SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

It has been a tumultuous period for investors, marked by almost daily headlines related to the housing market turmoil, volatile energy prices, and the

escalating credit crisis. The news took an extraordinarily heavy tone in September as the credit crisis boiled over and triggered unprecedented failures

and consolidation in the financial sector, stoking fears of a market and economic collapse and prompting the largest government rescue plan since

the Great Depression.

Through it all, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) has taken decisive action to restore liquidity and bolster financial market stability. Key moves

included slashing the target federal funds rate 275 basis points (2.75%) between October 2007 and April 2008 and providing massive cash injections

and lending programs. As the credit crisis took an extreme turn for the worse, the Fed, in concert with five other global central banks, cut interest rates

by 50 basis points in early October in a rare move intended to stave off worldwide economic damage from the intensifying financial market turmoil.

The U.S. economy managed to grow at a slow-but-positive pace through the second quarter of the year, though recent events almost certainly portend

a global economic recession.

Against this backdrop, U.S. stocks experienced intense volatility and generally posted losses for the current reporting period, with small-cap stocks

faring noticeably better than their larger counterparts. Non-U.S. markets followed the U.S. on the way down and, notably, decelerated at a faster pace

than domestic equities — a stark reversal of recent years’ trends, when international stocks generally outpaced U.S. stocks.

Treasury securities also traded in a volatile fashion, but rallied overall (yields fell and prices correspondingly rose) amid an ongoing flight to quality.

The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which fell to 3.34% in March, climbed 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 declined again to 3.85% by period-end as

the financial market contagion widened. Tax-exempt issues underperformed overall, as problems among municipal bond insurers and the collapse in

the market for auction rate securities pressured the group throughout the course of the past year. At the same time, the above mentioned economic

headwinds and malfunctioning credit markets led to considerable weakness in the high yield sector.

Facing unprecedented volatility and macro pressures, the major benchmark indexes generally recorded losses over the six- and 12-month

reporting periods:

Fund Summary

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
_{•The Fund’s returns lagged that of the benchmark Barclays Capital U.S.}
Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index for the 12-month period.

What factors influenced performance?
_{•Throughout the year, the high yield market was plagued by a combina-}
tion of a persistent and worsening credit crunch and the overwhelmingly
weak economic conditions affecting the U.S. consumer, including the
housing crisis, inflationary pressures, equity market volatility and rising
unemployment. The unprecedented failures and consolidation with the
financial sector only added further pressure, with the final three months
of the year marking one of the worst periods in history for the high yield
market, and September marking the worst-ever monthly return for the
asset class.

_{•In this environment, the Fund’s underweight to BB-rated securities}
detracted as higher-quality non-investment grade issues outperformed
their lower-grade counterparts. Exposure to the wireless sector also
hampered performance for the year, as did a lack of liquidity for
select securities.

_{•On the positive side, the Fund’s allocations to floating rate bank}
loan securities and cash benefited performance, as these sectors
outperformed the traditional high yield market over the annual
period. Security selection within B-rated and CCC-rated credits also
proved advantageous.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
_{•During the 12 months, we became more cautious on the high yield mar-}
ket and the economy in general, a view that led us to allocate assets to
more defensive sectors. We continued to underweight BB-rated issues,
preferring to allocate a substantial portion of the portfolio towards float-
ing-rate bank loans. While these securities have suffered over the year,
we believe bank loans currently offer tremendous value and are some-
what less vulnerable to the economic slowdown in comparison to many
issuers of high yield. We also reduced the Fund’s high yield exposure over
the period and built a sizeable cash position, which would allow us to
take advantage of quality credits that had depreciated with the market.

Describe Fund positioning at period-end.
_{•At period-end, the Fund held underweight positions relative to the}
benchmark in BB-rated and B-rated issues, and a small overweight in
CCC-rated issues. On a sector basis, the Fund was overweight in the
independent energy, wireless and metals sectors, while it was under-
weight in technology, home construction and pipelines.

_{•Although high yield default rates continue to steadily increase and}
liquidity remains challenged, overall risk is somewhat balanced by
the decent fundamental condition of many high yield issuers. Looking
ahead, while overall volatility is expected to continue, we believe the
Fund is well positioned to mitigate these risks and perform competitively.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions.
These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

⁵ For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class (0.75% for Institutional, 0.96% for Investor A, 1.53% for Investor B, 2.31% for
Investor C and 1.60% for Investor C1, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period shown).
⁶ Hypothetical 5% annual return before expenses is calculated by pro-rating the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by 366.
See “Disclosure of Expenses” on page 6 for further information on how expenses were calculated.

About Fund Performance

_{•Institutional Shares are not subject to any sales charge. Institutional}
Shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available
only to eligible investors.

_{•Investor A Shares incur a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load)}
of 4% and a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee).

_{•Investor B Shares are subject to a maximum contingent deferred sales}
charge of 4% declining to 0% after six years. In addition, Investor B
Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.50% per year and a service
fee of 0.25% per year. These shares automatically convert to Investor A
Shares after approximately 10 years. (There is no initial sales charge for
automatic share conversions.)

_{•Investor C Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year}
and a service fee of 0.25% per year. In addition, Investor C Shares are
subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within
one year of purchase. Prior to October 2, 2006, Investor C Share
performance results are those of Institutional Shares (which have no
distribution or service fees) restated to reflect Investor C Share fees.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of this Fund 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 example on page 5 (which is based on a hypothetical investment
of $1,000 invested on April 1, 2008 and held through September 30,
2008) is intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses
based on an investment in the Fund and in comparing these expenses
with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The table provides 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.”

_{•Investor C1 Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.55% per year}
and a service fee of 0.25% per year. In addition, Investor C1 Shares are
subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within
one year of purchase.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guar-
antee 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 share-
holder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
The Fund may charge a 2% redemption fee for sales or exchanges of
shares within 30 days of purchase or exchange. Performance data does
not reflect this potential fee. Figures shown in the performance tables
on page 5 assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distri-
butions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. 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, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class,
which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 this Fund 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 table 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 hypo-
thetical example is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will
not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning
different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder
expenses would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock High Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Bond
Fund, Inc. (the “Bond Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The 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 management
accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold
without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A
Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Investor B, Investor C
and Investor C1 Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales
charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation
and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Investor
A, Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares bear certain expenses
related to the shareholder 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 distribu-
tion expenditures (except that Investor B shareholders may vote on
certain changes to the Investor A distribution plan).

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

Valuation of Investments: The Fund values its bond investments on the
basis of last available bid price or current market quotations provided
by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of the
Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Floating rate loan interests
are valued at the mean between the last available bid prices from
one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. 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 transactions in compa-
rable investments, various relationships observed in the market between
investments, and calculated yield measures based on valuation techno-
logy commonly employed in the market for such investments. Swap
agreements are valued by quoted fair values received daily by the
Fund’s pricing service. Short-term securities are valued at amortized
cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net
asset value each business day.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the
NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price
that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity
investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale
price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity
investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no

sales on that day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price
is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined
that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid
and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options
trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is
valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If
no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless
it is determined that the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value
of the option. Over-the-counter options are valued by an independent
pricing service using a mathematical model which incorporates a
number of market data factors.

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 invest-
ment advisor and/or sub-advisor 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
subadvisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subse-
quently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each
day at various times prior to the close of business on the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in comput-
ing the net assets of the Fund are determined as of such times. Foreign
currency exchange rates will be determined as of the close of business
on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities
and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they
are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not
be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net assets. If events
(for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural
disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially
affect the value of such securities, those securities will be valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the
investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved
by the Board.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Fund may engage in various
portfolio investment strategies to increase the return of the Fund
and to hedge, or protect its exposure to interest rate movements and
movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of
the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of
the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under
the contract.

20 BLACKROCK HIGH INCOME FUND

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

_{•Credit default swaps — The Fund may invest in credit default swaps,}
which are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic pay-
ments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the
counterparty to make a specific payment should a negative credit
event take place. These periodic payments received or made by the
Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations
as realized gains and losses, respectively. Gains and losses are
also realized upon termination of the swap agreements. Swaps are
marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as un-
realized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated,
the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction
and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Risks arise from the
possible inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-
performance by the other party to the swap.

_{•Foreign currency exchange contracts — The Fund may enter into for-}
eign currency exchange contracts as a hedge against either specific
transactions or portfolio positions. Foreign currency exchange con-
tracts, when used by the Fund, help to manage the overall exposure
to the foreign currency backing some of the investments held by the
Fund. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in mar-
ket value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When
the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal
to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and
the value at the time it was closed.

_{•Options — The Fund may purchase and write call and put options.}
When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium
received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent lia-
bility. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to
reflect the current market value of the option written. When a security
is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related
premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis
of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds
of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Fund enters into
a closing transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option
to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the
extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium
received or paid).

A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the
obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is
exercised), the underlying position at the exercise price at any time
or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the
holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying
position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time dur-
ing the option period.

Capital Trusts: These securities are typically issued by corporations,
generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities
characteristics, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, gener-
ally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or
similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either
fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual
or stated maturity date. Dividends can be deferred without creating an
event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place
unless all cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral
of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in
the open market. Payments on these securities are treated as interest
rather than dividends for Federal income tax purposes. These securities
can have a rating that is slightly below that of the issuing company’s
senior debt securities.

Floating Rate Loans: The Fund invests in floating rate loans, which are
generally non-investment grade, made by banks, other financial institu-
tions and privately and publicly offered corporations. Floating rate loans
generally pay interest at rates that are periodically predetermined by
reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending
rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more European
banks, such as LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate), (ii) the prime
rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or (iii) the certificate of deposit
rate. The Fund considers these investments to be investments in debt
securities for purposes of its investment policies.

The Fund earns and/or pays facility and other fees on floating rate
loans. Other fees earned/paid include commitment, amendment, con-
sent, commissions and prepayment penalty fees. Facility, amendment
and consent fees are typically amortized as premium and/or accreted
as discount over the term of the loan. Commitment, commission and
various other fees are recorded as income or expense. Prepayment
penalty fees are recognized on the accrual basis. When the Fund buys a
floating rate loan it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating
rate loan it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may
receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underly-
ing line of credit portion of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances,
a Fund may receive a prepayment penalty fee upon the prepayment of a
floating rate loan by a borrower. Other fees received by the Fund may
include covenant waiver fees and covenant modification fees.

The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A
different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different
associated risks.

Floating rate loans are usually freely callable at the issuer’s option.
The Fund may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans
(“Participations”) and assignments of all or a portion of loans from third
parties. Participations typically will result in the Fund having a contractual
relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Fund will

BLACKROCK HIGH INCOME FUND

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

21

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to
which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only
upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower.

In connection with purchasing Participations, the Fund generally will have
no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the
loan agreement relating to the loans, nor any rights of offset against the
borrower, and a Fund may not benefit directly from any collateral sup-
porting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result,
the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender
that is selling the Participation. The Fund’s investments in loan participa-
tion interests involve the risk of insolvency of the financial intermediaries
who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the
lender selling the Participation, the Fund may be treated as a general
creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the
lender and the borrower.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are trans-
lated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of invest-
ment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange;
and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and
expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates
of such transactions.

The Fund reports foreign currency related transactions as components
of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such compo-
nents are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Preferred Stock: The Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stock
has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in
receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the
issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred
stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies
inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market
price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element
of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities
and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality
of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred
stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield
characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred
stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of
directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory
redemption provisions.

Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive posi-
tions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that
the Fund segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g.,
foreign currency exchange contracts and swaps) and certain borrowings,
the Fund 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.

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. Dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the
Fund has determined the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized
on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes all premiums and discounts
on debt securities. 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 Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment com-
panies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be
imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Effective March 31, 2008, the Fund implemented Financial Account-
ing 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 threshold a
tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in
income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity, includ-
ing investment companies, before being measured and recognized in the
financial statements. The investment advisor has evaluated the applica-
tion of FIN 48 to the Fund, and has determined that the adoption of FIN
48 does not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
The Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No
income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limita-
tions on the Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns remain open for the years
ended September 30, 2005 through September 30, 2007. The statutes
of limitations on the Fund’s 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 Fund’s financial statement disclo-
sures, if any, is currently being assessed.

22 BLACKROCK HIGH INCOME FUND

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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. FAS
161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments
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 opera-
tions and financial position. In September 2008, FASB Staff Position
No. 133-1 and FASB Interpretation No. 45-4 (the “FSP”), “Disclosures
about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and
Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” was
issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after
November 15, 2008. The FSP amends FASB Statement No. 133,
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to require
disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives
embedded in hybrid instruments. The FSP also clarifies the effective date
of FAS 161, whereby disclosures required by FAS 161 are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods begin-
ning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Fund’s financial
statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged
to that Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds
are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or
other appropriate methods. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated
daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions
with Affiliates:

The Bond Fund, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an Investment
Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. to provide invest-
ment 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 the Fund’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of the Fund. For such serv-
ices, the Fund pays a monthly fee with respect to the Fund based upon
the aggregate average daily value of the net assets of the Fund and
Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC (“Master LLC”) at the
following annual rates: 0.55% of the Bond Fund's average daily net
assets not exceeding $250 million; 0.50% of average daily net assets
in excess of $250 million but not exceeding $500 million; 0.45% of
average daily net assets in excess of $500 million but not exceeding
$750 million; and 0.40% of average daily net assets in excess of $750

million. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the aggregate average
daily net assets of the Fund and Master LLC was approximately
$5,047,454,000.

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

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund reimbursed the
Advisor $21,371 for certain accounting services, which is included in
accounting services in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund has also 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 Fund in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the 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:

	Service	Distribution
	Fee	Fee
Investor A	0.25%	—
Investor B	0.25%	0.50%
Investor C	0.25%	0.75%
Investor C1	0.25%	0.55%

Pursuant to sub-agreements with the Distributor, broker-dealers, including
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, and the Distributor provide shareholder
servicing and distribution services to the Fund. The ongoing service
and/or distribution fee compensates the Distributor and each broker-
dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution-related
services to Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 shareholders.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the affiliates earned under-
writing discounts and direct commissions on sales of the Fund’s
Investor A Shares, which totaled $363,104 and affiliates received
contingent deferred sales charges of $74,983, $44,897 and $6,135
relating to transactions in Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares,
respectively. These amounts include payments to Hilliard Lyons, which
was considered an affiliate for a portion of the year. Furthermore,
affiliates received contingent deferred sales charges of $1,859
relating to transactions subject to front-end sales charge waivers on
Investor A Shares.

BLACKROCK HIGH INCOME FUND

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Pursuant to written agreements, certain affiliates provide the Fund 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 September
30, 2008, the Fund paid $2,704,275 in return for these services, which
are a component of the transfer agent fees in the accompanying
Statement of Operations.

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 Fund’s transfer agent. Each class of the Fund bears the costs of
transfer agent fees associated with such respective classes. Transfer
agency fees borne by each class of the Fund 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 transac-
tion fees related to servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts,
including the issuing, redeeming and transferring of shares of each class
of the Fund, 12b-1 fee calculation, check writing, anti-money laundering
services, and customer identification services.

The Fund may earn income on positive cash balances in demand
deposit accounts that are maintained by the transfer agent on behalf of
the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund earned
$8,631, which is included in income from affiliates in the Statement
of Operations.

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

	Call Center
	Fees
Institutional	$10,683
Investor A	$17,409
Investor B	$ 4,185
Investor C	$ 2,401
Investor C1	$ 5,509

Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may
be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances
(“custody credits”), which are shown on the Statement of Operations
as fees paid indirectly.

Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers and/or directors
of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses the Advisor for
compensation paid to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer.

4. Commitments:

The Fund may invest in floating rate loans. In connection with these
investments, the Fund may, with its Advisor, also enter into unfunded
corporate loans (“commitments”). Commitments may obligate the Fund
to furnish temporary financing to a borrower until permanent financing
can be arranged.

In connection with these commitments, the Fund earns a commitment
fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such
fee income, which is classified in the Statement of Operations as
facility and other fees, is recognized ratably over the commitment
period. As of September 30, 2008, the Fund had the following
unfunded loan commitment:

		Value of
	Unfunded	Underlying
	Commitment	Loan
Borrower	(000)	(000)
Bausch & Lomb, Inc	$220	$203
5. Short-Term Borrowings:

The Fund, 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, which expires November 2008 and was subsequently
renewed. The Fund may borrow under the credit agreement to fund
shareholder redemptions and for other lawful purposes other than for
leverage. The Fund may borrow up to the maximum amount allowable
under the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information, subject to various other legal, regulatory or contractual

limits. The Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.06% per annum based on
the Fund’s pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement,
which is included in miscellaneous in the Statement of Operations.
Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate
equal to, at the Fund’s election, the federal funds rate plus 0.35% or a
base rate as defined in the credit agreement. The Fund did not borrow
under the credit agreement during the year ended September 30, 2008.

6. 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 permanet differences between financial and tax
reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or on
net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of
September 30, 2008 attributable to amortization methods on fixed
income securities, expiration of capital loss carryforwards, swap agree-
ments, the classification of investments and foreign currency transac-
tions were reclassified to the following accounts:

Decrease paid-in capital	$(60,400,417)
Decrease undistributed net investment income	$ (679,463)
Increase accumulated net realized loss	$ 61,079,880

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was as follows:

	9/30/2008	9/30/2007
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$102,065,914	$103,310,402
Total taxable distributions	$102,065,914	$103,310,402

As of September 30, 2008, the components of accumulated losses on
a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary net income	$ 17,306,764
Capital loss carryforward	(1,879,229,680)
Net unrealized losses	(351,922,902)*
Total accumulated net losses	$(2,213,845,818)

* The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses is attribu-
table primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax
purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain foreign currency contracts, the
deferral of post-October capital losses for tax purposes, the difference between
book and tax amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed income
securities, book/tax differences in the accrual of income on securities in default,
the accounting for swap agreements, other book/tax temporary differences and
the timing of income recognition on partnership interests.

As of September 30, 2008, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward
available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated
expirations dates:

Expires September 30,
2009	$ 387,766,347
2010	187,386,138
2011	684,131,730
2012	458,613,508
2013	8,631,903
2014	59,615,799

There is a 2% redemption fee on shares redeemed or exchanged that have been held for 30 days or less. The redemption fees are collected and
retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fees are recorded as a credit to paid-in capital.

8. Subsequent Events:

On September 15, 2008, Bank of America Corporation announced that it has agreed to acquire Merrill Lynch, one of the principal owners of
BlackRock, Inc. The purchase has been approved by the directors of both companies. Subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, the
transaction is expected to close on or before December 31, 2008.

Effective October 1, 2008, BlackRock Investments, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, replaced FAM Distributors, Inc. and BlackRock Distributors,
Inc. as the sole distributor of the Fund. The service and distribution fees will not change as a result of this transaction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of BlackRock High Income Fund,
one of the portfolios constituting BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”),
as of September 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial state-
ments and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s man-
agement. 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 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 expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over finan-

cial 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 management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of September 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of BlackRock High Income Fund of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. as of
September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its 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, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

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 Income Fund (the “Portfolio”) of
BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) met in April and June 2008 to
consider the approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the
“Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), the
Fund’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval of
the subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) between the
Advisor and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the “Subadvisor”).
The Advisor and the Subadvisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.”
For simplicity, the Portfolio and the Fund 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 Advisor entered into the
Subadvisory Agreement with the Subadvisor 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
objective, 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
Agreements. 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
Advisor and the Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2009 and the
Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and BlackRock Financial
Management, Inc. for a one-year term ending June 30, 2009. In consid-
ering the approval of the Agreements, the Board received and discussed
various materials provided to it in advance of the April 10, 2008 meet-
ing. 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 considered 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 invest-
ment performance of the Fund and BlackRock portfolio management;
(c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be real-
ized by BlackRock and certain affiliates from the relationship with the
Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors.

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.

BLACKROCK HIGH INCOME FUND

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

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 bene-
fits 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 serv-
ices provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services
and the resulting performance of the Fund. Throughout the year, the
Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable
group of mutual funds as classified by Lipper and the performance 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 management
team discussing Fund performance and the Fund’s investment objective,
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 addi-
tion to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide
the Fund with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure docu-
ments, such as the prospectus, the statement of additional information
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 require-
ments. 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 vari-
ous 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
regularly 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.

The Board noted with favor that BlackRock had generally avoided signifi-
cant credit quality and liquidity issues in the challenging fixed-income
market that prevailed during the last 18 months. The Fund ranked in the
third, second and first quartiles on a net basis against its Lipper peer
universe for the one, three and five year periods ended December 31,
2007, respectively. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment perform-
ance for the one year period was disappointing, but that longer-term
performance meets the Board’s expectations. The Board typically gives
greater weight to longer-term results. The Board considered BlackRock’s
planned changes in its fixed-income organization.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (concluded)

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 provid-
ed 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 Fund has an advisory fee
arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate down-
ward as the size of the Fund increases, thereby allowing shareholders
the potential to participate in economies of scale.

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 partici-
pate 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.

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 serv-
ices. 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 execu-
tion practices throughout the year.

Conclusion

The Board approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between
the Advisor and the Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2009
and the Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and BlackRock
Financial Management, Inc. 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 shareholders. 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 predecessor 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.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer
and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. During the period covered by
this report, there have been no amendments to or waivers granted under the code of ethics. A copy of the
code of ethics is available without charge at www.blackrock.com.

Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors or trustees, as applicable (the
“board of directors”) has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial
experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is independent:
Ronald W. Forbes (term ended, effective November 1, 2007)
Robert M. Hernandez (term began, effective November 1, 2007)
Fred G. Weiss (term began, effective November 1, 2007)
Richard R. West

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be
deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.
The designation or identification as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person
any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such
person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or
identification.

1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of 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:
	Current Fiscal Year	Previous Fiscal Year
Entity Name	End	End
BlackRock High Income Fund	$294,649	$291,642
of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc.

(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
