NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization & Accounting Policies BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (Municipal Investment Quality) was organized as a Maryland corporation on November 19, 1992. 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) were organized as Maryland corporations on April 12, 1993. 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 Trusts 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. A futures contract is valued at the last sale price as of the close of the commodities exchange on which it trades. 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 Trusts 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 days 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 Trusts 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 Trusts 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.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by the Trusts 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.
52
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), 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 covers both investment advisory and administration services.
Each Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Income Trusts as a percentage of managed assets as follows: 0.25% for the first five years of each of the Trusts operations, 0.20% in year six, 0.15% in year seven, 0.10% in year eight and 0.05% in year nine.
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 each Trusts custody agreement, each Trust received earning credits from its custodian for positive cash balances maintained, which are used to offset custody fees.

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 Trusts 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.

Note 7. Reimbursements In December of 2003, the Advisor determined that each of the Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality had purchased high yield bonds in violation of a non-fundamental investment policy requiring their investments to be of investment grade quality at the time of purchase. The Advisor has reimbursed each of the Trusts for the realized and unrealized losses incurred from the date of purchase through December 18, 2003, as a result of these unauthorized purchases.

Such amounts have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the six months ended April 30, 2004.
Note 8. Investment Policy On December 18, 2003, the Board approved a resolution for each of the Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality whereby each such Trust adopted a non-fundamental investment policy permitting each Trust to invest up to 20% of its managed assets, measured at the time of purchase, in securities rated BB/Ba or B by Moodys 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. or its affiliates.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS
Pursuant to each Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Trusts 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 participants 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 Agents 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 Agents 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 (800) 699-1BFM.

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 Advisors 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.
