Dear Shareholder The global economy is continuing to slowly improve, with the United States and emerging markets leading the way; however global and US economic statistics show that the pace of economic growth has trailed off in recent months. Market volatility has remained elevated over the past several months as investors remain uncertain about the future direction of economic growth. The sovereign debt crisis in Europe, slowing growth in China and concerns over the possibility that the United States and other developed markets are heading for a double-dip recession have all acted to depress investor sentiment. It is our view that the recent soft patch of economic data is just that a slowdown in the pace of recovery and not an indication that the economy is sliding back into recession. In the United States, we expect to see slightly slower economic growth over the next several quarters; however, true double-dip recessions are quite rare, and unless there is a major shock to the economy, we believe the recovery will continue. Global equity markets have moved unevenly higher since bottoming out in early 2009 as investors were enticed by depressed valuations, improved corp- orate earnings, and their desire for higher yields. Several significant downturns, however, have occurred primarily as a result of mixed economic data and concerns about the possibility of prolonged deflation (especially in Europe). As the period drew to a close, equity markets were staging a muted recovery. On a 12-month basis global equities were still showing positive returns thanks to improving corporate revenues and profits and a reasonably strong macro backdrop. From a geographic perspective, US equities have significantly outpaced their international counterparts over the past six and twelve months, as the domestic economic recovery has been more pronounced and credit-related issues have held European markets down. Within the United States, smaller cap stocks have outperformed large caps year-to-date. In fixed income markets, yields have fluctuated significantly over the past year as economic data has been mixed. Over recent months, risk aversion and credit issues kept interest rates low and US Treasury yields have fallen significantly as investors favored safe haven assets. As the period drew to a close, higher-risk fixed income assets performed well due to strong earnings announcements and better-than-expected results on European bank stress tests. Meanwhile, tax-exempt municipal bonds slightly outperformed US investment grade bonds on a 12-month basis, but underperformed year-to-date as investors rotated to the relative safety of Treasuries. Regarding cash investments, yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows (producing returns only marginally above zero percent), with the Federal Open Market Committee reiterating that economic circumstances are likely to necessitate an accommodative interest rate stance for an extended period.
| Against this backdrop, the major market averages posted the following returns: — Total Returns as of July 31, 2010 | 6-month | 12-month |
|---|---|---|
| US large cap equities (S&P 500 Index) | 3.61% | 13.84% |
| US small cap equities (Russell 2000 Index) | 8.79 | 18.43 |
| International equities (MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East Index) | (0.62) | 6.26 |
| 3-month Treasury bill (BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill Index) | 0.06 | 0.16 |
| US Treasury securities (BofA Merrill Lynch 10-Year US Treasury Index) | 7.67 | 8.34 |
| US investment grade bonds (Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index) | 4.85 | 8.91 |
| Tax-exempt municipal bonds (Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index) | 4.06 | 9.15 |
| US high yield bonds (Barclays Capital US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index) | 6.72 | 23.69 |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Index performance shown for illustrative purposes only. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund Summary as of July 31, 2010
BlackRock MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc.
Fund Overview BlackRock MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc.s (MUC) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal and California income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in municipal obligations exempt from fed- eral income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and California income taxes. Under normal market condi- tions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in investment grade municipal obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more at the time of investment that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the 12 months ended July 31, 2010, the Fund returned 22.40% based on market price, and 16.96% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 21.26% based on market price, and 14.03% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The performance of the Lipper category does not necessarily correlate to that of the Fund, as the Lipper group is comprised of funds representing various states and not California alone. The Fund's discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on market price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund maintains a relatively generous degree of coupon interest income from its securities holdings, which was a positive factor. The tight- ening of credit quality spreads in the uninsured basket of the Funds holdings also aided results. A fully-invested and slightly longer relative duration posture were additive too, as rates declined over the period. Throughout this period, the municipal market benefited from the Build America Bond Program, which effectively moved supply to the taxable market and, thus, alleviated supply pressure in the tax-exempt space. Managements focus on the quality of under- lying credits while the market placed less value on monoline insurance also aided relative performance. However, downgrades of monoline insurers had a negative impact on performance in all funds that invest in bonds utilizing insurance wraps. Secondary market demand for insured municipals weakened, resulting in limited liquidity and widening spreads on insured bonds. Cash reserves held in the Fund during the period also detracted from performance, as cash underperformed longer maturity coupon bonds in an environment of falling rates and tightening spreads. The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc.
Fund Overview BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc.s (MUJ) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey personal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in long-term, investment grade municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and New Jersey personal income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the 12 months ended July 31, 2010, the Fund returned 19.37% based on market price, and 11.95% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 21.26% based on market price, and 14.03% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The performance of the Lipper category does not necessarily correlate to that of the Fund, as the Lipper group is comprised of funds representing various states and not New Jersey alone. The Fund's discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the dif- ference between performance based on market price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. While the Fund benefited from increasing bond prices in the declining interest rate environment, its exposure to pre-refunded and escrowed issues detracted from performance as their shorter maturity structure limited their upward price movement. The Fund benefited from its allocation to the health sector, which per- formed well during the period. Positive investment income coupled with a low cost of leverage enabled the Fund to increase its dividend in 2010.

BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Fund
Fund Overview BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Funds (MFT) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to achieve its invest- ment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal obligations that are investment grade quality at the time of investment and at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely pay- ment of principal at maturity and interest when due. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the 12 months ended July 31, 2010, the Fund returned 28.72% based on market price, and 14.99% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed- end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 24.23% based on market price, and 15.41% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on market price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Funds holdings of Florida issues detracted from performance during the period as Florida underperformed the national market. The Fund continues to seek to reduce its exposure to Florida, however, this transition is prolonged due to the lack of availability in the national insured market and the limited liquidity of some of the Funds Florida holdings. On the positive side, the Fund held health, utilities and housing bonds with maturities of 20 years and longer, which benefited performance as the municipal yield curve flattened over the last 12 months. The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Fund Summary as of July 31, 2010
BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Fund
Fund Overview BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Funds (MPA) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and Pennsylvania income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal obligations that are investment grade quality at the time of investment and at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the 12 months ended July 31, 2010, the Fund returned 25.70% based on market price, and 14.18% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed- end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 21.26% based on market price, and 14.03% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The performance of the Lipper category does not necessarily correlate to that of the Fund, as the Lipper group is comprised of funds representing various states and not Pennsylvania alone. The Fund's discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on market price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund benefited from its increased exposure to interest rate-sensitive bonds as tax-exempt, 30-year interest rates rallied 70 basis points (0.70%) lower over the period. Broader market recognition of the value of tightly held issuers also had a positive impact on performance as valuations on such holdings were pushed higher. Detracting from performance was the Funds exposure to zero-coupon bonds, which remained out of favor with investors and underperformed current coupon bonds throughout the period. The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments. To leverage, the Funds issue Preferred Shares, which pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be based on short-term interest rates, which normally will be lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio invest- ments, each Funds Common Shareholders will benefit from the incre- mental net income. To illustrate these concepts, assume a Funds Common Shares capital- ization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Fund pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Fund with assets received from the Preferred Shares issuance earn income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than the income earned on the Funds long-term investments, and therefore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremen- tal net income. If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short- term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if pervailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of 6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Fund pays divi- dends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Funds total port- folio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates. Furthermore, the value of the Funds portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption value of the Funds Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Funds NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Fund performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above. The Funds may also leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond (TOB) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Funds with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Funds, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Funds NAV per share. The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased returns to the Funds and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will gen- erally cause greater changes in the Funds NAV, market price and dividend rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Funds net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, the Funds net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount avail- able for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at dis- tressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Funds ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies that rate preferred shares issued by the Funds. Each Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are permitted to issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50% of their total managed assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Fund anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such leverage is incurred. As of July 31, 2010, the Funds had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:
| Percent of | |
|---|---|
| Leverage | |
| MUC | 42% |
| MUJ | 37% |
| MFT | 38% |
| MIY | 37% |
| MJI | 34% |
| MPA | 37% |
Derivative Financial Instruments The Funds may invest in various derivative instruments, including finan- cial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instru- ments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative instrument. Each Funds ability to successfully use a derivative
instrument depends on the investment advisors ability to accurately pre- dict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appre- ciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Fund to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. The Funds investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies: BlackRock MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc. (MUC), BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Fund, Inc. (MUJ), BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Fund (MFT), BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. (MIY), BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. (MJI) and BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Fund (MPA) (collectively, the Funds or individually, as a Fund), are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies. MUC, MUJ, MIY and MJI are organized as Maryland corporations. MFT and MPA are organized as Massachusetts business trusts. The Funds financial statements are pre- pared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds determine and make available for publication the net asset values of their Common Shares on a daily basis. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds: Valuation: The Funds fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by each Funds Board of Directors/Trustees (the Board). Municipal invest- ments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a when- issued basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various rela- tionships between investments. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment compa- nies are valued at net asset value each business day. In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value ("Fair Value Assets"). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the cur- rent sale of that asset in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determina- tions shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof. Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such trans- actions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into
a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed deliv- ery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the secu- rity, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Funds' maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown on the Schedules of Investments, if any. Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Funds leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (TOBs). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of the funds, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Fund has con- tributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (TOB Residuals), which are generally issued to the participating funds that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right of a Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the short-term floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, including during instances of a rise in short-term interest rates, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to a Fund. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of a Fund upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors. The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund, which typically invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Each Fund's transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, there- fore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Funds' Schedules of Investments and the proceeds from the issuance of the short-term floating rate certificates are shown as trust certificates in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by the Funds on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense and fees in the Statements of Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At July 31, 2010, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for trust certificates were as follows:

| MUC | $350,364,211 | $181,854,633 | 0.25% 0.30% |
| MUJ | $ 22,639,966 | $ 13,262,930 | 0.27% 0.34% |
| MFT | $ 31,794,594 | $ 16,200,287 | 0.27% 0.43% |

| MJI | $ 8,090,834 | $ 4,684,369 | 0.27% 0.34% |
| MPA | $ 78,585,254 | $ 38,445,136 | 0.28% 0.48% |
For the year ended July 31, 2010, the Funds' average trust certificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate, including fees, were as follows:
| Average Trust | Daily Weighted | |
|---|---|---|
| Certificates | Average | |
| Outstanding | Interest Rate | |
| MUC | $109,166,909 | 0.74% |
| MUJ | $ 13,262,930 | 0.72% |
| MFT | $ 14,941,501 | 0.76% |
| MIY | $ 16,190,000 | 0.70% |
| MJI | $ 4,684,369 | 0.72% |
| MPA | $ 29,911,366 | 0.83% |
Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds' investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Funds' net investment income and distributions to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market values of munici- pal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Funds' net asset values per share. Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments. Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) require that the Funds either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts) each Fund will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has require- ments to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments. Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the trans- actions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of dividends and distri- butions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Dividends and distributions to Preferred Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 7. Income Taxes: It is each Fund's 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 its 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 limita- tions on the Funds US federal tax returns remains open for the year ended July 31, 2010, the period ended July 31, 2009 and for each of the two years ended June 30, 2009 for MUC, for each of the four years ended July 31, 2010 for MUJ and for each of the two years ended July 31, 2010, and the period ended July 31, 2008 and for the year ended October 31, 2007 for MFT, MIY, MJI and MPA. The statutes of limitations on the Funds 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. Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Fund's Board, non-interested Directors (Independent Directors) may 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 certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent Directors had invested the deferred amounts directly in other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Fund. Each Fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover each Funds deferred compensation liability, if any, are included in other assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income affiliated in the Statements of Operations. Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to the Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applica- ble, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. Derivative Financial Instruments: The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavor- able change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is minimal because of the protection against defaults by the exchange on which they trade. Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the
broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of finan- cial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

Capital Share Transactions: MFT and MPA are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.10 per share together with 1 million Preferred Shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.05 per share. Each Funds Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares of Common Shares without approval of Common Shareholders. MUC, MUJ, MIY, and MJI are authorized to issue 200 million shares, includ- ing Preferred Shares, par value $0.10 per share or $0.05 per share, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. Each Funds Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares of Common Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) For MFT, shares issued and outstanding increased by 5,456 as a result of reinvestment of dividends during the year ended July 31, 2010, and remained constant during the year ended July 31, 2009. For MJI, shares issued and outstanding increased by 15,316 as a result of reinvestment of dividends and distributions during the year ended July 31, 2010, and remained constant during the year ended July 31, 2009. Preferred Shares The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Fund, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Fund, as set forth in each Fund's Articles of Amendment/Statement of Preferences (the Governing Instrument) are not satisfied. From time to time in the future, each Fund may effect repurchases of its Preferred Shares at prices below their liquidation preference as agreed upon by the Fund and seller. Each Fund also may redeem its Preferred Shares from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing Instrument. Each Fund intends to effect such redemptions and/or repur- chases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine. 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 (one vote per share) as a single class. However, the holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Directors for each Fund. In addition, the 1940 Act 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 Funds' 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. The Funds had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding, effective yields and reset frequency as of July 31, 2010:

1 The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. 2 The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher of 110% plus or times (i) the Telerate/BAA LIBOR or (ii) 90% of Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.
Dividends on seven-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate, which is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction date, each Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on all series of Preferred Shares is the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 100% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. The low, high and average dividend rates on the Preferred Shares for each Fund for the year ended July 31, 2010 were as follows:
| Series | Low | High | Average | |

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of the Funds failed to clear any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.24% to 1.63% for the year ended July 31, 2010. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Funds but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) a Fund's auction rate preferred shares than buyers. It is impossible to pre- dict how long this imbalance will last. A successful auction for the Funds' Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, holders of the Preferred Shares may not have the ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference. The Funds 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 is less than 200%. The Funds pay commissions of 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions and 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that fail to clear their auctions. Certain broker dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions for failed auctions. During the year ended July 31, 2009, certain Funds announced the follow- ing redemptions of Preferred Shares at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date:
| Series | Redemption — Date | Shares — Redeemed | Aggregate — Principal | |

| MUC | A | 7/07/09 | 164 | $4,100,000 |

The Funds financed the Preferred Share redemptions with cash received from TOB transactions. Preferred Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for the year ended July 31, 2010 for all Funds. 8. Restatement Information: During the year ended October 31, 2006 MIY determined that the criteria for sale accounting under US GAAP had not been met for certain transfers of municipal bonds related to investments in TOB Residuals, and that these transfers should have been accounted for as secured borrowings rather than as sales. As a result, certain financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2005 for MIY have been restated to give effect to recording the transfers of the municipal bonds as secured borrowings, including recording interest on the bonds as interest income and interest on the secured borrowings as interest expense.
| Financial Highlights for MIY | Previously | |
|---|---|---|
| Year Ended October 31, 2005 | Reported | Restated |
| Total expenses 1 | 1.10% | 1.42% |
| Total expenses after fees waived 1 | 1.10% | 1.42% |

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. for the year ended October 31, 2005 (before the restatement described in Note 8) were audited by other auditors whose report, dated December 9, 2005, expressed a qualified opinion on the financial highlights because of the errors described in Note 8. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial report- ing. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds 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 signifi- cant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2010, by correspondence with the cus- todians 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 BlackRock MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc. as of July 31, 2010, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended, the period July 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009 and the year ended June 30, 2009, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additionally, in our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Fund, the results of their operations for the year then ended, 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.

We also have audited the adjustments, applied by management, to restate certain financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2005 for BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. (the Fund) to correct the errors described in Note 8. These adjustments are the responsibility of the Funds management.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees, as the case may be (each, a Board, and, collectively, the "Boards," and the members of which are referred to as "Board Members") of each of BlackRock MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc. (MUC), BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. (MUJ), BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Fund (MFT), BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. (MIY), BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. (MJI) and BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Fund (MPA and, together with MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY and MJI, each a Fund, and, collectively, the Funds) met on April 8, 2010 and May 13-14, 2010 to consider the approval of each Funds investment advisory agreement (each, an Advisory Agreement) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the Manager), each Funds investment advisor. Each Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (each, a Sub-Advisory Agreement) between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the Sub-Advisor) with respect to its Fund. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as BlackRock. The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the Agreements. Activities and Composition of the Board The Board of each Fund consists of ten individuals, eight of whom are not interested persons of such Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Board Members). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of each Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of invest- ment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Boards is an Independent Board Member. The Boards have established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight 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 an Independent Board Member. The Boards also have two ad hoc committees, the Joint Product Pricing Committee, which consists of Independent Board Members and the directors/trustees of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who are not interested per- sons of their respective funds, and the Ad Hoc Committee on Auction Market Preferred Shares. The Agreements Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to consider the contin- uation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Boards 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, admin- istrative 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, each Board, acting directly and through its committees, considered 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 respective Fund and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as appli- cable, 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 a Funds peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund for services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) each Funds operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to each Funds investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) each Funds compliance with its Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services pro- vided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRocks and other service providers internal controls; (h) BlackRocks implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Boards; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRocks implementation of each Funds valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of contractual and actual management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; and (l) periodic updates on BlackRocks business. Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements The Approval Process: Prior to the April 8, 2010 meeting, the Boards requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Boards are engaged in a process with BlackRock to periodically review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist their 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 perform- ance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper and a customized peer group selected by BlackRock, as app- licable (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 and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates; (d) the impact of economies of scale;
(e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock and (f) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock
closed-end funds, as classified by Lipper. At an in-person meeting held on April 8, 2010, the Boards reviewed mat- erials relating to their consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 8, 2010 meeting, the Boards presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional informa- tion and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 13 14, 2010 Board meeting.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (continued)
At an in-person meeting held on May 13 14, 2010, each Funds Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and each respective 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 Boards 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 each Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members. The Boards also considered other matters they deemed important to the approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing of each Funds portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with each Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Boards review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards 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 Boards, 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 Boards compared each Funds performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, and the perform- ance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRocks sen- ior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Boards also reviewed the materials pro- vided by each Funds portfolio management team discussing each Funds performance and each Funds investment objective, strategies and outlook. The Boards considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRocks investment personnel generally and each Funds portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRocks portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRocks use of technology, BlackRocks commitment to compliance, BlackRocks credit analysis capabilities, BlackRocks risk analysis capabili- ties and BlackRocks approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Boards also reviewed a general description of BlackRocks compensation structure with respect to each Funds portfolio management team and BlackRocks ability to attract and retain high-quality talent. In addition to advisory services, the Boards considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide each Fund with certain administrative and other services (in addition to any such services provided to each Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund.
In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional infor- mation in connection with the initial public offering and periodic share- holder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of each Fund; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock ex- changes; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; and (viii) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of each Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRocks fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRocks policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund. In preparation for the April 8, 2010 meeting, the Boards were provided with reports, independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Funds perform- ance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various fac- tors that affect Lippers rankings. In connection with their review, the Boards received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in each Funds applicable Lipper category and in the case of MUC, as customized peer group selected by BlackRock. The Boards were provided with a description of the methodol- ogy used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Boards regularly review the performance of each Fund throughout the year. The Board of MUC noted that MUC performed below the median of its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite in the one- and three-year periods reported, but that MUC performed better than or equal to the median of its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite in the five-year period reported. The Board of MUC and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for MUCs underperformance during the one- and three-year periods compared with its Peers. The Board of MUC was informed that, among other things, performance detractors for MUC have included exposure to lesser rated underlying holdings and specific exposure to zero coupon structures. The Board of MUJ noted that, in general, MUJ performed better than its Peers in that MJUs performance was at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in two of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board of MFT noted that MFT performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board of MFT and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for MFTs underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of MFT was informed that, among other things, while MFTs management

team has reduced MFTs Florida exposure, MFT remains over-weighted in Florida holdings versus its Peers, which has hindered MFTs performance, as the state of Florida continues to have budget deficit concerns and a very weak housing market. The Board of MFT and BlackRock discussed BlackRocks strategy for improving MFTs performance and BlackRocks commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist MFTs portfolio managers and to improve MFT's performance, in part through the repositioning of MFTs portfolio. The Board of MIY noted that MIY performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in the one- and five-year periods reported, but that MIY performed better than or equal to the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in the three-year period reported. The Board of MIY and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for MIYs underperformance during the one- and five-year periods compared with its Peers. The Board of MIY was informed that, among other things, performance is measured against single state insured municipal debt funds and that MIYs Lipper Performance Composite is heavily weighted with New York and California funds. Additionally, the Board of MIY was informed that the Michigan economy has suffered greatly leading to a lower overall credit outlook. The Board of MJI noted that MJI performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in the one- and five-year periods reported, but that MJI performed better than or equal to the median of its Lipper Per- formance Composite in the three-year period reported. The Board of MJI and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for MJIs underperformance during the one- and five-year periods compared with its Peers. The Board of MJI was informed that, among other things, MJIs performance was impacted by a neutral duration posture in a declining rate environment as well as its sector weighting to water & sewer and transportation, which were under- performing sectors over the past year. Additionally, opportunities to alter sector allocations are few as issuance of insured bonds has been very limited over the past several years. The Board of MPA noted that MPA performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board of MPA and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for MPAs underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of MPA was informed that, among other things, despite a recent dividend increase, MPAs relative distribution yield continues to have a negative impact on performance. The Boards of MUC, MIY, MJI and MPA and BlackRock discussed BlackRocks strategy for improving each respective Funds performance and BlackRocks commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist each Funds portfolio managers and to improve each Funds performance. The Boards noted that BlackRock has made changes to the organization of the overall fixed income group management structure designed to result in a strengthened leadership team with clearer accountability.
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 the Funds: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Funds contractual advisory fee rate compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. The Boards also compared each Funds total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The Boards 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 Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRocks financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided each Fund. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Boards reviewed BlackRocks prof- itability with respect to each Fund and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Boards reviewed BlackRocks profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed BlackRocks assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards 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 Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profita- bility of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information was available, the Boards considered BlackRocks overall operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising closed- 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 com- petitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRocks 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 Boards considered the cost of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRocks and its affiliates profits relating to the management and distribution of each Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of their analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRocks methodology in allocating its costs to the manage- ment of each Fund. The Boards 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 Boards.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (concluded)
The Board of each Fund noted that its Funds contractual management fee rate was lower than or equal to the median contractual management fee rate paid by the Funds Peers, in each case, before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. D. Economies of Scale: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of each Fund increase. The Boards 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 each Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of each Fund. The Boards noted that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering and each fund is man- aged independently consistent with its own investment objectives. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its fee structure. Information provided by Lipper also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex with total closed-end fund nets assets exceeding $10 billion, as of December 31, 2009, used a complex level breakpoint structure. E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Boards, 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 BlackRocks ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRocks profile in the investment advisory community, and the engage- ment of BlackRocks affiliates and significant shareholders as service providers to each Fund, including for administrative and distribution serv- ices. The Boards also considered BlackRocks overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund trans- actions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Boards further noted that BlackRock completed the acquisition of a complex of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on December 1, 2009, and that BlackRocks 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 Boards also received information regarding BlackRocks brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year. The Boards noted the competitive nature of the closed-end fund market- place, and that shareholders are able to sell their respective Funds shares in the secondary market if they believe that the Funds fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Conclusion The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and 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. As part of its approval, each Board considered the discussions of BlackRocks fee structure, as it applies to its respective Fund, being conducted by the ad hoc Joint Product Pricing Committee. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Boards, including the Independent Board Members, were 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 Boards 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 det- ermination. 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.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan Pursuant to each Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan), common shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of divi- dends and capital gains reinvested by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services for MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY and MJI and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. for MPA (individually, the Plan Agent or together, the Plan Agents) in the respective Funds 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 the Funds declare a dividend or determine to make a capital gain dis- tribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants accounts, depending upon the following circumstances, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Fund (newly issued shares) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market or on the Funds primary exchange (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 condi- tion often referred to as a 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 participants 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 often referred to as a market discount), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases. If the Plan Agents are unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market pre- mium during the purchase period, the Plan Agents will invest any un- invested portion in newly issued shares.
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 Agents fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agents 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 Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through Computershare Trust Company, N.A. are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. Participants that request a sale of shares through BNY Mellon Shareowner Services are subject to a $0.02 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence con- cerning the Plan should be directed to the respective Plan Agent: BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.0. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252- 8035, Telephone: (866) 216-0242 for shareholders of MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY and MJI or Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, Telephone: (800) 699-1BFM or overnight correspondence should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021 for shareholders of MPA.

Additional Information Board Approvals
On September 1, 2010, the Board of Directors (the Boards) of MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY, MJI and MPA (the Funds) have approved changes to cer- tain investment policies of the Funds. Historically, under normal market conditions, each Fund has been required to invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds either (i) insured under an insurance policy purchased by the Fund or (ii) insured under an insurance policy obtained by the issuer of the municipal bond or any other party. In September 2008, the Funds adopted an amended investment pol- icy of purchasing only municipal bonds insured by insurance providers with claims-paying abilities rated investment grade at the time of investment (the Insurance Policy). Following the onset of the credit and liquidity crises, the claims-paying abil- ity rating of most of the municipal bond insurance providers has been low- ered by the rating agencies. These downgrades have called into question the long-term viability of the municipal bond insurance market, which has the potential to severely limit the ability of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Manager"), to manage the Funds under the Insurance Policy. As a result, on September 1, 2010, the Manager recommended, and the Boards approved, the removal of the Insurance Policy. As a result of this investment policy change, the Funds would not be required to dispose of assets currently held within the Funds. The Funds will maintain, and have no current intention to amend, their investment policy of, under normal market conditions, generally investing in municipal obligations rated invest- ment grade at the time of investment. As each Fund increases the amount of its assets that are invested in municipal obligations that are not insured, the Funds shareholders will be exposed to the risk of the failure of such securities issuers to pay interest and repay principal and will not have the benefit of protection provided
under municipal bond insurance policies. As a result, shareholders will be more dependent on the analytical ability of the Manager to evaluate the credit quality of issuers of municipal obligations in which the Fund invests. The Boards believe that the amended investment policy is in the best inter- ests of each Fund and its shareholders because it believes that the poten- tial benefits from increased flexibility outweigh the potential increase in risk from the lack of insurance policies provided by weakened insurance providers. Of course, the new investment policy cannot assure that each Fund will achieve its investment objective. As disclosed in each Fund's prospectus, each Fund is required to provide shareholders 60 days notice of a change to the Insurance Policy. Accordingly, a notice describing the changes discussed above was mailed to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2010. The new investment policy is expected to take effect on November 9, 2010. After the amended policy takes effect, the Manager anticipates that it will gradually reposition each Fund's portfolios over time, and that during such period, each Fund may continue to hold a substantial portion of its assets in insured munici- pal bonds. At this time, it is uncertain how long it may take to reposition each Fund's portfolio once the amended policy takes effect, and the Funds may continue to be subject to risks associated with investing a substantial portion of their assets in insured municipal bonds until the repositioning is complete. No action is required by shareholders of the Funds in connection with this change. In connection with this change in non-fundamental policy, each of the Funds will undergo a name change to reflect its new portfolio characteris- tics. The new names of the Funds will be announced at or prior to the expi- ration of the 60-day notice period. Each Fund will continue to trade on New York Stock Exchange under its current ticker symbol. The approved changes will not alter any Fund's investment objective.
Dividend Policy
The Funds dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to pro- vide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Trusts may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to
net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Trusts for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Funds during such month. The Funds current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which com- prises part of the financial information included in this report.
General Information
On June 10, 2010, BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the Trusts investment advisor (the Manager), announced that MUJ and MIY each received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of common shareholders of MUJ and MIY. The demand letters allege that the Manager and officers and Boards of Directors (the Boards) of MUJ and MIY breached their fiduciary duties by redeeming at par certain of MUJ and MIYs Preferred Shares, and demanded that the Boards take action to remedy those alleged breaches. In response to the demand letter, the Boards established a Demand Review Committee (the Committee) of the independent Directors to investigate the claims made in the demand letters with the assistance of independent counsel. Based upon its investigation, the Committee recom- mended that the Boards reject the demand specified in the demand let- ters. After reviewing the findings of the Committee, the Board for each Fund unanimously adopted the Committees recommendation and unanimously voted to reject the demand.

1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements not included in Audit Fees. 2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. 3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.
(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: The registrants audit committee (the Committee) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre- approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrants affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SECs auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (general pre-approval). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels. Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre- approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels. (e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Item 7 Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies The board of directors has delegated the voting of proxies for the Fund securities to the Funds investment adviser (Investment Adviser) pursuant to the Investment Advisers proxy voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund securities in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Funds stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser, on the other. In such event, provided that the Investment Advisers Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the Oversight Committee) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Advisers clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Advisers Portfolio Management Group and/or the Investment Advisers Legal
$$/page=
and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in its clients best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Funds Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the SECs website at http://www.sec.gov .

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest
BlackRock and its affiliates (collectively, herein BlackRock) has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees
$$/page=
and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, stockholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRocks (or its affiliates or significant shareholders) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Each portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. In this connection, it should be noted that a portfolio manager may currently manage certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, a portfolio manager may assist in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees. As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock has adopted a policy that is intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among client accounts over time. This policy also seeks to achieve reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base. (a)(3) As of July 31, 2010: Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview BlackRocks financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock such as its Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan and Restricted Stock Program. Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform
$$/page=
additional management functions within the portfolio management group or within BlackRock may receive additional compensation for serving in these other capacities. Discretionary Incentive Compensation Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio managers group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firms assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individuals seniority, role within the portfolio management team, teamwork and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRocks Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks include a combination of market-based indices (e.g., Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups. BlackRocks Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the portfolio managers compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above. Performance is measured on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3, 5 and 10-year periods, as applicable. Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year at risk based on BlackRocks ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods. Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan (LTIP) From time to time long- term incentive equity awards are granted to certain key employees to aid in retention, align their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Messrs. Jaeckel, OConnor and Downs have each received awards under the LTIP. Deferred Compensation Program A portion of the compensation paid to eligible BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firms investment products. Each participant in the deferred compensation program is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among the various investment options. Messrs. Jaeckel, OConnor and Downs have each participated in the deferred compensation program.
$$/page=
Other compensation benefits. In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following: Incentive Savings Plans BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
