The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

The Funds utilize leveraging to seek to enhance the yield and net asset value of
their Common Stock. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest
rate environments. To leverage, each Fund issues Preferred Stock, which pays
dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invests the proceeds in
long-term municipal bonds. The interest earned on these investments, net of
dividends to Preferred Stock, is paid to Common Stock shareholders in the form
of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per
share net asset value of each Fund's Common Stock. However, in order to benefit
Common Stock shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is,
short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. At the
same time, a period of generally declining interest rates will benefit Common
Stock shareholders. If either of these conditions change, then the risks of
leveraging will begin to outweigh the benefits.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a fund's Common Stock capitalization of
$100 million and the issuance of Preferred Stock for an additional $50 million,
creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term
municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are approximately 3%
and long-term interest rates are approximately 6%, the yield curve has a
strongly positive slope. The fund pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred
Stock based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the fund's
total portfolio of $150 million earns the income based on long-term interest
rates.

In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Stock shareholders are
significantly lower than the income earned on the fund's long-term investments,
and therefore the Common Stock shareholders are the beneficiaries of the
incremental yield. However, if short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the
differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental
yield pickup on the Common Stock will be reduced or eliminated completely. At
the same time, the market value of the fund's Common Stock (that is, its price
as listed on the New York Stock Exchange) may, as a result, decline.
Furthermore, if long-term interest rates rise, the Common Stock's net asset
value will reflect the full decline in the price of the portfolio's investments,
since the value of the fund's Preferred Stock does not fluctuate. In addition to
the decline in net asset value, the market value of the fund's Common Stock may
also decline.

As a part of their investment strategy, the Funds may invest in certain
securities whose potential income return is inversely related to changes in a
floating interest rate ("inverse floaters"). In general, income on inverse
floaters will decrease when short-term interest rates increase and increase when
short-term interest rates decrease. Investments in inverse floaters may be
characterized as derivative securities and may subject the Funds to the risks of
reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of invested principal. In
addition, inverse floaters have the effect of providing investment leverage and,
as a result, the market value of such securities will generally be more volatile
than that of fixed-rate, tax-exempt securities. To the extent the Funds invest
in inverse floaters, the market value of each Fund's portfolio and the net asset
value of each Fund's shares may also be more volatile than if the Funds did not
invest in these securities. As of October 31, 2005, the percentages of MuniYield
Fund, Inc.'s, MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc.'s and MuniYield Quality Fund II,
Inc.'s total net assets invested in inverse floaters were 7.69%, 12.58% and
11.67%, respectively, before the deduction of Preferred Stock.

A Letter From the President

Dear Shareholder

As the financial markets continued to muddle their way through 2005, the Federal
Reserve Board (the Fed) advanced its monetary tightening campaign full steam
ahead. The 12th consecutive interest rate hike since June 2004 came on November
1, bringing the target federal funds rate to 4%. The central bank is clearly
more focused on inflationary figures than on economic growth, which has shown
some signs of moderating. Despite rising short-term interest rates and
record-high energy prices, the major market indexes managed to post positive
results for the current reporting period:

The headlines in recent months focused on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and, more
recently, the nomination of Ben Bernanke to succeed Alan Greenspan as Chairman
of the Fed. While the hurricanes prompted a spike in energy prices and
short-term disruptions to production and spending, the longer-term economic
impact is likely to be tempered. In fact, the fiscal stimulus associated with
reconstruction efforts in the Gulf Coast region could add to gross domestic
product growth in 2006. Notably, the uncontroversial nomination of Dr. Bernanke
was well received by the markets.

The U.S. equity markets remained largely range bound in 2005. Up to this point,
strong corporate earnings reports and relatively low long-term bond yields have
worked in favor of equities. Looking ahead, high energy prices, continued
interest rate hikes, a potential consumer slowdown and/or disappointing earnings
pose the greatest risks to U.S. stocks. Internationally, many markets have
benefited from strong economic statistics, trade surpluses and solid finances.

The bond market continued to be characterized by a flattening yield curve,
although long-term yields finally began to inch higher toward period end. The
10-year Treasury yield hit 4.57% on October 31, 2005, its highest level in more
than six months. Still, the difference between the two-year and 10-year Treasury
yield was just 17 basis points (.17%) at period end, compared to 149 basis
points a year earlier.

Financial markets are likely to face continued crosscurrents in the months
ahead. Nevertheless, opportunities do exist and we encourage you to work with
your financial advisor to diversify your portfolio among a variety of asset
types. This can help to diffuse risk while also tapping into the potential
benefits of a broader range of investment alternatives. As always, we thank you
for trusting Merrill Lynch Investment Managers with your investment assets.

                                Sincerely,


                                /s/ Robert C. Doll, Jr.

A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers

      The Funds outperformed their respective Lipper category averages for the
fiscal year and ended the period with a relatively neutral exposure to interest
rate risk.

Describe the recent market environment relative to municipal bonds.

Over the past year, long-term bond yields were little changed. Initially, U.S.
Treasury prices rallied strongly while their yields, which move in the opposite
direction, fell. By the end of June 2005, 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yields had
declined 60 basis points (.60%) to 4.19%. Bond prices improved in response to
several favorable factors, including moderating U.S. economic growth, slowing
growth in foreign economies, modest inflationary pressures and strong demand for
U.S. Treasury issues from Asian governments.

During the final months of the period, however, bond yields rose (prices fell)
as investors worried that higher energy costs in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita would pressure inflation upward. Stronger-than-expected third quarter
gross domestic product growth also added to inflationary concerns. For its part,
the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) continued to raise short-term interest rates
at each of its meetings, lifting the federal funds target rate to 4% on November
1, 2005. As short-term interest rates moved higher in concert with the Fed
interest rate hikes and longer-term bond yields remained steadier, the yield
curve continued to flatten.

During the past 12 months, 30-year Treasury bond yields declined three basis
points to 4.76%, while 10-year Treasury note yields rose 52 basis points to
4.57%. Tax-exempt bond yields exhibited a similar pattern. According to
Municipal Market Data, the yield on AAA-rated issues maturing in 30 years
increased one basis point to 4.59%, while the yield on AAA-rated issues maturing
in 10 years rose 52 basis points to 3.92%.

Historically low nominal tax-exempt bond yields continued to encourage
municipalities to issue new debt and refund outstanding, higher-couponed issues.
During the past year, more than $394 billion in new long-term tax-exempt bonds
was issued, an 8.4% increase over the previous year's total of $363 billion.
During the first nine months of 2005, the volume of refunding issues increased
by more than 55% versus the same period one year ago. Refunding issues were
heavily weighted in the 10-year - 20-year maturity range, putting pressure on
intermediate tax-exempt bond yields while supporting longer-term bond prices.

Investor demand for municipal product remained positive during most of the
period. The most current statistics from the Investment Company Institute
indicate that, year-to-date through September 2005, net new cash flows into
long-term municipal bond funds exceeded $6.7 billion -- a significant
improvement from the $12.9 billion net outflow seen during the same period in
2004. Notably, throughout much of the past year, high yield tax-exempt bond
funds have been the principal target for these new cash inflows. During recent
months, these lower-rated and non-rated bond funds received an average of $115
million per week. The need to invest these cash flows has led to strong demand
for lower-rated issues and a consequent narrowing of credit spreads.

Solid investor demand for tax-exempt issues generally helped municipal bond
performance approach that of taxable bonds in recent months and reverse some of
their prior underperformance. In addition, the ratio of tax-exempt bond yields
to taxable bond yields remains attractive and should continue to draw both
traditional and non-traditional investors to the municipal marketplace,
especially if municipal bond issuance remains manageable.

The communities shattered by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita will require extensive
reconstruction. It is too early to estimate the amount of tax-exempt debt that
may be required to finance these efforts or to assess the overall impact on the
municipal market. However, much of the rebuilding is likely to be funded through
federal loans and grants, and the reconstruction will likely be spread over a
number of years. Consequently, any new municipal bond issuance prompted by the
hurricanes is not likely to disrupt the tax-exempt market in the near future.


4                  ANNUAL REPORTS           OCTOBER 31, 2005


MuniYield Fund, Inc.

How did the Fund perform during the fiscal year?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2005, the Common Stock of MuniYield
Fund, Inc. had net annualized yields of 6.86% and 7.00%, based on a year-end per
share net asset value of $14.48 and a per share market price of $14.20,
respectively, and $.994 per share income dividends. Over the same period, the
total investment return on the Fund's Common Stock was +8.38%, based on a change
in per share net asset value from $14.31 to $14.48, and assuming reinvestment of
all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, significantly exceeded the
+5.08% average return of the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged)
category for the 12-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category invest
primarily in municipal debt issues rated in the top four credit-rating
categories. These funds can be leveraged via use of debt, preferred equity
and/or reverse repurchase agreements.)

Fund performance was driven by our overweight exposure to lower-rated,
higher-yielding credits, which outperformed the broader market as credit spreads
tightened during the year. The Fund benefited from the incremental yield
generated by these issues. Also additive to performance was our above-average
exposure to industrial development bonds, those issued by governmental agencies
on behalf of corporate entities to finance qualified projects. In selecting
securities in these sectors, we used the skill of our in-house staff of
analysts, and we were effectively able to capture much of the spread compression
and outperformance generated by these issues.

In addition, our neutral duration posture (that is, interest rate risk
consistent with that of our peers) and our strategy of moving further out on the
municipal yield curve enhanced results for the period. Based on our expectation
that the curve would flatten, we reduced exposure to bonds with 10-year
maturities in favor of 15-year and 25-year - 30-year issues. As the curve
flattened significantly, longer-dated bonds outperformed those with shorter
maturities, and Fund performance benefited accordingly.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2005, the total investment return on
the Fund's Common Stock was +1.88%, based on a change in per share net asset
value from $14.70 to $14.48, and assuming reinvestment of all distributions.

For a description of the Fund's total investment return based on a change in the
per share market value of the Fund's Common Stock (as measured by the trading
price of the Fund's shares on the New York Stock Exchange), and assuming
reinvestment of dividends, please refer to the Financial Highlights section of
this report. As a closed-end fund, the Fund's shares may trade in the secondary
market at a premium or discount to the Fund's net asset value. As a result,
total investment returns based on changes in the market value of the Fund's
Common Stock may vary significantly from total investment returns based on
changes in the Fund's net asset value.

What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

Portfolio activity during the year was primarily driven by our curve flattening
strategy, but also by our perception of good relative value at other points
along the yield curve. Specifically, in and around the 15-year and 25-year areas
of the curve, we purchased high-quality, liquid names. We paid for these
purchases with the proceeds from bonds that recently had been advance refunded.
This enabled us to lock in capital gains and redeploy the assets in areas where
we identified compelling value.

We reduced our overweight exposure to some of the riskier, higher-yielding
credits, albeit at a modest pace. In particular, we trimmed our position in
industrial development bonds rated B and BB. For the most part, the proceeds
from these sales were reinvested in health care and land-secured special tax
bonds, both of which exhibit stable credit outlooks.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2005, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Stock (AMPS) had average yields of 2.60% for Series A, 2.54% for
Series B, 2.72% for Series C, 2.20% for Series D, 2.41% for Series E, 2.43% for
Series F and 2.43% for Series G. The Fed's interest rate hikes are clearly
having a material impact on the Fund's borrowing costs. The Fed raised the
short-term interest rate target 200 basis points during the 12-month period (and
25 basis points more on November 1). Still, the tax-exempt yield curve remained
relatively steep and continued to generate an income benefit to the holders of
Common Stock from the leveraging of Preferred Stock. However, should the spread
between short-term and long-term interest rates narrow, the benefits of
leveraging will decline and, as a result, reduce the yield on the Fund's Common
Stock. At the end of the period, the Fund's leverage amount, due to AMPS, was
34.33% of total net assets, before the deduction of Preferred Stock. (For a more

complete explanation of the benefits and risks of leveraging, see page 2 of this
report to shareholders.)

How would you characterize the Fund's position at the close of the period?

At period-end, the Fund was positioned relatively neutral in terms of interest
rate risk, and somewhat less heavily weighted in lower-rated and non-rated
securities. We anticipate making further progress in reducing that exposure in
the coming months. In addition, we would also expect to lengthen the portfolio's
duration modestly, anticipating a slower economy and reflecting our view that
current inflationary fears are transitory. We will look to maintain our yield
advantage, a strategy that has enabled the Fund to outperform its peers in a
relatively stable interest rate environment.

MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc.

How did the Fund perform during the fiscal year?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2005, the Common Stock of MuniYield
Quality Fund, Inc. had net annualized yields of 6.37% and 6.71%, based on a
year-end per share net asset value of $15.02 and a per share market price of
$14.27, respectively, and $.957 per share income dividends. Over the same
period, the total investment return on the Fund's Common Stock was +3.10%, based
on a change in per share net asset value from $15.54 to $15.02, and assuming
reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, outpaced the +2.93% average
return of the Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category for the
12-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category invest primarily in municipal
debt issues insured as to timely payment. These funds can be leveraged via use
of debt, preferred equity and/or reverse repurchase agreements.)

The advance refunding of significant positions in the portfolio benefited Fund
performance most, particularly in the second half of the year. When municipal
bonds are advance refunded, or refinanced ahead of their maturity date, their
prices generally increase sharply. In addition, our defensive market posture,
which detracted from relative performance in the first half of the fiscal year,
enhanced results in the second half as long-term interest rates rose. Finally,
our ability to generate an above-average yield was additive to performance
throughout the 12-month period.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2005, the total investment return on
the Fund's Common Stock was +.58%, based on a change in per share net asset
value from $15.41 to $15.02, and assuming reinvestment of all distributions.

For a description of the Fund's total investment return based on a change in the
per share market value of the Fund's Common Stock (as measured by the trading
price of the Fund's shares on the New York Stock Exchange), and assuming
reinvestment of dividends, please refer to the Financial Highlights section of
this report. As a closed-end fund, the Fund's shares may trade in the secondary
market at a premium or discount to the Fund's net asset value. As a result,
total investment returns based on changes in the market value of the Fund's
Common Stock can vary significantly from total investment returns based on
changes in the Fund's net asset value.

What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

As in prior periods, we continued to favor bonds in the 25-year maturity range
and with premium coupons. More recently, we began to transition away from our
defensive market stance, taking advantage of episodes of market weakness (rising
yields and falling prices) to move toward a more neutral duration. We made this
shift in recognition of the overall higher yields in the market. The long end of
the curve, where yields had remained stubbornly low, finally began to inch
higher toward period-end.

The yield curve flattening phenomenon continued throughout the year, although it
was a much more significant factor in the first half of the fiscal year than in
the latter months. From May to October, the municipal yield curve flattened
approximately 10 basis points - 15 basis points between the 10-year and 30-year
sectors. This compared to 40 basis points in flattening in the first six months.
Nevertheless, we continued to pursue higher yields throughout the year by moving
further out on the curve and reducing exposure to shorter maturities. In doing
so, we carefully considered each bond's acquisition yield to ensure that the
sales would not have a material negative impact on the Fund's income stream, as
some of these shorter-maturity bonds were acquired in higher interest rate
environments. We also maintained the Fund's fully invested position in an effort
to preserve the level of income available to shareholders.


6                  ANNUAL REPORTS           OCTOBER 31, 2005


Finally, the Fund increased its use of leverage during the period with the
issuance of additional Auction Market Preferred Stock (AMPS). The goal was to
bring the Fund's AMPS leverage more in line with that of its peers and to
generate additional income for the portfolio. With the proceeds from the sale of
the AMPS, we invested in the longer end of the municipal yield curve, consistent
with our underlying investment strategy.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2005, the Fund's AMPS had average
yields of 2.61% for Series A, 2.35% for Series B, 2.34% for Series C, 2.32% for
Series D and 2.58% for Series E. The Fed's interest rate hikes clearly are
having a material impact on the Fund's borrowing costs. The Fed raised the
short-term interest rate target 200 basis points during the 12-month period (and
25 basis points more on November 1). Still, the tax-exempt yield curve remained
relatively steep and continued to generate an income benefit to the holders of
Common Stock from the leveraging of Preferred Stock. However, should the spread
between short-term and long-term interest rates narrow, the benefits of
leveraging will decline and, as a result, reduce the yield on the Fund's Common
Stock. At the end of the period, the Fund's leverage amount, due to AMPS, was
35.37% of total net assets, before the deduction of Preferred Stock. (For a more
complete explanation of the benefits and risks of leveraging, see page 2 of this
report to shareholders.)

How would you characterize the Fund's position at the close of the period?

We continue to favor maturities in the 25-year range. The Fund ended the period
close to neutral in terms of interest rate exposure. The Fed, having already
raised interest rates 12 times since June 2004, has come a long way in its
measured monetary tightening campaign. In recognition of this and the higher
rates all along the curve, we believe a more neutral duration is the appropriate
course. Having said that, we stand ready to adjust our strategy as market
dynamics dictate. At period-end, the Fund remained fully invested, reflecting
our efforts to generate the greatest level of tax-exempt income for our
shareholders.

A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers (concluded)

MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc.

How did the Fund perform during the fiscal year?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2005, the Common Stock of MuniYield
Quality Fund II, Inc. had net annualized yields of 6.35% and 6.60%, based on a
year-end per share net asset value of $13.36 and a per share market price of
$12.86, respectively, and $.849 per share income dividends. Over the same
period, the total investment return on the Fund's Common Stock was +3.98%, based
on a change in per share net asset value from $13.72 to $13.36, and assuming
reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, exceeded the +2.93% average
return of the Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category for the
12-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category invest primarily in municipal
debt issues insured as to timely payment. These funds can be leveraged via use
of debt, preferred equity and/or reverse repurchase agreements.) The first six
months of the year brought especially strong performance from a relatively
large, uninsured credit in the portfolio. Uninsured bonds performed quite well
as credit spreads (versus bonds of higher quality but similar maturity)
continued to narrow over the year. We took the opportunity to lock in profits
and sold the position.

In the second half of the year, the advance refunding of significant positions
in the portfolio benefited performance most. When municipal bonds are advance
refunded, or refinanced ahead of their maturity date, their prices generally
increase sharply. In addition, our defensive market posture, which detracted
from relative performance in the first half of the fiscal year, enhanced results
in the second half as long-term interest rates rose. Finally, our ability to
generate an above-average yield was additive to performance throughout the
12-month period.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2005, the total investment return on
the Fund's Common Stock was +.57%, based on a change in per share net asset
value from $13.71 to $13.36, and assuming reinvestment of all distributions.

For a description of the Fund's total investment return based on a change in the
per share market value of the Fund's Common Stock (as measured by the trading
price of the Fund's shares on the New York Stock Exchange), and assuming
reinvestment of dividends, please refer to the Financial Highlights section of
this report. As a closed-end fund, the Fund's shares may trade in the secondary
market at a premium or discount to the Fund's net asset value. As a result,
total investment returns based on changes in the market value of the Fund's
Common Stock can vary significantly from total investment returns based on
changes in the Fund's net asset value.

What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

As in prior periods, we continued to favor bonds in the 25-year maturity range
and with premium coupons. More recently, we began to transition away from our
defensive market stance, taking advantage of episodes of market weakness (rising
yields and falling prices) to move toward a more neutral duration. We made this
shift in recognition of the overall higher yields in the market. The long end of
the curve, where yields had remained stubbornly low, finally began to inch

The yield curve flattening phenomenon continued throughout the year, although it
was a much more significant factor in the first half of the fiscal year than in
the latter months. From May to October, the municipal yield curve flattened
approximately 10 basis points - 15 basis points between the 10-year and 30-year
sectors. This compared to 40 basis points in flattening in the first six months.
Nevertheless, we continued to pursue higher yields throughout the year by moving
further out on the curve and reducing exposure to shorter maturities. In doing

Finally, the Fund increased its use of leverage during the period with the
issuance of additional Auction Market Preferred Stock (AMPS). The goal was to
bring the Fund's AMPS leverage more in line with that of its peers and to
generate additional income for the portfolio. With the proceeds from the sale of
the AMPS, we invested in the longer end of the municipal yield curve, consistent
with our underlying investment strategy.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2005, the Fund's AMPS had average
yields of 2.60% for Series A, 2.25% for Series B, 2.28% for Series C and 2.53%
for Series D. The Fed's interest rate hikes clearly are having a material impact
on the Fund's borrowing costs. The Fed raised the short-term interest rate
target 200 basis points during the 12-month period (and 25 basis points more on
November 1). Still, the tax-exempt yield curve remained relatively steep and
continued to generate an income benefit to the holders of Common Stock from the
leveraging of Preferred Stock. However, should the spread between short-term and
long-term interest rates narrow, the benefits of leveraging will decline and, as
a result, reduce the yield on the Fund's Common Stock. At the end of the period,
the Fund's leverage amount, due to AMPS, was 34.89% of total net assets, before
the deduction of Preferred Stock. (For a more complete explanation of the
benefits and risks of leveraging, see page 2 of this report to shareholders.)

How would you characterize the Fund's position at the close of the period?

We continue to favor maturities in the 25-year range. The Fund ended the period
close to neutral in terms of interest rate exposure. The Fed, having already
raised interest rates 12 times since June 2004, has come a long way in its
measured monetary tightening campaign. In recognition of this and the higher
rates all along the curve, we believe a more neutral duration is the appropriate
course. Having said that, we stand ready to adjust our strategy as market
dynamics dictate. At period-end, the Fund remained fully invested, reflecting
our efforts to generate the greatest level of tax-exempt income for our
shareholders.

Swap Agreements

The Funds may invest in swap agreements, which are over-the-counter contracts in
which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market
value of a specified bond, basket of bonds, or index in return for periodic
payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the change in market
value of a different bond, basket of bonds or index. Swap agreements may be used
to obtain exposure to a bond or market without owning or taking physical custody
of securities. Swap agreements involve the risk that the party with whom each
Fund has entered into a swap will default on its obligation to pay the Fund and
the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the other
party to the agreement.

Dividend Policy

The Funds' dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net
investment income to their shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide
shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Funds may
at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in
any particular month and may at times in any 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 Statement of Net Assets, which comprises
part of the financial information included in these reports.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

MuniYield Fund, Inc., MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc. and MuniYield Quality Fund
II, Inc. (the "Funds" or individually as the "Fund") are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as non-diversified, closed-end
management investment companies. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require
the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from
these estimates. The Funds determine and make available for publication the net
asset value of their Common Stock on a daily basis. The Funds' Common Stock
shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MYD for
MuniYield Fund, Inc., MQY for MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc. and MQT for MuniYield
Quality Fund II, Inc. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies followed by the Funds.

(a) Valuation of investments -- Municipal bonds are traded primarily in the
over-the-counter ("OTC") markets and are valued at the last available bid price
in the OTC market or on the basis of values as obtained by a pricing service.
Pricing services use valuation matrixes that incorporate both dealer-supplied
valuations and valuation models. The procedures of the pricing service and its
valuations are reviewed by the officers of the Funds under the general direction
of the Board of Directors. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed
periodically by the Board of Directors of the Funds. Financial futures contracts
and options thereon, which are traded on exchanges, are valued at their closing
prices as of the close of such exchanges. Options written or purchased are
valued at the last sale price in the case of exchange-traded options. In the
case of options traded in the OTC market, valuation is the last asked price
(options written) or the last bid price (options purchased). Swap agreements are
valued by quoted fair values received daily by the Funds' pricing service.
Short-term investments with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued
at amortized cost, which approximates market value, under which method the
investment is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized on a
straight line basis to maturity. Investments in open-end investment companies
are valued at their net asset value each business day. Securities and other
assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of
Directors of the Funds.

(b) Derivative financial instruments -- Each Fund may engage in various
portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of each Fund and to
hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements and movements in
the securities markets. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the
contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

o     Financial futures contracts -- Each Fund may purchase or sell financial
      futures contracts and options on such futures contracts. Futures contracts
      are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date
      and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund
      deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by
      the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the
      contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount
      of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such
      receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the
      Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund
      records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value
      of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was
      closed.

o     Options -- Each Fund may purchase and write call and put options. When the
      Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund
      is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the
      liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market
      value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through
      an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added
      to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from
      (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires
      (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Fund realizes a gain
      or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or
      gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the
      premium paid or received).

      Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

o     Forward interest rate swaps -- Each Fund may enter into forward interest
      rate swaps. In a forward interest rate swap, the Fund and the counterparty
      agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional contract
      amount, commencing on a specified future effective date, unless terminated
      earlier. When the agreement is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or
      loss in an amount equal to the value of the agreement.

(c) Income taxes -- It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

(d) Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions are
recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates).
Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the
identified cost basis. Divided income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates.
Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The Funds amortize all
premiums and discounts on debt securities.

(e) Dividends and distributions -- Dividends from net investment income are
declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the
ex-dividend dates.

(f) Offering expenses -- Direct expenses relating to the public offering of each
Fund's Preferred Stock were charged to capital at the time of issuance of the
shares.

(g) Reclassification --

MuniYield Fund, Inc.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of
net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and
tax reporting. Accordingly, during the current year, $161,034 has been
reclassified between undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
realized capital losses as a result of permanent differences attributable to
amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities. This
reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of
net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and
tax reporting. Accordingly, during the current year, $82 has been reclassified
between accumulated realized capital losses and undistributed net investment
income as a result of permanent differences attributable to amortization methods
for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities. This reclassification has
no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates:

Each Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Fund Asset
Management, L.P. ("FAM"). The general partner of FAM is Princeton Services, Inc.
("PSI"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML
& Co."), which is the limited partner.

FAM is responsible for the management of the Funds' portfolios and provides the
necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary
to the operations of the Funds. For such services, each Fund pays a monthly fee
at an annual rate of .50% of the Fund's average weekly net assets, including
proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock. The Investment Adviser has agreed
to reimburse its management fee by the amount of management fees each Fund pays
to FAM indirectly through its investment in Merrill Lynch Institutional
Tax-Exempt Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2005, FAM reimbursed each Fund
as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                   Reimbursement

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
MuniYield Fund, Inc., MuniYield Quality Fund,
Inc. and MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets, including the
schedules of investments, of MuniYield Fund, Inc., MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc.
and MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc. (the "Funds") as of October 31, 2005, and
the related statements of operations 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 five years in the period then ended.
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, audits of their
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, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
positions of MuniYield Fund, Inc., MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc. and MuniYield
Quality Fund II, Inc. as of October 31, 2005, 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
five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

40                 ANNUAL REPORTS           OCTOBER 31, 2005


Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

How the Plan Works -- The Funds offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan")
under which income and capital gains dividends paid by each Fund are
automatically reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock of each Fund. The
Plan is administered on behalf of the shareholders by The Bank of New York for
MuniYield Fund, Inc. and MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc. and Equiserve Trust
Company N.A. for MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc. (individually, the "Plan Agent" or
together, the "Plan Agents"). Under the Plan, whenever the Funds declare a
dividend, participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of
Common Stock of each Fund. The Plan Agents will acquire the shares for the
participant's account either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but
authorized shares of each Fund ("newly issued shares") or (ii) by purchase of
outstanding shares of Common Stock on the open market on the New York Stock
Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the dividend payment date, each Fund's net asset
value per share is equal to or less than the market price per share plus
estimated brokerage commissions (a condition often referred to as a "market
premium"), the Plan Agents will invest the dividend amount in newly issued
shares. If the Funds' net asset value per share is greater than the market price
per share (a condition often referred to as a "market discount"), the Plan
Agents will invest the dividend amount by purchasing on the open market
additional shares. If the Plan Agents are unable to invest the full dividend
amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market
premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agents will invest any uninvested
portion in newly issued shares. The shares acquired are credited to each
shareholder's account. The amount credited is determined by dividing the dollar
amount of the dividend by either (i) when the shares are newly issued, the net
asset value per share on the date the shares are issued or (ii) when shares are
purchased in the open market, the average purchase price per share.

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

Benefits of the Plan -- The Plan provides an easy, convenient way for
shareholders to make additional, regular investments in the Funds. The Plan
promotes a long-term strategy of investing at a lower cost. All shares acquired
pursuant to the Plan receive voting rights. In addition, if the market price
plus commissions of each Fund's shares is above the net asset value,
participants in the Plan will receive shares of the Funds for less than they
could otherwise purchase them and with a cash value greater than the value of
any cash distribution they would have received. However, there may not be enough
shares available in the market to make distributions in shares at prices below
the net asset value. Also, since each Fund does not redeem shares, the price on
resale may be more or less than the net asset value.

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


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

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement Activities of and Composition of the
Board of Directors

All but one member of each Fund's Board of Directors is an independent director
whose only affiliation with Fund Asset Management, L.P. (the "Investment
Adviser") or other Merrill Lynch affiliates is as a director of each Fund and
certain other funds advised by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates. The
Co-chairmen of the Boards are also independent directors. New director nominees
are chosen as nominees by a Nominating Committee comprised of independent
directors. All independent directors also are members of each Board's Audit
Committee and the independent directors meet in executive session at each
in-person Board meeting. The Board and the Audit Committee meet in person for at
least two days each quarter and conduct other in-person and telephone meetings
throughout the year, some of which are formal board meetings, and some of which
are informational meetings. The independent counsel to the independent directors
attends all in-person Board and Audit Committee meetings and other meetings at
the independent directors' request.

Investment Advisory Agreements -- Matters Considered by the Board

Every year, each Board considers approval of each Fund's investment advisory
agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement"). Each Board assesses the nature,
scope and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the personnel of the
Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including administrative services,
shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting, marketing services and
assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. Each Board also
receives and assesses information regarding the services provided to the Fund by
certain unaffiliated service providers.

At various times throughout the year, each Board also considers a range of
information in connection with its oversight of the services provided by the
Investment Adviser and its affiliates. Among the matters considered are: (a)
fees (in addition to management fees) paid to the Investment Adviser and its
affiliates by each Fund; (b) Fund operating expenses paid to third parties; (c)
the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to each Fund's
investment objective, policies and restrictions, and its compliance with its
Code of Ethics and the Investment Adviser's compliance policies and procedures;
and (d) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services
provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

Each Board believes that the Investment Adviser is one of the most experienced
global asset management firms and considers the overall services provided by the
Investment Adviser to be of high quality. Each Board also believes that the
Investment Adviser is financially sound and well managed and notes that the
Investment Adviser is affiliated with one of America's largest financial firms.
Each Board works closely with the Investment Adviser in overseeing the
Investment Adviser's efforts to achieve good performance. As part of this
effort, each Board discusses portfolio manager effectiveness and, when
performance is not satisfactory, discusses with the Investment Adviser taking
steps such as changing investment personnel.

Annual Consideration of Approvals by the Board of Directors

In the period prior to the Board meeting to consider renewal of the Investment
Advisory Agreement, each Board requests and receives materials specifically
relating to the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement. These materials are
prepared separately with respect to each Fund, and include (a) information
compiled by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") on the fees and expenses and the investment
performance of the Fund as compared to a comparable group of funds as classified
by Lipper; (b) information comparing the Fund's market price with its net asset
value per share; (c) a discussion by the Fund's portfolio management team on
investment strategies used by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year; and
(d) information on the profitability to the Investment Adviser and its
affiliates of the Investment Advisory Agreement and other relationships with the
Fund. Each Board also considers other matters it deems important to the approval
process such as services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio
holdings, allocation of Fund portfolio transaction, the Fund's portfolio
turnover statistics, and direct and indirect benefits to the Investment Adviser
and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund.

Certain Specific Renewal Data

In connection with the most recent renewal of each Fund's Investment Advisory
Agreement in May 2005, the independent directors' and Board's review included
the following:

Services Provided by the Investment Adviser -- Each Board reviewed the nature,
extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Adviser, including the
investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Fund. Each
Board focused primarily on the Investment Adviser's investment advisory services
and the Fund's investment performance. Each Board compared Fund performance --
both including and excluding the effects of the Fund's fees and expenses -- to
the performance of a comparable group of


42                 ANNUAL REPORTS           OCTOBER 31, 2005


funds, and the performance of a relevant index or combination of indexes. While
each Board reviews performance data at least quarterly, consistent with the
Investment Adviser's investment goals, each Board attaches more importance to
performance over relatively long periods of time, typically three to five years.
The Board noted that the performance of MuniYield Fund, Inc. was superior. It
ranked in the first quintile for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended
May 31, 2005. The Board noted that the performance of MuniYield Quality Fund,
Inc. ranked in the third quintile for the one- and three-year periods, and in
the first quintile for the five-year period, ended May 31, 2005. The Board noted
that the performance of MuniYield Quality II Fund, Inc. ranked in the first
quintile for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended May 31, 2005.
Considering these factors, each Board concluded that the Fund's performance
supported the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The Investment Adviser's Personnel and Investment Process -- Each Board reviews
at least annually the Fund's investment objectives and strategies. Each Board
discusses with senior management of the Investment Adviser responsible for
investment operations and the senior management of the Investment Adviser's
municipal investing group the strategies being used to achieve the stated
objectives. Among other things, the Board considers the size, education and
experience of the Investment Adviser's investment staff, its use of technology,
and the Investment Adviser's approach to training and retaining portfolio
managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. Each Board also
reviews the Investment Adviser's compensation policies and practices with
respect to the Fund's portfolio managers. Each Board also considered the
experience of the Fund's portfolio manager. The Board of MuniYield Fund, Inc.
noted that Mr. Jaeckel has more than fifteen years of experience in portfolio
management. The Boards of MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc. and MuniYield Quality
Fund II, Inc. noted that Mr. Kalinoski has more than five years of experience in
portfolio management. The Investment Adviser and its investment staff have
extensive experience in analyzing and managing the types of investments used by
the Funds. Each Board concluded that the Fund benefits from that expertise.

Management Fees and Other Expenses -- Each Board reviews the Fund's contractual
management fee rate and actual management fee rate as a percentage of total
assets at common asset levels -- the actual rate includes advisory and
administrative service fees and the effects of any fee waivers -- compared to
the other funds in its Lipper category. It also compares the Fund's total
expenses to those of other, comparable funds. In the case of each Fund, the
contractual and actual management fee rates, as well as the total expenses, were
lower than the median of fees and expenses charged by comparable funds, as
determined by Lipper. Each Board has concluded that the Fund's management fee
and fee rate and overall expense ratio are reasonable compared to those of
other, comparable funds.

Profitability -- Each Board considers the cost of the services provided to the
Fund by the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser's and its affiliates'
profits relating to the management and distribution of the Fund and the
MLIM/FAM-advised funds. As part of its analysis, each Board reviewed the
Investment Adviser's methodology in allocating its costs to the management of
the Fund and concluded that there was a reasonable basis for the allocation. The
Boards also considered federal court decisions discussing an investment
adviser's profitability and profitability levels considered to be reasonable in
those decisions. Each Board believes the Investment Adviser's profits are
reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services provided.

Economies of Scale -- Each Board considered the extent to which economies of
scale might be realized as the assets of the Fund increase and whether there
should be changes in the management fee rate or structure in order to enable the
Fund to participate in these economies of scale. Each Board considered economies
of scale to the extent applicable to each Fund's closed-end structure and
determined that each Fund currently appropriately benefits from any economies of
scale and no changes were currently necessary.

Conclusion

After the independent directors deliberated in executive session, each entire
Board, including all of the independent directors, approved the renewal of the
existing Investment Advisory Agreement, concluding that the advisory fee was
reasonable in relation to the services provided and that a contract renewal was
in the best interests of the shareholders.

Dividend Policy

The Fund's 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 Fund 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 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 Fund for any particular month may be more
or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such
month. The Fund's current accumulated but undistributed net investment income,
if any, is disclosed in the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Capital, which
comprises part of the Financial Information included in this report.

Important Tax Information

All of the net investment income distributions paid by MuniYield Fund, Inc.,
MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc. and MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc. during the
taxable year ended October 31, 2005 qualify as tax-exempt interest dividends for
federal income tax purposes.

         (e)(1) The registrant's audit committee (the "Committee") has adopted
         policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services.
         Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the
         registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the
         Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services
         provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the
         registrant's affiliated service providers that relate directly to the
         operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of
         these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent
         with the SEC's auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring
         services that will not impair the independence of the independent
         accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a
         specific case-by-case basis ("general pre-approval"). However, such
         services will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual
         project does not exceed $5,000 attributable to the registrant or
         $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. 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.

Item 7 - Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End
         Management Investment Companies -
         Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

         Each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees has delegated to Merrill Lynch
         Investment Managers, L.P. and/or Fund Asset Management, L.P. (the
         "Investment Adviser") authority to vote all proxies relating to the
         Fund's portfolio securities. The Investment Adviser has adopted
         policies and procedures ("Proxy Voting Procedures") with respect to the
         voting of proxies related to the portfolio securities held in the
         account of one or more of its clients, including a Fund. Pursuant to
         these Proxy Voting Procedures, the Investment Adviser's primary
         objective when voting proxies is to make proxy voting decisions solely
         in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, and to act in
         a manner that the Investment Adviser believes is most likely to enhance
         the economic value of the securities held by the Fund. The Proxy Voting
         Procedures are designed to ensure that the Investment Adviser considers
         the interests of its clients, including the Funds, and not the
         interests of the Investment Adviser, when voting proxies and that real
         (or perceived) material conflicts that may arise between the Investment
         Adviser's interest and those of the Investment Adviser's clients are
         properly addressed and resolved.

         In order to implement the Proxy Voting Procedures, the Investment
         Adviser has formed a Proxy Voting Committee (the "Committee"). The
         Committee is comprised of the Investment Adviser's Chief Investment
         Officer (the "CIO"), one or more other senior investment professionals
         appointed by the CIO, portfolio managers and investment analysts
         appointed by the CIO and any other personnel the CIO deems appropriate.
         The Committee will also include two non-voting representatives from the
         Investment Adviser's Legal department appointed by the Investment
         Adviser's General Counsel. The Committee's membership shall be limited
         to full-time employees of the Investment Adviser. No person with any
         investment banking, trading, retail brokerage or research
         responsibilities for the Investment Adviser's affiliates may serve as a
         member of the Committee or participate in its decision making (except
         to the extent such person is asked by the Committee to present



         information to the Committee, on the same basis as other interested
         knowledgeable parties not affiliated with the Investment Adviser might
         be asked to do so). The Committee determines how to vote the proxies of
         all clients, including a Fund, that have delegated proxy voting
         authority to the Investment Adviser and seeks to ensure that all votes
         are consistent with the best interests of those clients and are free
         from unwarranted and inappropriate influences. The Committee
         establishes general proxy voting policies for the Investment Adviser
         and is responsible for determining how those policies are applied to
         specific proxy votes, in light of each issuer's unique structure,
         management, strategic options and, in certain circumstances, probable
         economic and other anticipated consequences of alternate actions. In so
         doing, the Committee may determine to vote a particular proxy in a
         manner contrary to its generally stated policies. In addition, the
         Committee will be responsible for ensuring that all reporting and
         recordkeeping requirements related to proxy voting are fulfilled.

         The Committee may determine that the subject matter of a recurring
         proxy issue is not suitable for general voting policies and requires a
         case-by-case determination. In such cases, the Committee may elect not
         to adopt a specific voting policy applicable to that issue. The
         Investment Adviser believes that certain proxy voting issues require
         investment analysis - such as approval of mergers and other significant
         corporate transactions - akin to investment decisions, and are,
         therefore, not suitable for general guidelines. The Committee may elect
         to adopt a common position for the Investment Adviser on certain proxy
         votes that are akin to investment decisions, or determine to permit the
         portfolio manager to make individual decisions on how best to maximize
         economic value for a Fund (similar to normal buy/sell investment
         decisions made by such portfolio managers). While it is expected that
         the Investment Adviser will generally seek to vote proxies over which
         the Investment Adviser exercises voting authority in a uniform manner
         for all the Investment Adviser's clients, the Committee, in conjunction
         with a Fund's portfolio manager, may determine that the Fund's specific
         circumstances require that its proxies be voted differently.

         To assist the Investment Adviser in voting proxies, the Committee has
         retained Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"). ISS is an
         independent adviser that specializes in providing a variety of
         fiduciary-level proxy-related services to institutional investment
         managers, plan sponsors, custodians, consultants, and other
         institutional investors. The services provided to the Investment
         Adviser by ISS include in-depth research, voting recommendations
         (although the Investment Adviser is not obligated to follow such
         recommendations), vote execution, and recordkeeping. ISS will also
         assist the Fund in fulfilling its reporting and recordkeeping
         obligations under the Investment Company Act.

         The Investment Adviser's Proxy Voting Procedures also address special
         circumstances that can arise in connection with proxy voting. For
         instance, under the Proxy Voting Procedures, the Investment Adviser
         generally will not seek to vote proxies related to portfolio securities
         that are on loan, although it may do so under certain circumstances. In
         addition, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to
         securities of foreign issuers only on a best efforts basis and may
         elect not to vote at all in certain countries where the Committee
         determines that the costs associated with voting generally outweigh the
         benefits. The Committee may at any time override these general policies
         if it determines that such action is in the best interests of a Fund.

From time to time, the Investment Adviser may be required to vote proxies in
respect of an issuer where an affiliate of the Investment Adviser (each, an
"Affiliate"), or a money management or other client of the Investment Adviser
(each, a "Client") is involved. The Proxy Voting Procedures and the Investment
Adviser's adherence to those procedures are designed to address such conflicts
of interest. The Committee intends to strictly adhere to the Proxy Voting
Procedures in all proxy matters, including matters involving Affiliates and
Clients. If, however, an issue representing a non-routine matter that is
material to an Affiliate or a widely known Client is involved such that the
Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its guidelines (or if
the particular proxy matter is not addressed by the guidelines) and vote
impartially, the Committee may, in its discretion for the purposes of ensuring
that an independent determination is reached, retain an independent fiduciary to
advise the Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment
Adviser's clients.



         In the event that the Committee determines not to retain an independent
         fiduciary, or it does not follow the advice of such an independent
         fiduciary, the powers of the Committee shall pass to a subcommittee,
         appointed by the CIO (with advice from the Secretary of the Committee),
         consisting solely of Committee members selected by the CIO. The CIO
         shall appoint to the subcommittee, where appropriate, only persons
         whose job responsibilities do not include contact with the Client and
         whose job evaluations would not be affected by the Investment Adviser's
         relationship with the Client (or failure to retain such relationship).
         The subcommittee shall determine whether and how to vote all proxies on
         behalf of the Investment Adviser's clients or, if the proxy matter is,
         in their judgment, akin to an investment decision, to defer to the
         applicable portfolio managers, provided that, if the subcommittee
         determines to alter the Investment Adviser's normal voting guidelines
         or, on matters where the Investment Adviser's policy is case-by-case,
         does not follow the voting recommendation of any proxy voting service
         or other independent fiduciary that may be retained to provide research
         or advice to the Investment Adviser on that matter, no proxies relating
         to the Client may be voted unless the Secretary, or in the Secretary's
         absence, the Assistant Secretary of the Committee concurs that the
         subcommittee's determination is consistent with the Investment
         Adviser's fiduciary duties

         In addition to the general principles outlined above, the Investment
         Adviser has adopted voting guidelines with respect to certain recurring
         proxy issues that are not expected to involve unusual circumstances.
         These policies are guidelines only, and the Investment Adviser may
         elect to vote differently from the recommendation set forth in a voting
         guideline if the Committee determines that it is in a Fund's best
         interest to do so. In addition, the guidelines may be reviewed at any
         time upon the request of a Committee member and may be amended or
         deleted upon the vote of a majority of Committee members present at a
         Committee meeting at which there is a quorum.

         The Investment Adviser has adopted specific voting guidelines with
         respect to the following proxy issues:

o     Proposals related to the composition of the Board of Directors of issuers
      other than investment companies. As a general matter, the Committee
      believes that a company's Board of Directors (rather than shareholders) is
      most likely to have access to important, nonpublic information regarding a
      company's business and prospects, and is therefore best-positioned to set
      corporate policy and oversee management. The Committee, therefore,
      believes that the foundation of good corporate governance is the election
      of qualified, independent corporate directors who are likely to diligently
      represent the interests of shareholders and oversee management of the
      corporation in a manner that will seek to maximize shareholder value over
      time. In individual cases, the Committee may look at a nominee's history
      of representing shareholder interests as a director of other companies or
      other factors, to the extent the Committee deems relevant.

o     Proposals related to the selection of an issuer's independent auditors. As
      a general matter, the Committee believes that corporate auditors have a
      responsibility to represent the interests of shareholders and provide an
      independent view on the propriety of financial reporting decisions of
      corporate management. While the Committee will generally defer to a
      corporation's choice of auditor, in individual cases, the Committee may
      look at an auditors' history of representing shareholder interests as
      auditor of other companies, to the extent the Committee deems relevant.

o     Proposals related to management compensation and employee benefits. As a
      general matter, the Committee favors disclosure of an issuer's
      compensation and benefit policies and opposes excessive compensation, but
      believes that compensation matters are normally best determined by an
      issuer's board of directors, rather than shareholders. Proposals to
      "micro-manage" an issuer's compensation practices or to set arbitrary
      restrictions on compensation or benefits will, therefore, generally not be
      supported.



o     Proposals related to requests, principally from management, for approval
      of amendments that would alter an issuer's capital structure. As a general
      matter, the Committee will support requests that enhance the rights of
      common shareholders and oppose requests that appear to be unreasonably
      dilutive.

o     Proposals related to requests for approval of amendments to an issuer's
      charter or by-laws. As a general matter, the Committee opposes poison pill
      provisions.

o     Routine proposals related to requests regarding the formalities of
      corporate meetings.

o     Proposals related to proxy issues associated solely with holdings of
      investment company shares. As with other types of companies, the Committee
      believes that a fund's Board of Directors (rather than its shareholders)
      is best-positioned to set fund policy and oversee management. However, the
      Committee opposes granting Boards of Directors authority over certain
      matters, such as changes to a fund's investment objective, that the
      Investment Company Act envisions will be approved directly by
      shareholders.

o     Proposals related to limiting corporate conduct in some manner that
      relates to the shareholder's environmental or social concerns. The
      Committee generally believes that annual shareholder meetings are
      inappropriate forums for discussion of larger social issues, and opposes
      shareholder resolutions "micromanaging" corporate conduct or requesting
      release of information that would not help a shareholder evaluate an
      investment in the corporation as an economic matter. While the Committee
      is generally supportive of proposals to require corporate disclosure of
      matters that seem relevant and material to the economic interests of
      shareholders, the Committee is generally not supportive of proposals to
      require disclosure of corporate matters for other purposes.

         (iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

      Real, potential or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a
portfolio manager has day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities with
respect to more than one fund or account, including the following:



      Certain investments may be appropriate for the Fund and also for other
clients advised by the Investment. Adviser and its affiliates, including other
client accounts managed by the Fund's portfolio management team. Investment
decisions for the Fund and other clients are made with a view to achieving their
respective investment objectives and after consideration of such factors as
their current holdings, availability of cash for investment and the size of
their investments generally. Frequently, a particular security may be bought or
sold for only one client or in different amounts and at different times for more
than one but less than all clients. Likewise, because clients of the Investment
Adviser and its affiliates may have differing investment strategies, a
particular security may be bought for one or more clients when one or more other
clients are selling the security. The investment results for the Fund may differ
from the results achieved by other clients of the Investment Adviser and its
affiliates and results among clients may differ. In addition, purchases or sales
of the same security may be made for two or more clients on the same day. In
such event, such transactions will be allocated among the clients in a manner
believed by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to be equitable to each.
The Investment Adviser will not determine allocations based on whether it
receives a performance based fee from the client. In some cases, the allocation
procedure could have an adverse effect on the price or amount of the securities
purchased or sold by the Fund. Purchase and sale orders for the Fund may be
combined with those of other clients of the Investment Adviser and its
affiliates in the interest of achieving the most favorable net results to the
Fund.

      To the extent that the Fund's portfolio management team has
responsibilities for managing accounts in addition to the Fund, a portfolio
manager will need to divide his time and attention among relevant accounts.

      In some cases, a real, potential or apparent conflict may also arise where
(i) the Investment Adviser may have an incentive, such as a performance based
fee, in managing one account and not with respect to other accounts it manages
or (ii) where a member of the Fund's portfolio management team owns an interest
in one fund or account he or she manages and not another.

      (a)(3) As of October 31, 2005:

      Portfolio Manager Compensation

      The Portfolio Manager Compensation Program of MLIM and its affiliates,
including the Investment Adviser, is critical to MLIM's ability to attract and
retain the most talented asset management professionals. This program ensures
that compensation is aligned with maximizing investment returns and it provides
a competitive pay opportunity for competitive performance.

      Compensation Program

      The elements of total compensation for MLIM and its affiliates portfolio
managers are a fixed base salary, annual performance-based cash and stock
compensation (cash and stock bonus) and other benefits. MLIM has balanced these
components of pay to provide portfolio managers with a powerful incentive to
achieve consistently superior investment performance. By design, portfolio
manager compensation levels fluctuate -- both up and down -- with the relative
investment performance of the portfolios that they manage.

      Base Salary

      Under the MLIM approach, like that of many asset management firms, base
salaries represent a relatively small portion of a portfolio manager's total
compensation. This approach serves to enhance the motivational value of the
performance-based (and therefore variable) compensation elements of the
compensation program.



      Performance-Based Compensation

      MLIM believes that the best interests of investors are served by
recruiting and retaining exceptional asset management talent and managing their
compensation within a consistent and disciplined framework that emphasizes pay
for performance in the context of an intensely competitive market for talent. To
that end, MLIM and its affiliates portfolio manager incentive compensation is
based on a formulaic compensation program. MLIM's formulaic portfolio manager
compensation program includes: investment performance relative to a subset of
general closed-end, leveraged municipal debt funds over 1-, 3- and 5-year
performance periods and a measure of operational efficiency. Portfolio managers
are compensated based on the pre-tax performance of the products they manage. If
a portfolio manager's tenure is less than 5 years, performance periods will
reflect time in position. Portfolio managers are compensated based on products
they manage. A discretionary element of portfolio manager compensation may
include consideration of: financial results, expense control, profit margins,
strategic planning and implementation, quality of client service, market share,
corporate reputation, capital allocation, compliance and risk control,
leadership, workforce diversity, supervision, technology and innovation. MLIM
and its affiliates also consider the extent to which individuals exemplify and
foster ML & Co.'s principles of client focus, respect for the individual,
teamwork, responsible citizenship and integrity. All factors are considered
collectively by MLIM management.

      Cash Bonus

      Performance-based compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a
combination of cash and stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with
base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for portfolio
managers.

      Stock Bonus

      A portion of the dollar value of the total annual performance-based bonus
is paid in restricted shares of ML & Co. stock. Paying a portion of annual
bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given
year "at risk" based on the company's ability to sustain and improve its
performance over future periods. The ultimate value of stock bonuses is
dependent on future ML & Co. stock price performance. As such, the stock bonus
aligns each portfolio manager's financial interests with those of the ML & Co.
shareholders and encourages a balance between short-term goals and long-term
strategic objectives. Management strongly believes that providing a significant
portion of competitive performance-based compensation in stock is in the best
interests of investors and shareholders. This approach ensures that portfolio
managers participate as shareholders in both the "downside risk" and "upside
opportunity" of the company's performance. Portfolio managers therefore have a
direct incentive to protect ML & Co.'s reputation for integrity.

      Other Compensation Programs

      Portfolio managers who meet relative investment performance and financial
management objectives during a performance year are eligible to participate in a
deferred cash program. Awards under this program are in the form of deferred
cash that may be benchmarked to a menu of MLIM mutual funds (including their own
fund) during a five-year vesting period. The deferred cash program aligns the
interests of participating portfolio managers with the investment results of
MLIM products and promotes continuity of successful portfolio management teams.



      Other Benefits

      Portfolio managers are also eligible to participate in broad-based plans
offered generally to employees of ML & Co. and its affiliates, including
broad-based retirement, 401(k), health, and other employee benefit plans.

      (a)(4) Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of October 31, 2005, Mr.
             Jaeckel does not beneficially own any stock issued by the Fund.
