NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 business 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 Directors/Trustees (the "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. 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 accretes discount to interest income on
securities purchased using the interest method.
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 5.
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 PLAN: Under the revised deferred compensation plan
approved by each Trust's Board, non-interested Directors/Trustees 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 Trusts selected by the Directors/Trustees.
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 Directors/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 Income Trusts. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority
owned subsidiary of The PNCFinancial Services Group, Inc. The investment
management agreement on the Income Trusts covers both investment advisory and
administration services. Municipal Investment Quality has 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 have Administration Agreements with Prudential Investments
LLC ("PI"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc.
49
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. "Managed assets" means the total assets of the 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 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, 0.10% to PI and
0.15% to Princeton, 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.
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 the Income Trusts. Each Investment Quality
Trust's 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, during the six
months ended April 30, 2003, the amounts earned were $6,604, $4,301, $6,392,

reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. Dividends on 28 day
preferred shares are cumulative at a rate which is reset every 28 days based on
the results of an auction. The dividend ranges on the preferred shares for each
of the Trusts for the six months ended April 30, 2003, were as follows:

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 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 and (b) change a
Trust's sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change its
fundamental investment restrictions.

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. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the
Plan Agent at 150 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021 or (800) 699-1BFM.
