JUNE 30, 2008


A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

Throughout the past year, investors were overwhelmed by lingering credit and financial market troubles, surging oil

prices and more recently, renewed inflation concerns. Healthy nonfinancial corporate profits and robust exporting

activity remained among the few bright spots, helping the economy to grow at a modest, but still positive, pace.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) has been aggressive in its attempts to stoke economic growth and ease

financial market instability. In addition to slashing the target federal funds rate 325 basis points (3.25%) between

September 2007 and April 2008, the central bank introduced the new Term Securities Lending Facility, granted broker-

dealers access to the discount window and used its own balance sheet to help negotiate the sale of Bear Stearns.

As widely anticipated, the end of the period saw a pause in Fed action, as the central bank held the target rate steady

at 2.0% amid rising inflationary pressures.

As the Fed’s bold response to the financial crisis helped ease credit turmoil and investor anxiety, U.S. equity markets

sank sharply over the last six months, notwithstanding a brief rally in the spring. International markets were not immune

to the tumult, with most regions also registering declines.

Treasury securities also traded in a volatile fashion, but generally rallied (yields fell as prices correspondingly rose), with

investors continuing to seek safety as part of a broader flight to quality. The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which fell

to 3.34% in March 2008, climbed up to the 4.20% range in mid-June as investors temporarily shifted out of Treasury

issues in favor of riskier assets (such as stocks and other high-quality fixed income sectors), then reversed course and

declined to 3.99% by period-end when credit fears re-emerged.

Tax-exempt issues eked out gains for the reporting period, but underperformed their taxable counterparts, as the group

continued to be pressured by problems among municipal bond insurers and the breakdown in the market for auction

rate securities.

The major benchmark indexes generated results that largely reflected heightened investor risk aversion:

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2008 BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
The Fund outperformed both the broad-market Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index and its Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds cate-
gory average for the 12-month period. Fund returns trailed that of the
Lehman Brothers 3-Year General Obligation Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?
U.S.Treasury yields generally declined (while prices correspondingly
rose) during the period in response to weaker U.S. economic growth and
declining equity valuations. The Federal Reserve Board (Fed) cut short-
term interest rates from 5.25% to 2.0% between September 2007 and
April 2008. The municipal market underperformed U.S. Treasury issues,
as credit downgrades of the monoline insurers and the failure of auction
rate securities disrupted normal market function. Liquidity diminished as
broker-dealers reduced activity to protect their fragile balance sheets.
The municipal market experienced its own “flight-to-quality,” with natural
AAA-rated and AA-rated municipal bonds generally performing much
better than lower-rated and insured issues.

The Fund’s conservative investment strategy and overweight in the front
part of the yield curve were the main factors behind its relative outper-
formance. The Federal Reserve Board’s aggressive easing of monetary
policy in light of the liquidity and credit crisis had the greatest positive
impact on the front end of the yield curve, an area that the Fund was
overweight. The flight to quality that ensued in the fixed income markets
benefited this segment of the curve as well, further enhancing Fund
returns. Also contributing positively was the outperformance of higher-
quality issues versus insured securities and lower-rated spread product.

The Fund’s average credit quality was maintained in the AA category
as purchases were generally focused on prerefunded bonds and high-
quality general obligation bonds, both of which outperformed the
broader market for most of the annual period.

The unprecedented downgrades of AAA monoline insurance companies
created significant turmoil in lower-rated issues, as well as monoline-
backed securities with lower underlying ratings. Although the Fund has
some exposure to securities backed by monoline insurance, it is minimal
and the underlying issues remain strong. Nevertheless, even a relatively
small allocation in this area modestly detracted from performance
during the year.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
Cash reserves were drawn down to a minimum in the belief that cash
would underperform issues with a maturity of one to two years during a
period of Fed easing. Additionally, we continued to swap out of insured
bonds and lower-quality issues in favor of prerefunded bonds and
general obligation bonds.

Describe Fund positioning at period-end.
At period-end, the Fund is positioned for a neutral Fed policy throughout
the remainder of 2008, which should benefit performance as the curve
may continue to steepen due to inflationary concerns. This would nega-
tively impact longer-dated issues, while shorter-term securities should
continue to hold their value. The portfolio’s average credit quality of
AA also bodes well given the continued uncertainty in the economy
and the impact on lower-quality issues.

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2008 BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
The Fund underperformed the broad-market Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index for the 12-month period. The Fund’s Institutional shares out-
performed the Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds category average,
while Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 shares trailed the
Lipper peers.

What factors influenced performance?
U.S.Treasury yields generally declined (while prices correspondingly
rose) during the period in response to weaker U.S. economic growth and
declining equity valuations. The Federal Reserve Board cut short-term
interest rates from 5.25% to 2.0% between September 2007 and April
2008. The municipal market underperformed U.S. Treasury issues, as
credit downgrades of the monoline insurers and the failure of auction
rate securities disrupted normal market function. Liquidity diminished as
broker-dealers reduced activity to protect their fragile balance sheets.
The municipal market experienced its own “flight-to-quality,” with natural
AAA-rated and AA-rated municipal bonds generally performing much
better than lower-rated and insured issues.

Fund performance was negatively impacted by three factors. First, the
Fund was positioned with a more constructive view of the market during
a period in which yields generally rose. The Fund’s overweight in the
longer part of the yield curve further hampered results, as the curve
steepened and short yields declined while long yields rose. Exposure to
insured bonds with weaker underlying ratings, namely those rated A- or
below, also proved detrimental amid the tumult in the municipal market
and among insured bonds, in particular.

On the positive side, our efforts to upgrade credit quality by purchasing
favored insurers (such as Financial Security Assurance Inc.) aided per-
formance, as the spread between higher- and lower-rated securities
widened. Our efforts to increase coupons and dampen duration exten-
sion also benefited Fund results.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
The municipal market endured significant stress and volatility throughout
the annual period in light of the transformation in the monoline insur-
ance industry. Three of the four largest bond insurers were downgraded
from AAA status, and have since largely stopped writing new business.
This had far-reaching implications, as insured bonds accounted for
nearly 50% of all municipal issuance as recently as last year. In
response, working with our Municipal Research Group, we combed
through the Fund’s holdings to identify sale candidates based on our
underlying issuer rating and insurer profile. We focused on upgrading
credit quality and increasing overall portfolio liquidity. Additionally, we
worked to increase average coupon and dampen duration extension.

Describe Fund positioning at period-end.
The Fund was positioned with a modestly constructive view of the
market at period-end, with an overweight to the longer end of the yield
curve. The municipal yield curve steepened significantly over the prior
one-year period and we believe currently offers attractive value. Going
forward, we will look to add premium-coupon bonds from high-quality
insurers and issuers, and will focus primarily on the 25-year area of
the curve.

BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2008 7


Fund Summary as of June 30, 2008 BlackRock National Municipal Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
The Fund underperformed the broad-market Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index and the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds category
average for the 12-month period.

What factors influenced performance?
U.S.Treasury yields generally declined (while prices correspondingly
rose) during the period in response to weaker U.S. economic growth and
declining equity valuations. The Federal Reserve Board cut short-term
interest rates from 5.25% to 2.0% between September 2007 and April
2008. The municipal market underperformed U.S. Treasury issues, as
credit downgrades of the monoline insurers and the failure of auction
rate securities disrupted normal market function. Liquidity diminished
as broker-dealers reduced activity to protect their fragile balance sheets.
The municipal market experienced its own “flight-to-quality,” with natural
AAA-rated and AA-rated municipal bonds generally performing much
better than lower-rated and insured issues.

In general, any Fund exposure to alternative minimum tax (AMT) bonds,
airline- and tobacco-backed securities and high yield credits detracted
from performance over the one-year period, as these issues suffered
amid substantial credit spread widening. Similarly, any Fund exposure
to insured (monoline-backed) securities proved detrimental, as the entire
sector underperformed following the credit rating downgrades of the
major insurers. In addition, the Fund’s high cash reserve position hin-
dered performance during periods that witnessed improving bond prices,
as it placed us in a less aggressive stance versus other funds in the
Lipper peer group.

On the positive side, we continued to focus our efforts on delivering a
steady, high level of income for shareholders, within a higher average
credit profile. This was advantageous as it resulted in an above-average
accrual rate and current yield for the Fund. Likewise, the Fund’s credit
quality of AA was additive in a market of declining credit fundamentals
and widening credit spreads. Lastly, the Fund’s high cash reserve posi-
tion was invested in higher-yielding cash equivalents due to dislocation
in the money market fund arena, which also enhanced results.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
During the annual period, we permitted the Fund’s cash reserves to
accumulate to a historically high percentage as higher-yielding cash
equivalents became available given the abovementioned dislocation
in the money market sector. We also deleveraged some of the Fund’s
inverse floating-rate positions.

Describe Fund positioning at period-end.
The Fund ended the period with a continued low duration posture
relative to its Lipper peers. The Fund maintains a high current income,
despite its relatively high cash reserve, and a high average credit quality
of AA-. We have ample cash and short-term securities (9% of total
assets) to invest should better yielding securities become available,
either from a growing new-issue calendar or a deteriorating secondary
market. Market illiquidity favors the fund that has cash to spend as
swaps and raising reserves remains difficult in the current environment.

BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2008 9


Fund Summary as of June 30, 2008 BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
The Fund’s total return lagged both the broad-market and performance
benchmarks and its comparable Lipper category average for the 12-
month period.

What factors influenced performance?
U.S.Treasury yields generally declined (while prices correspondingly
rose) during the period in response to weaker U.S. economic growth and
declining equity valuations. The Federal Reserve Board cut short-term
interest rates from 5.25% to 2.0% between September 2007 and April
2008. The municipal market underperformed U.S. Treasury issues, as
credit downgrades of the monoline insurers and the failure of auction
rate securities disrupted normal market function. Liquidity diminished as
broker-dealers reduced activity to protect their fragile balance sheets.
The municipal market experienced its own “flight-to-quality,” with natural
AAA-rated and AA-rated municipal bonds generally performing much
better than lower-rated and insured issues.

As stated in our last report to shareholders, the Fund’s exposure at the
lower end of the credit spectrum has suffered disproportionately due to
a prevalence of discounted securities exhibiting relatively high duration
profiles. The Fund’s yield curve exposure also proved detrimental. The
municipal yield curve steepened significantly over the one-year period,
which primarily benefited the short end. In contrast, high yield municipal
issuance is heavily weighted at the long end of the maturity spectrum
and, as a consequence, the Fund’s investments tend to be concentrated
in this segment of the curve.

On the positive side, performance was aided by an up-in-quality bias
that has been maintained since the Fund’s inception. However, the bene-
ficial impact has been muted somewhat by the extent to which portfolio
investments have been adversely affected by deteriorating credit metrics
within the monoline insurance industry. Some modest additional benefit
can be attributed to an underweight exposure to the airline sector, which
has been subject to particularly acute stress amidst weak economic
growth and rising energy prices.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
Throughout the year, we continued to pursue opportunities to boost the
Fund’s distribution yield. While some progress was achieved, a dearth of
fairly priced securities in the municipal high yield arena continued to
thwart efforts to reduce cash balances. At times, we sought alternative
methods that included the purchase of higher-yielding short-term vari-
able rate and auction rate instruments, as well as the use of a leveraged
form of income enhancement known as tender option bond trusts. On a
sector basis, recent investments were made in utilities, education and oil
services, while exposures to long-term care and tobacco were either
reduced or eliminated.

Describe Fund positioning at period-end.
At period-end, the Fund was positioned somewhat lower than bench-
mark duration, largely as a result of a high cash balance. While our pref-
erence is to remain more fully invested, we are satisfied conserving cash
for the investment opportunities that likely lie ahead.

For All Funds

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guaran-
tee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the
performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain
performance data current to the most recent month-end. Performance
results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay
on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown
in each of the performance tables on pages 5, 7, 9 and 11 assume
reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net

asset value on the payable date. The Funds’ investment adviser reim-
bursed a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such reimbursement,
a Fund’s performance would have been lower. Investment return and
principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid to each
class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distri-
bution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are
deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.

BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2008 13


Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a)
expenses related to transactions, including sales charges, redemption
fees and exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses including advisory
fees, distribution fees including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The
expense examples on pages 14 – 17 (which are based on a hypothetical
investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2008 and held through
June 30, 2008) is intended to assist shareholders both in calculating
expenses based on an investment in a Fund and in comparing
these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The tables provide information about actual account values and actual
expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during
the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account
value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number correspon-
ding to their share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During
the Period.”

The tables also provide information about hypothetical account values and
hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an
assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist
shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these
Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5%
hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.

The expenses shown in the tables are intended to highlight shareholders’
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as
sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypotheti-
cal tables are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not
help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning differ-
ent funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder
expenses would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (“The Bond Fund”) consisting of
BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund, BlackRock Municipal Insured
Fund, BlackRock National Municipal Fund and BlackRock High Yield
Municipal Fund (the “Funds” or individually as the “Fund”) is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940
Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
For the BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund, prior to the commence-
ment of operations on August 1, 2006, the Fund had no operations
other than those relating to organizational matters and the issuance of
75 shares of Common Stock of the Fund on July 10, 2006 to Fund
Asset Management, L.P. for $750. The Bond Fund’s financial statements
are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, which may require the use of manage-
ment accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. The Funds offer multiple classes of shares. BlackRock and
Institutional Shares are sold only to certain eligible investors. Investor A
and Investor A1 Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Shares
of Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 may be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, divi-
dend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions,
except that Investor A, Investor A1, Investor B, Investor C, Investor C1
Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholding servicing of
such shares, and Investor B, Investor C, and Investor C1 Shares also
bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Each
class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its
shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor
B shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A and
Investor A1 distribution plan, as applicable).

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds:

Valuation of Investments: Municipal investments (including commit-
ments 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 the Funds’ Board of Directors (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, pricing matrixes, market transac-
tions in comparable investments and various relationships between
investments. Swap agreements are valued by quoted fair values received
by a Fund’s pricing service or through brokers. Investments in open-end
investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day.
Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last
sale price. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in
a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of
the market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by
a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value
Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets the investment
advisor and/or the subadvisor seeks to determine the price that the
Fund 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 the investment advisor and/or the
sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subse-
quently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Derivitive Financial Instruments: The Funds may engage in various port-
folio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Fund and
to hedge, or protect, its exposure to interest rate movements and move-
ments in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the con-
tract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the under-
lying security or if the counterparty does not perform under contract.

Forward interest rate swaps — The Funds may enter into forward
interest rate swaps. In a forward interest rate swap, the Funds and
the counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified
notional contract amount, commencing on a specified future effective
date, unless terminated earlier. These periodic payments received or
made by the Funds are recorded in the accompanying Statements of
Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses
are realized upon termination of the swap agreements. Swaps are
marked-to market daily and changes in value are recorded as unreal-
ized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated, the
Funds will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and
the Funds’ basis in the contract, if any. The Funds generally intend to
close each forward interest rate swap before the accrual date speci-
fied in the agreement and therefore avoid entering into the interest
rate swap underlying each forward interest rate swap.

Futures — The Funds may purchase or sell financial futures contracts
and options on such futures contracts. Futures contracts are con-
tracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and
at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Funds
deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by
the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the
contract, the Funds agree to receive from, or pay to, the broker an
amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the con-
tract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and
are recognized by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the
contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was
opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may
purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement
of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the
purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securi-
ties under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring
them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities
before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may
fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at
settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not
entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. Upon making a
commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Funds
will hold liquid assets worth at least the equivalent of the amount due.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Funds
leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts
(“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special
purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of
the Funds, transfers municipal securities. Other funds managed by the
investment advisor may also contribute municipal securities to a TOB
into which the Funds have contributed securities. A TOB typically issues
two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates,
which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB
Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that
made the transfer or to affiliates of the Funds. The TOB Residuals held by
a Fund include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of a pro-
portional share of the floating rate certificates to tender their certificates
at par, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of
the municipal securities from the TOB to the Fund. The cash received
by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less
transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund, which typically invests the cash
in additional municipal securities. Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal
securities to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, therefore
the municipal securities deposited into a TOB are presented
in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments and the proceeds from the trans-
action are reported as a liability of the Fund.

Interest income from the underlying security is recorded by the Funds on
an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing
and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee
services to a TOB are reported as expenses of the Funds. The floating
rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their
holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption
at par at each reset date. At June 30, 2008, the aggregate value of the
underlying municipal securities transferred to TOBs, the related liablility
for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the trust certifi-
cates were as follows:

        Range of     
        Interest    Underlying 
        Rates on    Municipal 
    Liability for    the Liability    Bonds 
    Trust    for Trust    Transferred 
    Certificates    Certificates    to TOBs 

 
 
 
BlackRock Municipal        1.63% –     
Insured Fund    $76,755,000    3.081%    $155,010,911 
BlackRock National        1.863% –     
Municipal Fund    $74,912,500    3.411%    $151,493,075 
BlackRock High Yield             
Municipal Fund    $ 1,205,000    2.438%    $ 2,413,302 

 
 
 

Financial transactions executed through TOBs generally will underperform
the market for fixed rate municipal bonds in a rising interest rate envi-
ronment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when
interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Should short-term inter-
est rates rise, the Fund’s investment in TOB Residuals likely will adversely
affect a Fund’s net investment income and dividends to shareholders.
Fluctuations in the market value of municipal securities deposited into
the TOB may adversely affect the Funds’ net asset values per share.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which
are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not
provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experi-
ence greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obliga-
tions which provide for regular interest payments.

Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive posi-
tions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that
each Fund segregate assets in connection with certain investments
(e.g., futures) or certain borrowings, each Fund will, consistant with cer-
tain 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 physi-
cally segregated.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment trans-
actions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into
(the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions
are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded
on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on the accrual
basis. Each Fund amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securi-
ties. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated
daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income
are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are
recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

Income Taxes: It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment compa-
nies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its share-
holders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Effective December 31, 2007, the Funds implemented Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition thresh-
old a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncer-
tainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an
entity, including investment companies, before being measured and rec-
ognized in the financial statements. The investment advisor has evaluat-
ed the application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and has determined that the
adoption of FIN 48 does not have a material impact on the Funds’ finan-
cial statements. The Funds file U.S. federal and various state and local
tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The
statute of limitations on the Funds’ U.S. federal tax returns remains open
for the years ended June 30, 2005 through June 30, 2007. The statutes
of limitations on the Funds’ state and local tax returns may remain open
for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclo-
sures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In addition, in February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 159 permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.
FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different
measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The
impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently
being assessed.

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
“Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”) was issued and
is effective effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instru-
ments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to
understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are
accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results
of operations and financial position. The impact on the Funds’ financial
statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Bank Overdaft: BlackRock National Municipal Fund recorded a bank
overdraft due to estimate of available cash.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Funds’ or their classes are
charged to that Fund or class. Other operating expenses are pro-rated
among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropri-
ate methods. Other expenses of the Funds are allocated daily to each
class based on their relative net assets.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

Each Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), and indirect, wholly owned sub-
sidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and
administration services. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC”) are principal owners of
BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operation of the Bond Fund. For such
services, the Funds pay the Advisor a monthly fee with respect to each
Fund at the annual rates set forth below which are based upon the aver-
age daily value of the Fund’s net assets.

    Rate of Advisory Fee 
   
    BlackRock BlackRock BlackRock 
Aggregate of Average    Short-Term    Municipal    National 
Daily Net Assets of the    Municipal    Insured    Municipal 
Three Combined Funds1    Fund    Fund    Fund 

 
 
 
Not exceeding $250 million    0.400%    0.400%    0.500% 
In excess of $250 million but             
 not exceeding $400 million    0.375%    0.375%    0.475% 
In excess of $400 million but             
 not exceeding $550 million    0.350%    0.375%    0.475% 
In excess of $550 million but             
not exceeding $1.5 billion    0.325%    0.375%    0.475% 
In excess of $1.5 billion    0.325%    0.350%    0.475% 

 
 
 

  1 The portion of the assets of a Fund to which the rate of each breakpoint level
applies will be determined on a “uniform percentage” basis. The uniform percent-
age applicable to a breakpoint level is determined by dividing the amount of the
aggregate average daily net assets of the three combined Funds that falls within
that breakpoint level by the aggregate average daily net assets of the three com-
bined Funds. The amount of the fee for a Fund at each breakpoint level is deter-
mined by multiplying the average daily net assets of that Fund by the uniform
percentage applicable to that breakpoint level and multiplying the product by the
advisory fee rate.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

For the BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund, the Advisor has voluntarily
agreed to waive fees or expenses in order to limit expenses as follows:
0.35% for Institutional Shares, 0.60% for Investor A Shares, 0.45%
for Investor A1 Shares, 0.70% for Investor B Shares and 1.35% for
Investor C Shares. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Advisor
waived $389,720 which is included in fees waived by Advisor on the
Statements of Operations.

The BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund’s rates are as follows: 0.55%
of the Fund’s average daily net assets not exceeding $250 million;
0.525% of average daily net assets in excess of $250 million but not
exceeding $500 million; and 0.50% of average daily net assets in
excess of $500 million. In addition, for the BlackRock High Yield
Municipal Fund, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion
of the investment advisory fee. The amount of the waiver is determined
monthly and can be discontinued at any time. For the year ended
June 30, 2008, the Advisor waived $18,171 which is included in fees
waived by Advisor on the Statements of Operations.

The Advisor has agreed to waive its advisory fee for each Fund by the
amount of investment advisory fee each Fund pays to the Advisor indi-
rectly through each Fund’s investment in the Merrill Lynch Institutional
Tax-Exempt Fund. This amount is shown on the Statements of Operations
as fees waived by Advisor. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the
amounts were as follows:

BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund    $ 23,686 
BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund    $ 28,703 
BlackRock National Municipal Fund    $139,140 
BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund    $ 5,643 

 

The Advisor has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with
BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, (“BIM”), an affiliate of the
Advisor, under which the Advisor pays the for services it provides, a
monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid
by the Funds to the Advisor.

For the year ended June 30, 2008, each Fund reimbursed the Advisor for
certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services in
the Statements of Operations. The reimbursements were as follows:

BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund    $ 4,654 
BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund    $ 14,292 
BlackRock National Municipal Fund    $ 28,054 
BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund    $ 1,318 

 

The Funds have entered into separate Distribution Agreements and
Distribution Plans with FAM Distributors, Inc. (“FAMD”) and BlackRock
Distributors, Inc. and its affiliates (“BDI”) (collectively, the “Distributor”).
FAMD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc., and BDI
is an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc.

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans adopted by the Bond Fund on
behalf of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act,
each Fund pays the Distributor ongoing service and distribution fees. The
fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the
average daily net assets of the shares as follows:

Pursuant to written agreements, certain affiliates provide the Funds with
sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other adminis-
trative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these
services, these affiliates receive an annual fee per shareholder account,
which will vary depending on share class. For the year ended June 30,
2008, the Funds paid the following amounts in return for these services:

BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund    $103,020 
BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund    $184,108 
BlackRock National Municipal Fund    $559,905 
BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund    $8,656 

 

PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., formerly PFPC Inc., an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Advisor,
is the Funds’ transfer agent. Each class of the Funds bear the costs of
transfer agent fees associated with such respective classes. Transfer
agency fees borne by each class of the Funds are comprised of those
fees charged for all shareholder communications including mailing of
shareholder reports, dividend and distribution notices, and proxy materi-
als for shareholders meetings, as well as per account and per transaction
fees related to servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts,
including the issuing, redeeming and transferring of shares of each class
of the Funds, 12b-1 fee calculation, check writing, anti-money launder-
ing services, and customer identification services.

The Advisor maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing
certain shareholder services to the Bond Fund, such as responding to
shareholder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instruc-
tions from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption
of fund shares. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the following
amounts have been accrued by each Fund to reimburse the Advisor for
costs incurred running the call center, which are a component of the
transfer agent fees in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

4. Short-Term Borrowings:

The Bond Fund, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds
managed by the Advisor and its affiliates is a party to a $500,000,000
credit agreement with a group of lenders. The Funds may borrow under
the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions and for other law-
ful purposes other than for leverage. The Funds may borrow up to the
maximum amount allowable under the Funds’ current Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information, subject to various other legal,regu-
latory or contractual limits. On November 21, 2007 the credit agreement
was renewed for one year under substantially the same terms. The Funds
pay a commitment fee of 0.06% per annum based on the Funds’ pro
rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement, which is
included in miscellaneous in the Statements of Operations. Amounts
borrowed under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at
each fund's election, the federal funds rate plus 0.35% or a base rate
as defined in the credit agreement. The Funds did not borrow under the
credit agreement during the year ended June 30, 2008.

5. Income Tax Information:

Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America require that certain components of net assets
be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and
tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or
net asset values per share.

BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect
permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. Accordingly,
during the current year, $119,413 has been reclassified between paid-in
capital in excess of par and accumulated net realized loss, and $2,910
has been reclassified between accumulated net realized loss and un-
distributed net investment income as a result of permanent differences
attributable to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards and the
classification of settlement proceeds.

BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund

During the current year, $422,336 has been reclassified between
accumulated net realized capital losses and undistributed net invest-
ment income as a result of permanent differences attributable to
amortization methods on fixed income securities and the reclassification
of distributions.

BlackRock National Municipal Fund

During the current year, $720,529 has been reclassified between undistrib-
uted net investment income and accumulated net realized capital losses
as a result of amortization methods on fixed income securities and the
classification of settlement proceeds.

During the current year, $10,138 has been reclassified between paid-in
capital in excess of par and undistributed net investment income and $12
has been reclassified between undistributed net investment income and
accumulated net realized losses as a result of non-deductible expenses
and the reclassification of distributions.

** The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses is attributa-
ble primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax deferral of losses
on straddles, the deferral of post-October capital losses for tax purposes, the differ-
ence between book and tax treatment of residual interests on tender option bond
trusts, book/tax differences in the accrual of income on securities in default and

* On June 30, 2008, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $258,523, all of
which expires in 2016. This amount will be available to offset future realized
capital gains.
** The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses is attribu-
table primarily to the book/tax differences in the accrual of income on securities
in default, the deferral of post-October capital losses for tax purposes and the
difference between book and tax treatment of residual interests on tender option
bond trusts.

6. Concentration Risk:

Each Fund’s investments are concentrated in certain states, which may be
affected by adverse financial, social, environmental, economic, regulatory
and political factors.

Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which reduces the
risk of loss due to issuer default. The market value of these bonds may
fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value
of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet
its obligation.

70 BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, INC.

JUNE 30, 2008


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BlackRock
Municipal Bond Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of BlackRock Short-Term
Municipal Bond Fund, BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund and BlackRock
National Municipal Fund, three of the portfolios constituting BlackRock
Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Bond Fund”), as of June 30, 2008, and
the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the state-
ments of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period then ended. We have also audited the accompanying statement
of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of
BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund, one of the portfolios constituting
the Bond Fund, as of June 30, 2008, and the related statements of
operations and changes in net assets and financial highlights for the
year ended June 30, 2008 and the period August 1, 2006 through
June 30, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Bond Fund’s 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 assur-
ance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. The Bond Fund is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 express-

ing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bond Fund’s 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 manage-
ment, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30,
2008, 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 represent fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
positions of BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, BlackRock
Municipal Insured Fund, and BlackRock National Municipal Fund, each
a portfolio of BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. as of June 30, 2008,
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 five years in the period then ended, and the
financial position of BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund, one of the
portfolios constituting BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc., as of June
30, 2008, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2008 and the period
August 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

The Board of Directors (the “Board,” the members of which are referred
to as “Directors”) of BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund (“High Yield
Fund”), BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund (“Insured Fund”), BlackRock
National Municipal Fund (“National Fund”) and BlackRock Short-Term
Municipal Fund (“Short-Term Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”) of
BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) met in April
and June 2008 to consider the approval of the Funds’ investment
advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors,
LLC (the “Adviser”), each Fund’s investment adviser. The Board also
considered the approval of each Fund’s subadvisory agreement (the
“Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and BlackRock
Investment Management, LLC (the “Subadviser”). The Adviser and the
Subadviser are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” For simplicity, the
Funds and the Corporation are referred to herein as the “Fund.” The
Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement are referred to
herein as the “Agreements.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

The Board of the Fund consists of fifteen individuals, twelve of whom
are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independ-
ent Directors”). The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the
operations of the Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the
directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent
Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in con-
nection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent
Director. The Board established four standing committees: an Audit
Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance
Committee and a Performance Oversight Committee, each of which is
composed of, and chaired by Independent Directors.

The Agreements

Upon the consummation of the combination of BlackRock’s investment
management business with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment man-
agement business, including Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L. ., and
certain affiliates (the “Transaction”), the Fund entered into the Advisory
Agreement with an initial two-year term and the Adviser entered into the
Subadvisory Agreement with the Subadviser with an initial two-year term.
Consistent with the 1940 Act, prior to the expiration of the Agreements’
respective initial two-year term, the Board is required to consider the
continuation of the Fund’s Agreements on an annual basis. In connec-
tion with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the
nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the
personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment manage-
ment, administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of fund

accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting
legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also received and assessed
information regarding the services provided to the Fund by certain
unaffiliated service providers.

Throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and through its commit-
tees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its
annual consideration of the renewal of the Fund’s Agreements, including
the services and support provided to the Fund and its shareholders.
Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment perform-
ance for one, three and five years, as applicable, against peer funds,
as well as senior management and portfolio managers’ analysis of the
reasons for underperformance, if applicable; (b) fees, including advisory,
administration, if applicable, and other fees paid to BlackRock and its
affiliates by the Fund, such as transfer agency fees and fees for market-
ing and distribution; (c) Fund operating expenses; (d) the resources
devoted to and compliance reports relating to the Fund’s investment
objectives, policies and restrictions, (e) the Fund’s compliance with its
Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature,
cost and character of non-investment management services provided by
BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’
internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting
guidelines approved by the Board; (i) execution quality; (j) valuation and
liquidity procedures; and (k) periodic overview of BlackRock’s business,
including BlackRock’s response to the increasing scale of its business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: At an in-person meeting held on April 10, 2008,
the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agree-
ments. At an in-person meeting held on June 5 – 6, 2008, the Fund’s
Board, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the
continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the
Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2009 and the Subadvisory
Agreement between the Adviser and the Subadviser for a one-year term
ending June 30, 2009. In considering the approval of the Agreements,
the Board received and discussed various materials provided to it in
advance of the April 10, 2008 meeting. As a result of the discussions
that occurred during the April 10, 2008 meeting, the Board requested
and BlackRock provided additional information, as detailed below,
in advance of the June 5 – 6, 2008 Board meeting. The Board consid-
ered all factors it believed relevant with respect to the Fund, including,
among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services
provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Fund
and BlackRock portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the
cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and certain
affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; (d) economies of scale;
and (e) other factors.

72 BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, INC.

JUNE 30, 2008


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

Prior to the April 10, 2008 meeting, the Board requested and received
materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in
an ongoing process with BlackRock to continuously review the nature
and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations.
These materials included (a) information independently compiled and
prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the
investment performance of the Fund as compared with a peer group of
funds as determined by Lipper (“Peers”); (b) information on the prof-
itability of the Agreements to BlackRock and certain affiliates, including
their other relationships with the Fund, and a discussion of fall-out bene-
fits; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment
advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional and closed-
end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the perform-
ance of such other clients; (d) a report on economies of scale; (e) sales
and redemption data regarding the Fund’s shares; and (f) an internal
comparison of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable. At
the April 10, 2008 meeting, the Board requested and subsequently
received from BlackRock (i) a comprehensive analysis of total expenses
on a fund-by-fund basis; (ii) further analysis of investment performance;
(iii) further data regarding Fund profitability, Fund size and Fund fee levels;
and (iv) additional information on sales and redemptions.

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the
approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates
relating to the distribution of Fund shares, services related to the valua-
tion and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings and direct and indirect
benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the
Fund. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling,
and each Director may have attributed different weights to the various
items considered.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: The Board, including the
Independent Directors, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of servic-
es provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services
and the resulting performance of the Fund. Throughout the year, the
Board compared Fund performance — both including and excluding
the effects of the Fund’s fees and expenses — to the performance of a
comparable group of mutual funds as classified by Lipper and the per-
formance of at least one relevant index or combination of indices. The
Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible
for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The
Board also reviewed the materials provided by the Fund’s portfolio man-
agement team discussing Fund performance and the Fund’s investment
objectives, strategies and outlook.

The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and
experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and the Fund’s
portfolio management team, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities,
BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance
and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers
and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board
also reviewed BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the
Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract
and retain high-quality talent.

In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the
administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the
Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Fund with certain adminis-
trative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addition to
any such services provided to the Fund by third parties) and officers
and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Fund.
In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates
provide the Fund with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure
documents, such as the prospectus, the statement of additional infor-
mation and shareholder reports; (ii) assisting with daily accounting and
pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service
providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials
for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support;
and (vi) performing other administrative functions necessary for the
operation of the Fund, such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory
filing requirements. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of
BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance
departments.

B. The Investment Performance of the Fund and BlackRock: The Board,
including the Independent Directors, also reviewed and considered the
performance history of the Fund. In preparation for the April 10, 2008
meeting, the Board was provided with reports, independently prepared
by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the Fund’s per-
formance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis
of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed
various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review,
the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment
performance of the Fund as compared to a representative group of
similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in the Fund’s
applicable Lipper category. The Board was provided with a description
of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Board regu-
larly reviews the performance of the Fund throughout the year. The Board
attaches more importance to performance over relatively long periods of
time, typically three to five years.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

The Board considered BlackRock’s planned changes in the organization
of its fixed-income management.

Each of the National Fund and the Insured Fund ranked in the third, first
and first quartiles on a net basis against its Lipper peer universe for the
one, three and five-year periods ended December 31, 2007. The Board
noted that the Funds’ investment performance for the one-year period
was disappointing, but that longer-term performance met the Board’s
expectations. The Board typically gives greater weight to longer-term
results. The Board discussed the Fund’s management process and
resources with BlackRock’s senior management and will continue to
monitor the Fund’s performance. There was a discussion of the negative
impact on performance of investment decisions in respect of duration,
specific sectors and securities. The Short-Term Fund ranked in the sec-
ond, third and third quartiles on a net basis against its Lipper peer uni-
verse for the one, three and five-year periods ended December 31,
2007. In considering the Advisory Agreement, the Board expressed con-
cern with Short-Term Fund’s three- and five-year performance, but noted
that the three-year results were only one basis point below median and
that more recent investment results have been encouraging. There was
a discussion of the negative impact on performance of investment
decisions in respect of duration, yield curve positioning and cash posi-
tion. The BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund had only one full year of
performance data for the period ending December 31, 2007, but was
in the fourth quartile on a net basis against its Lipper peer universe for
the period. The Board expressed disappointment with the Fund’s fourth
quartile performance. The Board discussed the processes and resources
devoted to the management of the Fund with BlackRock’s senior man-
agement and will continue to monitor the Fund’s performance. There was
a discussion of the market conditions that resulted in the Fund’s poor
performance.

C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services
and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from the
Relationship with the Fund: The Board, including the Independent
Directors, reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates compared
with the other funds in its Lipper category. It also compared the Fund’s
total expenses to those of other comparable funds. The Board consid-
ered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other
types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately
managed institutional accounts.

The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s
financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it
provided the Fund. The Board was also provided with a profitability
analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred
by BlackRock and certain affiliates that provide services to the Fund.
The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the

Fund and each fund the Board currently oversees for the year ended
December 31, 2007 compared to aggregated profitability data provided
for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to
the Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating
to the management and distribution of the Fund and the other funds
advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board
reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the manage-
ment of the Fund and concluded that there was a reasonable basis for
the allocation. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the
financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality invest-
ment management personnel to perform its obligations under the
Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services
that are expected by the Board.

The Board also took into account that the Funds have an advisory fee
arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate down-
ward as the size of each Fund increases, thereby allowing shareholders
the potential to participate in economies of scale.

The Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fee structure was
reasonable and that it would continue to review fees in connection
with future renewals of the Agreements, including whether the implemen-
tation of additional breakpoints would be appropriate in the future due
to an increase in asset size or otherwise. The Board further noted that
BlackRock has agreed to voluntarily cap the total annual operating
expenses of one or more share classes of each of Short-Term Fund
and High Yield Fund, at certain levels. The Board observed that those
expense caps benefited shareholders by keeping total fees down even in
the absence of breakpoints.

D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Directors,
considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as
the assets of the Fund increase and whether there should be changes
in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to
participate in these economies of scale. The Board, including the
Independent Directors, considered whether the shareholders would
benefit from economies of scale and whether there was potential for
future realization of economies with respect to the Fund. The Board
considered that the funds in the BlackRock fund complex share common
resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex
could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise
as stand-alone entities. The Board also considered the anticipated
efficiencies in the processes of BlackRock’s overall operations as it
continues to add personnel and commit capital to expand the scale
of operations. The Board found, based on its review of comparable
funds, that the Fund’s management fee is appropriate in light of the
scale of the Fund.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (concluded)

E. Other Factors: The Board also took into account other ancillary or
“fall-out” benefits that BlackRock may derive from its relationship with
the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to
leverage its investment professionals that manage other portfolios, an
increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community,
and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to
the Fund, including for administrative, transfer agency and distribution
services. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use third party
research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund
transactions to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other
client accounts.

In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Board
also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and trade
execution practices throughout the year.

Conclusion

The Board approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between
the Adviser and the Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2009 and
the Subadvisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Subadviser for
a one-year term ending June 30, 2009. Based upon their evaluation of
all these factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent
Directors, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and
reasonable and in the best interest of the Fund and the Fund’s share-
holders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, the Board
did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or
controlling, but considered all factors together. The Independent
Directors were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel
in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for the
Fund reflect the result of several years of review by the Directors and
predecessor Directors, and discussions between the Directors (and pred-
ecessor Directors) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements
may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and
the Directors’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of
these arrangements in prior years.

Additional Information

Swap Agreements

BlackRock Municipal Insured Fund, BlackRock National Municipal Fund
and BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund of BlackRock Municipal Bond
Fund, Inc. may invest in swap agreements, which are over-the-counter
contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based
on the change in market value of a specified bond, basket of bonds or
index in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable inter-
est rate or the change in market value of a different bond, basket of

bonds or index. Swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a
bond or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities.
Swap agreements involve the risk that the party with whom each Fund
has entered into a swap will default on its obligation to pay the Fund

the other party to the agreement. The Swap agreements in which the
Funds may invest includes credit default swap agreements.

financial statements not included in Audit Fees.
2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and
procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax
compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-
approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services
provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated
service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the


registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent
with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will
not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the
Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).
The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless
the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to
the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the
registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not
exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the
Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if
they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific
pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-
approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each
service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person
board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee
for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to
approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit
services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

(e)(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) Affiliates’ Aggregate Non-Audit Fees:

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of
non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including
any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s 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 6 – Investments

Item 8 – Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies – Not Applicable

Item 9 – Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and
Affiliated Purchasers – Not Applicable

Item 10 – Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders – The registrant’s Nominating and
Governance Committee will consider nominees to the board of directors recommended by
shareholders when a vacancy becomes available. Shareholders who wish to recommend a
nominee should send nominations that include biographical information and set forth the
qualifications of the proposed nominee to the registrant’s Secretary. There have been no
material changes to these procedures.

Item 11 – Controls and Procedures

11(a) – The registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing
similar functions have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“1940 Act”)) are effective as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report based on the
evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act
and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

11(b) – There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the second fiscal quarter
of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
