Dear Shareholder
Economic data fluctuated widely throughout 2010, but as the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural prob- lems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement. The sovereign debt crises and emerging market inflation that troubled the global economy in 2010 remain a challenge to global growth, but overall levels of uncertainty are gradually declining as the United States and the world economy are progressing from a stimulus-driven recovery into a consumption-driven expansion. In the United States, the corporate sector has been an important area of strength and consumer spending has shown improvement, although weakness in the housing and labor markets continues to burden the economy. It is important to note that we are in the midst of the first global economic recovery that is being led by emerging economies, and the United States has only just begun its transition to a self-sustaining expansion, suggesting that economic improvements still have a way to go. Global equity markets experienced uneven growth and high volatility over the course of 2010, but ended the year strong. Stocks continued their advance through most of January until the political unrest in Egypt and widespread discord across the Middle East caused a sharp, but temporary decline at the end of the period. US stocks outpaced most international markets over the 12-month period. Small cap stocks outperformed large caps as investors moved into higher-risk assets. Fixed income markets saw yields trend lower over most of 2010, until the fourth quarter brought an abrupt reversal in sentiment and risk tolerance that drove yields sharply upward (pushing prices downward) through year end and into the New Year. However, on a 12-month basis, yields were lower overall and fixed income markets performed well. Conversely, the tax-exempt municipal market was dealt an additional blow as it became evident that the Build America Bond program would expire at the end of 2010. In addition, negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments damaged investor confidence and sparked additional volatility in the municipal market. These conditions began to moderate as the period came to a close and the market has shown signs of improvement in supply-and-demand technicals. Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

Municipal Market Overview
As of January 31, 2011 The municipal market began the period with a strong tone as rates fell (and prices rose) along with those of US Treasuries. However, the cliché of the perfect storm of negative events all conspired in the final months of 2010, leading to the worst quarterly performance for the municipal market since the tightening cycle of 1994. Treasury yields lost their support as concerns about the US deficit raised questions over the willingness of foreign investors to continue to purchase Treasury securities, at least at the previous historically low yields. Municipal valuations also suffered a quick and severe setback as it became evident that the Build America Bond (BAB) program would expire at year-end. The program had opened the taxable market to municipal issuers, which had successfully alleviated supply pressure in the traditional tax-exempt marketplace, bringing down yields in that space.
The financial media has been replete with interviews, articles and presentations advertising the stress experienced in municipal finance, resulting in a loss of confidence among retail investors who buy individual bonds or mutual funds. From the middle of November through year-end, funds specializing in tax-exempt bonds witnessed weekly outflows averaging over $2.5 billion. Long-term and high-yield funds saw the greatest redemptions, followed by state- specific funds to a lesser but still significant degree. Demand usually is strong at the beginning of the new year against a backdrop of low new-issue supply, but the mutual fund outflows continued in January, putting additional upward pressure on municipal yields. Political uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections and the approach taken by the new Congress on issues such as income tax rates and alternative minimum tax (and the previously mentioned BAB non-extension) exacerbated the situation. All these conditions, combined with the seasonal illiquidity surrounding year-end holidays and dealers closing their fiscal books, sapped willing market participation from the trading community. As demand for municipal securities from traditional retail investors was declining and trading desk liquidity was being curtailed, there was no comparable reduction in supply. As it became evident that the BAB program would be retired, issuers rushed deals to market both in the taxable municipal space and, to a lesser degree, in the traditional tax-exempt space. This imbalance in the supply/demand technicals provided the classic market action, leading to wider quality spreads and higher bond yields. The municipal curve steepened as the issuance was concentrated in longer (greater than 20-year) maturities. Curve steepening that began in October accelerated in November, spurred on by Treasury weakness, heavy supply and record outflows. As measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data, AAA-rated municipals rose nearly 82 basis points (bps) for maturities 25 years and longer from July 31, 2010, to January 31, 2011. The spread between two-year and 30-year maturities widened from 360 bps to 406 bps over the period. The fundamental picture for municipalities will be subject to scrutiny for months to come, as the challenges to state and local budgets are real and need to be addressed with significant cuts to expenses and tax revenue increases. The debates around austerity measures needed to succeed in balancing these budgets are not over whether action needs to be taken, but over degree, approach and political will to accomplish these needs. The attention shone upon municipal finance has the potential to improve this market for the future if these efforts result in greater means toward disclosure and accuracy (and timeli- ness) of reporting. Early tests to judge progress will come soon as California, Illinois and Puerto Rico need to take austerity measures and access financing in the municipal market to address relatively immediate fiscal imbalances. BlackRock favors a more constructive outlook for the municipal market heading into 2011 as the typical, and this year particularly atypical, weakness passes.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011 BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc.
Fund Overview Effective November 9, 2010, BlackRock MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc. changed its name to BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc. BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality 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. 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 Effective November 9, 2010, the Funds investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of Fund assets to be invested in insured municipal securities. Accordingly, the Fund was moved from the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds cat- egory into the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category. For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (6.51)% based on market price and (7.59)% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an aver- age return of (9.24)% based on market price and (8.09)% based on NAV, while the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (9.05)% based on market price and (6.44)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund's discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund maintained a low average cash reserve level, which benefited total return by boosting income accrual. Increased exposure to tender option bonds to take advantage of the historically steep municipal yield curve also benefited the income accrual. As a result, the Fund was able to increase dividend payments twice over the period. In addition, the Funds holdings in corporate-backed municipals aided per- formance as non-traditional investors identified the sectors attractive investment opportunities and subsequently drove up demand. Conversely, a generally negative municipal market environment hindered Fund performance. Some widening of credit spreads, especially among California school districts and healthcare credits, detracted from Fund performance, as did a relatively long duration posture given the rising interest rate environment of 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.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011 BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc.
Fund Overview Effective November 9, 2010, BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. changed its name to BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality 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 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 Effective November 9, 2010, the Funds investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of Fund assets to be invested in insured municipal securities. Accordingly, the Fund was moved from the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category into the Lipper New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds category. For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (9.91)% based on market price and (6.19)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (9.78)% based on market price and (6.43)% based on NAV, while the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (9.05)% based on market price and (6.44)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund's discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to per- formance based on NAV. The Funds exposure to the housing, corporate and pre-refunded sectors contributed to performance as these sectors outperformed the general municipal market. Additionally, the Funds exposure to shorter-duration bonds and premium coupon bonds (6% or higher) benefited performance in the rising interest rate environment of the period. Conversely, the Funds modestly long duration stance detracted from performance, again due to the rising rate environment. In addition, the Funds exposure to longer maturity bonds detracted as the long end of the yield curve steepened during 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.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011 BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Fund
Fund Overview Effective November 9, 2010, BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Fund changed its name to BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Fund. BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality 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. 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 Effective November 9, 2010, the Funds investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of Fund assets to be invested in insured municipal securities. Accordingly, the Fund was moved from the Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category into the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category. For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (12.86)% based on market price and (7.97)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (8.46)% based on market price and (6.45)% based on NAV, while the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (11.13)% based on market price and (6.92)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period-end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Funds exposure to longer-duration and longer-maturity bonds detracted from performance as the long end of the yield curve steepened during the period. Conversely, the Funds exposure to the housing sector contributed to perform- ance as the sector was one of the municipal markets better performers. Additionally, the Funds exposure to shorter-duration bonds and premium coupon bonds (6% or higher) benefited performance in the rising interest rate environment of the period.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011 BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc.
Fund Overview Effective November 9, 2010, BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. changed its name to BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc.s (MJI) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes and New Jersey personal income tax 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 New Jersey personal 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. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or syn thetically through the use of derivatives. No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. Performance Effective November 9, 2010, the Funds investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of Fund assets to be invested in insured municipal securities. Accordingly, the Fund was moved from the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category into the Lipper New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds category. For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (10.76)% based on market price and (6.15)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (9.78)% based on market price and (6.43)% based on NAV, while the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (9.05)% based on market price and (6.44)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund's discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to per formance based on NAV. The Funds exposure to the housing, corporate and pre-refunded sectors contributed to performance as these sectors outperformed the general municipal market. Additionally, the Funds exposure to shorter-duration bonds and premium coupon bonds (6% or higher) benefited performance in the rising interest rate environment of the period. Conversely, the Funds modestly long duration stance detracted from performance, again due to the rising rate environment. In addition, the Funds exposure to longer maturity bonds detracted as the long end of the yield curve steepened during 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. Fund Information

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011 BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund
Fund Overview Effective November 9, 2010, BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Fund changed its name to BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund. BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality 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. 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 Effective November 9, 2010, the Funds investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of Fund assets to be invested in insured municipal securities. Accordingly, the Fund was moved from the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds cat egory into the Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds category. For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (10.43)% based on mar ket price and (6.76)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (9.19)% based on market price and (6.17)% based on NAV, while the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (9.05)% based on market price and (6.44)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund's discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. A generally negative municipal market environment hindered Fund performance. Conversely, the Fund maintained a low average cash reserve level, which benefited total return by boosting income accrual. Increased exposure to tender option bonds to take advantage of the historically steep municipal yield curve also benefited the income accrual. In addition, the Funds holdings in corporate-backed municipals aided performance as non-traditional investors identified the sectors attractive investment opportunities and subsequently drove up demand.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their common shares of beneficial interest (Common Shares). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments. To leverage, the Funds issue preferred shares (Preferred Shares), which pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the pro- ceeds 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, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will nor- mally 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-yield- ing portfolio investments, each Funds holders of common shares (Common Shareholders) will benefit from the incremental 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 holders of preferred shares (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 incremental 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 prevailing 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 TOBs, 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 may adversely affect each Funds NAV per share. The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income 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 gener- ally cause greater changes in the Funds NAVs, market prices and dividend rates than comparable portfolios 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 January 31, 2011, 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 | 45% |
| MUJ | 39% |
| MFT | 41% |
| MIY | 39% |
| MJI | 36% |
| MPA | 40% |
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 predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of deriva- tive instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inoppor- tune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Fund to hold an investment that it might oth- erwise sell. The Funds investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized mar- ket indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2011 in deter- mining the fair valuation of the Funds investments:

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2011 in deter- mining the fair valuation of the Funds investments:

For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized mar- ket indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2011 in deter- mining the fair valuation of the Funds investments:

For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized mar- ket indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2011 in deter- mining the fair valuation of the Funds investments:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies: BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc. (MUC), formerly MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. (MUJ), formerly BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Fund, Inc. (MFT), formerly BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Fund, BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund, Inc. (MIY), formerly BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. (MJI), formerly MuniYield New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund, Inc. (MPA), formerly MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Fund (collectively, the Funds or individ- ually, 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 prepared 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 value 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 investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a when-issued basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. 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 relationships 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 companies 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.
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. Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may pur- chase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions 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 Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, includ- ing 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 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 contributed 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 agree- ments. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the munic- ipal 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. During the six months ended January 31, 2011, no TOBs that the Funds participated in were terminated without the consent of the Funds. 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, therefore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Funds' Schedules of Investments and the proceeds from the issuance of

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) the short-term floating rate certificates are shown as trust certificates in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, 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 serv- ices 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 certifi- cates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At January 31, 2011, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for trust certificates were as follows:
| Underlying — Municipal Bonds | Liability — for Trust | Range of | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transferred to TOBs | Certificates | Interest Rates | |
| MUC | $326,430,224 | $181,854,633 | 0.29% 0.46% |
| MUJ | $ 20,679,832 | $ 13,262,930 | 0.29% 0.39% |
| MFT | $ 28,316,826 | $ 15,525,099 | 0.29% 0.44% |
| MIY | $ 29,733,430 | $ 16,190,000 | 0.27% 0.46% |
| MJI | $ 7,394,789 | $ 4,684,369 | 0.29% 0.39% |
| MPA | $ 73,858,304 | $ 38,440,136 | 0.29% 0.49% |
For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Funds' average trust certificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rates, including fees, were as follows:
| Average Trust | Daily Weighted | |
|---|---|---|
| Certificates | Average | |
| Outstanding | Interest Rate | |
| MUC | $181,854,633 | 0.79% |
| MUJ | $ 13,262,930 | 0.73% |
| MFT | $ 16,529,486 | 0.84% |
| MIY | $ 16,190,000 | 0.72% |
| MJI | $ 4,684,369 | 0.73% |
| MPA | $ 38,444,753 | 0.83% |
Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds' investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Funds' net investment income and dividends to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market values of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Funds' net asset values per share. 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), the Funds will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on their 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 segre- gated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements 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 transac- tions 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 and accretion of premiums and discounts 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 distribu- tions 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 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. Management does not believe there are any 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 certain other 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 certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations there-under represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Fund. Each Fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover each Fund's deferred compensation liability, if any, are included in other assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and dis- tributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 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. 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 deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts 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 agreements between the Fund and counter- party to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on settlement date. 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 pay- ments are known as margin variation and are recorded 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 financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) MUC, MUJ, MIY, and MJI are authorized to issue 200 million shares, includ- ing Preferred Shares, par value is $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 without approval of Common Shareholders. Common Shares Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for MUC and MIY during the six months ended January 31, 2011 and the year ended July 31, 2010, respectively. For MUJ, shares issued and outstanding increased by 12,381 as a result of reinvestment of dividends for the six months ended January 31, 2011 and remained constant during the year ended July 31, 2010. For MFT, shares issued and outstanding increased by 6,451 for the six months ended January 31, 2011 and increased by 5,456 as a result of reinvestment of dividends during the year ended July 31, 2010. For MJI, shares issued and outstanding increased by 24,556 for the six months ended January 31, 2011 and increased by 15,316 as a result of reinvestment of dividends during the year ended July 31, 2010. For MPA, shares issued and outstanding increased by 5,736 as a result of reinvestment of dividends for the six months ended January 31, 2011 and remained constant during the year ended July 31, 2010. 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 Supplementary (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 hold- ers 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 Fund's sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company. The Funds had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding, effective yields and reset frequency as of January 31, 2011:

1 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. 2 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.
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 six months ended January 31, 2011 were as follows:

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 0.37% to 1.56% for the six months ended January 31, 2011. 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 a Fund's auction rate Preferred Shares than buyers. A successful auction for the Funds' Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders 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 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that fail to clear their auctions and 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions. Certain broker dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions for failed auctions. Preferred Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for the six months ended January 31, 2011 for all Funds. During the period, MIY and MPA entered into a Fee Agreement (the Agreement) with a financial institution in relation to the potential refinanc- ing of Preferred Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, effective February 1, 2011 MIY and MPA will pay a liquidity fee, through the earlier of the date of the potential refinancing or July 1, 2011, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the potential refinancing amounts. 8. Restatement Information: During the year ended October 31, 2006 MIY determined that the criteria for sale accounting under US GAAP has 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.

| Year Ended October 31, 2005 | Reported | Restated |
| Total expenses 1 | 1.10% | 1.42% |

Additional Information (continued) 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 Funds 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 inves tigate the claims made in the demand letters with the assistance of inde- pendent counsel. Based upon its investigation, the Committee recommended that the Boards reject the demand specified in the demand letters. After reviewing the findings of the Committee, the Board for each Fund unanimously adopted the Committees recommendation and unani- mously voted to reject the demand. Electronic Delivery Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Funds web- sites or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly state- ments, annual and semi-annual reports by enrolling in the Funds electronic delivery program. Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks or Brokerages: Please contact your financial advisor to enroll.

Householding The Funds will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address.

Additional Information (continued) Board Approvals On September 1, 2010, the Board of Directors (the Boards) of MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY, MJI, and MPA (the Funds) approved changes to certain 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 Investment Policy). Following the onset of the credit and liquidity crises, the claims-paying abil- ity rating of most of the municipal bond insurance providers was lowered by the rating agencies. These downgrades called into question the long- term viability of the municipal bond insurance market, which had the potential to severely limit the ability of the Manager to manage the Funds under the Insurance Investment Policy. As a result, on September 1, 2010, the Manager recommended, and the Boards approved, the removal of the Insurance Investment Policy. As a result of this investment policy change, the Funds are not required to dis- pose 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 investment 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 Funds prospectus, each Fund is required to provide shareholders 60 days notice of a change to the Insurance Investment Policy. Accordingly, a notice describing the changes discussed above was mailed to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2010.The new invest- ment policy took effect on November 9, 2010. The Manager has been grad- ually repositioning each Funds portfolios over time, and during such period, each Fund may continue to hold a substantial portion of its assets in insured municipal bonds. At this time, the repositioning of each Funds portfolio is still taking place, and the Funds will 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 underwent a name change to reflect its new portfolio characteristics. Each Fund continues to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under its current ticker symbol. The approved changes did not alter any Funds investment objective.
