2 BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. 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?
For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s total return
(through its investment in Master Total Return Portfolio) lagged that
of the benchmark Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index.

What factors influenced performance?
The Portfolio’s overweight to high-quality spread sectors — including
agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (both fixed
and adjustable-rate), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS)
and asset-backed securities (ABS) — was the primary detractor from
comparative performance. Throughout the period, continued write-
downs and forced de-leveraging at institutions and hedge funds pushed
spreads on these sectors sharply wider, regardless of quality. An under-
weight in U.S. Treasury securities further hampered returns, as uncertain-
ties over the outlook for financial markets and the broader economy
prompted a massive investor flight to quality, and these issues outper-
formed. Additionally, an overweight to the financial subsector of the
credit markets detracted from Fund performance, as the sector lagged
duration-adjusted Treasury securities by 14.35% .

In contrast, the Portfolio’s underweight to agencies benefited relative
results. Our bias for a steepening yield curve also paid off as the spread
between two-year and 10-year Treasury securities increased by over 120
basis points (1.20%) . Additionally, security selection in CMBS and ABS
proved advantageous, as did our decision to hold minimal exposure to
“plus sectors,” including emerging market debt and high yield, which
significantly underperformed over the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
Over the 12 months, we modestly increased our exposure to agency
debentures, but maintained an overall underweight given opportunities
in other spread sectors. We also increased exposure to non-agency
ARMs, as we believe these assets represent outstanding long-term value
from a fundamental perspective relative to other spread sectors. While
we retained an overweight to AAA-rated CMBS, we opportunistically
decreased the Portfolio’s exposure to the sector on recent spread tight-
ening. In light of global economic weakness and diminishing earnings
potential, we also continued to reduce our allocation to corporate debt,
though we maintained an overweight to the financial subsector.

Describe the Portfolio’s positioning at period-end.
The Portfolio ended the period slightly long duration versus the bench-
mark, with a bias toward a steeper yield curve. We have maintained our
underweight to U.S. Treasury and agency debt in favor of high-quality
spread assets, including MBS, CMBS and ABS. Within the ABS sector,
we maintain an up-in-quality bias and are focused on short-dated, fixed-
rate credit card and auto paper from top-tier prime issuers, as well as
selective high-quality home equity bonds. We continue to hold an overall
underweight to investment grade corporates; however, we maintain an
overweight in the financials subsector, favoring higher-quality names of
stronger financial firms, while avoiding exposure to regional banks.

At period-end, we held a small allocation to non-dollar debt issues
(roughly 2% of total assets), namely a long position in European bonds.
We also held a small allocation to the high yield sector (about 1%),
focusing on higher-quality issues.

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.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee
future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the per-
formance 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
the performance tables on page 5 assume reinvestment of all dividends
and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value on the payable
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 share-
holders. The Fund’s Manager waived a portion of its fee. Without such
waiver, the Fund’s performance would have been lower.

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 below (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 below 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
corresponding to their share class under the heading entitled “Expenses
Paid During the Period.”

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.

  1 For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class (0.43% for BlackRock, 0.58% for Institutional, 0.79% for Service, 0.92% for
Investor A, 0.80% for Investor A1, 1.56% for Investor B, 1.27% for Investor B1, 0.84% for Investor B2, 1.48% for Investor C, 1.49% for Investor C1, 1.31% for Investor C2
and 1.11% for Class R), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period shown).
Currently, Investor B2 does not accrue distribution fees (12b-1 fees) due to regulatory fee limits. If, during the period, the distribution fees were accrued, the actual
expense ratio would have been approximately 1.84%; the actual expenses paid would have been approximately $8.84; and the hypothetical expenses paid would
have been approximately $9.27.
2 Hypothetical 5% return before expenses is calculated by pro-rating the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by 366.
See above “Disclosure of Expenses” for further information on how expenses were calculated.

BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements BlackRock Total Return Fund

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Total Return Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of BlackRock
Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Bond Fund”) and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks
to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its assets in Master
Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”), of Master Bond LLC (the
“Master LLC”), which has the same investment objective and strategies
as the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Master Portfolio
reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master
Portfolio. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the per-
formance of the Master Portfolio. The financial statements of the Master
Portfolio, including the Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere
in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial
statements. 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 esti-
mates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The percentage
of the Master Portfolio owned by the Fund at September 30, 2008 was
75.1% . On September 24, 2007, the Fund acquired substantially all of
the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of BlackRock
Total Return Portfolio (“Total Return Portfolio”), a portfolio of BlackRock
Funds II. The Fund is the surviving entity in the Reorganization, however,
Total Return Portfolio is the accounting survivor. As a result, the Fund
assumed the performance and accounting history of Total Return
Portfolio at the closing of the Reorganization. The Fund’s net assets as of
September 24, 2007 of $2,538,462,638, including $6,028,458 of net
unrealized depreciation, were combined with those of the Total Return
Portfolio. The aggregate net assets immediately after the acquisition
amounted to $3,034,201,488. Also on September 24, 2007, all of
the portfolio securities held by the Fund were subsequently contributed
to the Master Portfolio in exchange for an investment in the Master
Portfolio. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. On September 24,
2007, pursuant to the Reorganization, Investor A Shares of the Total
Return Portfolio converted to Service Shares, Investor B Shares of the
Total Return Portfolio converted to Investor B2 Shares, Institutional
Shares of the Total Return Portfolio converted to BlackRock Shares
and Investor C Shares and Class R Shares of Total Return Portfolio
received Investor C Shares and Class R Shares of the Fund, respectively.
Also, effective September 24, 2007, Institutional, Investor A, Investor A1,
Investor B, Investor B1, Investor C1 and Investor C2 Shares commenced
operations. Institutional and Service Shares are sold without a sales
charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A and Investor A1

Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Investor B, Investor B1,
Investor B2, Investor C, Investor C1 and Investor C2 Shares are subject
to a contingent deferred sales charge and also bear certain expenses
related to the distribution of such shares. In addition, Investor A1,
Investor B, Investor B1, Investor B2, Investor C1 and Investor C2 Shares
are sold only to certain eligible investors. Class R Shares commenced
operations on October 2, 2006 and are sold only to certain retirement
plans. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange.

All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and
other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Service,
Investor A, Investor A1, Investor B, Investor B1, Investor B2, Investor C,
Investor C1, Investor C2 and Class R Shares bear certain expenses relat-
ed to the shareholder servicing of such shares and Investor B, Investor
B1, Investor B2, Investor C, Investor C1, Investor C2 and Class R 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, Investor B1 and Investor B2 shareholders may vote on certain
changes to the Investor A and Investor A1 distribution plans as applica-
ble). Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific
class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily
to each class based on its relative net assets.

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

Valuation of investments: The Fund records its investments in the
Master Portfolio at fair value. Valuation of securities held by the Master
Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to
Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Investment Transactions and Net Investment Income: Investment trans-
actions in the Master Portfolio are accounted for on a trade date basis.
The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s
income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. In addi-
tion, the Fund accrues its own expenses. Income and realized and unre-
alized gains and losses on investments are allocated daily to each class
based on its relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net invest-
ment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capi-
tal gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

20 BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. SEPTEMBER 30, 2008


Notes to Financial Statements (continued) BlackRock Total Return Fund

Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s 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 March 31, 2008, the Fund 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 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 did 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 remains 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.

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
beginning 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 or other
appropriate methods.

2. Investment Advisor Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The Bond Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned sub-
sidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide administrative services (other than
investment advice and related portfolio activities). The Bond 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. 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 of the Bond
Fund’s portfolios, including the Fund, and provides the necessary per-
sonnel, facilities and equipment to provide such services to the Bond
Fund. The Advisor also performs certain administrative services neces-
sary for the operation of the Bond Fund. For such services the Advisor
receives, at the end of each month, a fee with respect to the Fund at
the annual rates set forth below which are based upon the aggregate
average daily value of the Bond Fund’s net assets at the following
annual rates: 0.50% of the Bond Fund’s average daily net assets not
exceeding $250 million; 0.45% of the average daily net assets in
excess of $250 million but not exceeding $500 million; 0.40% of aver-
age daily net assets in excess of $500 million but not exceeding $750

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) BlackRock Total Return Fund

  million; and 0.35% of average daily net assets in excess of $750 mil-
lion. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the aggregate average
daily net assets of the Bond Fund, including the Fund and the Bond
Fund’s other series, BlackRock High Income Fund, were approximately
$4,163,791,000. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the
Fund’s investment advisory fee in the amount of the Fund’s share of
the investment advisory fee paid by the Master Portfolio. For the year
ended September 30, 2008, the Advisor earned fees of $10,599,116
of which $1,876,932 were waived. For the year ended September 30,
2008, the Advisor contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees
and/or expenses in order to limit expenses (excluding interest expense
and certain other fund expenses) as a percentage of average daily net
assets allocated to each class of the Fund as follows: 0.40% (for
BlackRock Shares), 0.55% (for Institutional Shares), 0.85% (for Service
Shares), 0.90% (for Investor A Shares), 1.65% (for Investor B2 Shares),
1.65% (for Investor C Shares) and 1.10% (for Class R Shares) until
February 1, 2009. In addition to the contractual waivers described
above, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse
fees or expenses in order to limit expenses (excluding interest expense
and certain other Fund expenses) as a percentage of average daily
net assets allocated to each class of the Fund as follows: 1.53% (for
Investor B2 Shares) 1.45% (for Investor C Shares), 0.76% (for Service
Shares) and 1.08% (for Class R Shares). As a result, the Advisor waived
its fees in the amount of $1,210,224.

The Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock
Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, under
which the Advisor pays BFM a fee that is a percentage of the investment
advisory fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor. There is no increase in the
aggregate fees paid by the Bond Fund for these services.

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans adopted by the Bond 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 

 
 
Service    0.25%     
Investor A    0.25%     
Investor A1    0.10%     
Investor B    0.25%    0.50% 
Investor B1    0.25%    0.25% 
Investor B2    0.25%    0.75% 
Investor C    0.25%    0.75% 
Investor C1    0.25%    0.55% 
Investor C2    0.25%    0.25% 
Class R    0.25%    0.25% 

 
 

Pursuant to sub-agreements with the Distributor, broker-dealers, includ-
ing Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and 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 (including MLPF&S) for providing shareholder servicing
and/or distribution related services to Service, Investor A, Investor A1,
Investor B, Investor B1, Investor B2, Investor C, Investor C1, Investor C2
and Class R shareholders. For the year ended September 30, 2008
the Fund did not accrue Investor B2 distribution fees because of
regulatory limits.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, affiliates earned underwriting
discounts, direct commissions and dealer concessions on sales of the
Fund’s Investor A Shares, which totaled $848,549 and affiliates received
contingent deferred sales charges of $98,284, $1,508, $815, $89,514,
$11,919 and $81 relating to transactions in Investor B, Investor B1,
Investor B2, Investor C, Investor C1 and Investor C2 Shares, respectively.
Furthermore, affiliates received contingent deferred sales charges of
$4,151 relating to transactions subject to front-end sales charge waivers
on Investor A Shares. These amounts include payments to Hilliard Lyons,
which was considered an affiliate for a portion of the year.

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 $4,558,311 in return for these services, which
are a component of the transfer agent fees in the accompanying
Statement of Operations.

fees charged for all shareholder communications including mailing of
shareholder reports, dividend and distribution notices, and proxy materials
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 Fund, 12b-1 fee calculation, check writing, anti-money
laundering services, and customer identification services.

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.

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

3. 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 on
net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of
September 30, 2008 attributable to amortization methods on fixed

income securities, foreign currency transactions, accounting for paydowns
and accounting for swap agreements, were reclassified to the
following accounts:

Increase (decrease) paid-in capital    (399,530) 
Increase (decrease) undistributed net investment income    10,780,308 
Increase (decrease) accumulated net realized gain (loss)    (10,380,778) 

 

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

    9/30/2008    9/30/2007 

 
 
Distributions paid from:         
Ordinary income    $138,509,228    $25,444,826 
   
 
Total taxable distributions    $138,509,228    $25,444,826 
   
 

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

Undistributed ordinary income    $ 12,729,875 
Capital loss carryforwards    (55,122,576) 
Net unrealized losses*    (331,846,002) 
   
Total accumulated net losses    $ (374,238,703) 
   

  * The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses is
attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the difference
between book and tax amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed
income securities, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on
certain futures and foreign currency contracts, the deferral of post-October capital
losses for tax purposes, accounting for swap agreements and other book/tax tem-
porary differences.

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

Expires September 30,

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm BlackRock Total Return Fund

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities
of BlackRock Total Return 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 periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the 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 Fund is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit 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 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.
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 Total Return 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 periods
presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements Master Total Return Portfolio

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

Master Total Return Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) is a part of Master
Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”) and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized
as a Delaware limited liability company. The Limited Liability Company
Agreement permits the Directors to issue non-transferable interests in
the Master LLC, subject to certain limitations. The Master Portfolio’s
financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting princi-
ples 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 following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Master Portfolio:

Valuation of Investments: The Master Portfolio values its corporate bond
investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market
quotations provided by dealers or pricing services selected under
the supervision of the Master LLC’s 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 invest-
ments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in
comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market
between investments, and calculated yield measures based on valuation
technology commonly employed in the market for such investments.
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. Swap agreements are
valued by quoted fair values received daily by the pricing service or
through brokers. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost.

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
its determined that such prior no longer reflects the Fair value option.
Over-the-counter options are valued by an independent pricing service
using a mathematical model that 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
Master Portfolio 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 sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is
subsequently 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 computing
the net assets of the Master Portfolio’s are determined as of such times.
Foreign currency exchange rates will generally 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 Master
Portfolio’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement,
market vola-tility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that
are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, those
securities may 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 Master Portfolio may engage in
various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the
Master Portfolio 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.

Financial futures contracts — The Master Portfolio may purchase or
sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts.
Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a
specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering
into a contract, the Master Portfolio deposits and maintains as col-
lateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the
transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Master Portfolio
agrees to receive from, or pay, to the broker an amount of cash equal
to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or
payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the
Master Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is
closed, the Master Portfolio records 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) Master Total Return Portfolio

Foreign currency exchange contracts — The Master Porfolio may enter
into foreign currency exchange contracts as a hedge against either
specific transactions or portfolio positions. Foreign currency exchange
contracts, when used by the Master Portfolio, help to manage the
overall exposure to the foreign currency backing some of the invest-
ments held by the Master Portfolio. The contract is marked-to-market
daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Master
Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed,
the Master Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the dif-
ference between the value at the time it was opened and the value
at the time it was closed.

Foreign currency options and futures — The Master Portfolio may also
purchase or sell listed or over-the-counter foreign currency options,
foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency
futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign
exchange rates. When foreign currency is purchased or sold through
an exercise of a foreign currency option, the related premium paid
(or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the foreign
currency acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of
the foreign currency sold. Such transactions may be effected with
respect to hedges on non-US dollar denominated securities owned
by the Master Portfolio, sold by the Master Portfolio but not yet deliv-
ered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Master
Portfolio.

Options — The Master Portfolio may purchase and write call and
put options. When the Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount
equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is reflected
as an asset and an equivalent liability. 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 Master Portfolio enters into a closing
transaction), the Master Portfolio 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.

Swaps — The Master Portfolio may enter into swap agreements con-
tracts in which the Master Portfolio and a counterparty agree to make

periodic net payments on a specified notional amount. These period-
ic payments received or made by the Master Portfolio are recorded in
the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or loss-
es, 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 unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When
the swap is terminated, the Master Portfolio will record a realized
gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or
cost of) the closing transaction and the Master Portfolio’s basis in
the contract, if any.

Credit default swaps — Credit default swaps are agreements in which
one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consider-
ation for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific pay-
ment should a negative credit event take place.

Interest rate swaps — Interest rate swaps are agreements in which
one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal
amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional
principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party
may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. In more complex
swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over
time.

Total return swaps — Total return swaps are agreements in which one
party commits to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return.
To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the
transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obli-
gation, the Master Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a
payment to the counterparty.

Swap options — Swap options (swaptions) are similar to options on
securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy
or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granti-
ng or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest
rate swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are trans-
lated into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value
of investment 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 Master Portfolio reports foreign currency related transactions as
components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas
such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income
tax purposes.

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: The Master Portfolio
may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are
generally issued as pass-through certificates, which represent undivided

46 BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. SEPTEMBER 30, 2008


Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Master Total Return Portfolio

fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets, or as debt
instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, and are
generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely
for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-
backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing
the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics
of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securi-
ties. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the
obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets
(i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in inter-
est rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepay-
ments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their
loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed
security subject to such a prepayment feature will have the effect of
shortening the maturity of the security. If the Master Portfolio has pur-
chased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than
anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the
extent of the premium paid.

The Master Portfolio may purchase in the secondary market certain
mortgage pass-through securities. There are a number of important
differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S.
Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the
securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities
guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”)
are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by
GNMA and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of
the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by the
Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) include FNMA guaran-
teed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates which are solely the obligations
of the FNMA, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of
the United States and are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow
from the Treasury.

The Master Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in securities
backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that
hold mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Please see the Schedule
of Investments for these securities. Changes in economic conditions,
including delinquencies and/or defaults on assets underlying these secu-
rities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.

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.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The Master Portfolio may sell mortgage-backed
securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contract
to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity)
securities on a specific future date at an agreed-upon price. The market
value of the securities that the Master Portfolio is required to purchase
may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
Pools of mortgages collateralizing those securities may have different
prepayment histories than those sold. During the period between the
sale and the repurchase, the Master Portfolio will not be entitled to
receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Proceeds
of the sale will be invested in additional instruments for the Master
Portfolio, and the income from these investments will generate income
for the Master Portfolio. If such income does not exceed the income,
capital appreciation and gain or loss that would have been realized on
the securities sold as part of the dollar roll, the use of this technique
will diminish the investment performance of the Master Portfolio com-
pared with what the performance would have been without the use of
dollar rolls.

Preferred Stock: The Master Portfolio 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 pre-
ferred 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.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: The Master Portfolio may enter into
reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers.
Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued
and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates at the time of
issuance. At the time the Master Portfolio enters into a reverse repur-
chase agreement, it identifies for segregation certain liquid securities
having a value not less than the repurchase price, including accrued
interest, of the reverse repurchase agreement. The Master Portfolio may
utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the
interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of
the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Master Total Return Portfolio

TBA Commitments: The Master Portfolio may enter into to-be-announced
(“TBA”) commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a
future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves,
and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or
sold declines or increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition
to the risk of decline in the value of the Master Portfolio’s other assets.
Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current market value of
the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under
“Valuation of Investments.”

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Master Portfolio 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 experience greater volatility in market value than similar
maturity debt obligations 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
the Master Portfolio segregate assets in connection with certain invest-
ments (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements, swaps, swaptions or futures
contracts), the Master Portfolio 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 transac-
tions 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
Master Portfolio has determined the ex-dividend dates. Interest income
is recognized on the accrual basis. The Master Portfolio amortizes all
premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Income Taxes: The Master Portolio is classified as a partnership for feder-
al income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master Portfolio is
treated as owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income,
expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master
Portfolio. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the
applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on the
interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates. It is intended that
the Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master
Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code.

Effective March 31, 2008, the Master Portfolio 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 evaluated
the application of FIN 48 to the Master Portfolio, and has determined
that the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the
Master Portfolio’s financial statements. The Master Portfolio files U.S.
federal and various state and local returns. No income tax returns are
currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Master
Portfolio’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the years ended
September 30, 2005 through September 30, 2007. The statute of
limitations on the Master Portfolio’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 Master Portfolio’s 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. 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 Master Portfolios’
financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Master Portfolio are charged to
that Master Portfolio. Other operating expenses shared by several funds

are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or
other appropriate methods.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The Master LLC, on behalf of the Master Portfolio, entered into an
Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors LLC (the
“Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to
provide investment advisory and administration services. Merrill Lynch &
Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.,
are principal owners of BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Master Portfolio’s
portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities and equipment
to provide such services to the Master Portfolio. For such services, the
Master Portfolio pays a monthly fee based upon upon the aggregate
average daily value of the net assets of the Master Portfolio and

poses other than for leverage. The Master Portfolio may borrow up to

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm    Master Total Return Portfolio 

To the Shareholders and Board of
Directors of Master Bond LLC:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of Master Total Return Portfolio of
Master Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”), as of September 30, 2008, and
the related statement 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. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Master LLC’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 Master LLC is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit 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 Master LLC’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 the securities owned as of
September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers;
where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other audit-
ing 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
Master Total Return Portfolio of Master Bond LLC 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 accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

50 BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. SEPTEMBER 30, 2008


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 Total Return Fund (the “Portfolio”) of
BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) and of Master Total Return
Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”) of Master Bond LLC (the “Master LLC”)
met in April and June 2008 to consider the approval of Master LLC’s
investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), the Master LLC’s investment
advisor. The Portfolio is a “feeder” fund that invests all of its assets in
the Master Portfolio, which has the same investment objectives and
strategies as the Portfolio. All investments are made at the Master
Portfolio level. The Board also considered the approval of the sub-
advisory 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, Fund, Master Portfolio and Master LLC
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 “Independent
Directors”). The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the oper-
ations 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 connection 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 invest-
ment management, administrative services, shareholder services, over-
sight 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 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 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 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 rela-
tionship 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.
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

BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 51


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

of funds as determined by Lipper (“Peers”); (b) information on the
profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and certain affiliates,
including their other relationships with the Fund, and a discussion
of fall-out benefits; (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 man-
dates, as well as the performance 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 valu-
ation 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 control-
ling, 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
services 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 respon-
sible 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 invest-
ment 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

administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addi-
tion 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 addi-
tional 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 compli-
ance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions neces-
sary 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 com-
pliance 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 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 Fund ranked in the third quartile on a net basis against its Lipper
peer universe for each of the one, three and five year periods ended
December 31, 2007, respectively. In considering the Advisory Agreement,
the Board expressed its concern with the Fund’s third quartile perform-
ance. The Board discussed the processes and the resources dedicated
to the management of the Fund with BlackRock’s senior management
and will continue its ongoing dialogue with BlackRock on the Fund’s
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.

52 BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. SEPTEMBER 30, 2008


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (concluded)

The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s
financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it pro-
vided the Fund. The Board was also provided with a profitability analy-
sis 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 noted that although the Fund (the Portfolio invests all of
its assets into the Master Portfolio, a series of Master LLC, in a master-
feeder arrangement) has contractual advisory fees higher than its Peers,
the Fund paid actual advisory fees, net of fee waivers, that were lower
than or equal to the median of its Peers. The Board took into account
that BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive the Portfolio’s advisory
fee in the amount of the Portfolio’s share of the advisory fee paid by
the Master Portfolio for as long as the Portfolio invests in the Master
Portfolio, thereby lowering Fund expenses. The Board also took into
account that the Master Portfolio has an advisory fee arrangement that
includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of
the Master Portfolio increases, thereby allowing shareholders the poten-
tial to participate in economies of scale. The Board further noted that
BlackRock has agreed to contractually cap the total annual operating
expenses, excluding certain expenses, of one or more share classes of
the Portfolio, at certain levels. The Board observed that those expense
caps benefited shareholders by limiting total fees.

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 per-
sonnel and commit capital to expand the scale of operations. The Board
found, based on its review of comparable funds, that the Fund’s man-
agement 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.

  (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

Master Total Return Portfolio    $296,700    $293,700 

 
 

(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.
