SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT |
OCTOBER 31, 2010 |
The global economic recovery that began in 2009 has continued on its choppy course this year, delivering mixed but slowly improving economic data and gradual if uneven improvement of investor sentiment. The risks of a double-dip recession continue to recede, but the economy remains mired in a slow-growth environment. In the United States, the National Bureau of Economic Research declared that the Great Recession ended in June 2009. Spanning December 2007 to June 2009, this marked the longest reported recession since the Great Depression. Structural problems of ongoing deleveraging and weak spending among businesses and households weigh heavily on the pace of economic growth. The unemployment rate remains stubbornly high in the face of sluggish job gains in the private sector. The US dollar, along with other developed market currencies, has experienced devaluation resulting from aggressively easy monetary and fiscal policies. Given these long-standing conditions, the Federal Reserve Board has announced that additional policy action will be taken to combat deflation and unemployment and promote economic growth.
The high levels of volatility experienced in global equity markets throughout 2009 continued into 2010 as mixed economic data and lingering credit issues caused stocks to trade in both directions, but by the end of the first quarter, most markets had managed to post gains. The second quarter, in contrast, brought higher levels of volatility and a flight to quality as investor sentiment was dominated by fears of a double-dip recession. Global equity markets saw negative quarterly returns and for many markets, the first significant downturn since the bull market began in March 2009. In the third quarter, economic data turned less negative and strong corporate earnings reports became increasingly consistent. These factors, along with attractive valuations and expectations for additional quantitative easing, drove equity markets higher, with most markets recapturing their second quarter losses. Stocks continued their rally into the beginning of the fourth quarter, closing out the 12-month period in positive territory. International equities posted gains on both a six- and 12-month basis. In the United States, both large and small cap equities posted robust gains for the 12-month period, while on a six-month basis, large cap stocks remained relatively flat and small caps turned slightly negative.
In fixed income markets, yields fluctuated but declined significantly over the past 12 months amid heightened uncertainty. Weak economic data, lingering credit problems and, near the end of the period, the expectation of additional quantitative easing drove interest rates lower and bond prices higher. Treasuries rallied over the period, modestly outperforming the credit spread sectors of the market. Corporate credit spreads benefited from the low interest rate environment and high yield fixed income became increasingly attractive due to declining default rates and better-than-expected results on European bank stress tests. Tax-exempt municipal bonds performed well over the 12-month period, driven primarily by technical factors including favorable supply-and-demand dynamics.
Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.
Against this backdrop, the major market averages posted the following returns:

Fund Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock Apex Municipal Fund, Inc.s (APX) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide high current income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of medium- to lower-grade or unrated municipal obligations, the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxes in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds that are rated in the medium to lower categories by nationally recognized rating services (Baa or lower by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poors Corporation) or non-rated securities which are of comparable quality. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. |
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. |

Performance |
|
|
|
|
|
For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Fund returned 7.99% based on market price and 6.36% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 7.20% based on market price and 6.92% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Funds low concentrations in tax-backed (state, county, city and school district) and development district (special district) issues detracted from performance as these sectors continued to strengthen during the period. The Funds portfolio duration remained relatively lower than its Lipper category average, which has proven detrimental in the declining interest rate environment. In addition, a majority of peers within the Lipper category employ a higher degree of leverage, which can enhance both returns and distribution yields. Contributing positively to performance was sector allocation, particularly with respect to concentrations in health, transportation, and corporate-related debt, all of which performed well during the period. Also beneficial was the Funds positioning in the intermediate range of the yield curve, which outperformed the longer end of the curve for the period. |

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2010 |
BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc. |
|
|
|
|
Fund Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc.s (MEN) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds rated investment grade quality at the time of investment and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with maturities of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. |
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. |

|
Performance |
|
|
|
|
|
For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Fund returned 7.41% based on market price and 6.81% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 7.94% based on market price and 5.84% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund benefited from its modestly long duration relative to the Lipper category average as bond prices rallied in the declining interest rate environment. The tax-exempt municipal market in general benefited from the Build America Bond Program, which alleviated supply pressure in the tax-exempt space, especially on the long end of the yield curve. The Funds holdings of insured bonds with lower quality underlying credits contributed positively to performance as did exposure to traditionally higher yielding sectors, including transportation, health and corporate-related debt, as credit quality spreads generally tightened during the period. Conversely, the Funds holdings of zero-coupon bonds detracted from performance as these securities generally underperformed coupon bonds due to widening spreads in the sector. In addition, the Funds low exposure to education hindered performance as the sector performed well during the period. |

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2010 |
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. |
|
|
|
|
Fund Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.s (MHD) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. |
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. |
|
|
|
|
|
Performance |
|
|
|
|
|
For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Fund returned 9.74% based on market price and 7.36% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 7.68% based on market price and 6.42% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Funds outperformance relative to its Lipper category was driven by sector allocation, particularly with respect to concentrations in health and corporate-related debt, both of which continued to perform well during the period. The Funds focus on lower quality credits had a positive impact due to the ongoing contraction of credit quality spreads. In addition, the Funds modestly long portfolio duration (sensitivity to interest rates) relative to the Lipper category average proved beneficial in the declining interest rate environment. Conversely, a concentration of holdings in longer dated issues detracted from performance as the intermediate range of the yield curve outperformed the longer end of the curve. |

|
Fund Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
Effective November 9, 2010, BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc. changed its name to BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. |
|
|
|
BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.s (MUS) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in long-term, investment grade municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. |

Performance |
|
|
|
|
|
For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Fund returned 8.62% based on market price and 6.32% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 7.94% based on market price and 5.84% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds premium to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Funds exposure to health, housing and transportation contributed positively to performance as credit quality spreads generally tightened, causing these sectors to outperform other municipal market sectors, particularly among bonds with longer maturities. The tax-exempt municipal market in general benefited from the Build America Bond Program, which alleviated supply pressure in the tax-exempt space, especially on the long end of the yield curve. As such, the Funds slightly long duration stance enhanced performance for the period. Detracting from performance was the Funds exposure to bonds with short call features, which did not fully benefit from the price appreciation that occurred among bonds with longer call dates and non-callable bonds. |

|
Fund Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.s (MUI) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide Common Shareholders with high current income exempt from federal income taxes taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds with a duration of three to ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. |

|
|
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved. |

Performance |
|
|
|
|
|
For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Fund returned 11.45% based on market price and 7.11% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 8.07% based on market price and 6.02% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. While the Fund maintained its neutral duration (sensitivity to interest rates) relative to the Lipper category average during most of the period, we increased its exposure to interest rate-sensitive bonds, including new issues, which delivered strong performance as bond prices rallied in the declining interest rate environment. Increased exposure to high yield and economically sensitive corporate-related municipal debt also contributed positively, as did exposure to traditionally higher yielding sectors, including health and housing, all of which performed well as credit quality spreads tightened during the period. Conversely, the Funds short maturity and low duration holdings hindered relative performance due to their limited upward price movement in the declining interest rate environment. In addition, the Funds exposure to traditionally higher quality sectors, including utilities and essential services, detracted from performance as these sectors experienced weak demand while investors sought yield. |

|
|
Fund Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc.s (MVT) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. |

Performance |
|
|
|
|
|
For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Fund returned 6.64% based on market price and 7.40% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 7.68% based on market price and 6.42% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds premium to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Funds outperformance relative to its Lipper category was driven by sector allocation, particularly with respect to concentrations in health, transportation, and corporate-related debt, all of which continued to perform well during the period. The Funds focus on lower quality credits had a positive impact due to the ongoing contraction of credit quality spreads. In addition, the Funds modestly long portfolio duration (sensitivity to interest rates) relative to the Lipper category average proved beneficial in the declining interest rate environment. Conversely, a concentration of holdings in longer dated issues detracted from performance as the intermediate range of the yield curve outperformed the longer end of the curve. |

The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
To leverage, all of the Funds, except APX and MUA, issue Preferred Shares, which pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be based on short-term interest rates, which normally will be lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Funds Common Shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Funds Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Fund pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Fund with assets received from the Preferred Shares issuance earn the income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than the income earned on the Funds long-term investments, and therefore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.
If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of 6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Fund pays dividends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Funds total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.
Furthermore, the value of a Funds portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption value of the Funds Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Funds NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Fund performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.
The Funds may also leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond (TOB) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Funds with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Funds, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Funds NAV per share.
The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Funds and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will generally cause greater changes in the Funds NAV, market price and dividend rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Funds net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Funds net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Funds ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies that rate Preferred Shares issued by the Funds. Each Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are permitted to issue Preferred Shares in an amount up to 50% of their total managed assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Fund anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such leverage is incurred. As of October 31, 2010, the Funds had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock Apex Municipal Fund, Inc. (APX), BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. (MUA), BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc. (MEN), BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. (MHD), BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. (MUH), BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. (formerly BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc.) (MUS), BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. (MUI) and BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc. (MVT) (collectively, the Funds) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies. The Funds are organized as Maryland corporations. The Funds financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds determine and make available for publication the net asset values of their Common Shares on a daily basis.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Reorganizations: On September 2, 2010, the Board of Directors (the Board) of APX and MUA approved the reorganization of APX into MUA with MUA being the surviving Fund (the Reorganization) and changes to certain investment guidelines on APX and MUA. On December 17, 2010, shareholders of MUA approved the Reorganization and changes to certain investment policies of the Fund, and shareholders of APX approved changes to certain investment policies. APXs shareholder vote with regard to the Reorganization was adjourned to allow additional time to further solicit votes. Subject to approval from APX shareholders and customary closing conditions being satisfied, it is currently expected the Reorganization would be completed in the first quarter of 2011.
Valuation: The Funds fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a when-issued basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (Fair Value Assets). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counter-party, the Funds maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown on the Schedules of Investments, if any.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Funds leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (TOBs). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of the funds, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Fund has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (TOB Residuals), which are generally issued to the participating funds that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right of a Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the short-term floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, including during instances of a rise in short-term interest rates, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to a Fund. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of a Fund upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors. During the six months ended October 31, 2010, no TOBs have been terminated without the consent of the Funds.
The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund, which typically invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Each Funds transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, therefore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Funds Schedules of Investments and the proceeds from the issuance of the short-term floating rate certificates are shown as trust certificates in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by the Funds on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense and fees in the Statements of Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At October 31, 2010, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for trust certificates were as follows:

Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Funds net investment income and dividends to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Funds net asset values per share.
Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) require that the Funds either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts) the Funds will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the
SEC, segregate collateral or designate on their books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Consent fees are compensation for agreeing to changes in the terms of debt instruments and are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Dividends and distributions to Preferred Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 7.
Income Taxes: It is each Funds policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Funds US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four periods ended as follows:

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

6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
MEN, MUH and MUI invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentration in specific states.
Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with coun-terparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Funds Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
As of October 31, 2010, APX and MUA invested a significant portion of their assets in the Health and Corporate sectors. MEN invested a significant portion of its assets in the County/City/Special District/School District and Transportation sectors. MHD, MUH and MVT invested a significant portion of their assets in the Health sector. MUS invested a significant portion of its assets in the County/City/Special District/School District, Utilities and Transportation sectors. MUI invested a significant portion of its assets in the State and County/City/Special District/School District sectors. Changes in economic conditions affecting the County/City/Special District/School District, Health, State, Transportation and Utilities sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
7. Capital Share Transactions:
Each Fund, except APX, is authorized to issue 200 million shares (150 million for APX), all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The par value for each Funds Common Shares is $0.10. The par value for each Funds Preferred Shares is $0.10 except MEN Series A, B and C, which is $0.025, and MVT Series A, B and C, which is $0.05. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares without approval of Common Shareholders.
Common Shares
For the periods shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by the following amounts as a result of dividend and distribution reinvestment:

Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for MUI for the six months ended October 31, 2010 and the year ended April 30, 2010 for MEN, MUH and MUI.
Preferred Shares
The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Fund, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Fund, as set forth in each Funds Articles of Supplementary (the Governing Instrument) are not satisfied.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
From time to time in the future, each Fund may effect repurchases of its Preferred Shares at prices below their liquidation preference as agreed upon by the Fund and seller. Each Fund also may redeem its Preferred Shares from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing Instrument. Each Fund intends to effect such redemptions and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine.
The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class. However, the holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Directors for each Fund. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Funds 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.
MEN, MHD, MUH, MUS, MUI, and MVT had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding, effective yields and reset frequency as of October 31, 2010:

The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. |

The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher of 110% plus or times (i) the Telerate/BAA LIBOR or (ii) 90% of Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. |
Dividends on seven-day and 28-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate which is reset every seven or 28 days, respectively, based on the results of an auction. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction date, each Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares is as footnoted in the preceding table above. The low, high and average dividend rates on the Preferred Shares for each Fund for the period were as follows:

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of the Funds failed to clear any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.35% to 1.54% for the six months ended October 31, 2010. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Funds but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a Funds auction rate preferred shares than buyers. A successful auction for the Funds Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not have the ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference.
The Funds may not declare dividends or make other distributions on Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding Preferred Shares is less than 200%.
The Funds pay commissions of 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions and 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that fail to clear their auctions. Certain broker dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions for failed auctions.

The Funds financed the Preferred Share redemptions with cash received from TOB transactions.
Preferred Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for the six months ended October 31, 2010 for all funds and the year ended April 30, 2010 for MUI.
8. Restatement Information:
Subsequent to the initial issuance of the May 31, 2006 financial statements for MUI and July 31, 2006 for MUH, the Funds determined that the criteria for sale accounting in FAS 140 had not been met for certain transfers of municipal bonds related to investments in TOB Residuals, and that these transfers should have been accounted for as secured borrowings rather than as sales. As a result, certain financial highlights for the year ended May 31, 2005 for MUI and July 31, 2005 for MUH have been restated to give effect to recording the transfers of the municipal bonds as secured borrowings, including recording interest on the bonds as interest income and interest on the secured borrowings as interest expense.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
The Board of Directors (each, a Board, and, collectively, the Boards, and the members of which are referred to as Board Members) of each of BlackRock Apex Municipal Fund, Inc. (APX), BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. (MUI), BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. (MUA), BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc. (MEN), BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. (MHD), BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. (MUH), BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. (MUS) and BlackRock MuniVest Fund II, Inc. (MVT, and together with APX, MUI, MUA, MEN, MHD, MUH, and MUS, each a Fund and, collectively, the Funds) met on April 8, 2010 and May 13 14, 2010 to consider the approval of each Funds investment advisory agreement (collectively, the Advisory Agreements) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the Manager), each Funds investment advisor. The Boards also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (collectively, the Sub-Advisory Agreements) between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the Sub-Advisor), with respect to each Fund. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as BlackRock. The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the Agreements.
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board of each Fund consists of ten individuals, eight of whom are not interested persons of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Board Members). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of each Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of each Board is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by an Independent Board Member. The Board of each of MVT, MUI, MEN, MHD, MUH, and MUS also has two ad hoc committees, the Joint Product Pricing Committee, which consists of Independent Board Members and the directors/trustees of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who are not interested persons of their respective funds, and the Ad Hoc Committee on Auction Market Preferred Shares. The Board of each of APX and MUA has one ad hoc committee, the Joint Product Pricing Committee.
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Boards assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
From time to time throughout the year, the Boards, acting directly and through their committees, considered at each of their meetings factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Funds and their shareholders. Among the matters the Boards considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior managements and portfolio managers analysis of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance against a Funds peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund for services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) each Funds operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to each Funds investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) each Funds 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) BlackRocks and other service providers internal controls; (h) BlackRocks implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Boards; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRocks implementation of each Funds valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of contractual and actual management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; and; (l) periodic updates on BlackRocks business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the April 8, 2010 meeting, the Boards requested and each received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Boards are engaged in a process with BlackRock to periodically review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (Lipper) on Fund fees and expenses, and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lip-per, and in the case of APX, MUI, MUA, MHD, MUH and MVT, a customized peer group selected by BlackRock (collectively, Peers); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (f) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock closed-end funds, as classified by Lipper.
At an in-person meeting held on April 8, 2010, the Boards reviewed materials relating to their consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 8, 2010 meeting, the Boards presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 13 14, 2010 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on May 13 14, 2010, each Board, including its Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its respective Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to its respective Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Boards considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of each Fund and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Boards also considered other matters they deemed important to the approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing of each Funds portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with each Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Boards review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Boards compared each Funds performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, and the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRocks senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Boards also reviewed the materials provided by each Funds portfolio management team discussing each Funds performance and each Funds investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Boards considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRocks investment personnel generally and each Funds portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRocks portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRocks use of technology, BlackRocks commitment to compliance, BlackRocks credit analysis capabilities, BlackRocks risk analysis capabilities and BlackRocks approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Boards also reviewed a general description of BlackRocks compensation structure with respect to each Funds portfolio management team and BlackRocks ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.
In addition to advisory services, the Boards considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide each Fund with certain administrative and other services (in addition to any such services provided to each Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with other services, including: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional information in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of each Fund; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; and (viii) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of each Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRocks fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRocks policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund. In preparation for the April 8, 2010 meeting, the Boards were provided with reports, independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Funds performance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lippers rankings. In connection with their reviews, the Boards received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in each Funds applicable Lipper category, and in the case of APX, MUI, MUA, MHD, MUH and MVT, a customized peer group selected by BlackRock. The Boards were provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Boards regularly review the performance of each Fund throughout the year.
The Boards of APX, MUI, MUA, MHD, MUH and MVT noted that, in general, each of their respective Funds performed better than their respective Peers in that each Funds performance was at or above the median of its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.
The Board of MEN noted that, in general, MEN performed better than its Peers in that MENs performance was at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.
The Board of MUS noted that MUS performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in the three- and five-year periods reported, but that MUS performed better than or equal to the median of its Lipper Performance Composite in the one-year period reported. The Board of MUS and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for MUSs underperformance during the three- and five-year periods compared with its Peers. The Board of MUS was informed that, among other things, MUSs performance was hindered by its short duration posture during a period when interest rates were decreasing.
The Board of MUS and BlackRock discussed BlackRocks strategy for improving MUSs performance and BlackRocks commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist MUSs portfolio managers and to improve MUSs performance.
The Boards noted that BlackRock has made changes to the organization of the overall fixed income group management structure designed to result in a strengthened leadership team with clearer accountability.
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: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Funds contractual advisory fee rate compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. The Boards also compared each Funds total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The Boards considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.
The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRocks financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided each Fund. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Boards reviewed BlackRocks profitability with respect to each Fund and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Boards reviewed BlackRocks profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed BlackRocks assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.
The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information was available, the Boards considered BlackRocks overall operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising closed-end funds, among other product types. That data indicates that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRocks operating margin with that of other publicly traded asset management firms. That third party data indicates that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.
In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRocks and its affiliates profits relating to the management and distribution of each Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of their analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRocks methodology in allocating its costs to the management of each Fund. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high-quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (concluded) |
Each Board noted that its respective Funds contractual management fee rate was lower than or equal to the median contractual management fee rate paid by the Funds Peers, in each case, before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers.
D. Economies of Scale: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of each Fund increase. The Boards also considered the extent to which each Fund benefits from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable each Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of each Fund.
The Boards noted that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering and each fund is managed independently consistent with its own investment objectives. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its fee structure. Information provided by Lipper also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex with total closed-end fund nets assets exceeding $10 billion, as of December 31, 2009, used a complex level breakpoint structure.
E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or fall-out benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from their respective relationships with the Funds, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRocks ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRocks profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRocks affiliates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Funds, including for administrative and distribution services. The Boards also considered BlackRocks overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Boards further noted that BlackRock completed the acquisition of a complex of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on December 1, 2009, and that BlackRocks funds may invest in such ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.
In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Boards also received information regarding BlackRocks brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
The Boards noted the competitive nature of the closed-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to sell their respective Fund shares in the secondary market if they believe that the Funds fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Conclusion
Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its respective Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to its respective Fund, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011. As part of its approval, each Board considered the discussions of BlackRocks fee structure, as it applies to its respective Fund, being conducted by the ad hoc Joint Product Pricing Committee. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, each Board, including its Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of its respective Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, none of the Boards identified any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for each Fund reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

Dividend Policy |
|
The Funds dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net investment income to their shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Funds may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times, in any particular month, pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Funds for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Funds during such month. The Funds current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

General Information |
|
On June 10, 2010, the Manager announced that the directors of MUI had received a demand letter sent on behalf of certain of MUI Common Shareholders. The demand letter alleged that the Manager and MUIs officers and Board of Directors (the Board) breached their fiduciary duties owed to MUI and its Common Shareholders by redeeming at par certain of MUIs Preferred Shares, and demanded that the Board take action to remedy those alleged breaches. In response to the demand letter, the Board established a Demand Review Committee (the Committee) of the independent Directors to investigate the claims made in the demand letter with the assistance of independent counsel. Based upon its investigation, the Committee recommended that the Board reject the demand specified in the letter. After reviewing the findings of the Committee, the Board unanimously adopted the Committees recommendation and unanimously voted to reject the demand.

Additional Information (concluded) |

Board Approval |
|
On September 1, 2010, the Board of Directors (the Boards) of MEN and MUS (the Funds) approved changes to certain investment policies of the Funds.
Historically, under normal market conditions, each Fund has been required to invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds either (i) insured under an insurance policy purchased by the Fund or (ii) insured under an insurance policy obtained by the issuer of the municipal bond or any other party. In September 2008, the Funds adopted an amended investment policy of purchasing only municipal bonds insured by insurance providers with claims-paying abilities rated investment grade at the time of investment (the Insurance Investment Policy).
Following the onset of the credit and liquidity crises, the claims-paying ability rating of most of the municipal bond insurance providers has been lowered by the rating agencies. These downgrades have called into question the long-term viability of the municipal bond insurance market, which has the potential to severely limit the ability of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the Funds investment advisor (the Manager), to manage the Funds under the Insurance Investment Policy.
As a result, on September 1, 2010, the Manager recommended, and the Board approved, the removal of the Insurance Investment Policy. As a result of this investment policy change, the Funds will not be required to dispose of assets currently held within the Funds. The Funds will maintain, and have no current intention to amend, their investment policy of, under normal market conditions, generally investing in municipal obligations rated investment grade at the time of investment.
As each Fund increases the amount of its assets that are invested in municipal obligations that are not insured, each Funds shareholders will be exposed to the risk of the failure of such securities issuers to pay interest and repay principal and will not have the benefit of protection provided under municipal bond insurance policies. As a result, shareholders will be more dependent on the analytical ability of the Manager to evaluate the credit quality of issuers of municipal obligations in which each Fund invests. The Board believes that the amended investment policy is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders because it believes that the potential benefits from increased flexibility outweigh the potential increase in risk from the lack of insurance policies provided by weakened insurance providers. Of course, the new investment policy cannot assure that each Fund will achieve its investment objective.
As disclosed in each Funds prospectus, each Fund is required to provide shareholders 60 days notice of a change to the Insurance Investment Policy. Accordingly, a notice describing the changes discussed above was mailed to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2010. The new investment policy took effect on November 9, 2010.
After the amended policy takes effect, the Manager anticipates that it will gradually reposition each Funds portfolio over time, and that during such period, each Fund may continue to hold a substantial portion of its assets in insured municipal bonds. At this time, it is uncertain how long it may take to reposition each Funds portfolio once the amended policy takes effect, and the Funds may continue to be subject to risks associated with investing a substantial portion of their assets in insured municipal bonds until the repositioning is complete. No action is required by shareholders of the Funds in connection with this change.
On November 9, 2010, in connection with this change in non-fundamental policy, MUS changed its name from BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc. to BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. The Fund will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under its current ticker symbol.
The approved changes will not alter any Funds investment objective.

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