A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

For more than a year, investors have been besieged by a weak housing market, the bursting of the credit bubble that has

troubled the financial sector, and surging food and oil prices, which have stoked inflation concerns. Healthy nonfinancial

corporate profits and robust exporting activity remained among the few bright spots, helping the economy to grow at a

modest, but still positive, pace.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) has been aggressive in its attempts to stimulate economic growth and stabilize

financial markets. In addition to slashing the target federal funds rate 325 basis points (3.25%) between September

2007 and April 2008, the central bank introduced the new Term Securities Lending Facility, granted broker-dealers access

to the discount window and used its own balance sheet to help negotiate the sale of Bear Stearns. However, the end of

the period saw a pause in Fed action; the central bank held the target rate steady at 2.0% as it attempted to balance

weak growth and inflationary pressures.

The Fed’s bold response to the financial crisis helped mitigate credit stress and investor anxiety, albeit temporarily.

U.S. equity markets sank sharply over the reporting period, notwithstanding a brief rally in the spring and another in

mid-summer, and international markets followed suit.

Treasury securities also traded in a volatile fashion, but generally rallied (yields fell as prices correspondingly rose), as

the broader flight-to-quality theme persisted. The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which fell to 3.34% in March, climbed

to the 4.20% range in mid-June as investors temporarily shifted out of Treasury issues in favor of riskier assets (such as

stocks and other high-quality fixed income sectors), then reversed course and declined to 3.99% by period-end when

credit fears re-emerged. Meanwhile, tax-exempt issues underperformed their taxable counterparts, as problems among

municipal bond insurers and the failure in the market for auction rate securities continued to pressure the group.

Overall, the major benchmark indexes generated results that reflected heightened risk aversion:

Shortly before this shareholder report mailing, the investment landscape was dramatically altered as the ongoing

credit crisis intensified, resulting in a widespread breakdown in the financial services sector and unprecedented govern-

ment intervention. Through periods of market turbulence, as ever, BlackRock's full resources are dedicated to the

management of our clients’ assets. For our most current views on the economy and financial markets, we invite you

Fund Summary as of July 31, 2008 BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

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

Performance

For the 12 months ended July 31, 2008, the Fund returned (2.22)% based on market price and (0.30)% 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 (1.42)% 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. A neutral duration posture and a relatively higher cash equivalent reserve position versus its Lipper
peers provided the Fund NAV some cushion. Additionally, a portion of the competitive group appeared to hold higher percentages of securities exposed to
credit spread widening, such as monoline wraps, whose value was diminished by downgrades. Management’s strategy is to pursue a balanced approach
to returns, emphasizing income and muting price volatility. Management has also pursued transactions aimed at swapping into bonds wrapped by those
monoline insurers that have less subprime mortgage exposure and therefore, are more apt to maintain a higher paying ability rating.

Fund Summary as of July 31, 2008 BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc.

Investment Objective

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

Performance

For the 12 months ended July 31, 2008, the Fund returned (6.25)% based on market price and (1.07)% 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 (1.42)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect
reinvestment of dividends. The performance of the Lipper category does not necessarily correlate to that of the Fund, as the Lipper group comprises funds
representing various states and not Michigan alone. Nevertheless, the Fund’s short duration position benefited performance during a period of rising tax-
exempt bond yields. Although the Fund increased its exposure to lower-rated bonds, limiting exposure to these issues also enhanced results, as these
issues significantly underperformed over the last year amid dramatic widening in credit spreads.

Fund Summary as of July 31, 2008 BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

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

Performance

For the 12 months ended July 31, 2008, the Fund returned (2.03)% based on market price and (0.69)% 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 (1.42)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect
reinvestment of dividends. The performance of the Lipper category does not neccessarily correlate to that of the Fund, as the Lipper group comprises funds
representing various states and not New York alone. The Fund’s greater-than-average distribution rate, in conjunction with a largely neutral duration position
during a period of rising interest rates and municipal bond relative underperformance, benefited comparative results. Conversely, relative returns were ham-
pered by the Fund’s longer-dated holdings, which proved more volatile as risk spreads increased and the municipal yield curve steepened.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield
Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield New York
Insured Fund, Inc. (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”)
utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their Common
Stock. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest
rate environments.

To leverage, the Funds issue Preferred Stock, which pay dividends at pre-
vailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in long-term
municipal bonds. The interest earned on these investments is paid to
Common Stock shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of
these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share net asset value of
the Funds’ Common Stock. However, in order to benefit Common Stock
shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-
term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. At the
same time, a period of generally declining interest rates will benefit
Common Stock shareholders. If either of these conditions change,
then the risks of leveraging will begin to outweigh the benefits.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a fund’s Common Stock capitali-
zation of $100 million and the issuance of Preferred Stock 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 approximately 3% and long-term interest rates are
approximately 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. The fund
pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Stock based on the lower
short-term interest rates. At the same time, the fund’s total portfolio of
$150 million earns income based on long-term interest rates.

In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Stock shareholders are
significantly lower than the income earned on the fund’s long-term
investments, and therefore the Common Stock shareholders are the
beneficiaries of the incremental yield. However, if short-term interest
rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term
interest rates, the incremental yield pickup on the Common Stock will
be reduced or eliminated completely. At the same time, the market
value of the fund’s Common Stock (that is, its price as listed on the

New York Stock Exchange) may, as a result, decline. Furthermore, if long-
term interest rates rise, the Common Stock’s NAV will reflect the full
decline in the price of the portfolio’s investments, since the value of the
fund’s Preferred Stock does not fluctuate. In addition to the decline in
NAV, the market value of the fund’s Common Stock may also decline.

In addition, the Funds may from time to time leverage their assets
through the use of tender option bond (“TOB”) programs. In a typical
TOB program, the Fund transfers one or more municipal bonds to a TOB
trust, which issues short-term variable rate securities to third-party
investors and a residual interest to the Fund. The cash received by the
TOB trust from the issuance of the short-term securities (less transaction
expenses) is paid to the Fund, which invests the cash in additional port-
folio securities. The distribution rate on the short-term securities is reset
periodically (typically every seven days) through a remarketing of the
short-term securities. Any income earned on the bonds in the TOB trust,
net of expenses incurred by the TOB trust, that is not paid to the holders
of the short-term securities is paid to the Fund. In connection with man-
aging the Funds’ assets, the Funds’ investment advisor may at any time
retrieve the bonds out of the TOB trust typically within seven days. TOB
investments generally will provide a Fund with economic benefits in
periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Fund to
risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those
associated with Preferred Stock issued by the Fund, as described above.
Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal securities
deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect the Funds’ NAVs per
share. (See Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements for details of
municipal bonds transferred to TOB trusts.)

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are permitted
to issue Preferred Stock in an amount of up to 50% of their total
managed assets at the time of issuance. Each Fund also anticipates
that its total economic leverage from Preferred Stock and TOBs will
not exceed 50% of its total managed assets. As of July 31, 2008,
BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield
Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield New York
Insured Fund, Inc. had leverage from Preferred Stock and TOBs of 40%,
42% and 41% of their total managed assets, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield
Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield New York
Insured Fund, Inc. (the “Funds” or individually as the “Fund”), are regis-
tered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“1940 Act”), as non-diversified, closed-end management investment
companies. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which may require the use of management accruals and
estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Funds
recently changed their fiscal year end to July 31. The Funds determine,
and make available for publication, the net asset values of their
Common Stock on a daily basis.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Funds:

Valuation of Investments: Municipal investments (including commit-
ments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are
valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services
selected under the supervision of each Fund’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing
services may use certain information with respect to transactions in
such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market
transactions in comparable investments and various relationships
between investments. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges
are valued at their last sale price. Swap agreements are valued by quot-
ed fair values received daily by each Fund’s pricing service or through
brokers. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at
net asset value each business day. Short-term securities are valued at
amortized cost.

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, the investment will be valued by
a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value
Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the invest-
ment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that
the Funds 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
the sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is
subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Funds may engage in various
portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Funds
and to hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements
and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value
of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of
the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under
the contract.

Financial futures contracts — Each Fund may purchase or sell finan-
cial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts. Futures
contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific
future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a con-
tract, the Fund deposits, and maintains as collateral such initial mar-
gin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected.
Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees 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 vari-
ation and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.
When the contract is closed, the Fund records 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.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may
purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement
of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the
purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securi-
ties under such conditions only 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. Upon making a
commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Funds
will hold liquid assets worth at least the equivalent of the amount due.

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 securities. Other funds managed by the
investment advisor may also contribute municipal securities to a TOB
into which each Fund has contributed securities. A TOB typically issues
two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates,
which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB
Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that
made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right of
the Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the floating
rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, and (2) to transfer,
within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal securities
from the TOB to the Fund. 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 invest the cash in additional municipal
securities. Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal securities to a TOB
is accounted for as a secured borrowing, therefore the municipal securi-
ties deposited into a TOB are presented in the Funds’ Schedules of
Investments and the proceeds from the transaction are reported as a
liability of the Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Interest income from the underlying securities is recorded by the Funds
on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing
and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee
services to a TOB are reported as expenses of the Funds. The floating
rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their
holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption
at par at each reset date. As of July 31, 2008, the aggregate value of
the underlying municipal securities transferred to TOBs, the related liabil-
ity for trust certificates and the range of interest rates were as follows:

Underlying
Municipal
    Securities    Liability for    Range of 
    Transferred    Trust    Interest 
    to TOBs    Certificates    Rates 

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniYield             
   California Insured            1.695% – 
   Fund, Inc    $217,301,975    $129,530,364    2.715% 

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniYield             
   Michigan Insured            1.735% – 
   Fund II, Inc    $ 48,990,224    $ 26,729,305    2.907% 

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniYield             
   New York Insured            1.727% – 
   Fund, Inc    $195,706,961    $105,536,807    2.741% 

 
 
 

Financial transactions executed through TOBs generally will underperform
the market for fixed rate municipal bonds in a rising interest rate envi-
ronment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when
interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Should short-term
interest rates rise, each Fund’s investment in TOBs likely will adversely
affect each Fund’s investment income and dividends to common stock
shareholders. Fluctuations in the market value of municipal securities
deposited into the TOB may adversely affect each Fund’s net asset
values per share.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds,
which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and
do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may
experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt
obligations which provide for regular interest payments.

Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive
positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require
that the Funds segregate assets in connection with certain investments
(e.g., futures) and certain borrowings, the Funds will, consistent with
certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on their books
and records cash or other liquid debt securities having a market value
at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be
physically segregated.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment trans-
actions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into
(the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security 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. The Funds amortize 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 share-
holders are accrued and determined as described in Note 4.

Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment compa-
nies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its share-
holders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Effective April 30, 2008, the Funds implemented Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a
tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in
income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity, includ-
ing investment companies, before being measured and recognized in the
financial statements. The investment advisor has evaluated the applica-
tion of FIN 48 to each Fund, and has determined that the adoption of
FIN 48 does not have a material impact on each Fund’s financial state-
ments. The Funds file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns.
No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of
limitations on each Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the
years ended October 31, 2005 through October 31, 2007. The statutes
of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain
open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The impact on each Fund’s financial statement disclo-
sures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In addition, in February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 159 permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.
FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different
measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The
impact on each Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently
being assessed.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
“Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”), was issued and
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161
is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by
requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how
and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for,
and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations
and financial position. The impact on each Fund’s financial statement
disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

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

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereun-
der represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of
the Funds. The Funds may, however elect to invest in common stock of
other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent
Directors in order to match their deferred compensation obligations.
Investments to cover the Funds’ deferred compensation liabilities are
included in other assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund
investments under the plan are included in income from affiliates
on the Statement of Operations.

Other: Expenses directly related to each Fund are charged to that
Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated
among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropri-
ate methods.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

Each Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned
subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and
administration services. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) are principal owners of
BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor 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 ser-
vices, each Fund pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of
the Fund’s average daily net assets. Average daily net assets is the

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

The Advisor has agreed to waive its advisory fee by the amount of
investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Advisor indirectly
through its investment in affiliated money market funds, which are
shown on the Statements of Operations as fees waived by advisor.

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

For the period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 and the year ended
October 31, 2007, the Funds reimbursed the Advisor for certain
accounting services, which are included in accounting services in the
Statements of Operations. The reimbursements were as follows:

    Period    Year Ended 
    November 1, 2007    October 31, 
    to July 31, 2008    2007 

 
 
BlackRock MuniYield California Insured         
   Fund, Inc    $ 9,540    $14,652 
BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured

BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured         
   Fund, Inc    $10,301    $17,123 

 
 

Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may be
reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances, which are
shown on the Statements of Operations as fees paid indirectly.

Certain officers and/or directors of the Funds are officers and/or direc-
tors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Advisor
for the compensation paid to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.

3. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for
the period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 were as follows:

4. Capital Stock Transactions:

Each Fund is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of stock, all of
which were initially classified as Common Stock, with a par value of
$0.10 per share. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unis-
sued shares of common stock without approval of the holders of
Common Stock.

The Funds financed the Preferred Stock redemptions with cash received
from TOBs.

Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended October 31,
2007 and October 31, 2006 remained constant.

Dividends on seven-day Preferred Stock are cumulative at a rate, which
is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. Dividends
on 28 day Preferred Stock are cumulative at a rate which is reset every
28 days based on the results of an auction. If the Preferred Stock fails
to clear the auction on an auction date, the Fund is required to pay
the maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Stock to holders of such
shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the stock is
successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on the Preferred
Stock is footnoted as applicable on the above chart. For the period
ended July 31, 2008, the Preferred Stock of each Fund was successfully
auctioned at each auction date until February 13, 2008. The low, high
and average dividend rates on the Preferred Stock for each Fund for the
period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 were as follows:

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Stock of each Fund failed to
clear any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Stock dividend rates
were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 2.58%
to 5.198% . A failed auction is not an event of default for the Fund but
has a negative impact on the liquidity of the Preferred Stock. A failed
auction occurs when there are more sellers of a fund’s auction rate
preferred stock than buyers. It is impossible to predict how long this
imbalance will last. A successful auction for each Fund’s Preferred Stock
may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume,
holders of Preferred Stock may not have the ability to sell the Preferred
Stock at its liquidation preference.

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

The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of each Fund, in
whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share
plus any accumulated unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The
Preferred Stock is also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000
per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not
declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the
assets and liabilities of each Fund, as set forth in each Fund’s Articles
Supplementary, are not satisfied.

The holders of Preferred Stock have voting rights equal to the holders of
Common Stock (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders
of Common Stock (one vote per share) as a single class. However, the

holders of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to
elect two Directors for a 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 Stock,
voting separately as a class, would be required to (a) adopt any plan of
reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Stock
(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.

5. Income Tax Information:

Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America require that certain components of net assets
be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and
tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net
asset values per share.

During the current year, $307,896 has been reclassified in BlackRock
MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc. between accumulated net realized
loss and undistributed net investment income as a result of permanent dif-
ferences attributable to amortization methods on fixed income securities.

During the current year, $1,343,331 has been reclassified in BlackRock
MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. between paid-in capital in
excess of par and accumulated net realized loss and $1,809 has been
reclassified between accumulated net realized loss and undistributed
net investment income as a result of permanent differences attributable
to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards and amortization methods
on fixed income securities.

During the current year, $7,390,734 has been reclassified in BlackRock
MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc. between paid-in capital in excess of
par and accumulated net realized loss and $34,207 has been reclassified
between accumulated net realized loss and distributions in excess of net
investment income as a result of permanent differences attributable to the
expiration of capital loss carryforwards and amortization methods on fixed
income securities.

treatment of residual interests in tender option bond trusts and the deferral of com-
pensation to trustees.

6. Concentration Risk:

Each Fund’s investments are concentrated in certain states, which may
be affected by adverse financial, social, environmental, economic, regu-
latory and political factors.

Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which reduces
the risk of loss due to issuer default. 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.

7. Subsequent Events:

Each Fund paid a net investment income dividend to holders of its
Common Stock on September 2, 2008 to shareholders of record on
August 15, 2008. The amount of the net investment income dividend per
share was as follows:

    Distribution

34 ANNUAL REPORT

JULY 31, 2008


Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

On September 12, 2008, the Board of Directors of BlackRock MuniYield
California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured
Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc.
voted unanimously to change certain investment guidelines of the
Funds. Under normal market conditions, the Funds are required to invest
at least 80% of their total assets in municipal bonds either (i) insured
under an insurance policy purchased by the Funds or (ii) insured under
an insurance policy obtained by the issuer of the municipal bond or
any other party. Historically, the Funds have had an additional non-
fundamental investment policy limiting its purchase of insured municipal
bonds to those bonds insured by insurance providers with claims-paying
abilities rated AAA or Aaa at the time of investment.

Following the onset of the credit and liquidity crises currently troubling
the financial markets, the applicable rating agencies lowered the claims-
paying ability rating of most of the municipal bond insurance providers
below the highest rating category. As a result, the Advisor recommended,
and the Board approved, an amended policy with respect to the pur-
chase of insured municipal bonds that such bonds must be insured by
insurance providers or other entities with claims-paying abilities rated at
least investment grade. This investment grade restriction is measured at
the time of investment, and the Funds will not be required to dispose of
municipal bonds they hold in the event of subsequent downgrades. The
approved changes do not alter the Funds’ investment objectives.

The Advisor and the Board believe the amended policy will allow
the Advisor to better manage the Funds’ portfolios in the best
interests of the Funds’ shareholders and to better meet the Funds’
investment objectives.

it has agreed to acquire Merrill Lynch, one of the principal owners of
BlackRock, Inc. The purchase has been approved by the directors of
both companies. Subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, the
transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2009.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Boards of Directors of BlackRock
MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock
MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock
MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of BlackRock MuniYield
California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured
Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc. (the
“Funds”), as of July 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations
for the period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 and the year ended
October 31, 2007, the statements of changes in net assets for the
period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 and for each of the two
years in the period ended October 31, 2007, and the financial highlights
for the period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 and for each of the
five years in the period ended October 31, 2007. These financial state-
ments and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ man-
agement. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assur-
ance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform, audits of their internal control over finan-
cial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by manage-
ment, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31,
2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies
were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield
Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured
Fund, Inc. as of July 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the
period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 and for the year ended
October 31, 2007, the changes in their net assets for the period
November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 and for each of the two years in
the period ended October 31, 2007, and the financial highlights for
the period November 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008 and for each of the five
years in the period ended October 31, 2007, in conformity with account-
ing principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

The Board of Directors (collectively, the “Board,” the members of which
are referred to as “Directors”) of the BlackRock MuniYield California
Insured Fund, Inc. (“MCA”), BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund
II, Inc. (“MYM”) and BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc.
(“MYN,” and together with MCA and MYM, the “Funds”) met in April
and May 2008 to consider approving the continuation of each Fund’s
investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), each Fund’s investment adviser.
The Board also considered the approval of each Fund’s subadvisory
agreement (each, a “Subadvisory Agreement” and, together with the
“Advisory Agreement,” the “Agreements”) between the Advisor and
BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Subadvisor”). The Advisor
and the Subadvisor are collectively referred to herein as the “Advisors”
and, together with BlackRock, Inc., “BlackRock.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

The Board of each Fund consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom
are not “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”).
The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the
Funds and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of invest-
ment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Directors have
retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with
their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Director. The
Board has established four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a
Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee and
a Performance Oversight Committee.

Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

Upon the consummation of the combination of BlackRock, Inc.’s invest-
ment management business with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment
management business, including Merrill Lynch Investment Managers,
L. ., and certain affiliates, each Fund entered into an Advisory Agreement
and a Subadvisory Agreement, each with an initial two-year term.
Consistent with the 1940 Act, after the Advisory Agreement’s and
Subadvisory Agreement’s respective initial two-year term, the Board is
required to consider the continuation of each Fund’s Advisory Agreement
and Subadvisory Agreement on an annual basis. In connection with this
process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope
and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the personnel of
BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment advisory services,
administrative services, secondary market support services, oversight
of fund accounting and custody, and assistance in meeting legal and
regulatory requirements. The Board also received and assessed informa-
tion regarding the services provided to each Fund by certain unaffiliated
service providers.

Throughout the year, the Board also considered a range of information
in connection with its oversight of the services provided by BlackRock
and its affiliates. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a)
investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as appli-
cable, against peer funds, as well as senior management and portfolio
managers’ analysis of the reasons for underperformance, if applicable;
(b) fees, including advisory, administration and other fees paid to
BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund, as applicable; (c) Fund oper-
ating expenses paid to third parties; (d) the resources devoted to and
compliance reports relating to each Fund’s investment objective, policies
and restrictions; (e) each Fund’s compliance with its Code of Ethics and
compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character
of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its
affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls;
(h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting guidelines approved
by the Board; (i) execution quality; (j) valuation and liquidity procedures;
and (k) reviews of BlackRock’s business, including BlackRock’s response
to the increasing scale of its business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Advisory
Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

To assist the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements, the Directors
received information from BlackRock in advance of the April 22, 2008
meeting which detailed, among other things, the organization, business
lines and capabilities of the Advisors, including: (a) the responsibilities
of various departments and key personnel and biographical information
relating to key personnel; (b) financial statements for BlackRock; (c) the
advisory and/or administrative fees paid by each Fund to the Advisors,
including comparisons, compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independ-
ent third party, with the management fees, which include advisory and
administration fees, of funds with similar investment objectives (“Peers”);
(d) the profitability of BlackRock and certain industry profitability analy-
ses for advisers to registered investment companies; (e) the expenses
of BlackRock in providing various services; (f) non-investment advisory
reimbursements, if applicable, and “fallout” benefits to BlackRock; (g)
economies of scale, if any, generated through the Advisors’ management
of all of the BlackRock closed-end funds (the “Fund Complex”); (h) the
expenses of each Fund, including comparisons of each such Fund’s
expense ratios (both before and after any fee waivers) with the expense
ratios of its Peers; (i) an internal comparison of management fees clas-
sified by Lipper, if applicable; and (j) each Fund’s performance for the
past one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, as well as each
Fund’s performance compared to its Peers.

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to
the approval process, where applicable, such as payments made to
BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Fund shares,
services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings,
and direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from
their relationship with the Funds.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to
the Independent Directors provided a legal memorandum outlining,
among other things, the duties of the Board under the 1940 Act, as
well as the general principles of relevant law in reviewing and approving
advisory contracts, the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters,
an adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and com-
pensation, and the standards used by courts in determining whether
investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and
the factors to be considered by boards in voting on advisory agreements.

The Independent Directors reviewed this information and discussed it
with independent legal counsel prior to the meeting on April 22, 2008.
At the Board meeting on April 22, 2008, BlackRock made a presenta-
tion to and responded to questions from the Board. Following the meet-
ing on April 22, 2008, the Board presented BlackRock with questions
and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these
requests with additional written materials provided to the Directors prior
to the meetings on May 29 and 30, 2008. At the Board meetings on
May 29 and 30, 2008, BlackRock responded to further questions from
the Board. In connection with BlackRock’s presentations, the Board
considered each Agreement and, in consultation with independent legal
counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) statements relating to the renewal
of the Agreements.

Matters Considered by the Board

In connection with its deliberations with respect to the Agreements,
the Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to
each Fund, including the following: the nature, extent and quality of the
services provided by the Advisors; the investment performance of each
Fund; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized
by the Advisors and their affiliates from their relationship with the Funds;
the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund
Complex grows; and whether BlackRock realizes other benefits from
its relationship with the Funds.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: In evaluating the nature,
extent and quality of the Advisors’ services, the Board reviewed infor-
mation concerning the types of services that the Advisors provide
and are expected to provide to each Fund, narrative and statistical
information concerning each Fund’s performance record and how such
performance compares to each Fund’s Peers, information describing
BlackRock’s organization and its various departments, the experience
and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Board
noted the willingness of the personnel of BlackRock to engage in
open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board further considered
the quality of the Advisors’ investment process in making portfolio
management decisions.

In addition to advisory services, the Directors considered the quality of
the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the
Funds. The Advisors and their affiliates provided each Fund with such
administrative and other services, as applicable (in addition to any such
services provided by others for the Funds), and officers and other per-
sonnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Fund. In
addition to investment management services, the Advisors and their
affiliates provided each Fund with services such as: preparing share-
holder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual
financial statements and the Funds’ websites; communications with
analysts to support secondary market trading; assisting with daily
accounting and pricing; preparing periodic filings with regulators and
stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other
service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and
preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal and
compliance support (such as helping to prepare proxy statements and
responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Fund adminis-
trative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Fund (such
as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). The Board
considered the Advisors’ policies and procedures for assuring compli-
ance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: As previ-
ously noted, the Board received performance information regarding each
Fund and its Peers. Among other things, the Board received materials
reflecting each Fund’s historic performance and each Fund’s perform-
ance compared to its Peers. More specifically, each Fund’s one-, three-
and five-year total returns (as applicable) were evaluated relative to its
Peers (including the Peers’ median performance).

The Board reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper
data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors
that affect Lipper rankings.

The Board noted that each of MCA and MYM performed below the
median of their respective Peers in at least two of the one-, three-
and five-year periods reported. The Board then discussed with repre-
sentatives of BlackRock the reasons for each of MCA’s and MYM’s
underperformance during these periods compared with their respective
Peers. The Board noted that the underperformance of MCA was generally
due to its having a lower duration than that of its Peers and underutiliza-
tion of its ability to invest in lower grade securities. The Board noted that
the underperformance of MYM was generally due to the underutilization
of its ability to invest in uninsured securities and its investment in higher
grade securities relative to its Peers.

38 ANNUAL REPORT

JULY 31, 2008


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

For each of MCA and MYM, the Board concluded that BlackRock was
committed to providing the resources necessary to assist the portfolio
managers and to continue improving each Fund’s performance. Based
on its review, the Board generally was satisfied with BlackRock’s efforts
to manage each of the Funds.

The Board noted that, although MYN underperformed its Peers in at least
two of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, it outperformed its
Peers in a subset of the Lipper universe in at least two of such periods
based on a customized performance comparison provided by BlackRock
which gives a greater significance to current distributions, providing a
more accurate comparison.

After considering this information, the Boards concluded that the
performance of each Fund, in light of and after considering the other
facts and circumstances applicable to each Fund, supports a conclusion
that each Fund’s Agreements should be renewed.

C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services
and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their
Relationship with the Funds: In evaluating the management fees and
expenses that each Fund is expected to bear, the Board considered
each Fund’s current management fee structure and each Fund’s expense
ratios in absolute terms as well as relative to the fees and expense
ratios of its applicable Peers. The Board, among other things, reviewed
comparisons of each Fund’s gross management fees before and after
any applicable reimbursements and fee waivers and total expense ratios
before and after any applicable waivers with those of applicable Peers.
The Board also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings pre-
pared by Lipper and summarized by BlackRock at the request of the
Board. This summary placed the Peer rankings into context by analyzing
various factors that affect these comparisons.

The Board noted that the Funds paid contractual management fees
lower than or equal to the median contractual fees paid by their respec-
tive Peers. This comparison was made without giving effect to any
expense reimbursements or fee waivers.

The Board also compared the management fees charged and ser-
vices provided by the Advisors to closed-end funds in general versus
other types of clients (such as open-end investment companies and
separately managed institutional accounts) in similar investment
categories. The Board noted certain differences in services provided and
costs incurred by the Advisor with respect to closed-end funds compared
to these other types of clients and the reasons for such differences.

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the fees and expense
information, the Board reviewed the considerable investment manage-
ment experience of the Advisors and considered the high level of invest-
ment management, administrative and other services provided by the

Advisors. In light of these factors and the other facts and circumstances
applicable to each Fund, the Board concluded that the fees paid and
level of expenses incurred by each Fund under its Agreements support
a conclusion that each Fund’s Agreements should be renewed.

D. Profitability of BlackRock: The Board also considered BlackRock’s
profitability in conjunction with its review of fees. The Board reviewed
BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Fund Complex and other
fund complexes managed by the Advisors. In reviewing profitability, the
Board recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining
profitability is establishing a method of allocating expenses. The Board
also reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating
expenses, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among
various advisory products. The Board also recognized that individual
fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not
publicly available.

The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous fac-
tors including, among other things, the types of funds managed, expense
allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability
is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Board
considered BlackRock’s operating margin compared to the operating
margin estimated by BlackRock for a leading investment management
firm whose operations consist primarily of advising closed-end funds.
The comparison indicated that BlackRock’s operating margin was
approximately the same as the operating margin of such firm.

In evaluating the reasonableness of the Advisors’ compensation, the
Board also considered any other revenues paid to the Advisors, including
partial reimbursements paid to the Advisors for certain non-investment
advisory services, if applicable. The Board noted that these payments
were less than the Advisors’ costs for providing these services. The Board
also considered indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements)
that the Advisors and their affiliates are expected to receive, which are
attributable to their management of the Fund.

The Board concluded that BlackRock’s profitability, in light of all the
other facts and circumstances applicable to each Fund, supports a
conclusion that each Fund’s Agreements should be renewed.

E. Economies of Scale: In reviewing each Fund’s fees and expenses, the
Board examined the potential benefits of economies of scale, and
whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Fund’s fee
structure, for example through the use of breakpoints for the Fund or the
Fund Complex. In this regard, the Board reviewed information provided
by BlackRock, noting that most closed-end fund complexes do not have
fund-level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not expe-
rience substantial growth after their initial public offering and each fund
is managed independently consistent with its own investment objectives.

ANNUAL REPORT

JULY 31, 2008

  Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (concluded)

The Board noted that only three closed-end funds in the Fund Complex
have breakpoints in their fee structures. Information provided by Lipper
also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-
level breakpoint structure. The Board found, based on its review of com-
parable funds, that each Fund’s management fee is appropriate in light
of the scale of the respective Fund.

F. Other Factors: In evaluating fees, the Board also considered indirect
benefits or profits the Advisors or their affiliates may receive as a result
of their relationships with the Funds (“fall-out benefits”). The Directors,
including the Independent Directors, considered the intangible benefits
that accrue to the Advisors and their affiliates by virtue of their relation-
ships with the Funds, including potential benefits accruing to the
Advisors and their affiliates as a result of participating in offerings of
the Funds’ shares, potentially stronger relationships with members of the
broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of the Advisors
and their affiliates, enhanced sales of other investment funds and prod-
ucts sponsored by the Advisors and their affiliates and increased assets
under management which may increase the benefits realized by the
Advisors from soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers. The Board
also considered the unquantifiable nature of these potential benefits.

Conclusion with Respect to the Agreements

In reviewing the Agreements, the Directors did not identify any single
factor discussed above as all-important or controlling and different
Directors may have attributed different weights to the various factors
considered. The Directors, including the Independent Directors, unani-
mously determined that each of the factors described above, in light
of all the other factors and all of the facts and circumstances applicable
to each respective Fund, was acceptable for each Fund and supported
the Directors’ conclusion that the terms of each Agreement were fair
and reasonable, that each Fund’s fees are reasonable in light of the
services provided to the respective Fund and that each Agreement
should be approved.

JULY 31, 2008


Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

How the Plan Works — The Funds offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(the “Plan”) under which income and capital gains dividends paid by
a Fund are automatically reinvested in additional shares of Common
Stock of the Fund. The Plan is administered on behalf of the share-
holders by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. for BlackRock MuniYield
California Insured Fund, Inc. and The BNY Mellon Shareowner Services
for BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock
MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc. (individually, the “Plan Agent” or
together, the “Plan Agents”). Under the Plan, whenever a Fund declares
a dividend, participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares
of Common Stock of the Fund. The Plan Agents will acquire the shares for
the participant’s account either (i) through receipt of additional unissued
but authorized shares of the Funds (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by pur-
chase of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the open market on
the New York Stock Exchange, as applicable or elsewhere. If, on the divi-
dend payment date, the Fund’s net asset value per share is equal to or
less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commis-
sions (a condition often referred to as a “market premium”), the Plan
Agents will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares. If the
Fund’s net asset value per share is greater than the market price per
share (a condition often referred to as a “market discount”), the Plan
Agents will invest the dividend amount by purchasing on the open mar-
ket additional shares. If the Plan Agents are unable to invest the full
dividend amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount
shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agents
will invest any uninvested portion in newly issued shares. The shares
acquired are credited to each shareholder’s account. The amount credited
is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by either (i)
when the shares are newly issued, the net asset value per share on the
date the shares are issued or (ii) when shares are purchased in the open
market, the average purchase price per share.

Participation in the Plan — Participation in the Plan is automatic, that
is, a shareholder is automatically enrolled in the Plan when he or she
purchases shares of Common Stock of the Funds unless the shareholder
specifically elects not to participate in the Plan. Shareholders who
elect not to participate will receive all dividend distributions in cash.
Shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Plan must advise
their Plan Agent in writing (at the address set forth below) that they elect
not to participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan is completely
voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty
by writing to the Plan Agent.

Benefits of the Plan — The Plan provides an easy, convenient way for
shareholders to make additional, regular investments in the Funds. The
Plan promotes a long-term strategy of investing at a lower cost. All shares
acquired pursuant to the Plan receive voting rights. In addition, if the

market price plus commissions of a Fund’s shares is above the net asset
value, participants in the Plan will receive shares of the Funds for less
than they could otherwise purchase them and with a cash value greater
than the value of any cash distribution they would have received.
However, there may not be enough shares available in the market to
make distributions in shares at prices below the net asset value. Also,
since the Funds do not redeem shares, the price on resale may be more
or less than the net asset value.

Plan Fees — There are no enrollment fees or brokerage fees for
participating in the Plan. The Plan Agents’ service fees for handling the
reinvestment of distributions are paid for by the Funds. However, broker-
age commissions may be incurred when the Funds purchase shares
on the open market and shareholders will pay a pro rata share of any
such commissions.

Tax Implications — The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distribu-
tions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax
that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends.
Therefore, income and capital gains may still be realized even though
shareholders do not receive cash. Participation in the Plan generally will
not effect the tax-exempt status of exempt interest dividends paid by the
Fund. If, when the Funds’ shares are trading at a market premium, the
Funds issue shares pursuant to the Plan that have a greater fair market
value than the amount of cash reinvested, it is possible that all or a
portion of the discount from the market value (which may not exceed 5%
of the fair market value of Funds’ shares) could be viewed as a taxable
distribution. If the discount is viewed as a taxable distribution, it is also
possible that the taxable character of this discount would be allocable
to all the shareholders, including shareholders who do not participate in
the Plan. Thus, shareholders who do not participate in the Plan might be
required to report as ordinary income a portion of their distributions
equal to their allocable share of the discount.

Contact Information — All correspondence concerning the Plan, including
any questions about the Plan, should be directed to the Plan Agent at

JULY 31, 2008


Additional Information

Dividend Policy

The Funds’ dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net invest-
ment income to their shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide
shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Funds
may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income
earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month
pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net

investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid
by the Funds for any particular month may be more or less than the
amount of net investment income earned by the Funds during such month.
The Funds’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income,
if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which com-
prises part of the financial information included in this report.

Fund Certification

The Funds are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
and have filed with the NYSE their annual chief executive officer certifica-
tion regarding compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards. Each Fund

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) the certifica-
tion of their chief executive officer and chief financial officer required by
section 302 of the Sabanes-Oxley Act.

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC
for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’
Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and
may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room

in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference
Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330. The Funds’ Forms
N-Q may also be obtained upon request and without charge by calling
(800) 441-7762.

Electronic Delivery

Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Funds’
websites or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly
statements, annual and semi-annual reports by enrolling in the Funds’
electronic delivery program.

Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks
or Brokerages:

Please contact your financial advisor to enroll. Please note that not all
investment advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.

General Information

The Funds do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional
Information because the Funds’ shares are not continuously offered,
which means that the Statements of Additional Information of the Funds
have not been updated after completion of the Funds’ offering and the
information contained in the Funds’ Statements of Additional Information
may have become outdated.

During the period, there were no material changes in the Funds’ invest-
ment objectives or policies or to the Funds’ charters or by-laws that were
not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associ-
ated with investment in the Funds. There have been no changes in the
persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of
the Funds’ portfolios.

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 it is intended to reduce expenses and elimi-
nate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your
shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you
instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents
to be combined with those for other members of your household, please
contact the Funds at (800) 441-7762.

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other
information regarding the Funds may be found on BlackRock’s website,
which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference
to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to
information regarding the Funds and does not, and is not intended to,
incorporate BlackRock’s website into this report.

Additional Information (concluded)

Deposit Securities

Effective May 30, 2008, following approval by the Funds’ Boards and the
applicable ratings agencies, the definition of “Deposit Securities” in the
Funds’ Articles Supplementary was amended as follows in order to facili-
tate the redemption of the Funds’ Preferred Stock. The following phrase
was added to the definition of “Deposit Securities” found in the Funds’
Articles Supplementary:

; provided, however, that solely in connection with any redemption of
Preferred Stock, the term Deposit Securities shall include (i) any com-
mitted financing pursuant to a credit agreement, reverse repurchase
agreement facility or similar credit arrangement, in each case which
makes available to the Corporation, no later than the day preceding

the applicable redemption date, cash in an amount not less than the
aggregate amount due to Holders by reason of the redemption of
their shares of Preferred Stock on such redemption date; and (ii)
cash amounts due and payable to the Corporation out of a sale of
its securities if such cash amount is not less than the aggregate
amount due to Holders by reason of the redemption of their shares of
Preferred Stock on such redemption date and such sale will be set-
tled not later than the day preceding the applicable redemption date.

BlackRock Privacy Principles

BlackRock is committed to maintaining the privacy of its current and
former fund investors and individual clients (collectively, “Clients”) and to
safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following infor-
mation is provided to help you understand what personal information
BlackRock collects, how we protect that information and why in certain
cases we share such information with select parties.

If you are located in a jurisdiction where specific laws, rules or regulations
require BlackRock to provide you with additional or different privacy-
related rights beyond what is set forth below, then BlackRock will comply
with those specific laws, rules or regulations.

BlackRock obtains or verifies personal non-public information from and
about you from different sources, including the following: (i) information
we receive from you or, if applicable, your financial intermediary, on appli-
cations, forms or other documents; (ii) information about your transac-
tions with us, our affiliates, or others; (iii) information we receive from a
consumer reporting agency; and (iv) from visits to our websites.

BlackRock does not sell or disclose to non-affiliated third parties any non-
public personal information about its Clients, except as permitted by law
or as is necessary to respond to regulatory requests or to service Client
accounts. These non-affiliated third parties are required to protect the
confidentiality and security of this information and to use it only for its
intended purpose.

We may share information with our affiliates to service your account or to
provide you with information about other BlackRock products or services
that may be of interest to you. In addition, BlackRock restricts access to
non-public personal information about its Clients to those BlackRock
employees with a legitimate business need for the information. BlackRock
maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that are
designed to protect the non-public personal information of its Clients,
including procedures relating to the proper storage and disposal of
such information.

Proxy Voting Policy

The Boards of the Funds have delegated the voting of proxies for Fund
securities to the Investment Advisor pursuant to the Advisor ’s proxy voting
guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Advisor will vote proxies related to
Fund securities in the best interests of each Fund and its stockholders.
From time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of
the Funds’ stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the Advisor, or
any affiliated person of the Funds or the Advisor, on the other. In such
event, provided that the Advisor’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight
Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the “Committee”) is aware of
the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and if the

Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general
voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in
the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Committee may retain an inde-
pendent fiduciary to advise the Committee on how to vote or to cast
votes on behalf of the Advisor’s clients. If the Advisor determines not to
retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice
of such independent fiduciary, the Committee shall determine how to vote
the proxy after consulting with the Advisor’s Portfolio Management Group
and/or the Advisor’s Legal and Compliance Department and concluding
that the vote is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict.

46 ANNUAL REPORT JULY 31, 2008



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

A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use
to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities
is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling toll-free
(800) 441-7762; (2) at www.blackrock.com; and (3) on the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Infor-
mation about how the Funds voted proxies relating to securities held
in the Funds’ portfolios during the most recent 12-month period
ended June 30 is available upon request and without charge (1) at
www.blackrock.com or by calling (800) 441-7762 and (2) on the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end
of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer,
principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar
functions. During the period covered by this report, there have been no amendments to or
waivers granted under the code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is available without
charge at www.blackrock.com.

Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors or trustees, as
applicable (the “board of directors”) has determined that (i) the registrant has the following
audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit
committee financial expert is independent:
Kent Dixon (term began effective November 1, 2007)
Frank J. Fabozzi (term began effective November 1, 2007)
James T. Flynn (term began effective November 1, 2007)
Joe Grills (term ended effective November 1, 2007)
W. Carl Kester (term began effective November 1, 2007)
Karen P. Robards (term began effective November 1, 2007)
Robert S. Salomon, Jr.

The registrant’s board of directors has determined that W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards
qualify as financial experts pursuant to Item 3(c)(4) of Form N-CSR.

Prof. Kester has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles,
financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee
functions. Prof. Kester has been involved in providing valuation and other financial
consulting services to corporate clients since 1978. Prof. Kester’s financial consulting
services present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally
comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be
raised by the registrant’s financial statements.

Ms. Robards has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles,
financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee
functions. Ms. Robards has been President of Robards & Company, a financial advisory
firm, since 1987. Ms. Robards was formerly an investment banker for more than 10 years
where she was responsible for evaluating and assessing the performance of companies based
on their financial results. Ms. Robards has over 30 years of experience analyzing financial
statements. She also is a member of the audit committee of one publicly held company and
a non-profit organization.

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial
expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the
purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or
identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification as an
audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or
liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a
member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or
identification.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and
procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax
compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-
approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services
provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated
service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the
registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent
with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will
not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the
Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).
The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless
the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to
the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the
registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not
exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the
Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if
they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific
pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-
approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each
service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person
board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee
for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to
approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit
services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by
the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not Applicable

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of
non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including
any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that
provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal
accountant’s independence.

(a) The registrant’s Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to
Stockholders filed under Item 1 of this form.
(b) Not Applicable due to no such divestments during the semi-annual period covered since
the previous Form N-CSR filing.

Item 7 – Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management
Investment Companies – The Board of Directors of the Fund has delegated the voting of
proxies for the Fund securities to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment
Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote
proxies related to Fund securities in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From
time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s stockholders,
on the one hand, and those of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or
the Investment Adviser, on the other. In such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s
Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the
“Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and if
the Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines
(or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the
Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Committee on how to vote or
to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s clients. If the Investment Adviser
determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of
such independent fiduciary, the Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after
consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio Management Group and/or the


Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast
is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Fund’s Proxy
Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on how
the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month
period ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the
SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

BlackRock, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, herein “BlackRock”) has built a professional
working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and
systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over
another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of
investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees
and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are
treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and


advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may,
consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or
accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees
paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of
such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made for the Fund. In
addition, BlackRock, its affiliates and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or
may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends
to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates, or any officer, director, stockholder,
employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those
recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover,
BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of
companies of which any of BlackRock’s (or its affiliates’) officers, directors or employees
are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its affiliates or the
officers, directors or employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or
possesses material non-public information. Each portfolio manager also may manage
accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a
fund. In this regard, it should be noted that a portfolio manager may currently manage
certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, a portfolio manager may
assist in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any
incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily
or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other
such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees.

As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client
fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades
must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to
allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account
receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock has adopted a policy that is
intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among
client accounts over time. This policy also seeks to achieve reasonable efficiency in client
transactions and provide
BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent
with the particular investment discipline and client base.

(a)(3) As of July 31, 2008:

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

BlackRock’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive
compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management
places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary
from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation
include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various
benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by
BlackRock such as its Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan.

Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on
their seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform
additional management functions within the portfolio management group or within
BlackRock may receive additional compensation for serving in these other capacities.


Discretionary Incentive Compensation
Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance
of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock,
the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under
management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined
benchmarks, and the individual’s seniority, role within the portfolio management team,
teamwork and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock.
In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the
same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other
accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment
Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other
accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which
performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the
Fund include a combination of market-based indices (e.g. Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups.

BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the
portfolio managers’ compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts
managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above.
Performance is measured on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis over various time periods
including 1, 3, 5 and 10-year periods, as applicable.

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation
Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination
of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of
years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in
BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base
salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying
a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a
given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability to sustain and improve its performance
over future periods.

Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) — The LTIP is a long-term
incentive plan that seeks to reward certain key employees. Beginning in 2006, awards are
granted under the LTIP in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, if properly
vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in
BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Each portfolio manager has received awards under the
LTIP.

Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible
BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the
performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Each participant in the deferred
compensation program is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among the various
investment options. Each portfolio manager has participated in the deferred compensation
program.

Other compensation benefits. In addition to base compensation and discretionary
incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one
or more of the following:


Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive
savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a
401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a
company match equal to 50% of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped
at $4,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3% of eligible
compensation, plus an additional contribution of 2% for any year in which BlackRock has
positive net operating income. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including
registered investment companies managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the
investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent employee
investment direction, are invested into a balanced portfolio. The ESPP allows for
investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the
stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of
1,000 shares or a dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate
in these plans.

(a)(4) Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of July 31, 2008, neither of Messrs. Jaeckel
or O’Connor beneficially owned any stock issued by the Fund.

Item 9 – Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and

qualifications of the proposed nominee to the registrant’s Secretary. There have been no
material changes to these procedures.
