NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION & ACCOUNTING POLICIES The BlackRock Investment Quality
Municipal Trust Inc. ("Municipal Investment Quality") was organized as a
Maryland corporation on November 19, 1992. The BlackRock California Investment
Quality Municipal Trust Inc. ("California Investment Quality"), The BlackRock
New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. ("New Jersey Investment
Quality") and The BlackRock New York Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc.
("New York Investment Quality") were organized as Maryland corporations on April
12, 1993. The BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust ("Florida
Investment Quality") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April
15, 1993. BlackRock Municipal Income Trust ("Municipal Income"), BlackRock
California Municipal Income Trust ("California Income"), BlackRock Florida
Municipal Income Trust ("Florida Income"), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income
Trust ("New Jersey Income") and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust ("New
York Income") (collectively the "Income Trusts") were organized as Delaware
statuatory trusts on March 30, 2001. Municipal Investment Quality and Municipal
Income are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. California Investment
Quality, California Income, Florida Investment Quality, Florida Income, New
Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Income, New York Investment Quality and
New York Income are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management
investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment
Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality are
herein referred to as the Investment Quality Trusts. The ability of issuers of
debt securities held by each Trust to meet their obligations may be affected by
economic developments in a state, a specific industry or region.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Trusts.
SECURITIES VALUATION: Municipal securities (including commitments to purchase
such securities on a "when-issued" basis) are valued on the basis of prices
provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each
Trust's Board of Trustees or Board of Directors as the case may be (each, a
"Board"). In determining the value of a particular security, pricing services
may use certain information with respect to transactions in such securities,
quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and
various relationships between securities. Short-term investments may be valued
at amortized cost. Investments in other investment companies are valued at net
asset value. Any securities or other assets for which such current market
quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in
good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision
and responsibility of, each Trust's Board.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded on trade date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated
on the identified cost basis. Each Trust also records interest income on an
accrual basis and amortizes premium and/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. At October 31, 2003, there were no open
financial futures contracts in any of the Trusts.
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 carryforwards may be distributed
annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined
as described in Note 4.
ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
50
DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND BLACKROCK CLOSED-END SHARE EQUIVALENT INVESTMENT PLAN:
Under the revised deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust's Board,
non-interested Trustees/Directors may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion
of their annual compensation. As of January 1, 2003, the Board elected to
require its non-interested members to defer a portion of their annual complex
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 funds selected by the Trustees/Directors. This has the same
economic effect for the Trustees/Directors as if the Trustees/Directors had
invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.
The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder
represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each
Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by
the Trustees/Directors in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.
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 each Trust, were increased
(decreased):

NOTE 2. AGREEMENTS Each Trust has an Investment Management Agreement with
BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of
BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to the Income Trusts. BlackRock, Inc.
is an indirect, majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group,
Inc. The investment management agreement on the Income Trusts covers both
investment advisory and administration services. Municipal Investment Quality
had an Administration Agreement with Princeton Administrators, L.P.
("Princeton"), an indirect wholly owned affiliate of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.
California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment
Quality and New York Investment Quality had an Administration Agreement with
Prudential Investments LLC ("Prudential"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Prudential Financial, Inc.
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 Investment Quality
Trusts and 0.60% for the Income Trusts, of the Trust's average weekly managed
assets. The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment
advisory fee or other expenses on the Income 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 each Trust's respective administrator is
computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.15% to Princeton
and 0.10% to Prudential, on other than the Income Trusts, of the Trust's average
weekly managed assets. The administration fee paid to Princeton is subject to a
minimum monthly fee of $12,500.
On May 22, 2003, the Board approved the change of the current administrators
to the Advisor. The new administration agreements became effective August 18,
2003. The administration fee structures for each Trust, as described above, will
remain unchanged under the new administration agreement.
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. The Advisor pays occupancy and certain
clerical and accounting costs for Core Bond and Strategic Bond. Each Trust's
respective administrator pays occupancy and certain clerical and accounting
costs of their respective Trust(s). 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, Municipal Investment Quality,
Municipal Income, California Income, Florida Income, New Jersey Income and New
York Income 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, 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 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 subclassification as
a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment
restrictions and (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment
company.

at the time of purchase, in securities rated BB/Ba or B by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of
the above mentioned Trusts (collectively, the "Trusts"), including the
portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2003, and the related statements of
operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the years in the five-year period then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the Trusts as of
October 31, 2003, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended,
and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to each Trust's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), common
shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends
and capital gains reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (the "Plan Agent")
in the respective Trust's shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who elect
not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by
check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are
held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent,
which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan.
After an Investment Quality Trust 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"). The
Investment Quality Trusts will not issue any new shares under the Plan.
After an Income 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 net
asset value per share ("NAV") is equal to or less than the market price per
share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to
herein as "market premium"), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in
newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued
shares to be credited to each participant's account will be determined by
dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are
issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment
date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market
price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater
than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such
condition being referred to herein as "market discount"), the Plan Agent will
invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in
open market purchases.
Participants in the Plan may withdraw from the Plan upon written notice to
the Plan Agent and will receive certificates for whole Trust shares and a cash
payment for any fraction of a Trust share.
The Plan Agent's fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a
pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan
Agent's open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions
will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on
such dividends or distributions.
Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no
direct service charge to participants in the Plan, however, each Trust reserves
the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the
participants. 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 150 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, or (800) 699-1BFM.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAX INFORMATION
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
Trust during such tax year. Accordingly, during the tax year-ended October 31,
2003, all dividends paid by all of the Trusts (excluding New York Income, which
has a July 31st, tax year end) were federally tax-exempt interest dividends.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Board of each Investment Quality Trust has adopted a non-fundamental
policy permitting each Investment Quality Trust to invest up to 20% of its
managed assets, measured at the time of investment, in securities rated BB/Ba or
B by Moody's Investors Service, Inc, Standard & Poors' Ratings Group, a division
of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc., Fitch Ratings or another nationally
recognized rating agency or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable credit
quality by BlackRock Advisors, Inc. Non-fundamental policies may be changed
without shareholder approval.
Due to the adoption of this non-fundamental policy, each Investment
Quality Trust will be subject to the following additional risk:
RISKS OF BELOW INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES. Each Investment Quality
Trust may invest up to 20% of its managed assets in below investment
grade securities commonly known as "junk bonds." As a result, each
Investment Quality Trust is subject to the increased risks associated
with lower grade securities. Lower grade securities are subject to
greater risk of default. The prices of these lower grade securities are
more sensitive to negative developments, such as a decline in the
issuer's revenues or a general economic downturn, than are prices of
higher grade securities. Adverse conditions could make it difficult at
times for the Trust to sell certain of these securities or could result
in lower prices for the securities. Lower grade securities tend to be
less liquid than investment grade securities. The market value of lower
grade securities tends to be more volatile than investment grade
securities. Lower grade securities generally are regarded as having
predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's
ability to pay interest and repay principal. They may face major
ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial or
economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet
timely interest and principal payments.
The Boards also clarified that each Investment Quality Trust's credit
quality policy applies only at the time of purchase and that an Investment
Quality Trust is not required to dispose of a security if a rating agency
downgrades its assessment of the security's credit characteristics.
