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 (Unaudited) BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

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

Performance

For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Fund returned +0.91% based on market price, with dividends reinvested. The Fund’s return based on net
asset value (“NAV”) was –2.59%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category
posted an average return of –0.86% on a NAV basis. Fund performance was negatively impacted by two key factors: above-average exposure to the
longer end of the yield curve, which declined as long-term rates increased and short-term rates declined; and above-average exposure to lower-rated
credits and other spread sectors (for example, housing), which underperformed on a total return basis.

income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term municipal
obligations the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuers, is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

was –0.81%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return
of –1.42% on a NAV basis.A slightly defensive duration stance and a higher cash equivalent reserve position versus its Lipper peers provided the Fund’s
NAV some cushion against volatility from widening credit spreads and rising long-term investment rates. Management’s strategy is to balance total
return by opportunistically improving current yield, while maintaining a neutral duration.

BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

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

Performance

For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Fund returned +1.28% based on market price, with dividends reinvested. The Fund’s return based on NAV
was –0.13%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper California Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an aver-
age return of –1.18% on a NAV basis. A slightly defensive duration stance and a higher cash equivalent reserve position versus its Lipper peers pro-
vided the Fund’s NAV some cushion. Management’s strategy is to balance total return by opportunistically improving current yield, while maintaining
a neutral duration. Management has also been pursuing transactions aimed at swapping into bonds wrapped by those monoline insurers that have
less subprime mortgage exposure and therefore, are more apt to maintain their AAA credit rating.

BlackRock MuniYield Florida Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniYield Florida Fund (MYF) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is
consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term municipal obligations the
interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuers, is exempt from federal income taxes and which enables shares of the Fund to be exempt
from Florida intangible personal property taxes.

Performance

For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Fund returned +1.87% based on market price, with dividends reinvested. The Fund’s return based on NAV
was –1.21%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Florida Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of
–1.18% on a NAV basis. Problems within the monoline insurance industry had a negative impact on the entire insured municipal market, detracting from
Fund results. Exposure to uninsured hospital and single-family housing bonds also hindered performance. Conversely, the Fund’s performance for the
period benefited from an overweight in pre-refunded bonds, as the yield curve steepened and shorter-maturity issues outperformed.

ment by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term municipal obligations the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuers, is

Performance

For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Fund returned –0.36% based on market price, with dividends reinvested. The Fund’s return based on NAV
was –0.56%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New York Insured Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average
return of –0.68% on a NAV basis.The Fund’s above-average distribution yield and neutral duration position during a period of rising interest rates in the
municipal market benefited comparative performance for the period. Conversely, the relative return was hampered by the Fund’s longer-dated holdings,
which proved more volatile as risk spreads increased and the municipal yield curve steepened.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

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

To leverage, the Funds issue Preferred Stock or Shares, which pay divi-
dends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in
long-term municipal bonds. The interest earned on these investments is
paid to Common Stock Shareholders or Common Shareholders in the
form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected
in the per share net asset value of the Funds’ Common Stock or Shares.
However, in order to benefit Common Stock Shareholders or Common
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 or Common 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 or Shares
capitalization of $100 million and the issuance of Preferred Stock or
Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 mil-
lion 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 or Shares
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 or
Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than the income earned on
the fund’s long-term investments, and therefore the Common Stock
Shareholders or Common 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 or Shares will be
reduced or eliminated completely. At the same time, the market value

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

In addition, the Funds may from time to time leverage their assets
through the use of tender option bond (“TOB”) programs. In a typical
TOB program, the Fund transfers one or more municipal bonds to a TOB
trust, which issues short-term variable rate securities to third-party
investors and a residual interest to the Fund. The cash received by the
TOB trust from the issuance of the short-term securities (less transaction
expenses) is paid to the Fund, which invests the cash in additional port-
folio securities. The distribution rate on the short-term securities is reset
periodically (typically every seven days) through a remarketing of the
short-term securities. Any income earned on the bonds in the TOB trust,
net of expenses incurred by the TOB trust, that is not paid to the holders
of the short-term securities is paid to the Fund. In connection with man-
aging the Funds’ assets, the Funds’ investment advisor may at any time
retrieve the bonds out of the TOB trust typically within seven days. TOB
investments generally will provide a Fund with economic benefits in
periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Fund to
risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to those
associated with Preferred Stock or Shares 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 or Shares in an amount of up to 50% of their
total managed assets at the time of issuance. Each Fund also antici-
pates that its total economic leverage will not exceed 50% of its total
managed assets. Economic leverage includes Preferred Stock or Shares
and TOBs. As of April 30, 2008, BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund,
Inc., BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield
California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield Florida Fund,
BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock
MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc. had economic leverage of 43%,
41%, 40%, 40%, 41% and 41% 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 inter-
est 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 obligation to pay
the other party to the agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield California
Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock
MuniYield Florida Fund, BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II,
Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc. (the “Funds”
or individually as the “Fund”), are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as non-diversified,
closed-end management investment companies. The Funds’ financial
statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles gener-
ally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the
use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. Each Fund determines and makes available for
publication the net asset value of their Common Stock/Shares on a
daily basis.

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

Valuation of Investments: Municipal investments (including commit-
ments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are
valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services
selected under the supervision of each Fund’s Board of Directors or
Trustees, as appropriate (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 bond deal-
ers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and
various relationships between investments. Financial futures contracts
are traded on exchanges and are valued at their last sale price. Swap
agreements are valued by quoted fair values received daily 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 each
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 Instruments: The Funds may engage in various port-
folio investment strategies to increase the return of the Fund and to
hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements and move-
ments in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the con-
tract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the under-
lying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Financial futures contracts — The Funds may purchase or sell financial
futures contracts and options on such financial futures contracts.
Financial 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, a Fund deposits, and maintains as
collateral, such initial margin as required by the exchange on which
the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, a 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 each Fund as
unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, each Fund
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed.

Forward interest rate swaps — The Funds 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. These periodic payments received or
made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statements of
Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses
are also realized upon termination of the swap agreements. Swaps
are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as
unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The Funds generally intend to
close each forward interest rate swap before the accrual date speci-
fied 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
securities 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 pur-
chased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required
to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the
purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settle-
ment. Upon making a commitment to purchase a security on a when-
issued basis, the Fund will hold liquid assets worth at least the equiva-
lent 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 or to affiliates of the Fund. The TOB Residuals held by
a Fund include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of a pro-
portional 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 additional municipal securities. Each Fund’s transfer of the
municipal securities 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 trans-
action are reported as a liability of the Fund. Similarly, proceeds from
residual certificates issued to affiliates, if any, from the transaction are
included in liability for trust certificates.

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
liability for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on trust
certificates during the period were as follows:

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

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniYield            2.832% – 
   Arizona Fund, Inc    $ 9,534,572    $ 4,335,000    3.258% 

 
 
 
Blackrock MuniYield            2.21% – 
   California Fund, Inc.    $ 72,339,033    $35,365,000    3.271% 

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniYield             
   California Insured            2.21% – 
   Fund, Inc    $103,857,429    $50,908,321    3.043% 

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniYield            2.61% – 
   Florida Fund    $ 36,384,354    $16,757,956    2.91% 

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniYield             
   Michigan Insured            2.166% – 
   Fund II, Inc    $ 37,770,389    $18,153,593    2.987% 

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniYield             
   New York Insured            2.778% – 
   Fund    $135,418,750    $63,042,500    3.06% 

 
 
 

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

Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive posi-
tions of the Securities and Exchange Commmission (“SEC”) require
that each Fund segregate assets in connection with certain investments
(e.g., when-issued securities or swaps), each Fund 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.

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.

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 de-
termined 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 com-
panies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders/stockholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision
is required.

Effective April 30, 2008 the Funds implemented Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement
No.109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition
threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for
uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken
by an entity, including investment companies, before being measured
and recognized in the financial statements. The investment advisor has

48 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

APRIL 30, 2008


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

evaluated the application of FIN 48 to the Funds, and has determined
that the adoption of FIN 48 does not have a material impact on any of
the 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 the Funds’ U.S. federal tax
returns remain open for the years ended October 31, 2004 through
October 31, 2006. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ 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 statement disclo-
sures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In addition, in February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted
as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November
15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of
FAS 157. 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 presen-
tation 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 state-
ment 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
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
the Funds’ Board, non-interested Directors or Trustees, (“Independent
Directors/Trustees”) may defer a portion of their annual complex-wide
compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though
equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of

other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent
Directors/Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for
the Independent Directors or Trustees as if the Independent Directors/
Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in the other certain
BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereun-
der represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of
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/Trustees in order to match its deferred compen-
sation obligations. Investments to cover the Funds’ deferred compensa-
tion liability, if any, are included in other assets on the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities.

Other: Expenses directly related to one of the Funds is charged to that
Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated
among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other
appropriate methods.

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 sub-
sidiary of BlackRock, Inc. 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 of the Fund’s
portfolios 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
0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, including proceeds from
the issuance of Preferred Stock or Shares and TOBs.

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

    Waived by 
    the Advisor 

 
BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc    $ 3,415 
BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc    $45,974

The Advisor has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement 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 six months ended April 30, 2008, each of the Funds reimbursed
the Advisor for certain accounting services expenses which is included
in accounting services in the Statements of Operations. The reimburse-

Dividends on seven-day Preferred Stock or Shares are cumulative at a
rate which is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction.
If the Preferred Stock or Shares fails to clear the auction on an auction
date, each Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the
Preferred Stock or Shares 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 or Shares is foot-
noted as applicable, on the above chart. During the six months ended
April 30, 2008, the Preferred Stock or Shares of each Fund was suc-
cessfully auctioned at each auction date until February 13, 2008. The

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Stock or Shares of the Funds
failed to clear any auctions. As a result, the Preferred Stock or Share
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 Funds but it is a liquidity event for the holders of the Preferred
Stock or Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of
a Fund’s auction rate Preferred Stock or Shares than buyers. It is impos-
sible to predict how long this imbalance will last. An auction for each
Fund’s Preferred Stock or Shares may not occur for some time, if ever,
and even if liquidity does resume, holders of the Preferred Stock or
Shares may not have the ability to sell the Preferred Stock or Shares
at its liquidation preference.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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

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

The holders of Preferred Stock or Shares have voting rights equal to the
holders of Common Stock or Shares (one vote per share) and will vote
together with holders of Common Stock or Shares as a single class.
However, holders of Preferred Stock or Shares, voting as a separate
class, are also entitled to elect two Directors/Trustees 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 major-
ity of any outstanding Preferred Stock or Shares, voting separately as
a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that
would adversely affect the Preferred Stock or Shares (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. Concentration Risk:

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

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

6. Capital Loss Carryforward:

BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc.

As of October 31, 2007, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of
$217,588, all of which expires in 2011. This amount will be available to

in 2010 and $1,288,851 expires in 2012. These amounts will be avail-
able to offset future realized capital gains.

BlackRock MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc.

$30,088,597, of which $7,390,734 expires in 2008, $3,007,157
expires in 2010, $16,583,200 expires in 2012 and $3,107,506
expires in 2014. This amount will be available to offset future realized
capital gains.

7. Subsequent Events:

Each Fund paid a tax-exempt income dividend to holders of Common
Stock or Shares on June 2, 2008 to shareholders of record on May 15,
2008. The amount of the tax-exempt income dividend per share was

Additional Information

Dividend Policy

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

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

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quar-
ters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available
on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may also be reviewed

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

nate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your

to be combined with those for other members of your household, please
contact the Funds at (800) 441-7762.

in order to facilitate the redemption of the Funds’ Preferred Stock or
Shares. The following phrase was added to the definition of “Deposit
Securities” found in the Funds’ Certificates of Designation/Articles
Supplementary:

; provided, however, that solely in connection with any redemption of
AMPS, the term Deposit Securities shall include (i) any committed
financing pursuant to a credit agreement, reverse repurchase agree-
ment facility or similar credit arrangement, in each case which makes

available to the Corporation, no later than the day preceding the
applicable redemption date, cash in an amount not less than the
aggregate amount due to Holders by reason of the redemption of
their shares of AMPS on such redemption date; and (ii) cash
amounts due and payable to the Corporation out of a sale of its
securities if such cash amount is not less than the aggregate amount
due to Holders by reason of the redemption of their shares of AMPS
on such redemption date and such sale will be settled not later than
the day preceding the applicable redemption date.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT APRIL 30, 2008 55



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

to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities
is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling toll-free
