Dear Shareholder

The global economic recovery that began in 2009 has continued on its choppy course this year, delivering mixed economic data and gradual if uneven improvement of investor sentiment. The risks of a double-dip recession continue to recede, but the economy remains mired in a slow-growth environment. The major short-term ambiguities that kept market participants on the fence—the US financial reform bill, political uncertainty, European bank stress test results, and European sovereign funding—have all abated to some degree, allowing market conditions to regain some degree of normalcy and demonstrate growth. In the United States, the National Bureau of Economic Research declared that the “Great Recession” ended in June 2009. Spanning December 2007 to June 2009, this marked the longest reported recession since the Great Depression. Structural problems of ongoing deleveraging and weak spending among businesses and households weigh heavily on the pace of economic growth. The Federal Reserve Board has made it clear that additional policy action will be needed to combat the slow pace of growth, high unemployment, and deflation risks.

The high levels of volatility experienced in global equity markets throughout 2009 continued into 2010 as uncertainty driven by mixed economic data and lingering credit issues caused stocks to trade in both directions, but by the end of the first quarter, most markets had managed to post gains. The second quarter, in contrast, brought higher levels of volatility and a “flight to quality” as investor sentiment was dominated by fears of a double-dip recession. Global equity markets saw negative quarterly returns – and for many markets, the first significant downturn since the bull market began in March 2009. As the end of the 12-month period drew near, economic data turned less negative and strong corporate earnings reports became increasingly consistent. These factors along with the anticipation of further quantitative easing drove equity markets higher in the third quarter, with most markets recapturing their second quarter losses and moving into positive territory year-to-date. International equities turned positive, posting gains on both a six- and 12-month basis. In the US, both large and small cap equities posted robust gains for the 12-month period; however large cap stocks remain negative on a six-month basis while small caps turned positive.

In fixed income markets, yields fluctuated but generally declined over the past 12 months amid heightened uncertainty. Weak economic data, lingering credit problems and, near the end of the period, the expectation of additional quantitative easing drove interest rates lower and bond prices higher. Treasuries rallied over the period, modestly outperforming the credit spread sectors of the market. Corporate credit spreads benefited from the low interest rate environment and high yield fixed income became increasingly attractive due to declining default rates and better-than-expected results on European bank stress tests. Tax-exempt municipal bonds performed well over the 12-month period, driven primarily by technical factors including favorable supply-and-demand dynamics.

Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

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

   6-month     12-month  

US large cap equities (S&P 500 Index)

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 April 1, 2010 and held through September 30, 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.

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 September 30, 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.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of September 30, 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.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2010 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock FundsSM (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. As of September 30, 2010, the Trust had 24 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” or individually a “Fund”) 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 and service 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. In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the same security at a mutually agreed upon date and price. On a daily basis, the counterparty is required to maintain collateral subject to the agreement and in value no less than the agreed repurchase amount. 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.

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 as follows: 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 contractually and/or voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses, excluding dividend expense, interest 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 are 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.

The Manager entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Institutional Management Corporation (“BIMC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock. The Manager pays BIMC, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Funds to the Manager.

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 for the fiscal year; 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.

On September 30, 2010, the amounts subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:

Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing and distribution services to each Fund. The ongoing service and/or distribution fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution related services to Service, Hilliard Lyons, Investor A, Investor B and Investor C shareholders.

The Manager and BRIL voluntarily agreed to waive management and service fees and reimburse operating expenses to enable the Funds to maintain a minimum daily net investment income dividend. These amounts are reported in the Statements of Operations as fees waived by advisor, service fees waived—class specific and transfer agent fees reimbursed—class specific. The Manager and BRIL may discontinue the waiver or reimbursement at any time.

For the period ended September 30, 2010, affiliates received the following contingent deferred sales charges relating to transactions in Investor A, Investor B and Investor C Shares—$13, $27,758 and $9,038, respectively, for Money Market.

PFPC Trust Company (“PTC”) serves as custodian for each Fund. On July 1, 2010, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation purchased PTC, which prior to this date was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary and an affiliate of the Manager. For these services, the custodian receives a fee computed daily and payable monthly, based on a percentage of the average daily gross assets of each Fund. The fee is paid at the following annual rates: 0.0025% of the first $2 billion and 0.002% of average daily gross assets in excess of $2 billion; plus per transaction charges and other miscellaneous fees incurred on behalf of each Fund. For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Funds paid the following to affiliates in return for these services, which are included in custodian in the Statements of Operations:

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.

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNYMIS”) (formerly PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”)), serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. On July 1, 2010, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation purchased PNCGIS, which prior to this date was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Manager. Transfer agency fees borne by the Funds are comprised of those 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, check writing, anti-money laundering services, and customer identification services. Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Funds with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these affiliated entities receive an fee that could vary depending on, among other things, shareholder accounts, share class and net assets.

The Manager maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing certain shareholder services to the Funds, such as responding to shareholder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instructions from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption of Fund shares. For the period ended September 30, 2010, each Fund reimbursed the Manager the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent—class specific in the Statements of Operations.

3. Capital Loss Carryforward:

As of March 31, 2010, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

 

     Expiring March 31,         
     2015      2017      Total  

Municipal

   $ 4,486       $ 4,110       $ 8,596   

North Carolina Municipal

   $ 7,587       $ 15,916       $ 23,503   

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 credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with 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:

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of BlackRock FundsSM (the “Trust”) met on April 20, 2010 and May 18-19, 2010 to consider the approval of the Trust’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trust’s investment advisor, with respect to each of the Money Market Portfolios of the Trust (each, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”). The Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and BlackRock Institutional Management Corporation (the “Sub-Advisor”), with respect to each Fund. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

The Board consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Trust and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Co-Chairs of the Board are each Independent Board Members. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight and Contract Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by Independent Board Members. The Board also has one ad hoc committee, the Joint Product Pricing Committee, which consists of Independent Board Members and directors/trustees of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who are not “interested persons” of their respective funds.

The Agreements

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the 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 Funds by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

From time to time throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Funds and their shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance against its peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for services, such as transfer agency, marketing and distribution, call center and fund accounting; (c) Fund operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to each Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) the Trust’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 policies approved by the Board; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Trust’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of contractual and actual management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; and (l) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process:  Prior to the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board is engaged in a process with BlackRock to periodically review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients, as applicable; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; (f) sales and redemption data regarding each Fund’s shares; and (g) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.

At an in-person meeting held on April 20, 2010, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 18-19, 2010 Board meeting.

At an in-person meeting held on May 18-19, 2010, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Trust with respect to each Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to each Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. In approving the

continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of each Fund and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.

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 valuation and pricing of portfolio holdings of each Fund, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with the Funds and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock:  The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, and the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by each Fund’s portfolio management team discussing Fund performance and each Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.

The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and each Fund’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance, BlackRock’s credit analysis capabilities, BlackRock’s risk analysis capabilities and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to each 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 each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Funds with certain administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Funds by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the statement of additional information and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Funds, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of each Fund and BlackRock:  The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund. In preparation for the April 20, 2010 meeting, the Board was provided with reports, independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s performance. 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 each Fundas 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 each Fund throughout the year. The Board attaches more importance to performance over relatively long periods of time, typically three to five years.

The Board noted that, in general, the Ohio Municipal Money Market Portfolio and the Virginia Municipal Money Market Portfolio each performed better than its Peers in that the Fund’s performance was at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in two of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.

The Board noted that although the Money Market Portfolio and the U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio each underperformed its Peers in two of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, underperformance for at least one of the periods was within 5% of the respective Lipper Performance Universe median return of the Fund’s Peers. The Board and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving each Fund’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist each Fund’s portfolio managers and to improve each Fund’s performance.

The Board noted that although the New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio underperformed its Peers in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, such underperformance was within 5% of the Lipper Performance Universe median return of its Peers for at least two of the periods. The Board and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving the Fund’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the Fund’s portfolio managers and to improve the Fund’s performance.

The Board noted that the Municipal Money Market Portfolio, the North Carolina Municipal Money Market Portfolio and the Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Portfolio each performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for each Fund’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board was informed that, among other things, each Fund’s portfolio managers substantially tightened Fund credit guidelines and increased the Fund’s normal overnight liquidity to near emergency levels during 2007, 2008 and 2009. This has negatively impacted each Fund’s performance for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving each Fund’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist each Fund’s portfolio managers and to improve each 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 their Relationship with each Fund:  The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. It also compared each Fund’s total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.

The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Funds. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Funds and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.

The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information was available, the Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising open-end funds, among other product types. That data indicates that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms. That third party data indicates that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.

In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to each 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 management of each Fund. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.

The Board noted that the Ohio Municipal Money Market Portfolio’s contractual advisory fee rate was lower than or equal to the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by its Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers.

The Board noted that the Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Portfolio’s contractual advisory fee rate was above the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by its Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted, however, that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was reasonable relative to the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by its Peers.

The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate of each of the Municipal Money Market Portfolio, the New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio, the North Carolina Municipal Money Market Portfolio, the U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio and the Virginia Municipal Money Market Portfolio was above the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted, however, that each Fund’s actual advisory fee rate, after giving effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers by BlackRock, and/or other parties if applicable, was lower than or equal to the median actual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund’s Peers, after giving effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers.

The Board noted that the Money Market Portfolio’s contractual advisory fee rate was above the median contractual advisory fee rate paid by its Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also noted, however, that although the Fund’s actual total expenses, after giving effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers by BlackRock, and/or other parties if applicable, were above the median actual total expenses of its Peers, after giving effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers, they were in the third quartile.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (concluded)

 

The Board also noted that with respect to the New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio, the North Carolina Municipal Money Market Portfolio, the Ohio Municipal Money Market Portfolio, the Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Portfolio, the U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio and the Virginia Municipal Money Market Portfolio, BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit, to a specified amount, the Fund’s total operating expenses as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, on a class-by-class basis, as applicable, and that with respect to the Money Market Portfolio and the Municipal Money Market Portfolio, BlackRock has contractually and/or voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit, to a specified amount, the Fund’s total operating expenses as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, on a class-by-class basis, as applicable. The Board further noted that each Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the Fund increases above certain contractually specified levels. The Board noted that BlackRock and the Funds’ distributor have voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of their respective fees and/or reimburse operating expenses to enable the Funds to maintain minimum levels of daily net investment income. This waiver and/or reimbursement may be discontinued at any time without notice.

D. Economies of Scale:  The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of each Fund increase. The Board also considered the extent to which each Fund benefits from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of revised breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Fund.

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members:  The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from their respective relationships with the Funds, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Funds, including for administrative, transfer agency and distribution services. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Board further noted that BlackRock completed the acquisition of a complex of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) on December 1, 2009, and that BlackRock’s funds may invest in such ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.

In connection with its consideration of the Agreements the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.

The Board noted the competitive nature of the open-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe that a Fund’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of a Fund.

Conclusion

The Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Trust with respect to each Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to each Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its 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, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for each Fund reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.
