Dear Shareholder

The past year has seen a remarkable turnaround from the conditions that plagued the global economy and financial markets in 2008 through early 2009. In our opinion, the “Great Recession” likely ended at some point last summer, thanks primarily to massive fiscal and monetary stimulus. From that point, the global economy has moved into recovery mode and, we believe, is getting ready to start transitioning into an expansion.

Global equity markets bottomed in early 2009 and since that time have soared dramatically higher as investors were lured back into the markets by depressed valuations, desire for higher yields and increasing confidence that all-out financial disaster had been averted. There have been several corrections along the way and volatility levels have remained elevated — reflections of mixed economic data, lingering deflation issues (especially in Europe) and concerns over the future direction of interest rates. On balance, however, strong corporate earnings and a positive macro backdrop have helped keep the equity bull market intact. From a geographic perspective, US equities have generally outpaced their international counterparts in recent months, as the domestic economic recovery has been more pronounced.

Within fixed income markets, improving economic conditions, concerns over the US deficit and a lack of demand at recent Treasury auctions have recently conspired to push Treasury yields higher (and prices correspondingly lower). In this environment, Treasuries have dramatically underperformed other areas of the bond market, particularly the high yield sector, which has been benefiting from increased investor demand. Meanwhile, municipal bonds outperformed taxable sectors over the twelve-month period thanks to continued high demand levels, but have struggled in recent months against a weak fundamental backdrop marked by ongoing state and local budget problems. As in the taxable arena, high yield municipals have been outperforming the rest of the market.

Regarding cash investments, yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows (producing returns only marginally above zero percent), with the Federal Open Market Committee reiterating that economic circumstances are likely to necessitate an accommodative interest rate stance for an “extended period.”

Against this backdrop, the major market averages posted the following returns:

US equities (S&P 500 Index)

   11.75   49.77

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Index performance shown for illustrative purposes only. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Global financial markets continue to show signs of improvement, but questions about the strength and sustainability of the recovery abound.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of each Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses related to transactions, and (b) operating expenses including advisory fees, service and distribution fees, including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2009 and held through March 31, 2010) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.

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

The tables also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratios 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 each 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 tables are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical tables are 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.

Table of Contents
Schedule of Investments (concluded)    BlackRock Money Market Portfolio

 

 

Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

   

Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

 

   

Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2010 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

   

Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

 

   

Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

   

Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

 

   

Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2010 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

   

Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

 

   

Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements - Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

   

Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

 

   

Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock FundsSM (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of March 31, 2010, the Trust had 25 series, of which BlackRock Money Market Portfolio (“Money Market”), BlackRock U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio (“U.S. Treasury”), BlackRock Municipal Money Market Portfolio (“Municipal”), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio (“New Jersey Municipal”), BlackRock North Carolina Municipal Money Market Portfolio (“North Carolina Municipal”), BlackRock Ohio Municipal Money Market Portfolio (“Ohio Municipal”), BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Portfolio (“Pennsylvania Municipal”) and BlackRock Virginia Municipal Money Market Portfolio (“Virginia Municipal”) (collectively the “Funds”) are included in these financial statements. Each of the Funds, except Money Market, U.S. Treasury and Municipal, is non-diversified. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Each Fund may offer Shares of Institutional, Service, Investor A, Investor B and Investor C classes. In addition, Money Market and Municipal may offer Hilliard Lyons Shares. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Service, Hilliard Lyons, Investor A, Investor B and Investor C Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares and Investor B and Investor C Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Investor B Shares automatically convert to Investor A Shares after approximately eight years. Investor B Shares are only available for purchase through exchanges, dividend reinvestment or the purchase by certain qualified employee benefit plans. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A distribution plan).

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

Valuation: The Funds’ securities are valued under the amortized cost method which approximates current market value in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Under this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter, a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until the maturity of the security. The Funds seek to maintain their net asset value per share at $1.00, although there is no assurance that they will be able to do so on a continuing basis.

Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements. Under such agreements, under which the counterparty agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities held as collateral subject to the agreement at no less than the repurchase price. The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a segregated account by each Fund’s custodian. In the event the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, the Funds could experience losses, delays and costs in liquidating the collateral.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Income and realized 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, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.

Income Taxes: It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Funds file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Fund’s US federal tax returns remains open for the two years ended September 30, 2008, the period ended March 31, 2009 and the year ended March 31, 2010. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. There are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Recent Accounting Standard: In January 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended guidance for improving disclosure about fair value measurements which will require additional disclosure about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation for fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this guidance on the Fund’s financial statements and disclosures, is currently being assessed.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or its classes. 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 a Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not.

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates of each Fund’s average daily net assets: 0.45% of the first $1 billion, 0.40% of the next $1 billion, 0.375% of the next $1 billion and 0.35% of the assets in excess of $3 billion.

The Manager has entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Institutional Management Corporation (“BIMC”), an affiliate of the Manager, pursuant to which BIMC serves as sub-advisor for each Fund. The Manager pays the sub-advisor, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Funds to the Manager.

The Manager has agreed to contractually and/or voluntarily waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, in order to limit expenses. The expense limitations as a percentage of net assets were as follows:

1 The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement until August 1, 2011 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the non-interested Trustees.
2 The voluntary waiver or reimbursement may be reduced or discontinued at any time.
3 Fund currently active but no assets in share class.

If during a Fund’s fiscal year, the operating expenses of a share class that at any time during the prior two fiscal years received a waiver or reimbursement from the Manager, are less than the expense limit for that share class, the Manager is entitled to be reimbursed by such share class up to the amount of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during those prior two years under the agreement, provided that: (1) the Fund of which the share class is a part has more than $50 million in assets; and (2) the Manager or an affiliate continues to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor or administrator. In the event the expense limit for a share class is changed subsequent to a fiscal year in which the Manager becomes entitled to reimbursement for fees waived or reimbursed, the amount available to reimburse the Manager shall be calculated by reference to the expense limit for that share class in effect at the time the Manager became entitled to receive such reimbursement, rather than the subsequently changed expense limit for that share class.

The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (”PNCGIS“), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Manager, serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent.

These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of March 31, 2010 attributable to nondeductible excise tax paid, reclassification of distributions paid and the use of equalization were reclassified to the following accounts:

4. Market and Credit Risk:

The New Jersey Municipal, North Carolina Municipal, Ohio Municipal, Pennsylvania Municipal and Virginia Municipal invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific states.

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risks, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. The Fund manages counterparty risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their

 

52   BLACKROCK FUNDS    MARCH 31, 2010    


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

5. Capital Shares Transactions:

The number of shares sold, reinvested and redeemed correspond to the net proceeds from the sale of shares, reinvestment of dividends and cost of shares redeemed, respectively, since shares are redeemed at $1.00 per share.

Transactions in capital shares for each class were as follows:

6. Federal Insurance:

The Funds participated in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”). As a result of the Funds’ participation in the Program, in the event a Fund’s net asset value fell below $0.995 per share, shareholders in that Fund would have had federal insurance of $1.00 per share up to the lesser of a shareholder’s balance in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008, or the amount held in the Fund by the shareholder on the date the guarantee was triggered. Any increase in the number of shares in a shareholder’s account after the close of business

on September 19, 2008 and any investments after a shareholder closed their account would not have been guaranteed. As a participant in the Program, which expired September 18, 2009, the Funds paid a participation fee of 0.03% for the period December 19, 2008 through September 18, 2009 of the Funds’ shares outstanding value as of September 19, 2008. The participation fee for the period April 1, 2009 to September 18, 2009 is included in federal insurance in the Statements of Operations. These fees are not covered by the contractual agreement to reduce fees and reimburse expenses.

7. Subsequent Events:

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of BlackRock Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the BlackRock Money Market, BlackRock U.S. Treasury Money Market, BlackRock Municipal Money Market, BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Money Market, BlackRock North Carolina Municipal Money Market, BlackRock Ohio Municipal Money Market, BlackRock Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market, and BlackRock Virginia Municipal Money Market Portfolios [eight of the twenty-five portfolios constituting the BlackRock Funds (the “Fund”), (collectively, the “Portfolios”)] as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended, for the period October 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009, and for the year ended September 30, 2008, 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 assurance 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 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2010, 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 each of the Portfolios constituting the Fund as of March 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(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


Table of Contents

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.

(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.
