NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Organization & Accounting Policies

The BlackRock Insured Municipal 2008 Term Trust Inc. (“Municipal Insured 2008”), The BlackRock Insured Municipal Term Trust Inc. (“Insured Municipal”), The BlackRock Municipal Target Term Trust Inc. (“Municipal Target”), The BlackRock California Insured Municipal 2008 Term Trust Inc. (“California Insured 2008”) and The BlackRock New York Insured Municipal 2008 Term Trust Inc. (“New York Insured 2008”) were organized as Maryland corporations. BlackRock Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“Municipal 2018”), BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust (“Municipal 2020”), The BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust (“Municipal Strategic”), BlackRock California Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“California 2018”), BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust (“Florida 2020”), BlackRock New York Municipal 2018 Term Trust (“New York 2018”) and The BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust (“Pennsylvania Strategic”) were organized as Delaware statutory trusts. The BlackRock Florida Insured Municipal 2008 Term Trust (“Florida Insured 2008”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Municipal Insured 2008, Insured Municipal, Municipal 2018, Municipal 2020, Municipal Target and Municipal Strategic are registered as diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. California Insured 2008, California 2018, Florida Insured 2008, Florida 2020, New York Insured 2008, New York 2018 and Pennsylvania Strategic are registered as non-diversified closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Municipal Insured 2008, California Insured 2008, Florida Insured 2008 and New York Insured 2008 are herein referred to as the 2008 Trusts. Municipal 2018, California 2018 and New York 2018 are herein referred to as the 2018 Trusts. Municipal 2020 and Florida 2020 are herein referred to as the 2020 Trusts. Municipal Strategic and Pennsylvania Strategic are herein referred to as the Strategic Trusts.

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts.

Investments Valuation: Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments 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 Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may be (each, a “Board”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. A futures contract is valued at the last sale price as of the close of the commodities exchange on which it trades. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Any investments or other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Value Assets”) as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, each Trust’s Board. The investment advisor and/or sub-advisor will submit its recommendations regarding the valuation and/or valuation methodologies for Fair Value Assets to a valuation committee. The valuation committee may accept, modify or reject any recommendations. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to and ratified by the Board.

     When determining the price for a Fair Value Asset, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that BlackRock Advisors, Inc. deems relevant.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment 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/or accretes discount on securities purchased using the interest method.

Financial Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument for a set price on a future date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trust’s basis in the contract.

     Financial futures contracts, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Futures contracts can be sold to effectively shorten an otherwise longer duration portfolio. In the same sense, futures contracts can be purchased to lengthen a portfolio that is shorter than its duration target. Thus, by buying or selling futures contracts, the Trusts may attempt to manage the duration of positions so that changes in interest rates do not change the duration of the portfolio unexpectedly.

Segregation: In cases in which the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) require that each Trust segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities or futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the Commission, 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. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 4.

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.

79


Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by the Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”) are required to defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock closed-end trusts selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such 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 Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts: In order to present 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 for each Trust were increased (decreased):

        Accumulated               Accumulated 
Trust    UNII     Gain     Trust      UNII       Gain 













Municipal Insured 2008    $ 137,623     $ (137,623 )    California 2018    $     $

Note 2. Agreements

     Each Trust has an Investment Management 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 2018 Trusts and 2020 Trusts. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The Investment Management Agreements for the 2018 Trusts, 2020 Trusts and Strategic Trusts cover both investment advisory and administration services. Each 2008 Trust, Insured Municipal Trust and Municipal Target Trust has an Administration Agreement with the Advisor.

     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 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal Trust and Municipal Target Trust, 0.40% for the 2018 Trusts, 0.50% for the 2020 Trusts and 0.60% for the Strategic Trusts, of the Trust’s average weekly managed assets. “Managed assets” means the total assets of a 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 Strategic 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 administration fee paid to the Advisor by the 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal Trust and Municipal Trust is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.10% for each 2008 Trust and Insured Municipal Trust and 0.07% for Municipal Target Trust, of the Trusts’ average weekly managed assets.

     Pursuant to the agreements, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolio and pays the compensation of officers of each Trust who are affiliated persons of the Advisor, as well as occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of each Trust. Each Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for costs of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support and compliance services to each Trust. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Trusts reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts:

Trust    Amount    Trust    Amount 




Municipal Insured 2008    $30,012    California 2018    $7,016 
Insured Municipal    19,962    Florida Insured 2008    9,194 
Municipal 2018    15,452    Florida 2020    5,124 
Municipal 2020    16,536    New York Insured 2008    13,385 
Municipal Target    35,136    New York 2018    3,656 
Municipal Strategic    7,518    Pennsylvania Strategic    988 
California Insured 2008    12,010         

     Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, each Trust received earning credits from its custodian for positive cash balances maintained, which are used to offset custody fees.

     Dividends on 7-day preferred shares are cumulative at a rate which is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. Dividends on 28-day preferred shares are cumulative at a rate which is reset every 28 days based on the results of an auction. The dividend ranges on the preferred shares for each of the Trusts for the year ended December 31, 2004 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/Articles Supplementary, are not satisfied.

     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, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Directors/Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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, (b) change a Trust’s sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company.

Note 6. Dividends

     Subsequent to December 31, 2004, the Board of each Trust declared dividends from undistributed earnings per common share payable February 1, 2005, to shareholders of record on January 4, 2005. The per share common dividends declared were:

Note 7. Subsequent Event

     On February 7, 2005, Municipal Target Trust’s Board approved the redemption of all of the 3,000 W28 preferred shares outstanding in preparation for its termination on or about December 31, 2006. The shares will be redeemed at a price of $25,000 per share (an aggregate price of $75,000,000) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date on March 10, 2005. Management believes that the redemption of the W28 preferred shares will not affect the Municipal Target Trust’s ability to satisfy the terms of the remaining preferred shares outstanding.

   BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust
   (Collectively the “Trusts”)

     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Trusts as of December 31, 2004, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS

     Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), common shareholders of the 2008 Trusts, Insured Municipal and Municipal Target may elect, while the common shareholders of the 2018 Trusts, 2020 Trusts and Strategic Trusts 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 do not 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 a 2008 Trust, Insured Municipal, 2018 Trust, 2020 Trust and/or Municipal Target 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”). These Trusts will not issue any new shares under the Plan.

     After a Strategic 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 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.

     Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.

     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. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, or by calling (800) 699-1BFM.

You may obtain a copy of these proxy voting policies and procedures, without charge, by calling (800) 699-1BFM. These policies and procedures are also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) at http://www.sec.gov.

(e)       Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.       
           (1) The Registrant has polices and procedures (the "Policy") for the pre-approval by the Registrant's Audit Committee of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Services (as each is defined in the Policy) provided by the Trust's independent auditor (the "Independent Auditor") to the Registrant and other "Covered Entities" (as defined below). The term of any such pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The amount of any such pre-approval is set forth in the appendices to the Policy (the "Service Pre-Approval Documents"). At its first meeting of each calendar year, the Audit Committee will review and re-approve the Policy and approve or re-approve the Service Pre-Approval Documents for that year, together with any changes deemed necessary or desirable by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, from time to time, modify the nature of the services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees pre-approved or both.

           For the purposes of the Policy, "Covered Services" means (A) all engagements for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Independent Auditor to the Trust and (B) all engagements for non-audit services related directly to the operations and financial reporting or the Trust to be provided by the Independent Auditor to any Covered Entity, "Covered Entities" means (1) the Advisor or (2) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Trust.

           In the intervals between the scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority under this Policy to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (the "Chairman"). The Chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions under this Policy to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. At each scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee will review with the Independent Auditor the Covered Services pre-approved by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority, if any, and the fees related thereto. Based on these reviews, the Audit Committee can modify, at its discretion, the pre-approval originally granted by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority. This modification can be to the nature of services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees approved, or both. Pre-approval of Covered Services by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority is expected to be the exception rather than the rule and the

2


Audit Committee may modify or withdraw this delegated authority at any time the Audit Committee determines that it is appropriate to do so.

           Fee levels for all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditor and pre-approved under this Policy will be established annually by the Audit Committee and set forth in the Service Pre-Approval Documents. Any increase in pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

     The terms and fees of the annual Audit services engagement for the Trust are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions or fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Trust structure or other matters.

           In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, any other Audit services for the Trust not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

           Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are not required for the audit, but are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements of the Registrant and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the other Covered Entities (as defined in the Joint Audit Committee Charter) or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditor. Audit-Related services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

           The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditor can provide Tax services to the Covered Entities such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Independent Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Tax services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

           All Other services that are covered and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

           Requests or applications to provide Covered Services that require approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) must be submitted to the Audit Committee or the Chairman, as the case may be, by both the Independent Auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the respective Covered Entity, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, (a) the request or application is consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on auditor independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. A request or application submitted to the Chairman between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should include a discussion as to why approval is being sought prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.

           (2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f)      Not applicable.

(g)      The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Trust's accountant for services rendered to the Trust, the Advisor (except for any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant that directly impacted the Trust for each of the last two fiscal years were $11,300 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and $17,200 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

(h)      Not applicable.
