LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS November 30, 2002 Dear Shareholder: We are pleased to report that during the fiscal year, the Trusts continued to provide tax-free monthly income, as well as the opportunity to invest in various diversified portfolios of municipal bond securities. The Trusts are actively managed, which means that the management team is continuously monitoring the municipal bond market and adjusting the portfolios to gain exposure to various issuers, revenue sources and security types. This strategy enables the Trusts to move among different sectors, credits and coupons to capitalize on changing market conditions. During the year, the municipal market showed strength as large numbers of individual investors, concerned about the economic environment, volatility in the stock market and the relatively low rates paid by CDs and money market instruments, pursued opportunities in municipal bonds. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the LEHMAN MUNICIPAL BOND INDEX(1) had a total return of 5.87%. The following table shows the Trusts' yields, tax-equivalent yields (based on the maximum Federal tax rate of 38.6%), closing market prices per share and net asset values ("NAV") per share as of October 31, 2002.

THE FIXED INCOME MARKETS Fixed income markets displayed considerable vigor during the fiscal year. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the LEHMAN AGGREGATE INDEX, a broad measure of the fixed income market, returned 5.89%. The Index returned an even more impressive 8.05% year-to-date, despite giving back some gains in October, when the equity markets posted one of the strongest monthly gains in 15 years. Over the period (the Trusts' fiscal year), several high profile corporate credit scandals, ongoing economic weakness, as well as continued geopolitical issues, most notably concerns over the possible war in the Middle East and the ongoing threats of terrorism, weighed on the markets. Accordingly, the bond market priced in various scenarios of potential action by the Federal Reserve (the "Fed"). These expectations ranged from a tightening of up to 175 basis points ("bps") by the end of 2002, to the conviction that the Fed's next move would be yet another easing. Indeed, a week after the conclusion of the fiscal year, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") elected to further reduce interest rates by 50 bps. In their decision, the FOMC cited the existence of greater uncertainty and geopolitical risks, which are, "currently inhibiting spending, production, and employment". Uncertainty and volatility remain the primary themes in the U.S. markets, as the underlying economic data appears inconclusive of either a sustainable market recovery or a "double-dip" scenario. Many fundamental economic factors began the period with optimistic readings, but more recent data point towards an economic recovery that is far from certain. GDP growth began the first quarter of 2002 on a strong note (+5.0%), as inventory rebuilding was a major contributor. However, the barometer of the nation's total output of goods and services has noticeably dropped off since then. GDP growth rose marginally during the third quarter of 2002 and has lagged expectations over the past two quarters. In addition, manufacturing data, as measured by the Institute of Supply Managers Index, indicates that business confidence is weak and the prospects for growth remain sluggish. Consumer confidence, which remained strong through the summer months and reached historical highs, also significantly declined and stood at a nine-year low by the end of the period. The Consumer Confidence measure, which has suffered five consecutive months of declining numbers, suggests concern regarding the strength of the highly leveraged consumer. Job growth advanced from the initial drop-off seen post-September 11th, but remained mostly flat during the year. Jobless claims are also a noticeable source of interest as the unemployment rate peaked at 6% in April and remains at elevated levels. The U.S. trade balance is another topic of concern and the dollar has come under pressure, owing in part to a widening gap in the trade deficit. Some encouraging data has surfaced during the period, most notably in the form of housing starts. Spurred on by historically low interest rates, new residential home building has persevered. Also, the Consumer Price Index has continued to emerge with statistics suggestive of a benign inflationary environment. Although this alleviated the impetus for the Fed to raise interest rates during the period, concern has surfaced surrounding a possible deflationary atmosphere. Indeed, with the conflicting and often negative economic data offered towards the end of the period, the markets had positioned themselves in anticipation of the next move by the FOMC to be their 12th consecutive rate reduction of the current easing cycle. The uncertainty in the overall marketplace was evidenced by volatility in the Treasury market over the fiscal year. As we entered the period, the market was positioned for aggressive Federal Reserve easing. Expectations of a prolonged economic slowdown caused 2 the yield curve to reach its steepest level in almost a decade. The market then reversed its expectations amid signs of an improving economy. As a result, Treasury bonds suffered, leading to a drop in prices and a corresponding rise in yields. When the prospects of a near-term economic recovery faded over the second half of the period, Treasuries rallied strongly. Year-to-date, the Treasury market returned 10.05%, as measured by the LEHMAN TREASURY INDEX. Yields of short and intermediate maturities, specifically in the two- to five-year range, have declined faster than those of longer maturity issues due to risk aversion and expectations for short-term rates to fall. However, rates have fallen across the curve in 2002 and the 10-year yield touched 3.5%, a low not seen since the early 1960s. The equity market rally in early October pushed yields back up and the 10-year note finished the period just under 4.0%. Over the final month of the fiscal year, volatility continued to remain high in the Treasury market given the apparent willingness of investors to assume more risk. As of October 31, 2002, the 10-year Treasury was yielding 3.89% versus 4.23% a year earlier. In the final two months of 2001, municipals experienced a sell-off due in part to heavy new issuance and a decline in demand as investors sought exposure to cyclical equity stocks in anticipation of a near-term economic recovery. However, this recovery did not materialize and the municipal market was one of the top-performing fixed income asset classes throughout the first three quarters of 2002. Municipals, as measured by the LEHMAN MUNICIPAL INDEX, posted strong returns over the fiscal year, returning 5.87%. Demand remained robust for municipal bonds from both retail and institutional investors as a result of the high taxable-equivalent income offered by these securities. A remarkable aspect of the strong performance by the municipal market is that it occurred during a period of record bond issuance. Through the first ten months in 2002, new issue supply totaled approximately $290 billion, a pace that, if continued, will bring total 2002 issuance to over $320 billion, an all-time record (the previous record is $292 billion in 1993). Despite strong performance through the first nine months of 2002, October brought instability to the fixed income markets in general. For municipals, continued heavy supply from issuers looking to take advantage of 40 year lows in rates and a corresponding rally in the equity markets caused demand from retail investors to somewhat taper off, putting pressure on performance. Although performance in all fixed income sectors suffered in October, municipals posted strong returns over the entire period. CALIFORNIA California is the nation's most populous state with nearly 34 million residents spread over its 163,707 square miles. This massive population supports the world's sixth largest economy, which produces a $1.3 trillion annual economic output. The state's vast economy turned sluggish in January 2001 and job growth has remained relatively stagnant. Year over year, through September 2002, California has added approximately 10,000 jobs. The September jobless rate was 6.3%, lower than June's peak (6.5%) but significantly higher than September 2001's 5.4% rate. This indicates that even more people are seeking employment than they were a year ago. In contrast, housing prices, spurred by low mortgage rates, continue to advance at a double digit pace (+18% in August) and the median single-family home price is now $334,100 (August 2002). California's General Fund revenues increased 48% between 1997-2001 while spending grew at a slower 41% during the same time frame. This spread enabled the state to accumulate a $7 billion surplus in the fiscal year ("FY") 2001. More recently, the slower economy depressed revenue returns and the state ended FY2002 with revenues approximately 1% less than projected in the May budget revision. The state's structural imbalance will grow if revenues do not meet projections. This was evidenced by the 2003 budget, which had to close a gap in excess of $23 billion. Revenue enhancements and expenditure cuts were used to accomplish this feat. Last spring, the state's General Fund came under additional stress due to the $6.2 billion loan to the Department of Water Resources in 2001 to pay for power purchases. The state will be reimbursed in mid-November from the proceeds of its $11.9 billion California Department of Water Resources Power bond sale. In June 2002, the state sold $7.5 billion of revenue anticipation warrants ("RAWs") and in October 2002, California sold $12.5 billion revenue anticipation notes ("RANs") to meet cash needs. On a positive note, year-to-date through September, General Fund revenues are only slightly under projected levels. Unless the economy shows considerable improvement, California will have to address the significant structural imbalance looming ahead. However, from the bondholder's perspective, California's large and diverse economy provides sufficient security, confirmed by Moody's and S&P's A1/A+ credit ratings. FLORIDA The state of Florida's historically strong financial position reflects prudent fiscal management combined with a solid and diversified economy. In fact, Florida's $472.1 billion total economic output (in 2000) makes it the nation's fourth largest state economy. The state's strong fiscal management is reflected in its maintenance of its annual General Fund balances vis-a-vis revenues (approximately 2.2% in 2002). This financial cushion provides additional security to both the state and its bondholders. During the recent economic expansion, Florida built up its budget stabilization fund to nearly $1 billion. Thus far, the state government has met the challenges of declining revenues due to the recession and the manifestations of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Specifically, the state's Revenue Estimating Conference lowered its income expectations, and reduced expenditures, in response to the sharp decline in tourism that significantly impacted Florida's economy and revenues. Sales tax receipts are the General Fund's major revenue source (73% in 2001) with tourism generating much of this income. The revenue revisions were accurate and the state expects to end FY2002 with a small surplus. Further evidence of appropriate, prudent revenue forecasting is that current revenue receipts (through September 2002) are nearly 103% of the March revisions. Florida residents' growing needs for Medicaid (2000 and 2001 combined increase was +22%) and education continue to add pressure to the $50.4 billion budget for FY2003. Florida's policy is to maintain a manageable debt burden while continuing to use bonds to meet capital expenses. Florida's population increased at a 1.8% average 3 annual rate between 1990-2000 to over 16 million residents. This compares to an average increase of 1% for the U.S. overall. Net migration into Florida accounted for 85% of its growth with approximately one-third of the new residents coming from foreign countries. By 2000, elderly residents accounted for 17.5% of the state's population. Although economists anticipate slower future growth, Florida's population expansion is expected to continue to exceed that of the nation. The state's economy is anchored by tourism, manufacturing and agriculture. Job creation is increasing slightly (less than 1%) since September 2001. The 5.1% unemployment rate (September 2002) is just above that of a year ago (5.0%) and significantly below the national average (5.7% in October 2002). Trade and services, the major employment sectors, have remained flat. The September 11th terrorist attacks significantly impacted Florida's heavily tourism dependent economy causing declines in air traffic, the hotel industry, and amusement and recreation activities. Manufacturing jobs continue to decline (4% year-over-year) and represent only 6.2% of Florida's employment, which is approximately one-half the national level. The construction industry is becoming less important as the state's economy diversifies. The state's large economy combined with its conservative fiscal policy, merit its Aa2/AA+ ratings by Moody's and S&P. NEW JERSEY New Jersey's strong and diversified workforce supports the eighth largest economy in the U.S. The economic expansion over the past decade fueled the state's dramatic increase in per capita disposable personal income to become the highest in the nation. However, New Jersey's economy was directly shaken by last fall's terrorist attacks. The ramifications of that event, combined with the recession and the downturn on Wall Street, have pressured the labor market and resulted in nearly stagnant job growth (less than 1% year-over-year). Reflecting this, the September 2002 unemployment rate increased to 5.3%, significantly higher than the 4.5% rate a year earlier. The manufacturing sector has notably contributed to the decline in employment. Until recently, New Jersey was able to rely on its strong and growing economy to support annual spending increases. This increasing prosperity, between 1993-2000, enabled New Jersey to afford income, business, and corporate tax reductions and still maintain a year-end operating surplus with reserve funds in excess of $1 billion (2001). In contrast, FY2002 saw significant declines in tax receipts and New Jersey chose to use all of its reserve funds to plug a deficit in excess of 12% of General Fund revenues. The state's debt burden remains manageable despite the 71% increase in appropriation bonds over the past five years. New Jersey's debt ratings (Aa2/AA) were downgraded in 2002, reflecting its slowing economy. NEW YORK Prudent, proactive and responsive fiscal management combined with sufficient reserve funds helped cushion the impact of the recession and the September 11th terrorist attacks on New York State's fiscal well-being. After September 11th, economic growth in New York ceased and the unemployment rate grew to a peak of 6.2% (May 2002), thereafter declining monthly to 5.6% (September 2002). Year-over-year statewide employment has increased less than 1% and remains below its June 2000 high of over 8.5 million jobs. The state benefits from a broad and diverse economic base and a substantial foundation of wealth and resources. However, the terrorist attacks, the recession and the drop in Wall Street employment and profits have had a definite, negative impact on the state's budget. New York used the FY2001 surplus ($1.6 billion) to meet its budgetary needs in FY2002, thus diminishing the state's fiscal flexibility. This year, the budget is faced with challenges in maintaining balanced operations as tax receipts are coming in below anticipated amounts. The FY2003 budget was produced in a timely manner, which helped to maintain New York State's AA rating from S&P. The state's fiscal health is directly linked to that of New York City. The recession, the destruction of the World Trade Center and the devastation to lower Manhattan has most definitely impacted the city's business structure. In September 2001, New York City lost 83,100 jobs and the unemployment rate grew to 7.9% in July 2002 before decreasing to 7.1% in September. Private sector jobs began to show the first indications of growth this past spring and the city's employment has increased slowly since March. The city's administration ended FY2002 in balance, with a small surplus, and closed a $4 billion budget gap for FY2003. This fiscal year and the next one present New York City with additional challenges, as tax revenues are not meeting projections. Revenue uncertainty and the potential for imminent structural imbalance prompted Moody's to change their outlook on New York City's A2 bond rating to "negative". THE TRUSTS' PORTFOLIOS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES The Trusts' portfolios are actively managed to diversify exposure to various sectors, issuers, revenue sources and security types. BlackRock's investment strategy emphasizes a relative value approach, which allows the Trusts to capitalize upon changing market conditions by rotating municipal sectors, credits and coupons. Additionally, each of the Trusts in this report may employ leverage to enhance their income by borrowing at short-term municipal rates and investing the proceeds in longer maturity issues which typically have higher yields. The degree to which the Trusts can benefit from their use of leverage may affect their ability to pay high monthly income. 4 The table below summarizes the approximate amount of leverage, as a percentage of managed assets, for each Trust at October 31, 2002. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUST LEVERAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL TRUST (BKN) 37% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST (BFK) 39 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK CALIFORNIA INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL TRUST (RAA) 33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST (BFZ) 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK FLORIDA INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL TRUST (RFA) 33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK FLORIDA MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST (BBF) 37 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK NEW JERSEY INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL TRUST (RNJ) 34 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST (BNJ) 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK NEW YORK INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL TRUST (RNY) 33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST (BNY) 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- We look forward to continuing to manage BlackRock's municipal closed-end funds to benefit from the opportunities available to investors in the fixed income markets.

See Notes to Financial Statements. 51 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION & ACCOUNTING POLICIES The BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. ("Municipal Investment Quality") was organized as a Maryland corporation on November 19, 1992. The BlackRock California Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. ("California Investment Quality"), The BlackRock New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. ("New Jersey Investment Quality") and The BlackRock New York Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. ("New York Investment Quality") were organized as Maryland corporations on April 12, 1993. The BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. ("Florida Investment Quality") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 15, 1993. BlackRock Municipal Income Trust ("Municipal Income"), BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust ("California Income"), BlackRock Florida Municipal Income Trust ("Florida Income"), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust ("New Jersey Income") and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust ("New York Income") (collectively the "Income Trusts") were organized as Delaware business trusts on March 30, 2001. Municipal Investment Quality and Municipal Income are registered as diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. California Investment Quality, California Income, Florida Investment Quality, Florida Income, New Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Income, New York Investment Quality and New York Income are registered as non-diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Municipal Investment Quality, California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality are herein referred to as the Investment Quality Trusts. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Trust to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a state, a specific industry or region. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts. SECURITIES VALUATION: Municipal securities (including commitments to purchase such securities on a "when-issued" basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trust's Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board"). In determining the value of a particular security, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such securities, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities. Short-term investments may be valued at amortized cost. Any securities or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, each Trust's Board. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Each Trust also records interest income on an accrual basis and amortizes premium and accretes discount to interest income on securities purchased using the interest method. SEGREGATION: In cases in which the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") require that each Trust segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when issued securities, reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts), each Trust 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. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Trust's intention to continue to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient net income to shareholders. For this reason and because substantially all of the gross income of each Trust consists of tax-exempt interest, no Federal income tax provisions are required. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Each Trust declares and pays dividends and distributions to common shareholders monthly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss carryforwards may be distributed annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 5. ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Under the revised deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust's Board on September 20, 2002, non-interested Directors/Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual compensation, and beginning on January 1, 2003 will be required to defer a portion of their annual compensation pursuant to the plan. Deferred amounts earn a return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock Trusts selected by the Directors/Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Directors/Trustees as if the Directors/Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such other BlackRock Trusts. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Directors/Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENT CLASSIFICATION FOR AMPS: In accordance with the provisions of EITF D-98, "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities," effective for the current period, the Trusts have reclassified its Auction Market Preferred Shares ("AMPS") out- 52 side of permanent equity in the net assets section of the statement of assets and liabilities. In addition, distributions to AMPS shareholders are now classified as a component of net assets resulting from operations on the statement of operations and changes in net assets and as a component of the investment operations in the financial highlights. Prior period amounts presented have been restated to conform to this period's presentation. This change has no impact on the net assets applicable to common shares of the Trusts. RECLASSIFICATION OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS: In order to present paid-in capital ("PIC"), undistributed (distribution in excess of) net investment income ("UNII") and accumulated net realized gain ("Accumulated Gain") more closely to its tax character the following accounts were increased (decreased): ACCUMULATED FUND PIC UNII GAIN ---- ------- -------- ----------- Municipal Investment Quality $ -- $(45,185) $ 45,185 Municipal Income (15,000) 15,000 -- California Investment Quality (504,389) (6,826) 511,215 California Income (15,000) 15,000 -- Florida Investment Quality (584,437) (4,068) 588,505 Florida Income (15,000) 15,000 -- New Jersey Investment Quality (554,124) (375) 554,499 New Jersey Income (15,000) 15,000 -- New York Investment Quality (430,522) -- 430,522 New York Income (29,753) 29,753 -- NOTE 2. AGREEMENTS Each Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to the Income Trusts. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The investment management agreement on the Income Trusts covers both investment advisory and administration services. Municipal Investment Quality has an Administration Agreement with Princeton Administrators, L.P. ("Princeton"), an indirect wholly owned affiliate of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. California Investment Quality, Florida Investment Quality, New Jersey Investment Quality and New York Investment Quality have Administration Agreements with Prudential Investments LLC ("PI"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. Each Trust's investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.35% for the Investment Quality Trusts and 0.60% for the Income Trusts, of the Trust's average weekly managed assets. "Managed assets" means the total assets of the Trust (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee or other expenses on the Income Trusts as a percentage of managed assets as follows: 0.25% for the first five years of each of the Trust's operations, 0.20% in year six, 0.15% in year seven, 0.10% in year eight and 0.05% in year nine. The investment advisory fee and waiver amount (if applicable) for each Trust for the periods ended October 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, were as follows:

A Trust may not declare dividends or make other distributions on common shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding preferred shares would be less than 200%. The preferred shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The preferred shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Trust, as set forth in each Trust's Declaration of Trust, are not satisfied. 55 The holders of preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of common shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of common shares as a single class. However, holders of preferred shares are also entitled to elect two Directors/Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding preferred shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the preferred shares and (b) take any action requiring a vote of security holders, including, among other things, changes in a Trust's sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or changes in its fundamental investment restrictions. NOTE 5. DIVIDENDS Subsequent to October 31, 2002, the Board of each Trust declared dividends from undistributed earnings per common share payable December 2, 2002, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2002.

56 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Trustees and Shareholders of: The BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc., The BlackRock California Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc., The BlackRock Florida Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc., The BlackRock New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc., The BlackRock New York Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc., BlackRock Municipal Income Trust, BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust, BlackRock Florida Municipal Income Trust, BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust (collectively the "Trusts"). We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2002, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years or periods then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or the periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, 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 referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trusts as of October 31, 2002, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Boston, Massachusetts December 6, 2002 57 DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES INFORMATION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

59 DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pursuant to each Trust's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), common shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (the "Plan Agent") in the respective Trust's shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. After an Investment Quality Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants' account, by the purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trust's primary exchange or elsewhere ("open market purchases"). The Investment Quality Trusts will not issue any new shares under the Plan. After an Income Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants' account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust ("newly issued shares") or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share ("NAV") is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as "market premium"), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant's account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as "market discount"), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open market purchases. Participants in the Plan may withdraw from the Plan upon written notice to the Plan Agent and will receive certificates for whole Trust shares and a cash payment for any fraction of a Trust share. The Plan Agent's fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent's open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions. Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan, however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 150 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021 or (800) 699-1BFM. 60 INVESTMENT SUMMARIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO MANAGES THE TRUSTS? BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") manages the Trusts. The Advisor is a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"), which is one of the largest publicly traded investment management firms in the United States with $246 billion of assets under management as of September 30, 2002. BlackRock manages assets on behalf of institutional and individual investors worldwide through a variety of equity, fixed income, liquidity and alternative investment products. In addition, BlackRock provides risk management and investment system services to a growing number of institutional investors under the BLACKROCK SOLUTIONS name. Clients are served from the company's headquarters in New York City, as well as offices in Boston, Edinburgh, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Tokyo and Wilmington. BlackRock is majority-owned by The PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC), and by BlackRock employees. HOW ARE THE TRUST'S SHARES PURCHASED AND SOLD? DOES THE TRUST PAY DIVIDENDS REGULARLY? The Trusts common shares are traded on either the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange both of which provide investors with liquidity on a daily basis. Orders to buy or sell shares of the Trusts must be placed through a registered broker or financial advisor. The Trusts pay monthly dividends which are typically paid on the first business day of the month. For shares held in the shareholder's name, dividends may be reinvested in additional shares of the respective Trust through its transfer agent, EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. Investors who wish to hold shares in a brokerage account should check with their financial advisor to determine whether their brokerage firm offers dividend reinvestment services. LEVERAGE CONSIDERATIONS IN THE TRUSTS The Trusts employ leverage primarily through the issuance of preferred shares. Leverage permits the Trusts to borrow money at short-term rates and reinvest that money in longer-term assets, which typically offer higher interest rates. The difference between the cost of the borrowed funds and the income earned on the proceeds that are invested in longer-term assets is the potential benefit to the Trusts from leverage. Leverage increases the duration (or price sensitivity of the net assets with respect to changes in interest rates) of the Trusts, which can improve the performance of the Trusts in a declining interest rate environment, but can cause net assets to decline faster in a rapidly rising interest rate environment. The Advisor's portfolio managers continuously monitor and regularly review each Trust's use of leverage and may reduce, or unwind, the amount of leverage employed should the Advisor consider that reduction to be in the best interests of the shareholders. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RISK FACTORS RELEVANT TO THE TRUSTS The Trusts are intended to be long-term investments and are not short-term trading vehicles. DIVIDEND CONSIDERATIONS. The income and dividends paid by the Trusts are likely to vary over time as fixed income market conditions change. Future dividends may be higher or lower than the dividends the Trusts are currently paying. LEVERAGE. The Trusts utilize leverage through the issuance of preferred shares, which involves special risks. The Trusts net asset value and market value may be more volatile due to the use of leverage. MARKET PRICE OF SHARES. The shares of closed-end investment companies such as the Trusts trade on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") and as such are subject to supply and demand influences. As a result, shares may trade at a discount or a premium to their net asset value. MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS. The value of municipal debt securities generally varies inversely with changes in prevailing market interest rates. Depending on the amount of call protection that the securities in a Trust have, a Trust may be subject to certain reinvestment risks in environments of declining interest rates. HIGH YIELD RISK. The Trusts may invest in high yield bonds, which involves additional risks, including credit risk. The value of high yield, lower quality bonds is affected by the creditworthiness of the issuers of the securities and by general economic and specific industry conditions. Issuers of high yield bonds are not as strong financially as those with higher credit ratings. A Trust's investment in lower grade securities will expose the Trust to greater risk than if the Trust owned only higher grade securities. ILLIQUID SECURITIES. The Trusts may invest in securities that are illiquid, although under current market conditions the Trusts expect to do so to only a limited extent. These securities involve special risks. ANTITAKEOVER PROVISIONS. Certain antitakeover provisions will make a change in a Trust's business or management more difficult without the approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees and may have the effect of depriving shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium above the prevailing market price. ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX (AMT). The Trusts may invest in securities subject to alternative minimum tax. 61 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL TRUST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Trust's investment objective is to provide high current income exempt from regular Federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital. WHAT CAN THE TRUST INVEST IN? Under normal conditions, the Trust expects to manage its assets so that at the time of investment, at least 80% of its investments are rated at least investment grade (BBB by Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's Investor Services) and up to 20% of its assets may instead be deemed to be of equivalent credit quality by the Advisor. Examples of the types of securities that the Trust may invest in include general obligation bonds, which are backed by the full taxing power of the municipality (states, counties and cities), and revenue bonds, which are backed by a revenue source associated with the issuing municipality or by a special tax. Revenue bonds include those that are backed by revenues generated by universities, hospitals, housing developments, utilities, public facilities, toll roads, airports, etc. WHAT IS THE ADVISOR'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY? The Advisor manages the assets of the Trust in accordance with the Trust's investment objective and policies by investing in municipal debt securities that are diversified both geographically and according to revenue source. As such, the Advisor actively manages the assets in relation to market conditions and interest rate changes. In seeking the investment objective, the Trust does not expect to invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipals that are issued by the same state. Depending on yield and portfolio allocation considerations, the Advisor may choose to invest a portion of the Trust's assets in securities which pay interest that is subject to AMT (alternative minimum tax). The Trust employs leverage primarily through the issuance of preferred stock. Preferred stockholders will receive dividends based on short-term rates in exchange for allowing the Trust to borrow additional assets. These assets will be invested in longer-term assets which typically offer higher interest rates. The difference between the cost of the dividends paid to preferred stockholders and the interest earned on the longer-term securities will provide higher income levels for common stockholders in most interest rate environments. See "Leverage Considerations in the Trusts". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKROCK MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Trust's investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular Federal income tax. WHAT CAN THE TRUST INVEST IN? Under normal conditions, the Trust expects to manage its assets so that at the time of investment, at least 80% of its investments are rated at least investment grade (BBB by Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's Investor Services) and up to 20% of its assets are rated below investment grade (Ba/BB or B) or that are unrated but deemed to be of comparable quality by the Advisor. WHAT IS THE ADVISOR'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY? The Advisor manages the assets of the Trust in accordance with the Trust's investment objective and policies by investing substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular Federal income tax. As such, the Advisor actively manages the assets in relation to market conditions and interest rate changes. Depending on yield and portfolio allocation considerations, the Advisor may choose to invest a portion of the Trust's assets in securities which pay interest that is subject to AMT (alternative minimum tax). The Trust intends to invest primarily in long-term bonds and expects bonds in its portfolio to maintain an average portfolio maturity of 15 years or more, but the average maturity may be shortened or lengthened from time to time depending on market conditions. The Trust employs leverage primarily through the issuance of preferred shares. Preferred shareholders will receive dividends based on short-term rates in exchange for allowing the Trust to borrow additional assets. These assets will be invested in longer-term assets which typically offer higher interest rates. The difference between the cost of the dividends paid to preferred shareholders and the interest earned on the longer-term securities will provide higher income levels for common shareholders in most interest rate environments.

WHAT CAN THE TRUST INVEST IN? Under normal conditions, the Trust expects to manage its assets so that at the time of investment, at least 80% of its investments are rated at least investment grade (BBB by Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's Investor Services) and up to 20% of its assets may instead be deemed to be of equivalent credit quality by the Advisor. The Trust intends to invest substantially all of the assets in a portfolio of investment grade California municipal obligations, which include debt obligations issued by or on behalf of California, its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and by other qualifying issuers that pay interest which, in the opinion of the bond counsel of the issuer, is exempt from regular Federal and California income taxes. California municipal obligations are issued to obtain funds for various public functions, including the construction of public facilities, the refinancing of outstanding obligations, the obtaining of funds for general operating expenses and for loans to other public institutions and facilities. WHAT IS THE ADVISOR'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY? The Advisor manages the assets of the Trust, in accordance with the Trust's investment objective and policies by investing in investment grade California Municipal Obligations or other qualifying issuers. As such, the Advisor actively manages the assets in relation to market conditions and interest rate changes. Depending on yield and portfolio allocation considerations, the Advisor may choose to invest a portion of the Trust's assets in securities which pay interest that is subject to AMT (alternative minimum tax). The Trust intends to emphasize investments in California municipal obligations with long-term maturities and expects to maintain an average portfolio maturity of 15-20 years, but the average maturity may be shortened or lengthened from time to time depending on market conditions. The Trust employs leverage primarily through the issuance of preferred stock. Preferred stockholders will receive dividends based on short-term rates in exchange for allowing the Trust to borrow additional assets.

WHAT CAN THE TRUST INVEST IN? Under normal conditions, the Trust expects to manage its assets so that at the time of investment, at least 80% of its investments are rated at least investment grade (BBB by Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's Investor Services) and up to 20% of its assets may instead be deemed to be of equivalent credit quality by the Advisor. The Trust intends to invest substantially all of the assets in a portfolio of investment grade New Jersey municipal obligations, which include debt obligations issued by or on behalf of New Jersey, its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and by other qualifying issuers that pay interest which, in the opinion of the bond counsel of the issuer, is exempt from regular Federal income taxes and New Jersey state income tax. New Jersey municipal obligations are issued to obtain funds for various public functions, including the construction of public facilities, the refinancing of outstanding obligations, the obtaining of funds for general operating expenses and for loans to other public institutions and facilities. WHAT IS THE ADVISOR'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY? The Advisor manages the assets of the Trust, in accordance with the Trust's investment objective and policies by investing in investment grade New Jersey Municipal Obligations or other qualifying issuers. As such, the Advisor actively manages the assets in relation to market conditions and interest rate changes. Depending on yield and portfolio allocation considerations, the Advisor may choose to invest a portion of The Trust's assets in securities which pay interest that is subject to AMT (alternative minimum tax). The Trust intends to emphasize investments in New Jersey municipal obligations with long-term maturities and expects to maintain an average portfolio maturity of 15-20 years, but the average maturity may be shortened or lengthened from time to time depending on market conditions. The Trust employs leverage primarily through the issuance of preferred stock. Preferred stockholders will receive dividends based on short-term rates in exchange for allowing the Trust to borrow additional assets. These assets will be invested in longer-term assets which typically offer higher interest rates. The difference between the cost of the dividends paid to preferred stockholders and the interest earned on the longer-term securities will provide higher income levels for common stockholders in most interest rate environments.

GLOSSARY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLOSED-END FUND: Investment vehicle which initially offers a fixed number of shares and trades on a stock exchange. Each Trust invests in a portfolio of securities in accordance with its stated investment objectives and policies. DISCOUNT: When a Trust's net asset value is greater than its market price, the Trust is said to be trading at a discount. DIVIDEND: Income generated by securities in a portfolio and distributed to shareholders after the deduction of expenses. Each Trust declares and pays dividends to common shareholders on a monthly basis. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT: Common shareholders may have all dividends and distributions of capital gains automatically reinvested into additional shares of their respective Trust. MARKET PRICE: Price per share of a security trading in the secondary market. For each Trust, this is the price at which one share of a Trust trades on the stock exchange. If you were to buy or sell shares, you would pay or receive the market price. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): Net asset value is the total market value of all securities and other assets held by a Trust, including income accrued on its investments, minus any liabilities including accrued expenses, divided by the total number of outstanding common shares. It is the underlying value of a single common share on a given day. Net asset value for each Trust is calculated weekly and published in BARRON'S on Saturday and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL on Monday. PREMIUM: When a Trust's market price is greater than its net asset value, the Trust is said to be trading at a premium. PREREFUNDED BONDS: These securities are collateralized by U.S. Government securities which are held in escrow and are used to pay principal and interest on the tax-exempt issue and to retire the bond in full at the date indicated, typically at a premium to par. 67 BlackRock Closed-End Funds Directors/Trustees Ralph L.
