2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2010

D ear Shareholder

Over the past year, investors worldwide witnessed a seismic shift in market sentiment as guarded optimism replaced the fear and pessimism that had dominated since late 2007. The single most important reason for this change was the swing from a severe economic recession to an emergent global recovery.

At the start of 2009, markets were reeling from the virtually unprecedented global financial and economic meltdown. The looming threat of further collapse in global markets prompted stimulus packages and central bank interventions on an extraordinary scale. By period end, these actions had helped stabilize the financial system, and the economic contraction abated.

After reaching a trough in March 2009, stocks galloped higher as the massive, coordinated global monetary and fiscal stimulus began to re-inflate world economies. Sidelined cash poured into the markets, triggering a dramatic and steep upward rerating of stocks and other risk assets. Still, the rally has not been without interruption, as mixed economic data, global challenges regarding sovereign credit risk and proposed fees and levies on banks had begun to dampen investor conviction toward period end. The experience in international markets generally mirrored that seen in the United States; notably, emerging markets firmly reclaimed their leadership status.

The easing of investor risk aversion was notable in the fixed income markets as well, where non-Treasury assets made a robust recovery. One of the major themes over the past year was the reversal of the flight-to-quality trade. High yield finished the period as the strongest-performing fixed income sector in both the taxable and tax-exempt space. Overall, the municipal market made a strong showing as technical conditions remained supportive of the asset class. The Build America Bond program was deemed a success, adding $65 billion of taxable supply to the municipal marketplace in 2009 and $4 billion so far this year. The program continues to alleviate tax-exempt supply pressure and attract the attention of a global audience. However, fundamental concerns are moving to the fore in the municipal space, and bear close watching as the year progresses. At the same time, yields on money market securities declined throughout the reporting period and remain near all-time lows, with the Federal Open Market Committee reiterating that economic circumstances are likely to necessitate an accommodative interest rate stance for an “extended period.” Investor assets in money market funds declined from the peak registered in early 2009, but remain well above pre-crisis levels.

All told, the rebound in sentiment and global market conditions resulted in positive 6- and 12-month returns for nearly every major benchmark index, with the most dramatic improvement seen among risk assets.

F und Summary as of January 31, 2010 BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund II, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund II, Inc. (MUE) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal income taxes.

No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Fund returned 16.80% based on market price, and 10.80% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 10.18% based on market price, and 9.18% on a NAV basis. 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 Fund held overweight positions in health and housing bonds with maturities of 20 years and longer, which benefited performance as the municipal yield curve flattened during the last six months. Conversely, overweights in insured Florida and California holdings with weak underlying credits detracted from performance relative to the Lipper category.

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.

4 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2010

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2010 BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc. (MCA) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Fund returned 6.47% based on market price, and 9.10% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 8.47% based on market price, and 8.71% on a NAV basis. 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 comprises funds representing various states and not California alone. 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 Fund maintains a relatively generous degree of income accrual, which was a positive factor. The tightening of credit quality spreads in the uninsured basket of the Fund’s holdings also aided results. A fully-invested posture and a slightly longer relative duration posture were additive, too, as rates declined in the second half of 2009. 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. Conversely, downgrades of monoline insurers detracted from performance in all funds investing in bonds utilizing insurance wraps. This had a particularly negative impact on California credits due to the well-publicized fiscal and budgetary challenges the state is facing. In addition, secondary market demand for insured California municipals has decreased, limiting liquidity and widening spreads on insured bonds.

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, 2010 BlackRock MuniYield Insured Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniYield Insured Fund, Inc. (MYI) (the “Fund”) seeks 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 by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal income taxes.

No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Fund returned 6.94% based on market price, and 10.92% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 10.18% based on market price, and 9.18% on a NAV basis. 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 primary contributors to relative performance were the Fund’s positive positioning with respect to the market during a period in which yields generally declined, and its exposure to the long end of the yield curve, which outperformed as the yield curve flattened. Exposure to insured bonds with lower-rated underlying credits also aided results as yield spreads generally tightened during the period. Conversely, the Fund’s small exposure to the well-performing education sector detracted from performance. Exposure to zero-coupon bonds — which generally under-performed as spreads in this sector widened — also hindered returns.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2010 BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. (MYM) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Michigan income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal and Michigan income taxes.

No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Fund returned 6.11% based on market price, and 8.64% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 8.47% based on market price, and 8.71% on a NAV basis. 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 comprises funds representing various states and not Michigan alone. 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 Fund’s allocations to the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue and health sectors aided performance, as these represented two of the best-performing sectors for the six months. In contrast, pre-refunded and escrowed issues lagged. The Fund’s overweight in this sector, coupled with a shorter duration, restricted upward price movement in a declining rate environment. Additionally, a large block of bonds was called, increasing the cash position while reinvestment was completed.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2010 BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc. (MYN) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes.

No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Fund returned 9.02% based on market price, and 9.76% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 8.47% based on market price, and 8.71% on a NAV basis. 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 comprises funds representing various states and not New York alone. 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 Fund’s holdings of longer-dated and discount-coupon bonds aided relative performance; these issues outperformed as the market recovered and credit spreads tightened during the six months. Additionally, we participated in the new-issue market when supply was plentiful and underwriters were more willing to structure bonds in accordance with orders. This allowed us to improve the Fund’s diversification, while also increasing its exposure to lower-coupon bonds. On the other hand, the Fund’s zero-coupon and shorter-dated bond holdings detracted from performance, as these issues underperformed the market. We were also unable to purchase enough longer-dated, new-issue insured bonds to swap out of the Fund’s older and lower-book-yield bonds. As a result, the Fund maintains a below-average accrual rate, which had a negative impact on total return.

T he 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 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 investments, each Fund’s Common Shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s Common Shares capitalization 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 the 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 Fund’s 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 dividends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Fund’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 generally 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 available for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed 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 Fund’s 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 its total managed assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Fund anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such leverage is incurred. As of January 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 |
| --- | --- |
| MUE | 40 % |
| MCA | 36 % |
| MYI | 37 % |
| MYM | 37 % |
| MYN | 38 % |

D erivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments 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 Fund’s ability to successfully use a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accurately predict 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 appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment 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.

in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | • | Level 2 — other observable
inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets
or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as
interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss
severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated
inputs) |
| | • | Level 3 — unobservable
inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to
the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own
assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
| | The inputs or
methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication
of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other
significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: | |
| | • | Level 1 — price quotations
in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | • | Level 2 — other observable
inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities
in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| | • | Level 3 — unobservable
inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable
inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in
determining the fair value of investments) |

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2010 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

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

N otes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund II, Inc. (“MUE”), BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc. (“MCA”), BlackRock MuniYield Insured Fund, Inc. (“MYI”), BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. (“MYM”) and BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc. (“MYN”) (collectively, the “Funds” or individually as the “Fund”), are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies. The Funds are organized as Maryland corporations. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these 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’ policy is to fair value their financial instruments at market value. Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). 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 by a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value. When determining the price for such investments, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase 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 purchaser is 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, 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 gain of the commitment, 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 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 the Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to the Funds. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of the 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 the 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 the short-term floating rate certificates are shown as trust certificates in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Interest income from the underlying security 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 reported as expenses of the Funds. The 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

each reset date. At January 31, 2010, 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:

| MUE | Underlying Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs — $ 118,729,607 | Liability for Trust Certificates — $ 61,397,934 | 0.24%
– 0.65 % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| MCA | $ 208,411,834 | $ 108,275,469 | 0.16%
– 0.34 % |
| MYI | $ 333,876,416 | $ 174,374,098 | 0.16%
– 0.51 % |
| MYM | $ 17,689,052 | $ 9,030,000 | 0.21%
– 0.36 % |
| MYN | $ 153,157,574 | $ 78,614,804 | 0.23%
– 0.65 % |

For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Funds’ average trust certificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate, including fees, were as follows:

| | Average Trust Certificates Outstanding | Daily
Weighted Average Interest Rate |
| --- | --- | --- |
| MUE | $ 63,475,330 | 0.75% |
| MCA | $ 102,526,238 | 0.67% |
| MYI | $ 166,618,546 | 0.69% |
| MYM | $ 9,030,000 | 0.62% |
| MYN | $ 68,711,344 | 0.90% |

Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Funds’ investment income and distributions to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Funds’ net asset value per share.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: Each Fund 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 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 transactions 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 is recognized on the accrual method. Each Fund amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions to Preferred Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 6.

Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 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.

Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ US federal tax returns remains open for the periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, October 31, 2007 and 2006 (September 30, 2007 and 2006 for MUE). The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Standards: In June 2009, amended guidance was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for transfers of financial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclosure provisions of the amended guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require additional disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation for fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amended guidance

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2010 45

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures is currently being assessed.

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 there under 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 Fund’s 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 Funds investments under the plan are included in income — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that 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. Each Fund has an arrangement with its custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodians impose 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 may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect, exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is minimal because of the protection against default provided by the exchanges on which they trade.

Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds may 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 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 financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

Derivative Instruments Categorized by Risk Exposure:

| The
Effect of Derivative Instruments on the Statements of Operations Year Ended January 31, 2010* | | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Net

| | MUE | MCA | MYI | MYM | MYN | |
| Interest rate contracts: | | | | | | |
| Financial futures contracts | $ 21,903 | $ 15,930 | $ 302,345 | $ 115,635 | $ (22,326 | ) |

  • As of January 31, 2010, there were no financial futures contracts outstanding. During the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Funds had limited activity in these transactions.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not.

Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services.

The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee of the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates. Average daily net assets is

46 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2010

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

the average daily value of each Fund’s total assets minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.

MUE 0.55
MCA 0.50 %
MYI 0.50 %
MYM 0.50 %
MYN 0.50 %

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fee on the proceeds of Preferred Shares and TOBs that exceeds 35% of the average daily net assets of MUE, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Manager waived its fees in the amount of $194,188.

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however the Manager does not waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees through its investment in other affiliated investment companies. These amounts are included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2010 the amounts waived were as follows:

| | Fees
Waived by Manager |
| --- | --- |
| MUE | $ 5,439 |
| MCA | $ 19,274 |
| MYI | $ 14,739 |
| MYM | $ 5,669 |
| MYN | $ 14,010 |

The Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager, under which the Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund to the Manager.

For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Funds reimbursed the Manager for certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations.

Reimbursement
MUE $ 4,530
MCA $ 7,883
MYI $ 14,644
MYM $ 2,466
MYN $ 8,301

Certain officers and/or directors of the Funds are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for compensation paid to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.

4. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended January 31, 2010 were as follows:

Purchases Sales
MUE $ 58,513,609 $ 45,559,379
MCA $ 137,697,746 $ 113,172,158
MYI $ 131,621,348 $ 88,689,260
MYM $ 26,487,943 $ 26,941,936
MYN $ 70,551,857 $ 36,527,830

5. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

MCA, MYM, and MYN invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific states.

Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

6. Capital Share Transactions:

Each Fund is authorized to issue 200 million shares, including Preferred Shares, par value $0.10 for MUE, MCA, MYI and MYM and par value $0.05 for MYM and MYN, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. Each Fund’s Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares of Common Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

Common Shares

Shares issued and outstanding remained constant during the six months ended January 31, 2010 and 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 Supplementary/Statement of Preferences/Certificate of Designation (the “Governing Instrument”) are not satisfied.

From time to time in the future, each Fund that has issued Preferred Shares may effect repurchases of such shares at prices below their liquidation preference as agreed upon by the Fund and seller. Each Fund also may redeem such shares from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing Instrument. Each Fund intends to effect such redemptions and/or repurchases 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 the 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 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 at January 31, 2010:

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of each Fund 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 six months ended January 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 a fund’s auction rate preferred shares than buyers. A successful auction for each Fund’s 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 0.25% 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 following 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
MUE A 7/06/09 147 $ 3,675,000

8. Restatement Information:

Subsequent to the initial issuance of the October 31, 2006 financial statements for MYI and September 30, 2006 financial statements for MUE, the Funds determined that the criteria for sale accounting in FAS 140 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 period ended October 31, 2005 with respect to MYI, and for the period ended September 30, 2005 with respect to MUE, 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.

| Dividend Policy |
| The Funds’ dividend policy
is to distribute all or a portion of their net investment income to their
shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more
stable level of dividend distributions, the Funds 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 Funds 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 comprises part of the financial information included in
this report. |

This report is transmitted to shareholders only. It is not a prospectus. Past performance results shown in this report should not be considered a representation of future performance. The Funds have leveraged their Common Shares, which creates risks for Common Shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of the Common Shares and the risk that fluctuations in the short-term dividend rates of the Preferred Shares, currently set at the maximum reset rate as a result of failed auctions, may reduce the Common Shares’ yield. Statements and other information herein are as dated and are subject to change.
