A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

Over the past several months, financial markets have been buffeted by the housing recession, the credit market unraveling

and related liquidity freeze and steadily rising commodity prices. Counterbalancing these difficulties were booming export

activity, a robust non-financial corporate sector and, notably, aggressive and timely monetary and fiscal policy actions.

Amid the market tumult, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) intervened with a series of moves to bolster liquidity and

ensure financial market stability. Since September 2007, the central bank slashed the target federal funds rate 325 basis

points (3.25%), bringing the rate to 2.0% as of period-end. Of greater magnitude, however, were the Fed’s other policy

decisions, which included opening the discount window directly to broker dealers and investment banks and backstopping

the unprecedented rescue of Bear Stearns.

The Fed’s response to the financial crisis helped to improve credit conditions and investor mood. After hitting a low point

on March 17 (coinciding with the collapse of Bear Stearns), equity markets found a welcome respite in April, when the

S&P 500 Index of U.S. stocks posted positive monthly performance for the first time since October 2007. International

markets, which outpaced those of the U.S. for much of 2007, saw a reversal in that trend, as effects of the credit crisis and

downward pressures on growth were far-reaching.

In contrast to equity markets, Treasury securities rallied (yields fell as prices correspondingly rose), as a broad “flight-

to–quality” theme persisted. The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which touched 5.30% in June 2007 (its highest level

in five years), fell to 4.04% by year-end and to 3.77% by April 30. Treasury issues relinquished some of their gains in April,

however, as investor appetite for risk returned and other high-quality fixed income sectors outperformed.

Problems within the monoline insurance industry and the failure of auctions for auction rate securities plagued the

municipal bond market, driving yields higher and prices lower across the curve. However, in conjunction with the more

recent shift in sentiment, the sector delivered strong performance in the final month of the reporting period.

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

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2008

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. (MHD) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes by
investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal obligations the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the
issuers, is exempt from federal income taxes.

Performance

For the 12 months ended April 30, 2008, the Fund returned –4.74% based on market price, with dividends reinvested. The Fund’s return based on net
asset value (“NAV”) was –2.08%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) cat-
egory posted an average return of –3.47% on a NAV basis. Comparative performance was enhanced by the Fund’s overweight in high-quality pre-refund-
ed bonds, as credit spreads widened during the period. The relatively shorter duration of these securities also was a positive factor, as the differential
between short- and long-term municipal yields increased significantly. Additionally, Fund performance benefited from an above-average distribution yield.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2008

BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc. (MUS) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes
by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal obligations the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the
issuers, is exempt from federal income taxes. Under normal circumstances, the Fund also invests at least 80% of its total assets in municipal bonds
that are covered by insurance.

Performance

For the 12 months ended April 30, 2008, the Fund returned –4.34% based on market price, with dividends reinvested. The Fund’s return based on NAV
was –0.95%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an
average return of –1.68% on a NAV basis. The Fund’s performance benefited from an overweight in pre-refunded bonds, as the yield curve steepened
and shorter maturity issues outperformed. Conversely, problems within the monoline insurance industry had a negative impact on the entire insured
municipal market, detracting from the Fund’s performance for the period.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

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

To leverage, 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 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 invest-
ments, and therefore the Common Stock shareholders are the benefici-
aries 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 on the
fund’s Common Stock (that is, its price as listed on the New York Stock

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

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

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are permitted to
issue Preferred Stock in an amount up to 50% of their total managed
assets at the time of issuance. Each Fund also anticipates that its total
economic leverage will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets.
Economic leverage includes Preferred Stock and TOBs. As of April 30,
2008, BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. and BlackRock MuniHoldings
Insured Fund, Inc. had economic leverage of 40% and 45% of managed
assets, respectively.

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.

ments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are
valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services
selected under the supervision of each Fund’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing
services may use certain information with respect to transactions in
such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market
transactions in comparable investments and various relationships
between investments. Swap agreements are valued by quoted fair values
received by the Funds’ pricing service. Short-term securities are valued
at amortized cost.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a
price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the
market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by a
method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value
Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the invest-
ment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the
Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that
asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be
based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-
advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subse-
quently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

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

Forward interest rate swaps — The Funds may enter into forward
interest rate swaps. In a forward interest rate swap, the Funds 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. These periodic payments received or
made by the Funds are recorded in the accompanying Statements
of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses
are realized upon termination of the swap agreements. Swaps are
marked-to market daily and changes in value are recorded as un-
realized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated,
the Funds will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and
the Funds’ basis in the contract, if any. The Funds generally intend
to close each forward interest rate swap before the accrual date
specified in the agreement and therefore avoid entering into the
interest rate swap underlying each forward interest rate swap.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may
purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement
of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the
purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securi-
ties under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring
them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities
before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may
fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at
settlement then the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not
entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. Upon making a
commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Funds
will hold liquid assets worth at least the equivalent of the amount due.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Funds
leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts
(“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special
purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of
the funds, transfers municipal securities. Other funds managed by the
investment advisor may also contribute municipal securities to a TOB
into which the Funds have contributed securities. A TOB typically issues
two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates,
which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB
Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that
made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right
of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the
floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, and (2) to
transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal
securities from the TOB to the Fund. The cash received by the TOB
from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction
expenses, is paid to the Fund, which typically invests the cash in addi-
tional municipal securities. Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal securi-
ties to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, therefore the
municipal securities deposited into a TOB are presented in the Fund’s
Schedule of Investments and the proceeds from the transaction are
reported as a liability of the Fund.

20 ANNUAL REPORT

APRIL 30, 2008


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Interest income from the underlying securities is recorded by the Funds
on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing
and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee
services to a TOB are reported as expenses of the Funds. The floating
rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their
holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption
at par at each reset date. As of April 30, 2008, the aggregate value of
the underlying municipal securities transferred to TOBs, the related liabil-
ity for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on trust certifi-
cates during the period were as follows:

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

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniHoldings            2.395%— 
   Fund, Inc    $36,085,169    $17,530,000    3.374% 

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniHoldings            2.309%— 
Insured Fund, Inc    $13,182,245    $ 6,490,000    2.395% 

 
 
 

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

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

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

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment trans-
actions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into
(the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions
are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on
the accrual method. The Funds amortize all premiums and discounts
on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income
are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are
recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions to pre-
ferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 4.

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

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

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

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

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
“Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”) was issued and

ANNUAL REPORT

APRIL 30, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161
is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by
requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how
and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for,
and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations
and financial position. The investment advisor is currently evaluating the
implications of FAS 161 and the impact on the Funds’ financial state-
ment disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

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

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations there-
under represent general unsecured claims against the general assets
of each Fund. Each Fund may, however, elect to invest in common stock
of the other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the
Independent Directors in order to match its deferred compensation
obligations.

Other: Expenses directly related to each 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 appro-
priate methods.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

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

The Advisor is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such
services, each Fund pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.55%
of each Fund’s average daily net assets, including proceeds from the
issuance of Preferred Stock and TOBs.

The Advisor has agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of
investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Advisor indirectly through
its investment in affiliated money market funds. These amounts are
included in fees waived by the Advisor on the Statements of Operations.
For the year ended April 30, 2008, the amounts were as follows:

    Fees Waived 
    by Advisor 

 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc    $ 18 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc    $ 331 

 

The Advisor for MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc. has agreed to waive its
investment advisory fee on the proceeds of Preferred Stock that exceed
35% of the Fund’s total net assets. These amounts are included in fees
waived by advisor on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended
April 30, 2008, the waiver was as follows:

    Fees Waived 
    by Advisor 

 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc    $ 218,203 

 

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

For the year ended April 30, 2008, the Funds reimbursed the Advisor for
certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services
expenses on the Statements of Operations. The reimbursements were
as follows:

    Reimbursement 
    to Advisor 

 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc    $ 6,207 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc    $ 5,542 

 

Certain officers and/or directors of the Funds are officers and/or direc-
tors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates.

3. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for
the year ended April 30, 2008 were as follows:

    Total    Total 
    Purchases    Sales 

 
 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc    $108,363,851    $113,152,898

4. Capital Stock Transactions:

Each Fund is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of stock, includ-
ing Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share, all of which were initially
classified as Common Stock. The Board is authorized, however, to reclas-
sify any unissued shares of stock without approval of holders of
Common Stock.

Common Stock

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.

Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended April 30, 2008
and April 30, 2007 increased by 16,210 and 35,650, respectively, as a
result of dividend reinvestment.

BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc.

Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended April 30, 2008
and April 30, 2007 remained constant.

Preferred Stock

Preferred Stock of the Funds has a par value of $0.10 per share and a
liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, that entitle their holders to receive cash dividends at varying
annualized rates for each dividend period. The yields in effect at April
30, 2008 were as follows:

    BlackRock    BlackRock 
    MuniHoldings    MuniHoldings 
    Fund, Inc.    Insured Fund, Inc. 

 
 
Series A    3.78%    3.59% 
Series B    3.59%    3.59% 
Series C    4.37%     

 
 

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.

Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended April 30, 2008
and April 30, 2007 remained constant.

BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc.

Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended April 30, 2008
and April 30, 2007 remained constant.

Each Fund pays commissions to certain broker-dealers at the end of
each auction at an annual rate of 0.25%, calculated on the aggregate
principal amount. For the year ended April 30, 2008, Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated earned commissions as follows:

    Commissions 

 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc    $137,897 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc    $154,960 

 

Dividends on seven-day Preferred Stock are cumulative at a rate which
is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. If the
Preferred Stock fails to clear the auction on an auction date, each Fund
is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Stock
to holders of such shares for each successive dividend period until such
time as the stock is successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable
rate on the Preferred Stock for all of the series except BlackRock
MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. Series C is the higher of 110% of the AA
commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day
High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.
The maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Stock of BlackRock
MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. Series C is the higher of 110% plus or times
the Telerate/BBA LIBOR or 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade
Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. For the year
ended April 30, 2008, the Preferred Stock of each Fund was successfully
auctioned at each auction date until February 13, 2008. The low, high
and average dividend rates on the Preferred Stock for each Fund for the
year ended April 30, 2008 were as follows:

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.    Low    High    Average 

 
 
 
Series A    2.833%    4.75%    3.683% 
Series B    2.866%    4.75%    3.676% 
Series C    2.966%    5.198%    3.828% 

 
 
 
 
 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured             
Fund, Inc.    Low    High    Average 

 
 
 
Series A    2.866%    4.60%    3.678% 
Series B    2.756%    4.508%    3.652% 

 
 
 

Since February 13, 2008 the Preferred Stock of each Fund failed to
clear any auctions. As a result, the Preferred Stock dividend rates were
reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 2.756% to
5.198% . A failed auction is not an event of default for the Fund but it is
a liquidity event for the holders of the Preferred Stock. A failed auction
occurs when there are more sellers of a fund’s auction rate preferred
stock than buyers. It is impossible to predict how long this imbalance
will last. An auction for each Fund’s Preferred Stock may not occur for
some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, holders of Preferred
Stock may not have the ability to sell the Preferred Stock at its liquida-
tion preference.

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

The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of each Fund, in whole
or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any
accumulated unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The Preferred
Stock is also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share
plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared,

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and
liabilities of the Fund, as set forth in each Fund’s Articles Supplementary,
are not satisfied.

The holders of Preferred Stock have voting rights equal to the holders of
Common Stock (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders
of Common Stock (one vote per share) as a single class. However, hold-
ers of Preferred Stock, 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
Stock, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any
plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Stock,
(b) change each Fund’s subclassification as a closed-end investment
company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change
its business so as to cease to be an investment company.

5. Income Tax Information:

Reclassifications: 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, the current
year’s permanent book/tax differences for the Funds have been reclassi-
fied as follows:

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.

$83,653 has been reclassified between undistributed net investment
income and accumulated net realized gain as a result of permanent
differences attributable to the reclassification of distributions. This re-
classification has no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc.

$8,509,208 has been reclassified between paid-in-capital in excess of
par and accumulated net realized loss as a result of permanent differ-
ences attributable to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards. This
reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended
April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 was as follows:

    4/30/2008    4/30/2007 
   
 
Distributions paid from:         
   Tax-exempt income    $ 16,178,174    $16,870,018 
   Ordinary income    $ 100,708     
   Long-term capital gains    1,534,274     
   
 
Total distributions    $ 17,813,156    $16,870,018 
   
 

As of April 30, 2008, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax
basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt net income    $ 1,136,504 
Undistributed long-term net capital gains    342,059 
   
Total undistributed net earnings             1,478,563 
Net unrealized gains             2,766,193* 
   
Total accumulated net earnings    $ 4,244,756 
   

* The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains is attribu-
table primarily to the difference between book and tax amortization methods for
premiums and discounts on fixed income securities and the difference between
book and tax treatment of residual interest in tender option bonds.

BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended April
30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 was as follows:

    4/30/2008    4/30/2007 
   
 
Distributions paid from:         
Tax-exempt income    $ 12,555,586    $12,849,769 
   
 
Total distributions    $ 12,555,586    $12,849,769 
   
 

As of April 30, 2008, the components of accumulated losses on a tax
basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt net income    $ 321,416 
Undistributed long-term net capital gains     
   
Total undistributed net earnings    321,416 
Capital loss carryforward    (10,207,633)* 
Net unrealized losses    (1,849,248)** 
   
Total accumulated net losses    $ (11,735,465) 
   

* On April 30, 2008, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $10,207,633, of
which $9,583,913 expires in 2009 and $623,720 expires in 2016. This amount
will be available to offset future realized capital gains.
** The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses is attributa-
ble primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax deferral of losses on
straddles, the difference between book and tax amortization methods for premiums
and discounts on fixed income securities and the difference between book and tax
treatment of residual interest in tender option bonds.

6. Concentration Risk:

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

Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which reduces the
risk of loss due to issuer default. The market value of these bonds may
fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurer will
meet its obligation.

7. Restatement Information:

Subsequent to the initial issuance of their April 30, 2006 financial state-
ments, the Funds determined that the criteria for sale accounting in FAS
140 had not been met for certain transfers of municipal bonds related
to investments in TOB Residuals, and that these transfers should have
been accounted for as secured borrowings rather than as sales. As a
result, certain financial highlights for each of the two years in the period
ended April 30, 2005 have been restated to give effect to recording the
transfers of the municipal bonds as secured borrowings, including
recording interest on the bonds as interest income and interest on the
secured borrowings as interest expense.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Boards of Directors of BlackRock
MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. and BlackRock MuniHoldings
Insured Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of BlackRock MuniHoldings
Fund, Inc. and BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc. (the “Funds”)
as of April 30, 2008, 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 three 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 the financial statements
and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for
each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2005 (before the
restatement described in Note 7) were audited by other auditors whose
report, dated June 10, 2005, expressed a qualified opinion on the finan-
cial highlights because of the errors described in Note 7.

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 audits to obtain reasonable assur-
ance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over finan-
cial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over finan-
cial 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 April 30, 2008, by corre-
spondence with the custodians 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 of
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. and BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured
Fund, Inc. referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, their
financial position as of April 30, 2008, 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 three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited the adjustments, applied by management, to
restate certain financial highlights for each of the two years in the period
ended April 30, 2005 to correct the errors described in Note 7. These
adjustments are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. The audit
procedures that we performed with respect to the adjustments included
such tests as we considered necessary in the circumstances and were
designed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the adjust-
ments are appropriate and have been properly applied, in all material
respects, to the restated financial highlights for each of the two years in
the period ended April 30, 2005. We did not perform any audit proce-
dures designed to assess whether any additional adjustments to such
financial highlights might be necessary in order for such financial high-
lights to be presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In our opinion, the adjustments to the financial highlights for
each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2005 described in
Note 7 are appropriate and have been properly applied, in all material
respects. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any
procedures to such financial highlights other than with respect to the
adjustments described in Note 7 and, accordingly, we do not express
an opinion or any other form of assurance on such financial highlights.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

How the Plan Works — The Funds offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(the “Plan”) under which income and capital gains dividends paid by a
Fund are automatically reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock
of the Fund. The Plan is administered on behalf of the shareholders by
The BNY Shareowner Services (the “Plan Agent”). Under the Plan, when-
ever a Fund declares a dividend, participants in the Plan will receive the
equivalent in shares of Common Stock of the Fund. The Plan Agent will
acquire the shares for the participant’s account either (i) through receipt
of additional unissued but authorized shares of the Funds (“newly issued
shares”) or (ii) by 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, the Fund’s net asset value per share is equal to
or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage com-
missions (a condition often referred to as a “market premium”), the Plan
Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares. If the
Fund’s net asset value per share is greater than the market price per
share (a condition often referred to as a “market discount”), the Plan
Agent will invest the dividend amount by purchasing on the open market
additional shares. If the 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 Plan Agent will invest
any uninvested portion in newly issued shares. The shares acquired are
credited to each shareholder’s account. The amount credited is deter-
mined 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 the
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 volun-
tary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty
by writing to the Plan Agent.

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

Plan Fees — There are no enrollment fees or brokerage fees for partici-
pating in the Plan. The Plan Agent’s service fees for handling the rein-
vestment 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 distribu-
tions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax
that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends.
Therefore, income and capital gains may still be realized even though
shareholders do not receive cash. Participation in the Plan generally will
not affect the tax-exempt status of exempt interest dividends paid by
the Funds. 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 the 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.

Contact Information — All correspondence concerning the Plan, includ-
ing any questions about the Plan, should be directed to the Plan Agent
at BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, .O. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA,
15252-8035, Telephone: (866) 216-0242.

Additional Information

Dividend Policy

The Funds’ dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net
investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to
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 dislcosed in the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the
financial information included in this report.

Fund Certification

The Funds listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
have filed with the NYSE their annual chief executive officer certification
regarding compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards. The Funds filed

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

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC
for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’

Electronic Delivery

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

or Brokerages:

  General Information

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

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

The Funds will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including
annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders
with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly
called “householding” and it is intended to reduce expenses and elimi-
nate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your
shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you
instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents
to be combined with those for other members of your household, please
contact the Funds at (800) 441-7762.

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other
information regarding the Funds may be found on BlackRock’s website,
which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements not included in Audit Fees.

2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

     The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.

     Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

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


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

Item 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants – The following individuals are members of the
registrant’s separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with

Item 8 – Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies – as of April 30,
2008.

professionals comprised of Theodore R. Jaeckel, Jr., CFA, Managing Director at
BlackRock, and Walter O’Connor, Managing Director at BlackRock. Each is a member of
BlackRock’s municipal tax-exempt management group. Mr. Jaeckel and Mr. O’Connor are
responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio, including setting the


  Fund’s overall investment strategy, overseeing the management of the Fund and/or selecting
the Fund’s investments. Messrs. O’Connor and Jaeckel have been the Fund’s portfolio
managers since 2006.

Mr. Jaeckel joined BlackRock in 2006. Prior to joining BlackRock, he was a Managing
Director (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of Merrill Lynch Investment

He has been a portfolio manager with BlackRock or MLIM since 1991.

Mr. O’Connor joined BlackRock in 2006. Prior to joining BlackRock, he was a Managing
Director (Municipal Tax-Exempt Fund Management) of MLIM from 2003 to 2006 and was

(iv)    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 for the
Funds. In addition, BlackRock, its affiliates and any officer, director, stockholder or
employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale
BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates, or any officer,
director, stockholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions
than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities.
Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning
securities of companies of which any of BlackRock’s (or its affiliates’) officers, directors or
employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its
affiliates or the officers, directors or employees of any of them has any substantial economic
interest or possesses material non-public information. Each portfolio manager also may
manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy


utilized for a Fund. In this regard, it should be noted that Mr. Jaeckel currently manages
certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, Mr. Jaeckel assists in
managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees
earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or
involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other such
accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees.

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

(a)(3) As of April 30, 2008:

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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


(a)(4) Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of April 30, 2008, Mr. Jaeckel beneficially
owned stock issued by the Fund in the range of $1 - $10,000. As of April 30, 2008,
Mr. O’Connor did not beneficially own any stock issued by the Fund.
