating rate instruments into inverse floating rate instruments. Additionally, conforming changes and certain formula modifications concerning inverse floaters were made to the definitions of Moody’s Discount Factor and S&P Discount Factor, as applicable, to integrate the Trusts’ investments in TOBs into applicable calculations.
