2 | ANNUAL REPORT | APRIL 30, 2011 |
|
|
Time and again, we have seen how various global events and developing trends can have significant influence on financial markets. I hope you find that the following review of recent market conditions provides additional perspective on the performance of your investments as you read this shareholder report.
Over the past 12 months, we have seen a sluggish, stimulus-driven economic recovery at long last gain real traction, accelerate, and transition into a consumption-driven expansion. For the most part, 2010 was plagued with widely fluctuating economic data, but as the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural problems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement. Although the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and high inflation in developing markets that troubled the global economy in 2010 remain challenges today, overall investor confidence has improved considerably. During the first four months of 2011, that confidence was shaken by political turmoil in the Middle East/North Africa region, soaring prices of oil and other commodities, tremendous natural disasters in Japan and a change in the ratings outlook for US debt. However, strong corporate earnings prevailed and financial markets resumed their course while the global economy continued to garner strength.
Equity markets experienced uneven growth and high volatility in 2010, but ended the year with gains. Following a strong start to 2011, the series of confidence-shaking events brought spurts of heightened volatility to markets worldwide, but was not enough to derail the bull market. Overall, global equities posted strong returns over the past 12 months. Emerging market equities, which had outperformed developed markets earlier in the period, fell prey to heightened inflationary pressures and underperformed developed markets later in the period. In the United States, strong corporate earnings and positive signals from the labor market were sources of encouragement for equity investors, although the housing market did not budge from its slump. Early in 2011, the US Federal Reserve announced that it would continue its Treasury purchase program (“QE2”) through to completion and keep interest rates low for an extended period. This compelled investors to continue buying riskier assets, furthering the trend of small cap stocks outperforming large caps.
While fixed income markets saw yields trend lower (pushing bond prices higher) through most of 2010, the abrupt reversal in investor sentiment and risk tolerance in the fourth quarter drove yields sharply upward. Global credit markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of recent headwinds and yields regained relative stability as the period came to a close. Yield curves globally remained steep by historical standards and higher-risk sectors continued to outperform higher-quality assets. The tax-exempt municipal market enjoyed a powerful rally during the period of low yields in 2010, but when that trend reversed, the market was dealt an additional blow as it became evident that the Build America Bond program would not be extended. Meanwhile, municipal finance troubles raised credit concerns among investors and tax-exempt mutual funds experienced heavy outflows, resulting in wider spreads and falling prices. The new year brought relief from these headwinds and a rebound in the tax-exempt municipal market.
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.

For the Period Ended April 30, 2011 |
Twelve months ago, the municipal yield curve was much flatter than it is today, as investor concerns were focused on the possibility of deflation and a double-dip in the US economy. From April through September 2010, rates moved lower (and prices higher) across the curve, reaching historic lows in August when the yield on 5-year issues touched 1.06%, the 10-year reached 2.18%, and the 30-year was 3.67%. The market took a turn in October, with yields drifting higher (and prices lower) amid a “perfect storm” of events that ultimately resulted in the worst quarterly performance the municipal market had seen since the Fed tightening cycle of 1994. Treasury yields lost their support as concerns over the US deficit raised the question whether foreign investors would continue to purchase Treasury securities at 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 the end of 2010. The program 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 depicting the stress experienced in municipal finance. This has resulted in a loss of confidence among retail investors, the traditional buyers of individual municipal bonds and mutual funds. From the middle of November through year-end, mutual 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 at a slower, yet still significant, pace. Political uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections and the approach taken by the new Congress on issues such as income tax rates, alternative minimum tax and the previously mentioned BAB expiration 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. December brought declining demand for municipal securities with no comparable reduction in supply. As it became evident that the BAB program would be retired, issuers rushed deals to market in the taxable and, to a lesser degree, traditional tax-exempt space. This imbalance in the supply/demand technicals provided the classic market reaction: wider quality spreads and higher bond yields.
Demand usually is strong at the beginning of a new year, but retail investors continued to move away from municipal mutual funds, with AMG Data Services showing $19.9 billion of redemptions in the first four months of 2011. Since mid-November, outflows persisted for 24 consecutive weeks, totaling $33.4 billion. Fortunately, lower supply in 2011 is offsetting the decline in demand. According to Thomson Reuters, through April, year-to-date new issuance was down 53% compared to the same period last year. Issuers have been reluctant to bring new deals to the market due to a number of factors, including higher interest rates, fiscal policy changes and a reduced need for municipal borrowing given the acceleration of some issuance into 2010 prior to the BAB program’s expiration. Accordingly, estimates for 2011 issuance have ratcheted down more than $100 billion since the beginning of the year, when the initial consensus was $350 billion.
Overall, the municipal yield curve steepened during the period from April 30, 2010 to April 30, 2011.As measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data, 30-year yields on AAA-rated municipals rose 53 basis points (“bps”) to 4.58%, while yields for 5-year maturities rallied by 22 bps to 1.50%, and 10-year maturities rallied by 9 bps to 2.85%.With the exception of the 2- to 5-year range, the spread between maturities increased over the past year, with the greatest increase seen in the 5- to 30-year range, where the spread widened by 75 bps, while overall the slope between 2- and 30-year maturities increased by 66 bps to 402 bps.
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 the magnitude, approach and political will to accomplish these needs. The heightened attention on municipal finance has the potential to improve this market for the future, especially if these efforts result in greater means toward disclosure and accuracy (and timeliness) of reporting. Progress toward these fundamental changes may be tested in the near future, as California, Illinois and Puerto Rico will soon need to take austerity measures and access financing in the municipal market to address immediate-term fiscal imbalances before their new fiscal year begins in July. As the economy improves, tax receipts for states are rising and have begun to exceed budget projections. BlackRock maintains a constructive view of the municipal market as we look beyond the interim challenges faced by states working to close their June 30 year-end shortfalls.

BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc.’s (MUA) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide high current income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of medium- to lower-grade or unrated municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds that are rated in the medium to lower categories by nationally recognized rating services (for example, Baa or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Corporation) or non-rated securities which are of comparable quality. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (5.17)% based on market price and 2.31% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (1.08)% based on market price and 1.40% 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 Fund’s concentrated holdings in corporate-related industrial development bonds and low exposure to the underperforming tobacco sector contributed positively to performance. Additional benefits were derived from seasoned portfolio holdings with shorter remaining terms to their maturity, which exhibited lower price volatility compared to longer-dated bonds during the period. As interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened in the later part of the period, holdings of longer-dated bonds detracted from performance. In addition, certain investments in development district (special district) bonds hurt returns as scheduled construction fell significantly below expectations due to the continuing slump in real estate values.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011 | BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc.’s (MEN) (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 investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds 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 bonds 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
Performance |
Effective November 9, 2010, the Fund’s investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of its 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 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (1.44)% based on market price and 0.78% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% based on NAV, and the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 0.17% based on market price and 0.85% 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 performance based on NAV. The Fund’s performance was positively impacted by its shorter duration holdings (those with lower sensitivity to interest rate movements) such as advanced refunded bonds and higher coupon bonds pricing to shorter call dates. Shorter duration securities performed well during the period as the shorter end of the yield curve rallied while long-term rates rose. The Fund also benefited from its exposure to the housing and corporate sectors, which performed well during the period. Detracting from performance was the Fund’s exposure to the long end of the yield curve, where interest rates rose sharply. Exposure to lower quality spread sectors also had a negative impact as credit spreads generally widened over the period. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.’s (MHD) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (0.21)% based on market price and 0.57% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% 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 performance based on NAV. Security selection and sector allocation among corporates, transportation and education as well as tax-backed issues in the Great Lakes region drove the Fund’s positive performance. Additional benefits were derived from seasoned portfolio holdings with shorter remaining terms to their maturity, which exhibited lower price volatility compared to longer-dated bonds during the period. As interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened in the later part of the period, holdings of longer-dated bonds detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund’s high exposure to the health care sector and low exposure to tax-backed issues in the Far West and Mid-Atlantic regions had a negative impact on performance. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011 | BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.’s (MUH) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (2.14)% based on market price and 0.92% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% 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. Security selection and sector allocation among corporates, transportation and housing as well as tax-backed issues in the Great Lakes region drove the Fund’s positive performance. Additional benefits were derived from seasoned portfolio holdings with shorter remaining terms to their maturity, which exhibited lower price volatility compared to longer-dated bonds during the period. As interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened in the later part of the period, holdings of longer-dated bonds detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund’s high exposure to the health care sector and low exposure to tax-backed issues in the Far West and Mid-Atlantic regions had a negative impact on performance. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011 | BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
Effective November 9, 2010, BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc. changed its name to BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.
BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.’s (MUS) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily 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 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
Performance |
Effective November 9, 2010, the Fund’s investment policy was changed by the removal of the insurance investment policy that required at least 80% of its 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 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (1.60)% based on market price and 0.21% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% based on NAV, and the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 0.17% based on market price and 0.85% 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 Fund’s holdings of higher quality essential service bonds with high coupon rates (6% or higher) contributed positively to performance as interest rates rose during the period. Higher coupon bonds typically outperform lower coupon bonds in a rising interest rate environment as higher coupon bonds are priced to a shorter call date, while lower coupon bonds are priced to maturity. The Fund maintained a fully invested posture during the period, which enhanced the Fund’s total return by boosting its income accrual. Detracting from performance was the Fund’s exposure to long duration bonds (those with greater sensitivity to interest rate movements) and long-dated bonds as long-term interest rates rose sharply. The surprise non-extension of the Build America Bond (“BAB”) program at the end of 2010 put upward pressure on the long end of the yield curve, where most of the BAB supply was issued. Additionally, the yield curve steepened during the period as a result of the general perception among investors that the economy is improving, along with higher inflation expectations. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011 | BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.’s (MUI) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide common shareholders with high current income exempt from federal income taxes taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds 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 at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds with a duration of three to ten years 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned 2.41% based on market price and 3.86% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 3.14% based on market price and 3.98% 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 performance based on NAV. The Fund benefited from its heavy weighting in the tax-backed sector, which was among the strongest performing sectors during the period. A significant exposure to the corporate sector also had a positive impact on performance. The Fund’s strong bias toward higher quality issues proved beneficial, as did its holdings issued by New York, which was one of the better performing states during the period. Detracting from performance was the Fund’s overexposure to hospital bonds, which underperformed the market, and underexposure to the strong-performing housing sector. Traditionally, municipal bonds issued in high-tax states tend to provide a better store of value and liquidity than lower-taxing states when markets are declining. However, under the current economic conditions, higher-taxing states are more severely impacted by heavy deficits and suffer the most credit deterioration. As a result, the Fund’s overexposure to California and New Jersey credits, and the traditionally higher-yielding state of Illinois, negatively impacted returns.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2011 | BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc. |
|
Fund Overview |
BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc.’s (MVT) (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 investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years 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 Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned (1.04)% based on market price and 0.73% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (0.60)% based on market price and 0.10% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s premium to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Security selection and sector allocation among corporates and transportation as well as tax-backed issues in the Great Lakes region drove the Fund’s positive performance. Additional benefits were derived from seasoned portfolio holdings with shorter remaining terms to their maturity, which exhibited lower price volatility compared to longer-dated bonds during the period. As interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened in the later part of the period, holdings of longer-dated bonds detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund’s high exposure to the health care sector and low exposure to tax-backed issues in the Far West and Mid-Atlantic regions had a negative impact on performance. The Fund uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge portfolio risk related to movements in interest rates. This strategy had a modestly negative impact on performance during the period.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their common shares (“Common Shares”). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
To leverage, all of the Funds, except MUA, issue AMPS or VRDP Shares (collectively “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, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally 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 holders of Common Shares (“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 holders of Preferred Shares 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 a 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 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 trust may adversely affect each Fund’s 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 generally 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, each Fund’s 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 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% (45% for MUI) of its total managed assets at the time such leverage is incurred. As of April 30, 2011, the Funds had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may 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 financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset or illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Funds’ ability to use a derivative instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Funds to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune 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 the Funds to hold an investment that they might otherwise sell. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad level for financial statement purposes 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 and derivative financial instruments) |
|
|
|
| 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 derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 and derivative financial instruments) |
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 derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 and derivative financial instruments) |
|
|
|
| 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 derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. | |

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 and derivative financial instruments.) |
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 derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 and derivative financial instruments) |
|
|
|
| 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 derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. | |

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 and derivative financial instruments) |
|
|
|
| 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 derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. | |

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes 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 and derivative financial instruments) |
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 derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. (“MUA”), BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc. (“MEN”), BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. (“MHD”), BlackRock Muni-Holdings Fund II, Inc. (“MUH”), BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. (formerly BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc.) (“MUS”), BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. (“MUI”) and BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc. (“MVT”) (collectively, the “Funds”) 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 (“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:
Reorganization: The Board of Directors (the “Board”) and shareholders of MUA and the Board and shareholders of BlackRock Apex Municipal Fund, Inc. (“APX”) approved the reorganization of APX into MUA pursuant to which MUA acquired substantially all of the assets and substantially all of the liabilities of APX in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly-issued Common Shares of MUA.
Each Common Shareholder of APX received Common Shares of MUA in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of such Common Shareholder’s APX Common Shares, as determined at the close of business on February 25, 2011, less the costs of APX’s reorganization (although cash was distributed for any fractional Common Shares).
The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of Common Shares of MUA in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratio:

APX’s net assets and composition of net assets on February 25, 2011, the date of the merger, were as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by MUA were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from APX was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of MUA’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The aggregate net assets of MUA immediately after the acquisition amounted to $433,042,831. APX’s fair value and cost of investments prior to the reorganization was $173,035,802 and $181,172,649, respectively.
The purpose of this transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Manager (as defined in Note 3 below) with the same or substantially similar (but not identical) investment objectives, investment policies, strategies, risks and restrictions. The reorganization was a tax-free event and was effective on February 28, 2011.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on May 1, 2010, the beginning of the annual reporting period of MUA, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended April 30, 2011, are as follows:
|
|
|
| • | Net investment income: $26,815,648 |
|
|
|
| • | Net realized and change in unrealized gain on investments: |
|
| $(16,410,597) |
|
|
|
| • | Net increase in net assets applicable to Common Shareholders resulting from operations: $10,405,051 |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of MUA that have been included in MUA’s Statement of Operations since February 25, 2011.
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by 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 registered 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 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
|
|
|
62 | ANNUAL REPORT | APRIL 30, 2011 |
|
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such 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, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Funds’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Schedules of Investments.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs: 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 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. During the year ended April 30, 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 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 services to a TOB are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At April 30, 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:

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.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Funds either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), 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 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 to such transactions 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, 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 distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Dividends and distributions to AMPS and VRDP 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.
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 each of the four periods ended as follows:

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, independent 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 thereunder 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 distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.
Offering Costs: MEN and MUI incurred costs in connection with its issuance of VRDP Shares, which were recorded as a deferred charge and will be amortized over the 30-year life of the VRDP Shares. Amortization of these costs for MUI is included in interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs 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. The Funds have an arrangement with the 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 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 unfavorable 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 Funds and the counterparty 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 the 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 payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. 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 contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
As of April 30, 2011, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) were the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Funds 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 at the following annual rates of each Fund’s average daily net assets:
|
|
|
|
|
MUA |
|
| 0.55 | % |
MEN |
|
| 0.50 | % |
MHD |

MUS |
|
| 0.55 | % |
MUI |
|
| 0.55 | % |
MVT |
|
| 0.50 | % |
Average daily net assets is the average daily value of each Fund’s total assets minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees or other expenses on MUI as a percentage of its average daily net assets as follows: 0.05% through July 31, 2010 and 0.00% thereafter. For the year ended April 30, 2011, the waiver was $112,432, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations.
The Manager, for MUS, voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fee on the proceeds of the AMPS and TOBs that exceed 35% of net assets applicable to Common Shareholders. This amount is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended April 30, 2011, the waiver was $156,792.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment 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 investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through each Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees

5. Income Tax Information:
Reclassifications: US GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of April 30, 2011, attributable to amortization methods on fixed income securities, distributions received from a regulated investment company, the sale of bonds received from tender option bond trusts, the reclassification of distributions, non-deductible expenses, the expiration of capital loss carryforwards and securities in default were reclassified to the following accounts:

| * | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains (losses) were attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles, amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities, the accrual of income on securities in default, the deferral of post-October capital losses for tax purposes, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on certain futures contracts, the treatment of residual interests in tender option bond trusts, and the deferral of compensation to directors. |

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Funds after April 30, 2011 will not be subject to expiration. In addition, these losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
MEN, MHD, MUH, MUS and MUI 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 (issuer 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 issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit 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.
As of April 30, 2011, MUA invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the health and corporate sectors. MEN invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the county/city/special district/school district and transportation sectors. MHD, MUH and MVT invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the health sector. MUS invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the county/city/special district/school district, utilities and transportation sectors. MUI invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the state and county/city/special district/school district sectors. Changes in economic conditions affecting the county/city/ special district/school district, health, state, utilities and transportation sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
7. Capital Share Transactions:
Each Fund is authorized to issue 200 million of $0.10 par value shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The par value for each Fund’s AMPS or VRDP Shares is $0.10 except MEN Series A, B and C, which is $0.025, and MVT Series A, B and C, which is $0.05. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

AMPS
The AMPS are redeemable at the option of each Fund except MUI, 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 AMPS 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 are not satisfied.
From time to time in the future, each Fund except MUI, may effect repurchases of its AMPS at prices below their liquidation preference as agreed upon by the Fund and seller. Each Fund except MUI, also may redeem its AMPS from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing Instrument. Each Fund except MUI, 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.
MEN, MHD, MUH, MUS and MVT had the following series of AMPS outstanding, effective yields and reset frequency as of April 30, 2011:

Dividends on seven-day and 28-day AMPS are cumulative at a rate which is reset every seven or 28 days, respectively, based on the results of an auction. If the AMPS fail to clear the auction on an auction date, each Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the AMPS to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on the AMPS is as footnoted in the preceding table above. The low, high and average dividend rates on the AMPS for each Fund for the period were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Since February 13, 2008, the AMPS of the Funds failed to clear any of their auctions. As a result, the AMPS dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.35% to 1.56% for the year ended April 30, 2011. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Funds but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of AMPS. 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’ AMPS may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, AMPS Shareholders may not have the ability to sell the AMPS 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 AMPS 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.
AMPS issued and outstanding remained constant for the year ended April 30, 2011 for MEN, MHD, MUH, MUS and MVT.
During the year ended April 30, 2011, MUI announced the following redemptions of AMPS at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date:

VRDP Shares
On March 17, 2011, MUI issued 2,871 Series W-7 VRDP Shares, $100,000 liquidation value per share with a maturity date of April 1, 2041, in a privately negotiated offering. The VRDP Shares were offered to institutional buyers as defined pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and include a liquidity feature that allows the VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by the liquidity provider in the event of a failed remarketing. MUI entered into a fee agreement with the liquidity provider that required an initial and per annum liquidity fee which is shown as liquidity fees in the Statements of Operations.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares are set weekly at a rate established by a remarketing agent. Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of MUI. MUI also may redeem the VRDP Shares if it fails to maintain a 200% asset coverage requirement and such failure is not cured timely. The redemption price per share is equal to the liquidation value per share. All of MUI’s VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance, with an annualized dividend rate of 0.51% for the period ended April 30, 2011. For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of VRDP Shares is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends are included in interest payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and the dividends paid on the VRDP Shares are included as a component of interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Dividends paid to holders of VRDP Shares are treated as tax-exempt income.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)
During the period, MEN entered into a Fee Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a financial institution in relation to the refinancing of AMPS. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, effective February 1, 2011, MEN paid a liquidity fee through the date of the refinancing at an annual rate of 0.50% of the refinancing amounts, which is shown as liquidity fees on the Statements of Operations.
The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the Common Shareholders (one vote per share) and will vote together with Common Shareholders (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.
8. Subsequent Events:
Management’s evaluation of the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds’ financial statements was completed through the date the financial statements were issued and the following items were noted:

To the Shareholders and Boards of Directors of:
BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc.
BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc.
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.
BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.
BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.
BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. (formerly BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc.), BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc., and BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of April 30, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of cash flows of BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc., and BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc. for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2011, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc., and BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc., as of April 30, 2011, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the statements of cash flows of BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc., and BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc. for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans
Pursuant to each Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Reinvestment Plan”), Common Shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services for MUA, MHD, MUH, MUS and MVT and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. for MEN and MUI (individually, the “Reinvestment Plan Agent” or together, the “Reinvestment Plan Agents”) in the respective Fund’s shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Reinvestment Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Reinvestment Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Reinvestment Plan.
After the Funds declare a dividend or determine to make a capital gain distribution, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the following circumstances, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Fund (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Fund’s primary exchange (“open-market purchases”). If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV per share is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition often referred to as a “market premium”), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV per share is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV per share is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition often referred to as a “market discount”), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases. If the Reinvestment Plan Agents are unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Reinvestment Plan Agents will invest any un-invested portion in newly issued shares.
Participation in the Reinvestment Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Reinvestment Plan Agent prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.
The Reinvestment Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Reinvestment Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.
Each Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Reinvestment Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Reinvestment Plan; however, each Fund reserves the right to amend the Reinvestment Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through Computershare Trust Company, N.A. are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. Participants that request a sale of shares through BNY Mellon Shareowner Services are subject to a $0.02 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Reinvestment Plan should be directed to the respective Reinvestment Plan Agent: BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.0. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035, Telephone: (866) 216-0242 for shareholders of MUA, MHD, MUH, MUS and MVT or Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, Telephone: (800) 699-1BFM or overnight correspondence should be directed to the Reinvestment Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021 for shareholders of MEN and MUI.

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.

Additional Information (continued)
|
General Information |
On June 10, 2010, the Manager announced that the directors of MUI had received a demand letter sent on behalf of certain of MUI Common Shareholders. The demand letter alleged that the Manager and MUI’s officers and Board of Directors (the “Board”) breached their fiduciary duties owed to MUI and its Common Shareholders by redeeming at par certain of MUI’s AMPS, and demanded that the Board take action to remedy those alleged breaches. In response to the demand letter, the Board established a Demand Review Committee (the “Committee”) of the independent Directors to investigate the claims made in the demand letter with the assistance of independent counsel. Based upon its investigation, the Committee recommended that the Board reject the demand specified in the letter. After reviewing the findings of the Committee, the Board unanimously adopted the Committee’s recommendation and unanimously voted to reject the demand.
The Funds do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Funds’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Fund has not been updated after completion of the respective Fund’s offerings and the information contained in each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated.
Other than the revisions discussed in the Board approvals on page 80, there were no material changes in the Funds’ investment objectives or policies or to the Funds’ charters or by-laws that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Funds. There have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds’ portfolio.
Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other information regarding the Funds may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference to BlackRock’s web-site is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding the Funds and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website into this report.
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 statements, 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. Please note that not all investment advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.
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. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please call (800) 441-7762.
Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments
The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C.

Additional Information (continued)

Board Approval |
On September 1, 2010, the Board of Directors (the “Boards”) of MEN and MUS (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 policy 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 ability rating of most of the municipal bond insurance providers has been lowered by the rating agencies. These downgrades have called into question the long-term viability of the municipal bond insurance market, which has the potential to severely limit the ability of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment advisor (the “Manager”), to manage the Funds under the Insurance Investment Policy.
As a result, on September 1, 2010, the Manager recommended, and the Board approved, the removal of the Insurance Investment Policy. As a result of this investment policy change, the Funds are not required to dispose of assets currently held within the Funds. The Funds will maintain, and have no current intention to amend, their investment policy of, under normal market conditions, generally investing in municipal obligations rated 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, each Fund’s 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 each Fund invests. The Board believes that the amended investment policy is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders because it believes that the potential benefits from increased flexibility outweigh the potential increase in risk from the lack of insurance policies provided by weakened insurance providers. Of course, the new investment policy cannot assure that each Fund will achieve its investment objective.
As disclosed in each Fund’s prospectus, each Fund is required to provide shareholders 60 days notice of a change to the Insurance Investment Policy. Accordingly, a notice describing the changes discussed above was mailed to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2010. The new investment policy took effect on November 9, 2010.
The Manager has been gradually repositioning each Fund’s portfolio 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 Fund’s 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.
On November 9, 2010, in connection with this change in non-fundamental policy, MUS changed its name from BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc. to BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. MUS will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under its current ticker symbol.
The approved changes will not alter the Funds’ investment objective.

* | The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than the amount of earned income and net realized gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment in a Fund is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” |

| The following table presents fees billed by D&T that were required to be approved by the registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) for services that relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund and that are rendered on behalf of BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“Investment Adviser”) and entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with BlackRock (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Fund Service Providers”): |

3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.
| (e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
|
|
| The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels. |
| Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels. |
|
|
| (e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
|
|
| (f) Not Applicable |
|
|
| (g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were: |
Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
|
|
|
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. | $14,200 | $20,377 |
| Additionally, SAS No. 70 fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $3,030,000 and $2,950,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser. |
|
|
| (h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser), and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
|
|
Item 5 – | Audit Committee of Listed Registrants |
| (a) | The following individuals are members of the registrant’s separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)): |

| (b) Not Applicable due to no such divestments during the semi-annual period covered since the previous Form N-CSR filing. |
|
|
Item 7 – | Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies – The board of directors has delegated the voting of proxies for the Fund’s portfolio securities to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund securities in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser, on the other. In such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the “Oversight Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio Management Group and/or the Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Fund’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. |

| (iv) | Potential Material Conflicts of Interest |
| BlackRock has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, shareholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, shareholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRock’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Certain portfolio managers also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. It should also be noted that portfolio managers may manage certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, portfolio managers may assist in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees. |
| As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock has adopted policies that are intended to ensure reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base, as appropriate. |

| Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview |
|
|
| BlackRock’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock. |
|
|
| Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their position with the firm. |
|
|
| Discretionary Incentive Compensation |
|
|
| Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s performance and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks include a combination of market-based indices (e.g., Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups. |
|
|
| Among other things, BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to each portfolio manager’s compensation based on the performance of the Funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks. |
|
|
| Performance of fixed income funds is measured on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis over various time periods including 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, as applicable. With respect to the performance of the other listed Index and Multi-Asset Funds, performance is measured on, among other things, a pre-tax basis over various time periods including 1-, 3- and 5-year periods, as applicable. |
| Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation |
|
|
| Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. For some portfolio managers, discretionary incentive compensation is also distributed in deferred cash awards that notionally track the returns of select BlackRock investment products they manage and that vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock restricted stock units, upon vesting, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods. Providing a portion of annual bonuses in deferred cash awards that notionally track the BlackRock investment products they manage provides direct alignment with investment product results. |
|
|
| Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards — From time to time long-term incentive equity awards are granted to certain key employees to aid in retention, align their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the form of BlackRock restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in BlackRock common stock. Messrs. Jaeckel and O’Connor have each received long-term incentive awards. |
|
|
| Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Each participant in the deferred compensation program is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among various BlackRock investment options. All of the portfolio managers have participated in the deferred compensation program. |
|
|
| Other compensation benefits. In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following: |
|
|
| Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 8% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $5,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies and collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent participant investment direction, are invested into an index target date fund that corresponds to, or is closest to, the year in which the participant attains age 65. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares or a dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate in these plans. |
