2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
JANUARY 31, 2010
Dear Shareholder
Over the past year, investors worldwide witnessed a seismic shift in market sentiment as guarded optimism replaced the fear and pessimism that had domi-
nated since late 2007. The single most important reason for this change was the swing from a severe economic recession to an emergent global recovery.
At the start of 2009, markets were reeling from the virtually unprecedented global financial and economic meltdown. The looming threat of further collapse in
global markets prompted stimulus packages and central bank interventions on an extraordinary scale. By period end, these actions had helped stabilize the
financial system, and the economic contraction abated.
After reaching a trough in March 2009, stocks galloped higher as the massive, coordinated global monetary and fiscal stimulus began to re-inflate world
economies. Sidelined cash poured into the markets, triggering a dramatic and steep upward rerating of stocks and other risk assets. Still, the rally has not
been without interruption, as mixed economic data, global challenges regarding sovereign credit risk and proposed fees and levies on banks had begun to
dampen investor conviction toward period end. The experience in international markets generally mirrored that seen in the United States; notably, emerging
markets firmly reclaimed their leadership status.
The easing of investor risk aversion was notable in the fixed income markets as well, where non-Treasury assets made a robust recovery. One of the major
themes over the past year was the reversal of the flight-to-quality trade. High yield finished the period as the strongest-performing fixed income sector in both
the taxable and tax-exempt space. Overall, the municipal market made a strong showing as technical conditions remained supportive of the asset class. The
Build America Bond program was deemed a success, adding $65 billion of taxable supply to the municipal marketplace in 2009 and $4 billion so far this
year. The program continues to alleviate tax-exempt supply pressure and attract the attention of a global audience. However, fundamental concerns are moving
to the fore in the municipal space, and bear close watching as the year progresses. At the same time, yields on money market securities declined throughout
the reporting period and remain near all-time lows, with the Federal Open Market Committee reiterating that economic circumstances are likely to necessitate
an accommodative interest rate stance for an “extended period.” Investor assets in money market funds declined from the peak registered in early 2009, but
remain well above pre-crisis levels.
All told, the rebound in sentiment and global market conditions resulted in positive 6- and 12-month returns for nearly every major benchmark index, with the
most dramatic improvement seen among risk assets.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2010
BlackRock MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc.
Investment Objective
BlackRock MuniHoldings California Insured Fund, Inc. (MUC) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal and
California income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term, investment-grade municipal obligations,
the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal and California income taxes.
No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Fund returned 6.10% based on market price, and 9.76% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same
period, the closed-end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 8.47% based on market price, and 8.71%
on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The performance of the Lipper category does not necessarily correlate to that of the Fund,
as the Lipper group comprises funds representing various states and not California alone. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period,
accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Fund maintains a relatively generous degree of
income accrual, which was a positive factor. The tightening of credit quality spreads in the uninsured basket of the Fund’s holdings also aided results. A
fully-invested posture and a slightly longer relative duration posture were additive, too, as rates declined in the second half of 2009. Throughout this period,
the municipal market benefited from the Build America Bond Program, which effectively moved supply to the taxable market and, thus, alleviated supply
pressure in the tax-exempt space. Conversely, downgrades of monoline insurers detracted from performance in all funds investing in bonds utilizing insur-
ance wraps. In addition, secondary market demand for insured municipals has decreased, limiting liquidity and widening spreads on insured bonds.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2010
BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Fund, Inc.
Investment Objective
BlackRock MuniYield Insured Investment Fund (MFT) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from
regular federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund, which was formerly named
BlackRock MuniYield Florida Insured Fund, also seeks to provide shareholders with shares the value of which is exempt from Florida intangible personal
property tax.
No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Fund returned 13.01% based on market price, and 8.52% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-
end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 10.18% based on market price, and 9.18% on a NAV basis. All
returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance
based on price and performance based on NAV. The Fund held a higher concentration in healthcare and housing bonds with maturities of 20 years and
longer, which benefited performance as the municipal yield curve flattened during the last six months. Meanwhile, the lack of availability in the national
insured market made it difficult to fully transition the Fund away from its holdings in Florida names. Many of these issues have weaker underlying credits,
thus also reducing their liquidity at current market prices. As these Florida names have underperformed the national market, this has detracted from
recent performance.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2010
BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Fund
Investment Objective
BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Fund (MPA) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal
and Pennsylvania income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term
municipal obligations the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal and Pennsylvania income taxes.
No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Fund returned 6.80% based on market price, and 7.72% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-
end Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 8.47% based on market price, and 8.71% on a NAV basis.
All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The performance of the Lipper category does not necessarily correlate to that of the Fund, as the Lipper group
comprises funds representing various states and not Pennsylvania alone. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the
difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Fund benefited from our effort to increase the portfolio weighting in
interest-rate-sensitive bonds as tax-exempt, 30-year interest rates rallied 43 basis points lower for the six months. Conversely, relative Fund performance
was negatively affected by its exposure to zero-coupon bonds, which remained out of favor with investors and underperformed current coupon bonds
throughout the period. The Fund was fully invested at period end due to the historically low yields earned on cash and cash equivalents; this will improve
the income generation component of the Fund’s total return.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of
their Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all
interest rate environments.
To leverage, the Funds issue Preferred Shares, which pay dividends at
prevailing short-term interest rates, and invests the proceeds in long-term
municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the
premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be based
on short-term interest rates, which normally will be lower than the income
earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent
that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from
leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Fund’s
Common Shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s Common Shares capital-
ization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional
$50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for investment
in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are
3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly
positive slope. In this case, the Fund pays dividends on the $50 million of
Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same
time, the securities purchased by the Fund with assets received from the
Preferred Shares issuance earn the income based on long-term interest
rates. In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are signifi-
cantly lower than the income earned on the Fund’s long-term investments,
and therefore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incre-
mental net income.
If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-
term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on
the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore,
if pervailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of
6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Fund pays divi-
dends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Fund’s total port-
folio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.
Furthermore, the value of the Fund’s portfolio investments generally varies
inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other
factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the
redemption value of the Fund’s Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in
relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence
the Fund’s NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Fund
performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.
The Funds may also leverage their assets through the use of tender option
bond (“TOB”) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Funds with
economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but
expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates
similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Funds, as
described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal
bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV
per share.
The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased returns to the
Funds and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates
risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will gen-
erally cause greater changes in the Funds’ NAV, market price and dividend
rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived
from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the
cost of leverage, the Funds’ net income will be greater than if leverage had
not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is
not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, the Funds’ net income will be
less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount avail-
able for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund
may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at dis-
tressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable
to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments,
which may cause a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each
Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types
of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed
by ratings agencies that rate preferred shares issued by the Funds. Each
Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of
which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the
Common Shares.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are permitted to
issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50% of its total managed
assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Fund
anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or
TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such
leverage is incurred. As of January 31, 2010, the Funds had economic
leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total
managed assets as follows:
| |
| | Percent of |
| | Leverage |
| MUC | 38% |
| MUJ | 37% |
| MFT | 39% |
| MIY | 38% |
| MJI | 35% |
| MPA | 36% |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative instruments, including finan-
cial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial
Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments
are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical
custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Such
derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation
between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset,
possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the
derivative instrument. Each Fund’s ability to successfully use a derivative
instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accurately pre-
dict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of
derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not
been used, may require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio securities at
inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appre-
ciation a Fund can realize on an investment or may cause a Fund to hold
a security that it might otherwise sell. The Funds’ investments in these
instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

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

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

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

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments, which are as follows:
• Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
• Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, repayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
• Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to the Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2010 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

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

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

certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for trust certifi-
cates were as follows:
| | | |
| | Underlying | Liability | |
| | Municipal Bonds | for Trust | Range of |
| | Transferred to TOBs | Certificates | Interest Rates |
| MUC | $189,876,607 | $105,199,537 | 0.19% – 0.34% |
| MUJ | $ 22,747,839 | $ 13,262,930 | 0.19% – 0.32% |
| MFT | $ 33,764,848 | $ 17,116,391 | 0.21% – 0.53% |
| MIY | $ 31,843,382 | $ 16,190,000 | 0.21% – 0.36% |
| MJI | $ 8,133,370 | $ 4,684,369 | 0.19% – 0.27% |
| MPA | $ 57,507,208 | $ 28,195,057 | 0.21% – 0.65% |
For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Funds’ average trust cer-
tificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate, including
fees, were as follows:
| | |
| | Average Trust | Daily Weighted |
| | Certificates | Average |
| | Outstanding | Interest Rate |
| MUC | $105,202,663 | 0.66% |
| MUJ | $ 13,262,930 | 0.69% |
| MFT | $ 15,977,649 | 0.73% |
| MIY | $ 16,190,000 | 0.66% |
| MJI | $ 4,684,369 | 0.31% |
| MPA | $ 27,518,124 | 0.82% |
Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in TOBs may
adversely affect the Funds’ investment income and distributions to
Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal
bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Funds’ net asset
value per share.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: Each Fund may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which
are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not
provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience
greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations
which provide for regular interest payments.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the
interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
require that the Funds either deliver collateral or segregate assets in con-
nection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), each
Fund will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters
issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and
records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least
equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically
segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with
certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has require-
ments to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting
purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transac-
tions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on
investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes all premiums and
discounts on debt securities.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are
declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on
the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions to Preferred
Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 6.
Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No
income tax returns are currently under examination. The statutes of limita-
tions on the Funds’ US federal tax returns remain open for the period
ended July 31, 2009 and the four years ended June 30, 2009 for MUC,
the four years ended July 31, 2009 for MUJ and the periods ended July
31, 2009 and 2008 and October 31, 2007 and 2006 for MFT, MIY,
MJI and MPA. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ state and local
tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon
the jurisdiction.
Recent Accounting Standards: In June 2009, amended guidance was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for transfers
of financial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, rep-
resentational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if
any, in transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and
measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers
occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclo-
sure provisions of the amended guidance should be applied to transfers
that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The
impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclo-
sures, if any, is currently being assessed.
In January 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance to improve disclo-
sure about fair value measurements which will require additional disclosure
about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures
about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for
fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). It
also clarifies existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disag-
gregation for fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques
used to measure fair value. The amended guidance is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December
15, 2009 except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and
settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements,
which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and
for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this guidance
on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures is currently
being assessed.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent
Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each
Fund’s Board, non-interested Directors (“Independent Directors”) may defer
a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts
earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been
invested in common shares of other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds
selected by the Independent Directors. This has approximately the same
economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent
Directors had invested the deferred amounts directly in other certain
BlackRock Closed-End Funds.
The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations there under
represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each
Fund. Each Fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of other
certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors
in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to
cover each Fund’s deferred compensation liability, if any, are included in
other assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and dis-
tributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Funds investments under the
plan are included in income — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other
operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those
funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Each
Fund has an arrangement with its custodian whereby fees may be reduced
by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are
shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The cust-
odians impose fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by
accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
Each Fund may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to
increase the return of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect,
exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk. Losses may arise if the
value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price
of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under
the contract. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties
are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the
risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation
and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices.
Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is
minimal because of the protection against default provided by the
exchanges on which they trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds may purchase or sell financial
futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain expo-
sure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest
rate risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of
securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant
to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an
amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such
receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by
the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the
Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time
it was closed. The use of financial futures transactions involves the risk of
an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures
contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

During the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Funds had limited activity in
these transactions.
3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC"), Bank of America
Corporation ("BAC") and Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays") are the largest
stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"). Due to the ownership
structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and
Barclays are not.
Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock
Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and
administration services.
The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such services,
each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee of the Fund’s average daily net
assets at the following annual rates:
| |
| MUC | 0.55% |
| MUJ | 0.55% |
| MFT | 0.50% |
| MIY | 0.50% |
| MJI | 0.50% |
| MPA | 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 has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees by the
amount of investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indi-
rectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, however the
Manager does not waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment
advisory fees through its investment in other affiliated investment compa-
nies. These amounts are included in fees waived by advisor in the
Statements of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2010 the
amounts waived were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
In addition, the Manager has agreed to waive its advisory fee on the pro-
ceeds of Preferred Shares and TOBs that exceed 35% of MUC and MUJ’s
average daily net assets. These amounts are included in fees waived by
advisor in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January
31, 2010, the amounts waived were as follows:
| |
| | Fees Waived |
| | by Manager |
| MUC | $291,423 |
| MUJ | $ 62,014 |
The Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with
BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the
Manager, under which the Manager pays BIM for services it provides, a
monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the
Fund to the Manager.
For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Funds reimbursed the
Manager for certain accounting services, which are included in accounting
services in the Statements of Operations.
| |
| | Reimbursement |
| MUC | $ 9,293 |
| MUJ | $ 4,983 |
| MFT | $ 1,749 |
| MIY | $ 4,003 |
| MJI | $ 1,941 |
| MPA | $ 2,580 |
Certain officers and/or directors of the Funds are officers and/or directors
of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for com-
pensation paid to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.
4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the
six months ended January 31, 2010 were as follows:
| | |
| | Purchases | Sales |
| MUC | $143,122,737 | $121,701,318 |
| MUJ | $ 28,704,648 | $ 27,102,308 |
| MFT | $ 49,805,933 | $ 37,445,896 |
| MIY | $ 52,069,825 | $ 49,414,851 |
| MJI | $ 9,679,659 | $ 12,562,053 |
| MPA | $ 20,194,216 | $ 6,433,749 |
5. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
MUC, MUJ, MIY, MJI, and MPA invest a substantial amount of their assets in
issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the
Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific states.
Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the
potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may
fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of
such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet
its obligation.
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter
into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market
risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit
risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to
certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securi-
ties are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy;
overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or eco-
nomic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations.
Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the
risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transac-
tions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to
credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash
due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and
counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is generally
approximated by their value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets
and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Fund.
6. Capital Share Transactions:
MFT and MPA are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common
Shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.10 per share together with 1
million Preferred Shares of beneficial interest, par value $ 0.05 per share.
Each Fund’s Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares
of Common Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.
MUC, MUJ, MIY, and MJI are authorized to issue 200 million shares, includ-
ing Preferred Shares, par value $0.10 per share or $0.05 per share, all of
which were initially classified as Common Shares. Each Fund’s Board is
authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares of Common Shares
without approval of Common Shareholders.
Common Shares
Shares issued and outstanding remained constant during the six months
ended January 31, 2010 and the year ended July 31, 2009.
Preferred Shares
The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Fund, in whole
or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference per
share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not
declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption
at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends,
whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition
of the assets and liabilities of a Fund, as set forth in each Fund’s Articles
Supplementary/Certificates of Designation (the “Governing Instrument”)
are not satisfied.
From time to time in the future, each Fund that has issued Preferred
Shares may effect repurchases of such shares at prices below their liqui-
dation preference as agreed upon by the Fund and seller. Each Fund also
may redeem such shares from time to time as provided in the applicable
Governing Instrument. Each Fund intends to effect such redemptions
and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable
asset coverage requirements or for such other reasons as the Board
may determine.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of
Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with the hold-
ers of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class. However, the
holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to
elect two Directors for each Fund. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that
along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the
approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares,
voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of
reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change
a Fund’s sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change
its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to
cease to be an investment company.
The Funds had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding,
effective yields and reset frequency at January 31, 2010:

1 The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher of
110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day
High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.
2 The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher of
100% plus or times (i) the Telerate/BBA LIBOR or (ii) 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day
High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.
Dividends on seven-day and 28-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at a
rate which is reset every seven or 28 days based on the results of an auc-
tion. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction date, the
affected Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the
Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods
until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum
applicable rate on the Preferred Shares is as footnoted applicable on the
above chart. The low, high and average dividend rates on the Preferred
Shares for each Fund for the six months ended January 31, 2010
were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Series | Low | High | Average |
| MUC | A | 0.24% | 0.58% | 0.43% |
| | B | 0.24% | 0.56% | 0.42% |
| | C | 0.24% | 0.56% | 0.42% |
| | D | 0.26% | 0.55% | 0.43% |
| | E | 0.26% | 0.55% | 0.44% |
| MUJ | A | 0.24% | 0.60% | 0.43% |
| | B | 0.24% | 0.56% | 0.42% |
| | C | 0.26% | 0.55% | 0.44% |
| | D | 0.26% | 0.55% | 0.43% |
| | E | 0.24% | 0.58% | 0.41% |
| MFT | A | 1.34% | 1.59% | 1.49% |
| | B | 0.24% | 0.58% | 0.43% |
| MIY | A | 0.26% | 0.55% | 0.44% |
| | B | 0.24% | 0.56% | 0.42% |
| | C | 0.26% | 0.55% | 0.43% |
| | D | 1.32% | 1.63% | 1.49% |
| MJI | A | 0.24% | 0.56% | 0.42% |
| | B | 1.32% | 1.61% | 1.48% |
| MPA | A | 0.24% | 0.58% | 0.43% |
| | B | 0.26% | 0.55% | 0.44% |
| | C | 1.32% | 1.61% | 1.48% |
Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of each Fund failed to clear
any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were
reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.24% to 1.63%
for the six months ended January 31, 2010. A failed auction is not an
event of default for the Funds, but it has a negative impact on the liquidity
of Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of
a fund’s auction rate preferred shares than buyers. A successful auction for
each Funds’ Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and
even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not have the
ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference.
The Funds may not declare dividends or make other distributions on
Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declara-
tion, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstand-
ing Preferred Shares is less than 200%.
The Funds pay commissions of 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount
of all shares that successfully clear their auctions and 0.15% on the aggre-
gate principal amount of all shares that fail to clear their auctions. Certain
broker dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions for
failed auctions.
During the year ended July 31, 2009, certain Funds announced the follow-
ing redemptions of Preferred Shares at a price of $25,000 per share plus
any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date:

The Funds financed the Preferred Share redemptions with cash received
from TOB transactions.
Preferred Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for the six
months ended January 31, 2010 for all Funds.

8. Restatement Information:
Subsequent to the initial issuance of the October 31, 2006 financial state-
ments for MIY and July 31, 2006 financial statements for MUJ, the Funds
determined that the criteria for sale accounting in FAS 140 had not been
met for certain transfers of municipal bonds related to investments in TOB
Residuals, and that these transfers should have been accounted for as
secured borrowings rather than as sales. As a result, certain financial high-
lights for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2005 (for
MIY) and for the year ended July 31, 2005 (for MUJ) have been restated to
give effect to recording the transfers of the municipal bonds as secured
borrowings, including recording interest on the bonds as interest income
and interest on the secured borrowings as interest expense.

52 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
JANUARY 31, 2010
Additional Information (continued)
Dividend Policy
The Funds’ dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net
investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to pro-
vide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the
Trusts may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment
income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular
month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to
net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends
paid by the Trusts for any particular month may be more or less than the
amount of net investment income earned by the Funds during such month.
The Funds’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income,
if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which com-
prises part of the financial information included in this report.
General Information
Electronic Delivery
Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Funds’ web-
sites or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly state-
ments, annual and semi-annual reports by enrolling in the Funds’ electronic
delivery program.
Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks
or Brokerages:
Please contact your financial advisor to enroll. 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 other-
wise. 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.
