Investment Valuation: The Trusts value most of their investments on the basis of current market quotations 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, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Exchange-traded options are valued at their last sales price as of the close of options trading on applicable exchanges. In the absence of a last sale, options are valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices as of the close of business. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options quotations are provided by dealers selected under the supervision of the Board. Considerations utilized by dealers in valuing OTC options include, but are not limited to, volatility factors of the underlying security, price movement of the underlying security in relation to the strike price and the time left until expiration of the option. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Short-term debt investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased and debt investments originally purchased with maturities in excess of 60 days but which currently have maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost. Any investments or other assets for which current market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value (“Fair Value Assets”) as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trusts’ Board. The investment advisor and/or sub-advisor will submit its recommendations regarding the valuation and/or valuation methodologies for Fair Value Assets to a valuation committee. The valuation committee may accept, modify or reject any recommendations. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to the Board.
When determining the price for a Fair Value Asset, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that advisor and sub-advisor deems relevant.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. The cost of investments and the related gain or loss is determined by the use of the specific identification method, generally high cost, for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed. These dividends are recorded as soon as the Trusts are informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income on foreign securities is recorded net of any applicable withholding tax.
Forward Currency Contracts: Certain Trusts may enter into forward currency contracts primarily to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of foreign securities and to help manage the overall exposure to foreign currency. A forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date (usually the security transaction settlement date) at a negotiated forward rate. In the event that a security fails to settle within the normal settlement period, the forward currency contract is renegotiated at a new rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the settlement value of the original and renegotiated forward contracts is isolated and is included in net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract.
Forward currency contracts, when used by the Trusts, help to manage the overall exposure to the foreign currency backing some of the investments held by the Trusts. Forward currency contracts are not meant to be used to eliminate all of the exposure to the foreign currency, rather they allow the Trusts to limit their exposure to foreign currency within a narrow band to the objectives of the Trusts.
Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis:
|
|
|
|
(i) |
market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the London 4:00 PM rates of exchange. Effective November 7, 2005, the 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time rates of exchange will be used. |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. |
The Trusts do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at period end. The Trusts report forward foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
56
Net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses includes realized foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest and discount recorded on the Trusts’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses in the value of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
Option Writing/Purchasing: When the Trusts write or purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Trusts are recorded as liabilities or assets and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Trusts on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or the proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Trusts have realized a gain or a loss on investment transactions. The Trusts, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right (but not the obligation) to sell and obligates the writer to buy (when the option is exercised) the underlying position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period.
The main risk that is associated with purchasing options is that the option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option expires worthless and the premium paid for the option is considered the loss. The risk associated with writing call options is that the Trusts may forgo the opportunity for a profit if the market value of the underlying position increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Trusts may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying position decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, the Trusts risk not being able to enter into a closing transaction for the written option as the result of an illiquid market.
Certain Trusts may invest in over-the-counter (“OTC”) options. OTC options differ from exchange-listed options in that they are two-party contracts, with exercise price, premium and other terms negotiated between buyer and seller, and generally do not have as much market liquidity as exchange-listed options. The counterparties to these transactions typically will be major international banks, broker-dealers and financial institutions. The Trusts may be required to restrict the sale of securities being used to cover certain written OTC options. The OTC options written by the Trust will not be issued, guaranteed or cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation. In addition, the Trusts’ ability to terminate the OTC options may be more limited than with exchange-traded options. Banks, broker-dealers or other financial institutions participating in such transaction may fail to settle a transaction in accordance with the terms of the option as written. In the event of default or insolvency of the coun-terparty, the Trusts may be unable to liquidate an OTC option position.
Federal Income Taxes: It is the Trusts’ intention to elect to be treated as regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient amounts of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provisions are required.
Dividends and Distributions: All Trusts except Enhanced Dividend Achievers declare and pay dividends and distributions to shareholders quarterly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Enhanced Dividend Achievers declares and pays dividends and distributions to 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. If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax-free return of capital. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by the Board, non-interested Trustees are required to defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation pursuant to the plan. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock closed-end trusts selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.
The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trusts. The Trusts may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.
57
Reclassification of Capital Accounts: In order to present undistributed (distribution in excess of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated net realized gain (“Accumulated Gain”) and paid-in capital (“PIC”) more closely to its tax character, the following accounts for the Trusts were increased (decreased):

Note 2. Agreements
The Trusts have an Investment Management Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to certain of the Trusts. State Street Research and Management Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, serves as sub-advisor to Global Energy and Resources. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The investment management agreement covers both investment advisory and administration services.
The Trusts’ investment advisory fees paid to the Advisor are computed weekly, accrued daily and payable monthly, based on an annual rate, 0.65% for Dividend Achievers, 1.00% for Enhanced Dividend Achievers, 1.20% for Global Energy and Resources, 1.00% for Global Opportunites, 1.00% for Health Sciences, 0.75% for S&P Quality Rankings, 0.75% for Strategic Dividend Achievers, and 1.00% for World Investment, of the Trust’s average weekly managed assets. Because the Trusts have no present intention of borrowing for investment purposes, the Trusts’ “managed assets” will generally be equal to the Trusts’ net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees or some other expenses on Global Energy and Resources as a percentage of its average weekly managed assets as follows: 0.20% for the first five years of the Trust’s operations, 0.15% in year six, 0.10% in year seven and 0.05% in year eight.
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreements, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolios and pays the compensation of officers of the Trusts who are affiliated persons of the Advisor, as well as occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of the Trusts. The Trusts bear all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for cost of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support and compliance support to the Trusts. For the period ended October 31, 2005, the Trusts reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trusts as of October 31, 2005, the results of their operations for the period then ended, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), common shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions reinvested by The Bank of New York (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 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 distribution 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 distribution 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 distribution 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 distribution will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the distribution 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 distribution amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.
Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the distribution record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared distribution.
The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of 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 distributions. The automatic reinvestment of distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such distributions.
Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at The Bank of New York, Dividend Reinvestment Department, P.O. Box 1958, Newark, New Jersey 07101-9774; or by calling 1-866-216-0242.

At a meeting held on May 26, 2005, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of each trust in the BlackRock Closed-End Funds complex (each a “Trust”), including the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the continuance of an Investment Management Agreement between each Trust and BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). For each Investment Management Agreement, the Boards also approved a related Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, when applicable, among each respective Trust, the Advisor and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. or State Street Research and Management Company, as may be the case (the “Sub-Advisor”). The Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements sometimes are referred to herein collectively as the “Agreements”. The Advisor and either Sub-Advisor sometimes are referred to herein collectively as “BlackRock”.
Information Received by the Boards
To assist each Board in its evaluation of the Agreements, the Independent Trustees received information from BlackRock on or about April 27, 2005, which detailed, among other things: the organization, business lines and capabilities of BlackRock, including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel and biographical information relating to key personnel; financial statements for BlackRock, Inc., The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and each Trust; the advisory and/or administrative fees paid by each Trust to BlackRock, including comparisons, compiled by an independent third party, with the management fees of funds with similar investment objectives (“Peers”); the profitability of BlackRock and certain industry profitability analyses for advisors to registered investment companies; the expenses of BlackRock in providing the various services; non-investment advisory reimbursements and “fallout” benefits to BlackRock; the expenses of each Trust, including comparisons of the respective Trust’s expense ratios (both before and after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its Peers; and each Trust’s performance for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, when applicable, as well as each Trust’s performance compared to its Peers. This information supplemented the information received by each Board throughout the year regarding each Trust’s performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and compliance.
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees provided a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Boards under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as well as the general principles of relevant law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts, the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters, an advisor’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation, and the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the boards in voting on advisory agreements.
Prior to the Board meeting, the Independent Trustees reviewed a preliminary binder of information, and, in consultation with independent counsel, submitted a memorandum on May 12, 2005, to BlackRock setting forth certain questions and requests for additional information.
66
BlackRock responded to these questions in writing on May 24, 2005 and May 25, 2005. The Independent Trustees reviewed these responses with independent counsel on May 25, 2005.
At the Board meeting on May 26, 2005, BlackRock made a presentation to and responded to additional questions from the Boards. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their legal counsel to review the Boards’ duties in reviewing the Agreements and to consider the renewal of the Agreements. With this background, the Boards considered each Agreement and, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission statements relating to the renewal of the Agreements.
Matters Considered by the Boards
In connection with their deliberations, the Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Trust, including the following: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by BlackRock; the investment performance of each Trust; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trusts; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the BlackRock closed-end funds complex grows; and whether BlackRock realizes other benefits from its relationship with the Trusts.
Nature and Quality of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of BlackRock’s services, the Boards reviewed information concerning the types of services that BlackRock provides and is expected to provide to each Trust, narrative and statistical information concerning each Trust’s performance record and how such performance compares to each Trust’s Peers, information describing BlackRock’s organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Boards further noted the willingness of the personnel of BlackRock to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards further considered the quality of BlackRock’s investment process in making portfolio management decisions. Given the Boards’ experience with BlackRock, the Boards noted that they were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of BlackRock.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Trustees considered the quality of the administrative or non-investment advisory services provided to the Trusts. In this regard, BlackRock provides each Trust with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Trusts) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Trust. In addition to investment management services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Trust with a wide range of services, including: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements and Trust web sites; communications with analysts to support secondary market trading; assisting with daily accounting and pricing; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal and compliance support (such as helping to prepare proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In addition, in evaluating the administrative services, the Boards considered, in particular, BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations in light of the new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations governing compliance. The Boards noted BlackRock’s focus on compliance and its compliance systems. The Independent Trustees noted that BlackRock’s commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds is particularly noteworthy.
The Investment Performance of the Trusts. As previously noted, the Boards received myriad performance information regarding each Trust and its Peers. Among other things, the Boards received materials reflecting each Trust’s historic performance and each Trust’s performance compared to its Peers. More specifically, each Trust’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year total returns (when applicable) were evaluated relative to its respective Peers (including the performance of individual peers as well as the Peers’ average performance).
The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the Boards’ request. The summary placed the Peer rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons. In evaluating the performance information, in certain limited instances, the Boards noted that the Peers most similar to a given Trust still would not adequately reflect such Trust’s investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Trust’s performance with that of its Peers. The Boards noted the quality of information provided by BlackRock throughout the year with respect to the performance of the Trusts. The Boards considered this information in connection with its deliberations as to whether the level of management services provided to each Trust, in light of all the other facts and circumstances relating to that Trust, supports a conclusion that the Trust’s Agreement should be renewed.
Fees and Expenses. In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Trust is expected to bear, the Boards considered each Trust’s current management fee structure and the Trust’s expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as relative to the fees and expense ratios of applicable Peers. In reviewing fees, the Boards, among other things, reviewed comparisons of each Trust’s gross management fees before and after any applicable reimbursements and fee waivers and total expense ratios before and after any applicable waivers with those of the applicable Peers. The Boards also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings that was prepared by an independent third party and summarized by BlackRock at the request of the Boards. This summary placed the rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons.
The Boards also compared the management fees charged to the Trusts by BlackRock to the management fees BlackRock charges other types of clients (such as open-end investment companies and institutional separately managed accounts). With respect to open-end investment companies, the management fees charged to the Trusts generally were higher than those charged to the open-end investment companies. The Boards also noted that BlackRock provides the Trusts with certain services not provided to open-end funds, such as leverage management in connection with the issuance of preferred shares, stock exchange listing compliance requirements, rating agency compliance with respect to the leverage employed by the Trusts and secondary market support and other services not provided to the Trusts, such as monitoring of subscriptions and
67
redemptions. With respect to separately managed institutional accounts, the management fees for such accounts were generally lower than those charged to the comparable Trusts. The Boards noted, however, the various services that are provided and the costs incurred by BlackRock in managing and operating the Trusts. For instance, BlackRock and its affiliates provide numerous services to the Trusts that are not provided to institutional accounts including, but not limited to: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; income monitoring; expense budgeting; preparing proxy statements; and performing other Trust administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Trust (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). Further, the Boards noted the increased compliance requirements for the Trusts in light of new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts.
The Boards considered this information in connection with its deliberations as to whether the fees paid by each Trust under its Agreements, in light of all the other facts and circumstances relating to that Trust, supports a conclusion that the Trust’s Agreements should be renewed.
Profitability. The Trustees also considered BlackRock’s profitability in conjunction with their review of fees. The Trustees reviewed BlackRock’s revenues, expenses and profitability margins on an after-tax basis. In reviewing profitability, the Trustees recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of allocating expenses. The Trustees also reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard, the methods of allocation used appeared reasonable but the Boards noted the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not publicly available.
The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s pre-tax profit margin compared to the pre-tax profitability of various publicly-traded investment management companies and/or investment management companies that publicly disclose some or all of their financial results.
In evaluating the reasonableness of BlackRock’s compensation, the Boards also considered any other revenues paid to BlackRock, including partial reimbursements paid to BlackRock for certain non-investment advisory services. The Boards noted that these payments were less than BlackRock’s costs for providing these services. The Boards also considered indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements) that BlackRock and its affiliates are expected to receive that are attributable to their management of the Trusts.
In reviewing each Trust’s fees and expenses, the Boards examined the potential benefits of economies of scale, and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Trusts’ fee structures, for example through the use of breakpoints. In this connection, the Boards reviewed information provided by BlackRock, noting that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund-level breakpoints, as closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after their initial public offering and each fund is managed independently consistent with its own investment objectives. The information also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure, and that this complex generally is homogeneous with regard to the types of funds managed and is about four times as large as the Trust’s complex. The Boards concluded that breakpoints were not warranted at this time.
Other Benefits. In evaluating fees, the Boards also considered indirect benefits or profits BlackRock or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the Trusts. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to BlackRock and its affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Trusts, including potential benefits accruing to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of potentially stronger relationships with members of the broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of BlackRock and its affiliates, enhanced sales of other investment funds and products sponsored by BlackRock and its affiliates and increased assets under management which may increase the benefits realized by BlackRock from soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers. The Boards also considered the unquantifiable nature of these potential benefits.
Miscellaneous. During the Boards’ deliberations in connection with the Agreements, the Boards were aware that the Advisor pays compensation, out of its own assets, to the lead underwriter and to certain qualifying underwriters of many of its closed-end funds, and to employees of BlackRock’s affiliates that participated in the offering of such funds. The Boards considered whether the management fee met applicable standards in light of the services provided by BlackRock, without regard to whether BlackRock ultimately pays any portion of the anticipated compensation to the underwriters.
Conclusion
The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, determined that each of the factors described above, in light of all the other factors and all of the facts and circumstances applicable to each respective Trust, was acceptable for each Trust and supported the Trustees’ conclusion that the terms of each Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Trust’s fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to the respective Trust, and that the renewal of each Agreement should be approved.

During the period, there were no material changes in any Trust’s investment objective or policies that were not approved by the shareholders or any Trust’s charters or by-laws or in the principle risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. There have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible that was not approved by the shareholders for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolio.

Set forth below is a summary of notices sent by each Trust, if any, pursuant to Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Section 19 requires each Trust to accompany dividend payments with a notice if any part of that payment is from a source other than accumulated net investment income, not including profits or losses from the sale of securities or other properties. These notices are not for tax reporting purposes and were provided only for informational purposes in order to comply with the requirements of Section 19. In January 2006, after the completion of each Trust’s tax year, shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV which will reflect the amount of income, capital gain and return of capital paid by the Trust taxable in calendar year 2005 and reportable on your 2005 federal and other income tax returns.

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (866) 216-0242.
The Trusts have delegated to the Advisor the voting of proxies relating to their voting securities pursuant to the Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures. You may obtain a copy of these proxy voting policies and procedures, without charge, by calling (866)216-0242. These policies and procedures are also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) at http://www.sec.gov.
Information on how proxies relating to the Trusts’ voting securities were voted (if any) by the Advisor during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30th is available without charge, upon request, by calling (866) 216-0242 or on the website of the Commission at http://www.sec.gov.
The Trusts file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings for the first and third quarters of their respective fiscal years with the Commission on Form N-Q. Each Trust’s Form N-Q will be available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Each Trust’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. Each Trust’s Form N-Q may also be obtained, upon request, by calling (866) 216-0242.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
(a) The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics (the "Code of Ethics") that applies
to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting
officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) The Registrant has not amended its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto.
(d) The Registrant has not granted a waiver or an implicit waiver from a provision of its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto.
(e) Not applicable.
(f) The Registrant's Code of Ethics is attached as an Exhibit hereto.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The
Registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that it has three audit committee
financial experts serving on its audit committee, each of whom is an "independent" Trustee: Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer, Kent Dixon and Frank Fabozzi.
Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for
any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit
committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as
an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties,
obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and
liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board
of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) Audit
Fees.
The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional
services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant's
annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant
in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those
fiscal years were $0 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005
and $0 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.
(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements and are not reported above in Item 4(a) were $0 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and
$0 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The nature of these services was attest services not required by statute or regulation, overhead and out-of-pocket expenses.
(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $0 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $0 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The nature of these services was federal, state and local income and excise tax return preparation and related advice and planning and miscellaneous tax advice.
(d) All Other Fees. There were no fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported above in Items 4(a) through (c).
(e) Audit
Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.
(1)
The Registrant has polices and procedures (the "Policy") for the pre-approval by the Registrant's Audit Committee
of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Services (as each is defined in the Policy)
provided by the Registrant’s independent auditor (the "Independent Auditor")
to the Registrant and other "Covered Entities" (as defined below). The term
of any such pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless
the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The amount
of any such pre-approval is set forth in the appendices to the Policy (the "Service
Pre-Approval Documents"). At its first meeting of each calendar year, the Audit
Committee will approve or re-approve the Service Pre-Approval Documents for
that year, together with any changes deemed necessary or desirable by the Audit
Committee. The Audit Committee may, from time to time, modify the nature of
the services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees pre-approved or both.
For the purposes of the Policy, "Covered Services" means (A) all engagements for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Independent Auditor to the Registrant and (B) all engagements for non-audit services that directly impacted the operations and financial reporting or the Registrant to be provided by the Independent Auditor to any Covered Entity. "Covered Entities" means (1) BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) or (2) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant.
In the intervals between the scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority under this Policy to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (the "Chairman"). The Chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions under this Policy to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. At each scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee will review with the Independent Auditor the Covered Services pre-approved by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority, if any, and the fees related thereto. Based on these reviews, the Audit Committee can modify, at its discretion, the pre-approval originally granted by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority. This modification can be to the nature of services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees approved, or both. Audit Committee may modify or withdraw this delegated authority at any time the Audit Committee determines that it is appropriate to do so.
Fee levels for all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditor and pre-approved under this Policy will be established annually by the Audit Committee and set forth in the Service Pre-Approval Documents. Any increase in pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
The terms and fees of the annual Audit services engagement for the Registrant are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions or fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Registrant structure or other matters.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, any other Audit services for the Registrant not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are not required for the audit, but are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements of the Registrant and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the other Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditor. Audit-Related services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditor can provide Tax services to the Registrant and Covered Entities such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditor in connection with a transaction, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Tax services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
All Other services that are covered and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).
Requests or applications to provide Covered Services that require approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) must be submitted to the Audit Committee or the Chairman, as the case may be, by both the Independent Auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant or the respective Covered Entity, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, (a) the request or application is consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on auditor independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. A request or application submitted to the Chairman between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should include a discussion as to why approval is being sought prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.
(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrant's accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, the Advisor (except for any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for each of the last two fiscal years were $1,341,450 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and $835,100 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.
(h) The Registrant's Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
The Registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee of the Registrant is comprised of: Dr. Andrew F.
Brimmer; Richard E. Cavanagh; Kent Dixon and Frank J. Fabozzi.
Item 6. Schedule of Investments.
The
Registrant’s Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to
Shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
The
Registrant has delegated the voting of proxies relating to its voting securities
to its investment advisor, BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") and its sub-advisor, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the
"Sub-Advisor"). The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Advisor and Sub-Advisor (the "Proxy Voting Policies")
are attached as an Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL hereto.
Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies
Not applicable.
Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management
