ANNUAL REPORT |

JULY 31, 2012 |
|
|
About this time one year ago, financial markets fell into turmoil, triggered by
Standard & Poors historic downgrade of US government debt. Since then, asset prices have continued to move broadly in risk-on rallies and risk-off retreats driven by macro-level concerns, primarily the
sovereign debt crisis in Europe and uncertainty about global economic growth.
Equity markets crumbled in the third quarter of 2011 as fearful investors
fled riskier assets in favor of traditionally safe investments including US Treasuries and gold. In October, however, improving economic data and more concerted efforts among European leaders toward stemming the regions debt crisis drew
investors back to the markets. Improving sentiment carried over into early 2012 as investors saw some relief from the worlds financial woes. Volatility abated and risk assets (including stocks, commodities and high yield bonds) moved boldly
higher through the first two months of 2012 while climbing Treasury yields pressured higher-quality fixed income assets.
Markets reversed course in the
spring when Europes debt problems boiled over once again. High levels of volatility returned as political instability in Greece threatened the countrys membership in the euro zone. Spain faced severe deficit issues while the
nations banks clamored for liquidity. Yields on Spanish and Italian government debt rose to levels deemed unsustainable. European leaders conferred and debated vehemently over the need for fiscal integration among the 17 nations comprising the
euro currency bloc as a means to resolve the crisis for the long term.
Alongside the drama in Europe, investors were discouraged by gloomy economic
reports from various parts of the world. A slowdown in China, a key powerhouse for global growth, became particularly worrisome. In the United States, disappointing jobs reports dealt a crushing blow to sentiment. Risk assets sold off in the second
quarter as investors again retreated to safe haven assets.
The summer brought a modest rebound in most asset classes. However, financial markets
continued to swing sharply in both directions as investors reacted to mixed economic data as well as comments and policy actions or lack of action from central banks around the globe.
On the whole, higher quality investments outperformed riskier asset classes for the 12 months ended July 31, 2012 as investors continued to focus on safety. US
Treasury bonds delivered the strongest returns, followed by tax-exempt municipal bonds. Some higher-risk investments, including US large-cap stocks and corporate bonds, managed to post gains for the one-year period, and while US small-cap stocks
generated a slight gain for the 12-month period, they posted a marginal loss for the last 6 months. International and emerging equities, which experienced significant downturns in 2011, lagged other asset classes amid ongoing global uncertainty. US
large-cap stocks and high yield bonds rallied higher in recent months as many investors increased their appetite for risk. Continued low short-term interest rates kept yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.
We know that investors continue to face a world of uncertainty and highly volatile markets, but we also believe these challenging times present many opportunities.

Municipal Market Overview |
|
|
|
For the 12-Month Period Ended July 31, 2012 |
|
|
One year ago, the
municipal bond market was rebounding from a prolonged weak period stemming from events in the fourth quarter of 2010. Municipals had suffered severe losses in late 2010 amid a steepening US Treasury yield curve, political uncertainty and a flood of
inflated headlines about municipal finance troubles. A significant supply-demand imbalance had developed by the end of the year, leading to wider quality spreads and higher yields for municipal bonds heading into 2011.
Having lost confidence in municipals, retail investors retreated from the market, resulting in municipal mutual fund outflows
totaling $35.1 billion from the middle of November 2010 until the trend finally broke in June 2011. However, weak demand in the first half of 2011 was counterbalanced by lower supply. According to Thomson Reuters, total new issuance was down 32% in
2011 as compared to the prior year.
On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poors (S&P) downgraded the US governments credit
rating from AAA to AA+. While this led to the downgrade of approximately 11,000 municipal issues directly tied to the US debt rating, this represented a very small fraction of the municipal market and said nothing about the individual municipal
credits themselves. In fact, demand for municipal bonds increased as severe volatility in US equities drove investors to more stable asset classes. The municipal market benefited from an exuberant Treasury market and continued muted new issuance. As
supply remained constrained, demand from both traditional and non-traditional buyers was strong, pushing long-term municipal bond yields lower and sparking a curve-flattening trend that continued through year end. Ultimately, 2011 was one of the
strongest performance years in municipal market history. The S&P Municipal Bond Index returned 10.62% in 2011, making municipal bonds a top-performing fixed income asset class for the year.
Strong demand carried over into 2012 as investors continued to search for yield in a low-rate environment. Municipal market supply-and-demand technicals typically
strengthen considerably upon the conclusion of tax season as net negative supply takes hold. This theme remained intact for 2012. In the spring, a resurgence of concerns about Europes financial crisis and weakening US economic data drove
municipal bond yields lower and prices higher as investors were drawn to the asset class for its relatively low volatility in addition to the income and capital preservation it offers. The S&P Municipal Bond Index has gained 5.75% year-to-date.
Overall, the municipal yield curve flattened during the period from July 29, 2011 to July 31, 2012. As measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data, yields
declined by 151 basis points (bps) to 2.84% on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds and by 101 bps to 1.66% on 10-year bonds, while yields on 5-year issues fell 51 bps to 0.65%. While the entire municipal curve flattened over the 12-month
time period, the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities tightened by 140 bps, and in the 2- to 10-year range, the spread tightened by 90 bps.
The
fundamental picture for municipalities continues to improve. Austerity has been the general theme across the country as states set their budgets, although a small number of states continue to rely on a kick-the-can approach to close
their budget gaps, using aggressive revenue projections and accounting gimmicks. It has been over a year and a half since the fiscal problems plaguing state and local governments first became highly publicized. Thus far, the prophecy of widespread
defaults across the municipal market has not materialized. Through the first half of 2012, approximately $1.07 billion in par value of municipal bonds have entered into debt service default for the first time. This represents only 0.540% of total
issuance for that period and 0.029% of total municipal bonds outstanding, as compared to 0.065% for the full year 2011. (Data provided by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.) BlackRock maintains the view that municipal bond defaults will remain in the
periphery and the overall market is fundamentally sound. We continue to recognize that careful credit research and security selection remain imperative amid uncertainty in this economic environment.

Fund Summary as of July 31, 2012 |
|
BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc. |
BlackRock
MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc.s (MUC) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal and California income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing primarily in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and California income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80%
of its assets in investment grade municipal obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
For the 12 months
ended July 31, 2012, the Fund returned 32.27% based on market price and 22.26% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 30.47%
based on market price and 21.65% 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 long duration posture (sensitivity to interest rate movements) had a positive impact on performance as interest rates generally declined amid the investor
flight-to-quality in the US Treasury market. Leverage achieved through the use of tender option bonds while the municipal yield curve was historically steep boosted returns. The Funds holdings of higher quality essential service revenue bonds
contributed positively, as did holdings of select general obligation bonds and school district credits with stronger underlying fundamentals. Investments in the health, education, transportation and utilities sectors were particularly strong
contributors. Additionally, purchases of zero-coupon bonds deemed undervalued added to the Funds total return. The Fund used US Treasury financial futures contracts to hedge against rising interest rates. These positions had a modestly
negative impact on returns as interest rates declined over the period.
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the
date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. |
BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc.s (MUJ) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey personal
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) and New Jersey personal income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in
such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective
will be achieved.
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2012, the Fund returned 23.76% based on market price and 18.96% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of 30.62% based on market price and 18.72% 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. Over the one-year period, the Fund benefited from the declining interest rate environment (bond prices rise as interest rates fall), the flattening of the
yield curve (long interest rates fell more than short and intermediate rates) and tightening of credit spreads. The Funds exposure to zero-coupon bonds and the health sector had a positive impact on performance as these holdings derived the
greatest benefit from the decline in interest rates and spread tightening during the period. The Funds strategy for hedging interest rate risk was a modest detractor from performance as the Fund held a short position in US Treasury futures
while rates generally declined.

BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Fund |
BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Funds (MFT) (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 obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest
may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal obligations that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such
securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be
achieved.
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2012, the Fund returned 32.43% based on market price and 24.51% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds
(Leveraged) category posted an average return of 29.37% based on market price and 20.77% 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 long duration posture (greater sensitivity to interest rates) contributed positively to performance as the
yield curve flattened (i.e., longer-term interest rates fell more than shorter rates) and bond prices moved higher on the long end of the municipal curve. The Funds longer-dated holdings in the health, transportation and utilities sectors
experienced the best price appreciation. The Fund used US Treasury financial futures contracts as a means of hedging interest rate risk. These positions had a slight negative impact on results as interest rates declined over the period.

Fund Summary as of July 31, 2012 |
|
BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund, Inc. |
BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund, Inc.s (MIY) (the Fund) investment objective is 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. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that
the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and Michigan income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal obligations that are investment grade quality at the time of investment.
The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the
Funds investment objective will be achieved.
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2012, the Fund returned 27.46% based on market price and 17.60% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of 23.86% based on market price and 17.29% 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. Over the one-year period, the Fund benefited from the declining interest rate environment (bond prices rise as interest rates fall), the flattening of the
yield curve (long interest rates fell more than short and intermediate rates) and tightening of credit spreads. The Funds exposure to zero-coupon bonds and the health sector had a positive impact on performance as these holdings derived the
greatest benefit from the decline in interest rates and spread tightening during the period. The Funds strategy for hedging interest rate risk was a modest detractor from performance as the Fund held a short position in US Treasury futures
while rates generally declined.
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to
change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

average return of 25.17% based on market price and 17.29% 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. During the period, municipal bond prices generally rose as the yield curve flattened and credit spreads tightened. Given these market conditions, the
Funds exposure to longer maturity bonds and lower-quality investment grade bonds had a significant positive impact on the Funds performance for the period. The Fund used US Treasury financial futures contracts to hedge against rising
interest rates. These positions had a modestly negative impact on performance as interest rates declined over the period.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging |
|
|
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their common shares (Common
Shares). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
To obtain leverage, the Funds issue Variable Rate Demand
Preferred Shares (VRDP Shares) or Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (VMTP Shares) and previously issued and had outstanding Auction Market Preferred Shares (AMPS) (VRDP Shares, VMTP Shares, and as
applicable AMPS, are collectively referred to as Preferred Shares). Preferred Shares pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and the Funds invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of
leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments.
To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Funds shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.
The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio
holdings is reflected in the per share NAV. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. If the yield curve becomes negatively
sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates, income to shareholders will be lower than if the Funds had not used leverage.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Funds Common Shares capital- ization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million,
creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Fund
pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Fund with assets received from Preferred Shares issuance earn income based on long-term interest
rates. In this case, the dividends paid to holders of Preferred Shares (Preferred Shareholders) are significantly lower than the income earned on the 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 will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Fund pays higher
short-term interest rates whereas the Funds total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.
Furthermore, the value of the
Funds portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption value of the Funds Preferred
Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can
influence the Funds NAVs positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Fund performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.
The Funds may also leverage their assets through the use of TOBs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will
provide the Funds with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Funds, as
described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each 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 NAVs, market prices and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of
leverage, the Funds net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each 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 rating agencies that rate the 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, as amended (the 1940
Act), the Funds are permitted to issue senior securities in the form of equity securities (e.g., Preferred Shares) up to 50% of their total managed assets (each Funds total assets less the sum of its accrued liabilities). In addition,
each Fund voluntarily limits its economic leverage to 45% of its total managed assets for Funds with VRDP Shares or VMTP Shares. As of July 31, 2012, the Funds had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of
their total managed assets as follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, as specified
in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of
securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the
counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The Funds ability to use a derivative
financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisors ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial
instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Fund 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 a Fund to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Funds investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
|
|
Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a
disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted 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) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers
into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting
period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks 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 tables summarize the Funds investments categorized in the
disclosure hierarchy as of July 31, 2012:

For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
|
|
Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a
disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted 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) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers
into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting
period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks 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. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a
disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted 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) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers
into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting
period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks 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 tables summarize the Funds investments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of July 31, 2012:

For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
|
|
Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a
disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted 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) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers
into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting
period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks 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.

For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
|
|
Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a
disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted 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) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers
into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting
period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks 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.

For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
|
|
Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a
disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted 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) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers
into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting
period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks 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 tables summarize the Funds investments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of July 31, 2012:

Notes to Financial Statements |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc. (MUC), BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. (MUJ), BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Fund (MFT),
BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund, Inc. (MIY), BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. (MJI) and BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund (MPA) (collectively, the Funds), are
registered under the 1940 Act, as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies. MUC, MUJ, MIY and MJI are organized as Maryland corporations. MFT and MPA are organized as Massachusetts business trusts. The Funds financial
statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Boards of Directors and the Boards of Trustees of the Funds are collectively referred to throughout this report as the Board of Directors or
the Board, and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as Directors. The Funds determine and make available for publication the NAVs of their Common Shares on a daily basis.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
Funds fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the Global Valuation Committee) is
the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.
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. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day. Short-term securities with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
In the event that application of these methods of
valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, 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 Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, 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. These
factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset;
(iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches, including regular due diligence
of the Funds pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large
movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
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.
Forward Commitments and
When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the
purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of
securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a
security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Funds maximum amount of loss is the
unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Schedules of Investments.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs: The
Funds leverage their assets through the use of TOBs. A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which a fund, or an agent on behalf of a fund, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the investment
advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Fund has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual
certificates (TOB Residuals), which are generally issued to the participating funds that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right of a Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the
short-term floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, including during instances of a rise in

short-term interest rates, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to a Fund. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of
a Fund upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the
TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors. During the
year ended July 31, 2012, no TOBs in which the Funds participated were terminated without the consent of the Funds.
The cash received by the TOB
from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund in exchange for TOB trust certificates. The Funds typically invest 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 TOB trust certificates are shown in other liabilities in the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the Funds payable to the holder of the short-term floating rate certificates as reported in the Funds Statements of Assets and Liabilities as TOB trust certificates
approximates its fair value.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is
recorded by the Funds on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering
costs in the Statements of Operations. The short-term floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At
July 31, 2012, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for TOB trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for TOB 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 NAVs per share.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) require that the Funds either deliver collateral or
segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Funds will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on their books and
records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party
broker-dealers, each party to such transactions has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Investment
Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the
identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains, if any, 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 three years ended July 31, 2012 and the period ended July 31, 2009 for MUC, and for each of the four years ended July 31, 2012 for MUJ, MFT, MIY, MJI and MPA. The statutes of limitations on the Funds state and local tax
returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standard: In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new
disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will

require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal
years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Funds financial statement disclosures.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Funds Board,
independent Directors (Independent Directors) may defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain
other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent Directors had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain other
BlackRock Closed-End Funds.
The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the
general assets of each Fund. Prior to March 31, 2012, each Fund elected 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, and
dividends and distributions received from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments through March 31, 2012 are included in income affiliated in the Statements of Operations.
Offering Costs: The Funds incurred costs in connection with its issuance of VRDP Shares and/or VMTP Shares. For VRDP Shares, these costs were recorded as a deferred charge and will be amortized over the 30-year
life of the VRDP Shares with the exception of upfront fees paid to the liquidity provider which were amortized over the term of the initial liquidity agreement. For VMTP Shares, these costs were recorded as a deferred charge and will be amortized
over the 3-year life of the VMTP Shares. Amortization of these costs is included in interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate
methods.
The Funds have an arrangement with the custodians 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 custodians impose fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Funds
engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk. These contracts may be
transacted on an exchange.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the
underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on
which these contracts trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures
contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Funds and counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying
instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as
variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and
the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc.
(BlackRock).
Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the Manager), the Funds
investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Funds portfolio and provides the necessary personnel,
facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of each Funds average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

Average daily net assets are the average daily value of each Funds total assets minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indirectly
through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with each Funds investment in other affiliated investment
companies, if any. These amounts are included in, fees waived by advisor in the Statements of
Operations. For the year ended July 31, 2012, the amounts waived were as follows:

US GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These
reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of July 31, 2012 attributable to amortization methods on fixed income securities, non-deductible expenses, income recognized
from pass-through entities, distributions received from a regulated investment company, the sale of bonds received from tender option bond trusts and the expiration of capital loss carryforwards were reclassified to the following accounts:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, amortization and
accretion methods of premiums and discounts on fixed income securities, the treatment of residual interests in TOBs and the deferral of compensation to Directors. |

6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
MUC, MUJ, MIY, MJI and MPA invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific
states.
Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds
may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to
fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they
believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist
principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value
recorded in the Funds Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
As of July 31, 2012, MUC invested a
significant portion of its assets in securities in the county/city/special district/school district and utilities sectors. MUJ and MJI invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the state and transportation sectors. MFT invested
a significant portion of its assets in the county/city/special district/school district and utilities sectors. MIY invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the county/city/special district/school district sector. MPA invested a
significant portion of its assets in securities in the county/city/special district/school district and State sectors. Changes in economic conditions affecting the county/city/special district/school district, 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:
MFT and MPA are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.10 per share
together with 1 million Preferred Shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.05 per share. Each Funds Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.
MUC, MUJ, MIY and MJI are authorized to issue 200 million shares, par value $0.10 per share, all of which were initially classified as Common
Shares. Each Funds Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

Preferred Shares
Each Funds
Preferred Shares rank prior to the Funds Common Shares as to the payment of dividends by the Fund and distribution of assets upon dissolution or liquidation of the Fund. The 1940 Act prohibits the declaration of any dividend on the Funds
Common Shares or the repurchase of
the Funds Common Shares if the Funds fail to maintain the asset coverage of at least 200% of the liquidation
preference of the outstanding
Preferred Shares. In addition, pursuant to the Preferred Shares governing instrument, the Funds are restricted from declaring and paying dividends on classes of shares ranking junior to or
on parity with the Preferred Shares or repurchasing such shares if the Funds fail to declare and pay dividends on the Preferred Shares, redeem any Preferred Shares required to be redeemed under the Preferred Shares governing instrument or comply
with the basic maintenance amount requirement of the rating agencies then rating the Preferred Shares.
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.
VRDP Shares
MUJ, MIY, MJI and MPA (collectively, the VRDP Funds), have issued Series W-7 VRDP Shares, $100,000 liquidation value per share, in a privately
negotiated offering. The VRDP Shares were offered to qualified institutional buyers as defined pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the Securities Act) and include a liquidity feature, pursuant to a
liquidity agreement, that allows the holders of VRDP Shares to have their shares purchased by the liquidity provider in the event of a failed remarketing. The VRDP Funds are required to redeem the VRDP Shares owned by the liquidity provider after
six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. Upon the occurrence of the first unsuccessful remarketing, the VRDP Funds are required to segregate liquid assets to fund the redemption. The VRDP Shares are subject to certain restrictions on
transfer.
The VRDP Shares as of the year ended July 31, 2012 were as follows:

The VRDP Funds entered into a fee agreement with a liquidity provider that required a per annum liquidity fee to be paid to the
liquidity providers. The fee agreement for MIY and MPA also required an initial commitment fee. These fees are shown as liquidity fees in the Statements of Operations.
The fee agreements between MUJ, MIY, MJI and MPA and the liquidity provider are for a 364 day term and are scheduled to expire, unless renewed or terminated in advance, as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
In the event the fee agreement is not renewed or is terminated in advance, and the VRDP Funds do not enter into a fee
agreement with an alternate liquidity provider, the VRDP Shares will be subject to mandatory purchase by the liquidity provider prior to the termination of the fee agreement. The VRDP Funds are required to redeem any VRDP Shares purchased by the
liquidity provider six months after the purchase date. Immediately after the purchase of any VRDP Shares by the liquidity provider, the VRDP Funds are required to begin to segregate liquid assets with the VRDP Funds custodian to fund the
redemption. There is no assurance the VRDP Funds will replace such redeemed VRDP Shares with any other preferred shares or other form of leverage.
Each
VRDP Fund is required to redeem its VRDP Shares on the maturity date, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Six months prior to the maturity date, each VRDP Fund is required to begin to segregate liquid assets with the Funds custodian to
fund the redemption. In addition, VRDP Funds are required to redeem certain of their outstanding VRDP Shares if they fail to maintain certain asset coverage, basic maintenance amount or leverage requirements.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the VRDP Funds. The redemption price per VRDP Share is
equal to the liquidation value per share plus any outstanding unpaid dividends.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares are payable monthly at a variable rate set
weekly by the remarketing agent. Such dividend rates are generally based upon a spread over a base rate and cannot exceed a maximum rate. In the event of a failed remarketing, the dividend rate of the VRDP Shares will be reset to a maximum rate. The
maximum rate is determined based on, among other things, the long-term preferred share rating assigned to the VRDP Shares and the length of time that the VRDP Shares fail to be remarketed. At the date of issuance, the VRDP Shares were assigned a
long-term rating of Aaa from Moodys and AAA from Fitch. In May 2012, Moodys completed a review of its methodology for rating securities issued by registered closed-end funds. As of July 31, 2012, the VRDP Shares were assigned a
long-term rating of Aa2 from Moodys under its new methodology.
The short-term ratings on the VRDP Shares are directly related to the short-term
ratings of the liquidity provider for such VRDP Shares. Changes in the credit quality of the liquidity provider could cause a change in the short-term credit ratings of the VRDP Shares as rated by Moodys, Fitch and S&P. A change in the
short-term credit rating of the liquidity provider or the VRDP Shares may adversely affect the dividend rate paid on such shares, although the dividend rate paid on the VRDP Shares is not directly related based upon either short-term rating. As of
July 31, 2012, the short-term ratings of the liquidity provider and the VRDP Shares for MUJ and MJI were P-2, F1, and A1 as rated by Moodys, Fitch, and/or S&P respectively, which is within the two highest rating categories. The
liquidity provider may be terminated prior to the scheduled termination date if the liquidity provider fails to maintain short-term debt ratings in one of the two highest rating categories.
For financial reporting purposes, VRDP Shares are considered debt of the issuer; therefore, the liquidation value, which approximates fair value, of VRDP Shares is recorded as a liability in the Statements of
Assets and
Liabilities. Unpaid dividends are included in interest expense and fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and the dividends accrued and paid on the VRDP Shares are included as
a component of interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. VRDP Shares are treated as equity for tax purposes. Dividends paid to holders of VRDP Shares are generally classified as tax-exempt income for
tax-reporting purposes.
On June 21, 2012, MIY and MPA announced a special rate period for a three-year term ending June 24, 2015 with respect
to their VRDP Shares. The liquidity and fee agreements remain in effect for the duration of the special rate period; however, the VRDP Shares will not be remarketed or subject to optional or mandatory tender events during such time. During the
special rate period, MIY and MPA are required to maintain the same asset coverage, basic maintenance amount and leverage requirements for the VRDP Shares. MIY and MPA will not pay any liquidity and remarketing fees during the special rate period and
instead will pay dividends monthly based on the sum of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Index and a percentage per annum based on the long-term ratings assigned to the VRDP Shares. The
short-term ratings were withdrawn by Moodys, Fitch and/or S&P. Short-term ratings may be re-assigned upon the termination of the special rate period when the VRDP Shares revert back to remarketable securities.
If MIY and MPA redeem their VRDP Shares on a date that is one year or more before the end of the special rate period and the VRDP Shares are rated above A1/A by
Moodys and Fitch respectively, then such redemption is subject to a redemption premium based on the time remaining in the special rate period, subject to certain exceptions for redemptions that are required to maintain minimum asset coverage
requirements. After June 24, 2015, the holder of the VRDP Shares and MIY and MPA may mutually agree to extend the special rate period. If the special rate period is not extended, the VRDP Shares will revert back to remarketable securities and
will be remarketed and available for purchase by qualified institutional investors.
The VRDP Funds may incur remarketing fees of 0.10% on the aggregate
principal amount of all VRDP Shares, which, if any, are included in remarketing fees on Preferred Shares in the Statements of Operations. All of the remarketable VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance.
The annualized dividend rates for the VRDP Shares for the year ended July 31, 2012 were as follows:

Each VMTP Fund is required to redeem its VMTP Shares on the term date, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased or unless extended.
There is no assurance that the term of a Funds VMTP Shares will be extended or that a Funds VMTP Shares will be replaced with any other preferred shares or other form of leverage upon the redemption or repurchase of the VMTP Shares. Six
months prior to term date, each VMTP Fund is required to begin to segregate liquid assets with the Funds custodian to fund the redemption. In addition, each VMTP Fund is required to redeem certain of its outstanding VMTP Shares if it fails to
maintain certain asset coverage, basic maintenance amount or leverage requirements.
Subject to certain conditions, a Funds VMTP Shares may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Fund. The redemption price per VMTP Share is equal to the liquidation value per share plus any outstanding unpaid dividends and applicable redemption premium. If the Funds redeem the
VMTP Shares on a date that is one year or more prior to the term date and the VMTP Shares are rated above A1/A+ by Moodys and Fitch, respectively, then such redemption is subject to a prescribed redemption premium based on the time remaining
to the term date, subject to certain exceptions for redemptions that are required to maintain minimum asset coverage requirements. The VMTP Shares are subject to certain restrictions on transfer, and a Fund may also be required to register the VMTP
Shares for sale under the Securities Act under certain circumstances. In addition, amendments to the VMTP governing document generally require the consent of the holders of VMTP Shares.
Dividends on the VMTP Shares are payable monthly at a variable rate set weekly at a fixed rate spread to the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index. The fixed spread is determined based on the long-term preferred share rating
assigned to the VMTP Shares by Moodys and Fitch. At the date of issuance, the VMTP Shares were assigned long-term ratings of Aaa from Moodys and AAA from Fitch. In May 2012, Moodys completed the review of its methodology for rating
securities issued by registered closed-end funds. As of July 31, 2012, the VMTP Shares were assigned a long-term rating of Aa1 and Aa2 from Moodys under its new rating methodology. The dividend rate on the VMTP Shares is subject to a
step-up spread if the Fund fails to comply with certain provisions, including, among other things, the timely payment of dividends, redemptions or gross-up payments, and maintaining certain asset coverage and leverage requirements.
The average annualized dividend rates of the VMTP Shares for the year ended July 31, 2012 were as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, VMTP Shares are considered debt of the issuer; therefore the liquidation value,
which approximates fair value, of VMTP Shares is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends are included in interest expense and fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and the dividends
paid on the VMTP Shares are included as a component of interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. VMTP Shares are treated as equity for tax purposes. Dividends paid to holders of VMTP Shares are
generally classified as tax-exempt income for tax-reporting purposes.
VMTP Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for the year ended
July 31, 2012.
AMPS
The AMPS are redeemable at the
option of MUC and MFT, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The AMPS are also subject to mandatory redemption at their
liquidation preference plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Fund, as set forth in the Funds Articles Supplementary/Statement
of Preferences (the Governing Instrument) are not satisfied.
Dividends on seven-day AMPS are cumulative at a rate which is reset every seven
days based on the results of an auction. If the AMPS fail to clear the auction on an auction date, each Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the AMPS to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the
shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on the AMPS is as footnoted in the table below. The low, high and average dividend rates on the AMPS for each Fund for the period were as follows:

The maximum applicable rate on this series of AMPS is the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of 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 AMPS is the higher of 110% plus or times (i) the Telerate/BBA LIBOR or (ii) 90% of Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade
Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. |
Since February 13, 2008, the AMPS of the Funds failed to clear any of
their auctions. As a result, the AMPS dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.11% to 1.38% for the year ended July 31, 2012. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Funds but it has a negative
impact on the liquidity of AMPS. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a funds AMPS than buyers. A successful auction for the Funds AMPS may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, holders of
AMPS may not have the ability to sell the AMPS at their liquidation preference.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc.,
BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc.,
BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund, Inc.,
BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc.
and to the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Fund and
BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and
liabilities of BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Fund, BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield New
Jersey Quality Fund, Inc., and BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund (collectively, the Funds), including the schedules of investments, as of July 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the
year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
July 31, 2012, 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, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of BlackRock
MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield Investment Quality Fund, BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc., and
BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund as of July 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
|
|
The Board of Directors or Trustees, as applicable, (each, a Board, collectively, the Boards,
and the members of which are referred to as Board Members) of BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc. (MUC), BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. (MUJ), BlackRock MuniYield Investment
Quality Fund (MFT), BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund, Inc. (MIY), BlackRock MuniYield New Jersey Quality Fund, Inc. (MJI) and BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund (MPA and together
with MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY and MJI, each a Fund, and, collectively, the Funds) met on April 26, 2012 and May 22-23, 2012 to consider the approval of each Funds investment advisory agreement (each, an
Advisory Agreement) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the Manager), each Funds investment advisor. The Board of each Fund also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (each, a Sub-Advisory
Agreement) among the Manager, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the Sub-Advisor), and its 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
Each Board consists of eleven individuals, nine of whom are not interested persons of such Fund 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 the Funds 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 the Board is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has established six standing committees: an Audit Committee, a
Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee, an Executive Committee, and a Leverage Committee, each of which is chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members
(except for the Executive Committee and the Leverage Committee, each of which also has one interested Board Member).
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. The Boards have four quarterly meetings per
year, each extending over two days, and a fifth meeting to consider specific information surrounding the consideration of renewing the Agreements. In connection with this process, the Boards assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and
quality of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight,
compliance and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The Boards, acting directly and through their respective committees,
considered at each of their meetings, and from time to time as appropriate, 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 their peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory,
administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Funds; (d) the
resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of the Funds investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds compliance with their Code of Ethics and other 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 and risk and compliance
oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRocks implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Boards; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRocks implementation of the Funds valuation and
liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees ratios for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; (l) BlackRocks
compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives it creates; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRocks business.
The
Boards have engaged in an ongoing strategic review with BlackRock of opportunities to consolidate funds and of BlackRocks commitment to investment performance. In addition, the Boards requested, to the extent reasonably possible, an analysis
of the risk and return relative to selected funds in peer groups. BlackRock provides information to the Boards in response to specific questions. These questions covered issues such as profitability, including the impact of BlackRocks upfront
costs in sponsoring closed-end funds and the relative profitability of closed-end and open end funds, investment performance and management fee levels. The Boards considered the importance of: (i) managing fixed income assets with a view toward
preservation of capital; (ii) portfolio managers investments in the funds they manage; (iii) BlackRocks controls surrounding the coding of quantitative investment models; and (iv) BlackRocks oversight of
relationships with third party service providers.
The Boards considered BlackRocks efforts during the past year with regard to refinancing
outstanding AMPS, as well as ongoing time and resources devoted to other forms of preferred shares and alternative leverage. As of the date of this report, the Funds have redeemed 100% of their outstanding AMPS.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The
Approval Process: Prior to the April 26, 2012 meeting, the Boards requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Boards are engaged in a process with its independent legal counsel and BlackRock to
review periodically 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 the Funds as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper and 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; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and
open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as applicable; (d) the existence, impact and sharing of potential 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 26, 2012, the
Boards reviewed materials relating to their consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 26, 2012 meeting, and as a culmination of the Boards year-long deliberative process, the Boards
presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 22-23, 2012 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2012, each Board, including all the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory
Agreement between the Manager and its Fund, and the Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Manager, the Sub-Advisor, and its Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2013. 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 the Funds 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 the Funds; (d) economies of scale; (e) fall-out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with the Funds; and (f) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Boards also considered other matters they deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to securities
lending, services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds 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 the Funds. Throughout the year,
the Boards compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds and/or 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. Each Board also reviewed the materials provided by its Funds portfolio management team
discus-
sing Fund performance and the Funds investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Boards
considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRocks investment personnel generally and their Funds portfolio management teams, 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 and oversight capabilities and BlackRocks approach to
training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Boards engaged in a review of BlackRocks compensation structure with respect to their Funds portfolio management teams and
BlackRocks ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to advisory services, the Boards
considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with certain services (in addition to any such services provided to the Funds by third parties)
and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with the following administrative services including, among others: (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
the Funds; (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 the Funds, 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 their Funds. In preparation for the April 26, 2012 meeting, the Boards worked with its independent legal counsel, BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template for,
and was 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 review, each Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance, based on net asset value (NAV), of its Fund as compared to funds
in that Funds applicable Lipper category and the customized peer group selected by BlackRock. The Boards were provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds and periodically meets with Lipper representatives
to review their methodology. Each Board and its Performance Over-

sight Committee regularly review, and meet with Fund management to discuss, the performance of its Fund throughout the year.
The Board of MUC noted that, in general, MUC performed better than its Peers in that MUCs 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. Based on its discussions with BlackRock and the Boards review of MUCs investment performance compared to its Lipper Peer Group, the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds, and other relevant
information provided by BlackRock, MUCs Board noted that MUCs investment performance as compared to its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite provided a more meaningful comparison of MUCs relative performance. The composite
performance metric is a measurement blend of total return and yield.
The Board of MUJ noted that MUJ performed below the median of its Customized Lipper
Peer Group Composite in the one- and three-year periods reported, but that MUJ performed at or above the median of its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite in the five-year period reported.
The Board of MJI noted that MJI performed below the median of its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.
Based on their discussions with BlackRock and each Boards review of its respective Funds investment performance compared to the Funds Lipper Peer
Group, the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds, and other relevant information provided by BlackRock, the Board of each of MUJ and MJI noted that its respective Funds investment performance as compared to its Customized Lipper Peer
Group Composite provided a more meaningful comparison of the Funds relative performance. The composite performance metric is a measurement blend of total return and yield. The Board of each of MUJ and MJI and BlackRock reviewed and discussed
the reasons for their respective Funds underperformance during these periods compared with the Funds Peers. The Board of each of MUJ and MJI was informed that, among other things, the single largest issue confronting its respective
Funds performance during one- and three-year periods was the dearth of new issuance of New Jersey specific municipal bonds, especially diversified new issuance. In the performance periods under discussion, this prevented a more aggressive
posture from being implemented, but more importantly, this inhibited MUJ and MJI from increasing its respective leverage (as it is also difficult to find the desired amount of Tender Option Bond eligible paper) to use to enhance MUJs and
MJIs yields. Many of the largest issuers in New Jersey are New Jersey State appropriated names such as New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund and New Jersey State Economic Development Authority for School Facilities. In each case, these issuers
are rated in the high A category and unable to use for leveraging on their own. When compared to other states represented in the custom peer group, New Jersey has a relatively smaller amount of issuers eligible to use for leveraging.
The Board of MPA noted that MPA performed below the median of its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite in each of the one-, three- and five-year
periods reported. Based on its discussions with BlackRock and the Boards review of MPAs investment performance compared to its Lipper Peer Group, the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds,
and other relevant information provided by BlackRock, MPAs Board noted that MPAs investment performance as compared to its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite provided a more
meaningful comparison of MPAs relative performance. The composite performance metric is a measurement blend of total return and yield. MPAs Board and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for MPAs underperformance during
these periods compared with its Peers. MPAs Board was informed that, among other things, underperformance during these periods mainly stems from a below market dividend distribution rate. MPA maintains a defensive posture with respect to
credit and leverage. In past periods, a more defensive stance hindered MPAs ability to generate a higher income accrual compared to portfolios that take more credit risk and a higher degree of leverage. Additionally, the high degree of credit
quality and low degree of leverage in MPA is additive to performance during episodes of credit concern and rising interest rates, but at times when spreads and rates are tightening, MPA is put in a defensive posture.
The Board of MFT noted that MFT performed below the median of its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite in the three- and five-year periods reported, but that MFT
performed at or above the median of its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite in the one-year period reported. Based on its discussions with BlackRock and the Boards review of MFTs investment performance compared to its Lipper Peer
Group, the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds, and other relevant information provided by BlackRock, MFTs Board noted that MFTs investment performance as compared to its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite provided a more
meaningful comparison of MFTs relative performance. The composite performance metric is a measurement blend of total return and yield. MFTs Board and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for MFTs underperformance during the
three- and five-year periods compared with its Peers. Prior to 2008, MFT had a non-fundamental investment policy of investing substantially all of its total assets in Florida municipal bonds. Although due to the repeal of the Florida Intangibles
Personal Property Tax, this investment policy was amended in 2008 to allow MFT the flexibility to invest in municipal obligations regardless of geographic location. MFTs Board was informed that, among other things, the task of reallocating
roughly 90% of MFTs holdings in order to reflect a general market profile became all the more challenging amidst poor liquidity and a significant widening of credit spreads. In terms of the portion of MFTs portfolio that continues to be
invested in Florida municipal bonds, Florida paper suffered disproportionately as traditional sources of demand dried up after the elimination of the states intangible tax. While performance with respect to MFTs total return has improved
on a year-to-date basis, its distribution yield ranking remains challenged.
The Boards of MUJ, MJI, MPA and MFT and BlackRock discussed BlackRocks
strategy for improving the performance of MUJ, MJI, MPA and MFT and BlackRocks commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the Funds portfolio managers and to improve the Funds performance.
The Board of MIY noted that, in general, MIY performed better than its Peers in that MIYs performance was at or above the median of its Customized Lipper Peer
Group Composite in two of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. Based on its discussions with BlackRock and the Boards review of MIYs investment performance compared to its

Lipper Peer Group, the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds, and other relevant information provided by BlackRock, MIYs Board noted that MIYs investment performance as
compared to its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite provided a more meaningful comparison of MIYs relative performance. The composite performance metric is a measurement blend of total return and yield.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship
with the Funds: Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed its Funds contractual management fee rate compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. It also compared the Funds total expense ratio, as well as
actual management fee rate, 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 the Funds. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRocks
profitability with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the years ended December 31, 2010, and
December 31, 2009. 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. 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. 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. The Boards considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRocks expense management,
and the relative product mix.
In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRocks and
its affiliates profits relating to the management of the Funds and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRocks methodology in allocating its costs to the management of
the Funds. 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.
The Board of each of MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY, MJI and MPA noted that its respective Funds contractual management fee ratio (a combination of the advisory fee and
the administration fee, if any) was lower than or equal to the median contractual management fee ratio paid by the Funds Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers.
D. Economies of Scale: Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of its
Fund increase. Each Board also considered the extent to which its Fund benefits from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the 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 the Fund.
Based on the Boards review and consideration of
the issue, the Boards concluded that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering. They are typically priced at scale at a
funds inception. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its advisory fee 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 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 and risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRocks profile in the
investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRocks affiliates as service providers to the Funds, including securities lending and cash management 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 registered fund transactions to assist in
managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Boards further noted that they had considered the investment by BlackRocks funds in exchange traded funds (i.e., 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 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.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (concluded)
Conclusion
Each Board, including all the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2013, and the
Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Manager, the Sub-Advisor, and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2013. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Boards, including the Independent Board
Members, were satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. In arriving at their decision to approve the Agreements, the Boards did not identify 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 these determinations. The contractual fee arrangements for the Funds 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. As a result, the Board Members conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans |
|
|
Pursuant to each Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Reinvestment Plan), Common Shareholders are
automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by Computershare Shareowner Services for MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY and MJI and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. for MPA (the Reinvestment Plan Agent) in
the respective Funds shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Reinvestment Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the
shares are held in street name or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Reinvestment Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Reinvestment Plan.
After the Funds declare a dividend or determine to make a capital gain distribution, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants accounts, depending upon the following circumstances,
either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Funds (newly issued shares) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market or on the Funds primary exchange (open-market
purchases) . If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share (NAV) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition often referred to as a market
premium), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares acquired on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participants account will be determined by
dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the dividend payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market
price on the dividend payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition often referred to as a market discount), the Reinvestment Plan
Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open market purchases. If the Reinvestment Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open-market purchases, or if the market discount shifts
to a market premium during the purchase period, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest any un-invested portion in newly issued shares. Investments in newly issued shares made in this manner would be made pursuant to the same process described above
and the date of issue for such newly issued shares will substitute for the dividend payment date.
Participation in the Reinvestment Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without
penalty by notice if received and processed by the Reinvestment Plan Agent prior to the dividend record date. Additionally, the Reinvestment Plan Agent seeks to process notices received after the record date but prior to the payable date and
such notices often will become effective by the payable date. Where late notices are not processed by the applicable payable date, such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other
distribution.
The Reinvestment Plan Agents fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Fund.
However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Reinvestment Plan Agents open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic
reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.
Each Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Reinvestment Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Reinvestment Plan. However, each Fund reserves the right to amend the Reinvestment
Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants in MPA that request a sale of shares are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share fee. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Reinvestment
Plan Agent is required to pay. Participants in MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY and MJI that request a sale of shares are subject to a $0.02 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Reinvestment Plan should be directed to
Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, P.O. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035, Telephone: (866) 216-0242 for shareholders of MUC, MUJ, MFT, MIY and MJI. For shareholders of MPA, contact Computershare Trust Company, N.A., through the internet at
www.computershare.com/investor, or in writing to Computershare, P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, Telephone: (800) 699-1236. Overnight correspondence should be directed to the Reinvestment Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA
02021.

resignation, removal or death, or until December 31 of the year in which they turn 72. The maximum age limitation may be waived as to any Director by action of a majority of the Directors upon finding good cause thereof. In 2011, the Board of
Directors unanimously approved extending the mandatory retirement age for James T. Flynn by one additional year, which the Board believes would be in the best interest of shareholders. |

ANNUAL REPORT |

Additional Information (continued) |
|
|
Each Funds dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its 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.
On June 10, 2010, the Manager announced that MUJ and MIY each received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf
of Common Shareholders of MUJ and MIY. The demand letters allege that the Manager and officers and Boards of Directors of MUJ and MIY (the Boards) breached their fiduciary duties by redeeming at par certain of MUJ and MIYs
Preferred Shares, and demanded that the Boards take action to remedy those alleged breaches. In response to the demand letter, the Boards established a Demand Review Committee (the Committee) of the Independent Directors to investigate
the claims made in the demand letters with the assistance of independent counsel. Based upon its investigation, the Committee recommended that the Boards reject the demand specified in the demand letters. After reviewing the findings of the
Committee, the Boards unanimously adopted the Committees recommendation and unanimously voted to reject the demand.
The Funds do not make
available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Funds shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Fund has not been updated after completion of the respective
Funds offerings and the information contained in each Funds Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated.
During the period,

Frank J. Fabozzi
James T. Flynn
W. Carl Kester
Karen P. Robards
The registrants board of directors has determined that W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards qualify as financial experts pursuant to

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.
Kesters 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 registrants
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

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. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties,
obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies
and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services.
Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit
services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the
SECs auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (general
pre-approval). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on
the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be
aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
3
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require
specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next
regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for
any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None
of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were:

Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years
of $2,970,000 and $3,030,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser.
(h) The Committee has
considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser, and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible
with maintaining the principal accountants independence.

Item 7 |
Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies The board of directors has delegated the voting of proxies for
the Funds portfolio securities to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers 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 Funds 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 Advisers Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the Oversight Committee) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material
non-routine matter and if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may
retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Advisers clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to
follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Advisers Portfolio Management Group and/or the Investment Advisers Legal and Compliance
Department and concluding that the vote cast is in its clients best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Funds 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 SECs website at http://www.sec.gov. |

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

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview
BlackRocks financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path
emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base
salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock.
Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their position with the firm.
Discretionary Incentive Compensation.
Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the
performance of the portfolio managers group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firms assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined
benchmarks, and the individuals performance and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the
Funds or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. Among other things, BlackRocks Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to each portfolio managers compensation based on the
performance of the Fund and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks. Performance of fixed income funds is measured on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis over various time periods including 1-, 3- and 5-
year periods, as applicable. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the funds and other accounts are:

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. For some portfolio managers, discretionary incentive compensation is also distributed in deferred cash
7
awards that notionally track the returns of select BlackRock investment products they manage and that vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, upon
vesting, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash portion of the discretionary incentive compensation, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a
portion of discretionary incentive compensation in BlackRock stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year at risk based on BlackRocks ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods.
Providing a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in deferred cash awards that notionally track the BlackRock investment products they manage provides direct alignment with investment product results.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards From time to time long-term incentive equity awards are granted
to certain key employees to aid in retention, align their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in
BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Messrs. Jaeckel and OConnor have each received long-term incentive awards.
Deferred Compensation Program A portion of the compensation paid to eligible BlackRock employees may be
voluntarily deferred at their election for defined periods of time into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firms investment products. All of the eligible portfolio managers have participated in the deferred compensation
program.
Other compensation benefits.
In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive
or participate in one or more of the following incentive savings plans. BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock, Inc. employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock
Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 8% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $5,000 per
year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation up to the IRS limit ($250,000 for 2012). The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies and collective investment funds
managed by the firm. BlackRock, Inc. contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent participant investment direction, are invested into an index target date fund that corresponds to, or is
closest to, the year in which the participant attains age 65. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited
to the purchase of 1,000 shares of common stock or a dollar value of $25,000 based on its fair market value on the purchase date. Messrs. Jaeckel, Kalinoski and OConnor are each eligible to participate in these plans.
