Municipal Strategic and Pennsylvania Strategic are herein referred to as the Strategic Trusts.

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

Investments Valuation: Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trust’s Board of Trustees or Board of Directors as the case may be (each, a “Board”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. A futures contract is valued at the last sale price as of the close of the commodities exchange on which it trades. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in other investment companies are valued at net asset value. Any investments or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, each Trust’s Board.

Investments Transactions and Investment Income: Investments transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Each Trust also records interest income on an accrual basis and amortizes premium and/or accretes discount on securities purchased using the interest method.

Financial Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument for a set price on a future date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trust’s basis in the contract.

     Financial futures contracts, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Futures contracts can be sold to effectively shorten an otherwise longer duration portfolio. In the same sense, futures contracts can be purchased to lengthen a portfolio that is shorter than its duration target. Thus, by buying or selling futures contracts, the Trusts may attempt to manage the duration of positions so that changes in interest rates do not change the duration of the portfolio unexpectedly.

Segregation: In cases in which the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that each Trust segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities, reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on its books and records cash or other liquid debt securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated.

Federal Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s intention to continue to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient net income to shareholders. For this reason and because substantially all of the gross income of each Trust consists of tax-exempt interest, no Federal income tax provisions are required.

Dividends and Distributions: Each Trust declares and pays dividends and distributions to common shareholders monthly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss car-ryforwards may be distributed annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 4.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by the Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”) are required to defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock closed-end trusts selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.

78


     The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

Note 2. Agreements

Each Trust has an Investment 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 the 2018 Trusts and 2020 Trusts. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The Investment Management Agreements for the 2018 Trusts, 2020 Trusts and Strategic Trusts cover both investment advisory and administration services. Each 2008 Trust, Insured Municipal Trust and Municipal Target Trust has an Administration Agreement with the Advisor.

     Each Trust’s investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.35% for the 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal and Municipal Target, 0.40% for the 2018 Trusts, 0.50% for the 2020 Trusts and 0.60% for the Strategic Trusts, of the Trust’s average weekly managed assets. “Managed assets” means the total assets of a Trust (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee or other expenses on the Strategic Trusts as a percentage of managed assets as follows: 0.25% for the first five years of each of the Trust’s operations, 0.20% in year six, 0.15% in year seven, 0.10% in year eight and 0.05% in year nine.

     The administration fee paid to the Advisor by the 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal Trust and Municipal Trust is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.10% for each 2008 Trust and Insured Municipal Trust and 0.07% for Municipal Target Trust, of the Trust’s average weekly managed assets.

     Pursuant to the agreements, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolio and pays the compensation of officers of each Trust who are affiliated persons of the Advisor, occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of each Trust. Each Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for certain operational support services provided to each Trust.

     Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, each Trust received earning credits from its custodian for positive cash balances maintained, which are used to offset custody fees.

     A Trust may not declare dividends or make other distributions on common shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding preferred shares would be less than 200%.

     The preferred shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The preferred shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Trust, as set forth in each Trust’s Declaration of Trust/Articles Supplementary are not satisfied.

     The holders of preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of common shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of common shares as a single class. However, holders of preferred shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Directors/Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares, voting separately as a class, would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the preferred shares, (b) change a Trust’s sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company.

Note 6. Dividends

Subsequent to June 30, 2004, the Board of each Trust declared dividends from undistributed earnings per common share payable August 2, 2004, to shareholders of record on July 15, 2004. The per share common dividends declared were:

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS


     Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), common shareholders of the 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal and Municipal Target may elect, while the common shareholders of the 2018 Trusts, 2020 Trusts and Strategic Trusts are automatically enrolled, to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan.

     After a 2008 Trust, Insured Municipal, 2018 Trust, 2020 Trust and/or Municipal Target declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, by the purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trust’s primary exchange or elsewhere (“open market purchases”). These Trusts will not issue any new shares under the Plan.

     After a Strategic Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open market purchases.

     Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.

     The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

     Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, or by calling (800) 699-1BFM.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)


     We are required by the Internal Revenue Code to advise you within 60 days of a Trust’s tax year-end as to the Federal tax status of dividends paid by the Trusts during such tax year. Accordingly, during the tax year-ended June 30, 2003, all dividends paid by the Strategic Trusts (the only Trusts with June 30th tax year-ends) were federally tax-exempt interest dividends.

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 (800)227-7BFM.

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 (800) 699-1236. These policies and procedures are also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at http://www.sec.gov.
