Dear Shareholder

Economic data fluctuated widely throughout 2010, but as the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural prob-

lems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement. The sovereign debt crises

and emerging market inflation that troubled the global economy in 2010 remain a challenge to global growth, but overall levels of uncertainty are gradually

declining as the United States and the world economy are progressing from a stimulus-driven recovery into a consumption-driven expansion.

In the United States, the corporate sector has been an important area of strength and consumer spending has shown improvement, although weakness in

the housing and labor markets continues to burden the economy. It is important to note that we are in the midst of the first global economic recovery that

is being led by emerging economies, and the United States has only just begun its transition to a self-sustaining expansion, suggesting that economic

improvements still have a way to go.

Global equity markets experienced uneven growth and high volatility over the course of 2010, but ended the year strong. Stocks continued their advance

through most of January until the political unrest in Egypt and widespread discord across the Middle East caused a sharp, but temporary decline at the end

of the period. US stocks outpaced most international markets over the 12-month period. Small cap stocks outperformed large caps as investors moved into

higher-risk assets.

Fixed income markets saw yields trend lower over most of 2010, until the fourth quarter brought an abrupt reversal in sentiment and risk tolerance that

drove yields sharply upward (pushing prices downward) through year end and into the New Year. However, on a 12-month basis, yields were lower overall

and fixed income markets performed well. Conversely, the tax-exempt municipal market was dealt an additional blow as it became evident that the Build

America Bond program would expire at the end of 2010. In addition, negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments

damaged investor confidence and sparked additional volatility in the municipal market. These conditions began to moderate as the period came to a close

and the market has shown signs of improvement in supply-and-demand technicals.

Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates

remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

 

While no one can peer into a crystal ball and eliminate the uncertainties presented by the economic landscape and financial markets, BlackRock can offer

investors the next best thing: partnership with the world’s largest asset management firm and a unique global perspective that allows us to identify trends

early and capitalize on market opportunities. For additional market perspective and investment insight, visit www.blackrock.com/shareholdermagazine,

Municipal Market Overview

As of January 31, 2011

The municipal market began the period with a strong tone as rates fell (and prices rose) along with those of US Treasuries. However, the cliché of the
“perfect storm” of negative events all conspired in the final months of 2010, leading to the worst quarterly performance for the municipal market since
the tightening cycle of 1994. Treasury yields lost their support as concerns about the US deficit raised questions over the willingness of foreign investors
to continue to purchase Treasury securities, at least at the previous historically low yields. Municipal valuations also suffered a quick and severe setback
as it became evident that the Build America Bond (“BAB”) program would expire at year-end. The program had opened the taxable market to municipal
issuers, which had successfully alleviated supply pressure in the traditional tax-exempt marketplace, bringing down yields in that space.

The financial media has been replete with interviews, articles and presentations advertising the stress experienced in municipal finance, resulting in a
loss of confidence among retail investors who buy individual bonds or mutual funds. From the middle of November through year-end, funds specializing in
tax-exempt bonds witnessed weekly outflows averaging over $2.5 billion. Long-term and high-yield funds saw the greatest redemptions, followed by state-
specific funds to a lesser but still significant degree. Demand usually is strong at the beginning of the new year against a backdrop of low new-issue supply,
but the mutual fund outflows continued in January, putting additional upward pressure on municipal yields. Political uncertainty surrounding the midterm
elections and the approach taken by the new Congress on issues such as income tax rates and alternative minimum tax (and the previously mentioned
BAB non-extension) exacerbated the situation. All these conditions, combined with the seasonal illiquidity surrounding year-end holidays and dealers
closing their fiscal books, sapped willing market participation from the trading community.

As demand for municipal securities from traditional retail investors was declining and trading desk liquidity was being curtailed, there was no comparable
reduction in supply. As it became evident that the BAB program would be retired, issuers rushed deals to market both in the taxable municipal space and,
to a lesser degree, in the traditional tax-exempt space. This imbalance in the supply/demand technicals provided the classic market action, leading to wider
quality spreads and higher bond yields. The municipal curve steepened as the issuance was concentrated in longer (greater than 20-year) maturities. Curve
steepening that began in October accelerated in November, spurred on by Treasury weakness, heavy supply and record outflows. As measured by Thomson
Municipal Market Data, AAA-rated municipals rose nearly 82 basis points (“bps”) for maturities 25 years and longer from July 31, 2010, to January 31,
2011. The spread between two-year and 30-year maturities widened from 360 bps to 406 bps over the period.

The fundamental picture for municipalities will be subject to scrutiny for months to come, as the challenges to state and local budgets are real and need
to be addressed with significant cuts to expenses and tax revenue increases. The debates around austerity measures needed to succeed in balancing these
budgets are not over whether action needs to be taken, but over degree, approach and political will to accomplish these needs. The attention shone upon
municipal finance has the potential to improve this market for the future if these efforts result in greater means toward disclosure and accuracy (and timeli-
ness) of reporting. Early tests to judge progress will come soon as California, Illinois and Puerto Rico need to take austerity measures and access financing
in the municipal market to address relatively immediate fiscal imbalances. BlackRock favors a more constructive outlook for the municipal market heading
into 2011 as the typical, and this year particularly atypical, weakness passes.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011 BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.

Fund Overview

BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.’s (MNE) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide Common Shareholders with
high current income exempt from federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve
its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations exempt from federal income tax (except that the interest
may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and New York State and New York City personal income taxes. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund invests at least 75% of its assets in municipal obligations that are investment grade quality at the time of investment.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations with a duration of three to ten years.
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 six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (3.95)% based on market price and (3.72)% based on net asset value (“NAV”).
For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (4.76)% based on market
price and (3.09)% 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 hindered by a below-average yield relative to its Lipper category. In addition, the Fund’s long duration
bias relative to intermediate fund parameters detracted significantly in the rising interest rate environment of the period. A generally negative
municipal market further hindered Fund performance, as did the Fund’s low exposure to the pre-refunded sector that led the municipal market.
Similarly, the Fund’s exposure to the transportation sector detracted, as it was one of the poorest performers. On the positive side, the Fund’s
holdings in corporate-backed municipals aided performance as non-traditional investors identified the sector’s attractive investment opportunities
and subsequently drove up demand. Finally, the Fund benefited from exposure to the housing sector, which was one of the market’s better
performers, and lack of exposure to the tobacco sector, which was the worst performer.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011 BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc.

Fund Overview

BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc.’s (MZA) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current
income exempt from federal and Arizona income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management.
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations exempt from federal
income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and Arizona income taxes. Under normal
market conditions, the Fund expects to invest at least 75% of its assets in municipal obligations that are investment grade quality at the
time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

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

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (8.45)% based on market price and (6.37)% based on NAV. For the same
period, the closed-end Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (8.40)% based on market price and
(5.41)% 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 exposure to the housing sector contributed to performance as this sector outperformed the general municipal
market. Additionally, the Fund’s exposure to shorter-duration bonds and premium coupon bonds (6% or higher) benefited performance
in the rising interest rate environment of the period. Conversely, the Fund’s long duration stance detracted from performance, again due
to the rising rate environment. In addition, the Fund’s exposure to longer maturity bonds detracted as the long end of the yield curve
steepened during the period.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These
views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011 BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc.

Fund Overview

BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc.’s (MYC) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income
exempt from federal and California income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to
achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest
may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and California income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-
term municipal obligations that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically
through the use of derivatives.

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

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (8.75)% based on market price and (8.00)% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (9.24)% based on market price and (8.09)% 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 maintained a low average cash
reserve level, which benefited total return by delivering a competitive level of income accrual relative to the Lipper peer group. Increased exposure to tender
option bonds to take advantage of the historically steep municipal yield curve also benefited the income accrual. As a result, the Fund was able to increase
dividend payments twice over the period. In addition, the Fund’s holdings in corporate-backed municipals aided performance as non-traditional investors
identified the sector’s attractive investment opportunities and subsequently drove up demand. Conversely, a generally negative municipal market environ-
ment hindered Fund performance. Some widening of credit spreads, especially among California school districts and healthcare credits, detracted from
Fund performance, as did a relatively long duration posture given the rising interest rate environment of the period.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These

For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund returned (9.15)% based on market price and (8.44)% based on NAV. For the same
period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (8.46)% based on market
price and (6.45)% based on NAV. 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 market price and performance based on NAV. The
following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund’s exposure to longer-duration and longer-maturity bonds detracted
from performance as the long end of the yield curve steepened during the period. Additionally, the Fund’s holdings in the health care and
transportation sectors hindered performance as both sectors underperformed the general municipal market. Conversely, the Fund’s

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of
their common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”). However,
these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.

To leverage, the Funds issue preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”), which
pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the pro-
ceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is
based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from
leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will 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 income based on long-term interest rates.
In this case, the dividends paid to holders of Preferred Shares (“Preferred
Shareholders”) are significantly lower than the income earned on the
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 interest
expense on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Fund’s total
portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of the Funds’ portfolio investments generally varies
inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors
can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption
value of the Funds’ Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to inter-
est rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Funds’
NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Fund performance
from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.

The Funds may also leverage their assets through the use of TOBs, as
described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments
generally will provide the Funds with economic benefits in periods of
declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during
periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with
Preferred Shares issued by the Funds, as described above. Additionally,
fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the
TOB may adversely affect each 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 gener-
ally cause greater changes in the Funds’ NAVs, market prices and dividend
rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. If the income derived
from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the
cost of leverage, the Funds’ net income will be greater than if leverage had
not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is
not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, 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 of up to 50% of their total managed
assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Fund
anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or
TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such
leverage is incurred. As of January 31, 2011, the Funds had economic
leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total
managed assets as follows:

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial
futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial
Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instru-
ments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking
physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks.
Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation
between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset,
possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the
derivative instrument. The Funds’ ability to successfully use a derivative
instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accurately
predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use
of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not
been used, may require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio investments at
inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appre-
ciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends
paid to shareholders or may cause a Fund to hold an investment that it
might otherwise sell. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are
discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. (“MNE”),
BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc. (“MZA”), BlackRock MuniYield
California Fund, Inc. (“MYC”), BlackRock MuniYield Investment Fund
(“MYF”) and BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Fund, Inc. (“MYJ”) (collec-
tively, the “Funds” or individually as a “Fund”) are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as non-
diversified, closed-end management investment companies. MNE, MZA,
MYC and MYJ are organized as Maryland corporations. MYF is organized
as a Massachusetts business trust. 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 Boards of Directors and the Board 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 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 infor-
mation 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 det-
erminations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment
advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value
Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The
Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase
or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such trans-
actions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale
commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such con-
ditions 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, inc-
luding the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by
the counterparty, the Funds’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized
appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown on
the Schedules of Investments, if any.

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.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Funds
leverage their assets through the use of TOBs. A TOB is established by a
third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which one or
more funds, or an agent on behalf of the funds, transfers municipal bonds.
Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute
municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Fund has contributed bonds. A TOB
typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate
certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates
(“TOB Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds
that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right
of a Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the short-
term floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, including
during instances of a rise in short-term interest rates, and (2) to transfer,
within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the
TOB to a Fund. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of a
Fund upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agree-
ments. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of
the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the munic-
ipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of
the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of
the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate
certificates to third party investors. During the six months ended January
31, 2011, no TOBs that the Funds participated in were terminated without
the consent of the Funds.

The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate
certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund, which typically
invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Each Fund’s transfer of the
municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, 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, including amortization and accretion of premiums and dis-
counts, 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

38 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2011

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

to a TOB are shown as interest expense and fees in the Statements of
Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have interest rates that
generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certifi-
cates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At January 31,
2011, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred
to TOBs, the related liability for trust certificates and the range of interest
rates on the liability for trust certificates were as follows:

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Funds’ average trust
certificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rates,
including fees, were as follows:

 

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

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and
the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) require that the Funds either deliver collateral or segregate assets
in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts),
the Funds will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters
issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on their books and
records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal
to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segre-
gated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain
exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements
to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting
purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transac-
tions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on
investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.
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 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 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 limita-
tions on each Fund’s US federal tax return remains open for each of the
four periods ended as follows:

 

The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns
may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that
require recognition of a tax liability.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent
Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each
Fund’s Board, non-interested Directors (“Independent Directors”) may defer
a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts
earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been
invested in common shares of certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds
selected by the Independent Directors. This has approximately the same
economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent
Directors had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain other
BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations 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 dis-
tributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan
if any, 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.
The Funds have an arrangement with the custodians whereby fees may
be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which if

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

applicable are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of
Operations. The custodians impose fees on overdrawn cash balances,
which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in
additional custody charges.

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative
contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and to economically
hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk.
These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.

Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavor-
able change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if
the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk
related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be
minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange
on which these contracts trade.

Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase or sell financial futures
contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to,
or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate
risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between a Fund 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 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 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.

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the average quarterly
balances of outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows:

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 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 as follows:

 

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

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment 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 investment advisory fees by the amount of
investment advisory fees paid through each Fund’s investment in other affil-
iated investment companies, if any. These amounts are shown as fees
waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations. For the six months
ended January 31, 2011, the amounts waived were as follows:

 

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

For the period August 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, each Fund
reimbursed the Manager for certain accounting services, which are

included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations. The reim-
bursements were as follows:

 

Effective January 1, 2011, the Funds no longer reimburse the Manager for
accounting services.

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, 2011, were as follows:

 

5. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

MNE, MZA, MYC and MYJ 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 fluct-
uations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to count-
erparty 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 January 31, 2011, MZA and MYC invest a significant portion of
their assets in the County/City/Special District/School District and Utilities
sectors. MYF invests a significant portion of its assets in securities in the
County/City/Special District/School District sector. MYJ invests a significant
portion of its assets in securities in the State sector. Changes in economic
conditions affecting the County/City/Special District/School District, State
and Utilities sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds, and could
affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

6. Capital Share Transactions:

Each Fund, except for MYF, is authorized to issue 200 million shares (MYF
is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, par value $0.10 per
share) including Preferred Shares, all of which were initially classified as
Common Shares. Each Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any
unissued shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

Common Shares

For the periods shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by the
following amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:

 

Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for MNE and MYC
for the six months ended January 31, 2011 and the year ended
July 31, 2010.

Preferred Shares

The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Fund, in whole
or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference
per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not
declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption
at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends,
whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition
of the assets and liabilities of a Fund, as set forth in each Fund’s Articles
of Supplementary/ Statement of Preferences/Certificate of Designation
as applicable, (the “Governing Instrument”) are not satisfied.

From time to time in the future, each Fund may effect repurchases of its
Preferred Shares at prices below their liquidation preference as agreed
upon by the Fund and seller. Each Fund also may redeem its Preferred
Shares from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing
Instrument. Each Fund intends to effect such redemptions and/or repur-
chases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage
requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine.

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 holders
of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class. However, the
holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to
elect two Directors for each Fund. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that
along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the
approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares,
voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of
reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change
a Fund’s sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change
its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to
cease to be an investment company.

The Funds had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding,
effective yields and reset frequency as of January 31, 2011:

¹ The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher of
110% plus or times (i) the Telerate/BAA LIBOR or (ii) 90% of Kenny S&P 30-day
High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.
² The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher of
110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day
High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.

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

Preferred Shares for each Fund for the six months ended January 31,
2011 were as follows:

 

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of the Funds failed to clear
any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were
reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.37% to 1.56%
for the six months ended January 31, 2011. A failed auction is not an
event of default for the Funds but it has a negative impact on the liquidity
of Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of
a Fund’s auction rate Preferred Shares than buyers. A successful auction
for the Funds’ Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and
even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not have the
ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference.

The Funds may not declare dividends or make other distributions on
Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the
declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to
the outstanding Preferred Shares is less than 200%.

The Funds pay commissions of 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount
of all shares that fail to clear their auctions and 0.25% on the aggregate
principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions.
Certain broker dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions
for failed auctions.

Preferred Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for the six
months ended January 31, 2011 and the year ended July 31, 2010 for
all Funds.

During the period, MZA, MYC, MYF and MYJ entered into a Fee Agreement
(the “Agreement”) with a financial institution in relation to the potential
refinancing of Preferred Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,
effective February 1, 2011 MZA, MYC, MYF and MYJ will pay a liquidity fee,
through the earlier of the date of the potential refinancing or July 1, 2011,
at an annual rate of 0.50% of the potential refinancing amounts.

subsequently adjourned to October 5, 2010; and action on the proposal regarding preferred shares nominees’ election for MNE, MZA and MYJ was addi-

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
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 com-
prises part of the financial information included in this report.
