A Letter to Shareholders

  Dear Shareholder

Financial markets weathered intense bouts of volatility in 2007, only to enter the new year with no relief. While most

major market indexes managed to post positive returns in 2007, January proved to be a trying month as fears of an

economic recession swelled.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), after cutting interest rates 100 basis points (1%) between September 2007

and year-end, more than matched those cuts in January alone. The Fed, responding to a slowing economy and con-

tinued fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis, cut interest rates 75 basis points in a rare unscheduled session on

January 22, and quickly followed with another 50-basis-point cut at its regular meeting on January 30. This brought

the target short-term interest rate to 3% as of the conclusion of this reporting period. In a statement accompanying its

action, the central bank cited “a deepening housing contraction” and “considerable stress in the credit markets.”

To be sure, subprime mortgage woes dominated headlines for much of 2007, spawning a widespread liquidity and

credit crisis with ramifications across global markets. The reverberations continue to be felt as stocks grapple with

recession fears, heightened volatility and weakening earnings growth. Small-cap and value-oriented stocks suffered

most in 2007, while large-cap and growth-oriented stocks fared better. International markets, which outperformed

the U.S. in 2007, generally experienced greater declines in January as investors grew increasingly risk averse.

The reaction has been similar in fixed income markets, with fears related to the economic slowdown, housing collapse

and subprime fallout prompting a flight to quality. Investors have largely shunned bonds associated with the housing

and credit markets in favor of higher-quality government issues. 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 3.67% by the end of January,

while prices correspondingly rose. The tax-exempt bond market set a new-issuance record in 2007, but has struggled

with additional concerns around the creditworthiness of bond insurers.

Against this volatile backdrop, the major benchmark indexes posted mixed results for the current reporting period:

Total Returns as of January 31, 2008     6-month     12-month  

 
 
U.S. equities (S&P 500 Index)     –4.32%       – 2.31%

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2008 (Unaudited) BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.

  Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. (MUH) 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 issuer, is exempt from federal income taxes.

  Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Fund returned +4.24% based on market price, with dividends reinvested. The Fund’s return based on net asset value (NAV) was +2.22%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of +0.88% on a NAV basis. Fund performance was positively impacted by three factors: an up-in-quality bias amid a widening in credit spreads; an emphasis on pre-refunded securities, which outperformed in the steepening yield curve environment; and an above-average dividend yield.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2008 (Unaudited) BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc.

  Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. (MUJ) seeks to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey personal income taxes by investing in a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal obligations the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey personal income taxes.

  Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Fund returned -0.58% based on market price, with dividends reinvested. The Fund’s return based on net asset value (NAV) was +4.27%, with dividends reinvested. For the same period, the Lipper New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of +1.64% on a NAV basis. Fund performance was impacted by three key factors: exposure to the long end of the municipal yield curve, which, along with discount-coupon bonds, underperformed as the curve steepened; a widening in credit spreads, which negatively impacted uninsured credits in the portfolio; and pressure on municipal bond insurers, which affected the entire insured municipal marketplace.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

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

To illustrate these concepts, assume a fund’s Common Stock capitaliza-
tion of $100 million and the issuance of Preferred Stock for an additional
$50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for invest-
ment 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. Of course, increases
in short-term interest rates would reduce (and even eliminate) the
dividends on the Common Stock.

In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Stock shareholders are signifi-
cantly lower than the income earned on the fund’s long-term investments,
and therefore the Common Stock shareholders are the beneficiaries of the
incremental yield. However, if short-term interest rates rise, narrowing

the differential between short-term and long-term interest rates, the
incremental yield pickup on the Common Stock will be reduced or
eliminated completely. At the same time, the market value of the
fund’s Common Stock (that is, its price as listed on the New York Stock
Exchange) may, as a result, decline. Furthermore, if long-term interest
rates rise, the Common Stock’s net asset value will reflect the full
decline in the price of the portfolio’s investments, since the value of
the fund’s Preferred Stock does not fluctuate. In addition to the decline
in net asset value, the market value of the fund’s Common Stock may
also decline.

As of January 31, 2008, BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. and
BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. had leverage
amounts, due to Preferred Stock, of 35% and 39% of total net assets,
respectively, before the deduction of Preferred Stock.

As a part of its investment strategy, the Funds may invest in certain
securities whose potential income return is inversely related to changes
in a floating interest rate (“inverse floaters”). In general, income on
inverse floaters will decrease when short-term interest rates increase
and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Investments in
inverse floaters may be characterized as derivative securities and may
subject the Funds to the risks of reduced or eliminated interest pay-
ments and losses of invested principal. In addition, inverse floaters have
the effect of providing investment leverage and, as a result, the market
value of such securities will generally be more volatile than that of fixed
rate, tax-exempt securities. To the extent the Funds invest in inverse
floaters, the market value of each Fund’s portfolio and the net asset
value of each Fund’s shares may also be more volatile than if the Funds
did not invest in these securities. (See Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements for details of municipal bonds transferred to tender option
bond trusts.)

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 securi-
ties. Swap agreements involve the risk that the party with whom each
Fund has entered into the 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock MuniHoldings New
Jersey 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 generally accepted in the United States of
America, which may require the use of management accruals and esti-
mates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Funds deter-
mine and make available for publication the net asset value of their
Common Stock on a daily basis. The Funds’ Common Stock shares are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols MUH and
MUJ, respectively.

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 the each Fund’s Board of Directors
(the “Directors” or 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 dealers, market
transactions in comparable investments and various relationships
between investments. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized
cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net
asset value each business day. In the event that application of these
methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is
deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment,
the investment will be valued by, under the direction of, or in accordance
with, a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair
Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the
investment 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 advisor and/or sub-advisor
deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently
reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Derivative Financial Instruments: Each Fund may engage in various
portfolio investment strategies to increase the return of the Fund and
to hedge, or protect, its 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.

Forward Interest Rate Swaps — Each Fund may enter into forward
interest rate swaps. In a forward interest rate swap, the Fund and the
counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified
notional contract amount, commencing on a specified future effective

date, unless terminated earlier. Changes in the value of the forward
interest rate swap are recognized as unrealized gains and losses.
When the agreement is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or
loss in an amount equal to the value of the agreement. The Fund
generally intends 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.

The Fund may utilize forward starting swaps for the purpose of
reducing the interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio and decreasing
the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk.

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

Other: Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are
charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses are generally
pro-rated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets of all the
BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Funds
invest in leveraged residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”) issued by ten-
der option bond trusts (“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party
sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which a Fund, or an agent
on behalf of the Fund, transfers municipal securities. A TOB typically
issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certifi-
cates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates,
which are generally issued to the Fund which made the transfer or to
affiliates of the Fund. The Funds’ transfer of the municipal securities to a
TOB is accounted for as a financing transaction, therefore the municipal
securities deposited into a TOB are presented in the Funds’ Schedules
of Investments and the proceeds from the transactions are reported as a
liability for trust certificates of the Funds. Similarly, proceeds from residual
certificates issued to affiliates, if any, from the transaction are included
in the liability for trust certificates. Interest income from the underlying
security is recorded by each Fund on an accrual basis. Interest expense
incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remar-
keting, 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. The TOB
residuals held by the Funds include the right of the Funds (1) to cause
the holders of a proportional share of the floating rate certificates to
tender their certificates at par, and (2) to transfer a corresponding share
of the municipal securities from the TOB to the Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

As of January 31, 2008 the aggregate value of the underlying municipal
securities transferred to TOBs were:

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

 
 
 
BlackRock MuniHoldings         3.064% –      
    Fund II, Inc     $16,870,000     3.605%     $35,246,407  
BlackRock MuniHoldings              
    New Jersey              
    Insured Fund, Inc     $ 4,325,000     3.51%     $ 9,342,432  

 
 
 

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

While the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit
investments in inverse floating rate securities such as TOB Residuals,
they generally do not allow the Funds to borrow money for purposes of
making investments. The Funds’ management believes that the Funds’
restrictions on borrowings do not apply to the liability for trust certifi-
cates reflected as a result of the Funds’ investments in TOB Residuals.

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

Effective January 31, 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, includ-
ing investment companies, before being measured and recognized in the
financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FIN
48 to the Funds, and has determined that that the adoption of FIN 48
does not have a material impact on the Funds’ 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 returns remain open for the years ended July 31,
2004 through July 31, 2007. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’
state and local tax returns remain open for an additional year depending
on the jurisdiction.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions
are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade

dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined
on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The
Funds amortize all premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends to common shareholders from
net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of
capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and dis-
tributions to Preferred Stock shareholders are accrued and determined
as described in Note 4.

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.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned sub-
sidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and adminis-
tration services. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC
Financial Services Group, Inc. are the 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 the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate
of .55% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets, including
proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock.

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. For the six months ended
January 31, 2008, the amounts were as follows:

    Reimbursements  

 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc     $ 11  
BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc     $7,451  

 

In addition, for BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc.,
the Advisor has agreed to waive its investment advisory fee on the
proceeds of Preferred Stock that exceeds 35% of the Fund’s total net
assets. For the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Advisor earned
fees of $1,436,966, of which $89,103 was waived.

In addition, the Advisor has entered into a separate sub-advisory agree-
ment with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate
of the Advisor, under which the Advisor pays BIM for services it provides,
a monthly fee at an annual rate that is a percentage of the management
fee paid by each Fund to the Advisor.

Each Fund reimbursed the Advisor for certain accounting services. The
reimbursements, which are included in accounting services in the
Statements of Operations, were as follows:

    Reimbursements  

 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc     $2,259  
BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc     $4,548  

 

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 six months ended January 31, 2008 were as follows:

        BlackRock  
        MuniHoldings  
    BlackRock     New Jersey

Total Sales     $32,433,016     $16,927,326  

 
 
 
4. Stock Transactions:          

Each Fund is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of stock, includ-
ing Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, all of which were initially
classified as Common Stock. The Board is authorized, however, to
reclassify any unissued shares of stock without approval of holders
of Common Stock.

Common Stock

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.

Shares issued and outstanding during the six months ended January 31,
2008 remained constant and during the year ended July 31, 2007
increased by 4,645 as a result of dividend reinvestment.

BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc.

Shares issued and outstanding during the six months ended January 31,
2008 remained constant and during the year ended July 31, 2007
increased by 72,669 as a result of dividend reinvestment.

Preferred Stock

Preferred Stock of the Funds have a par value of $.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 an
annual rate that may vary for the successive dividend periods. The
yields in effect at January 31, 2008 were as follows:

        BlackRock  
        MuniHoldings  
    BlackRock     New Jersey  
    MuniHoldings     Insured  
    Fund II, Inc.     Fund, Inc.  

 
 
Series A     3.40%     3.20%  
Series B     3.30%     3.10%  
Series C         3.20%  
Series D         3.00%  
Series E         3.00%  

 
 

Each Fund pays commissions to certain broker-dealers at the end of
each auction at an annual rate ranging from .25% to .375%, calculated
on the proceeds of each auction. For the six months ended January 31,
2008, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, earned commissions as follows:

    Commissions  

 
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc     $ 38,042  
BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc     $132,096  

 

Dividends on seven-day Preferred Stock are cumulative at a rate which
is reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. Dividends
on 28-day Preferred Stock are cumulative at a rate which resets every
28 days based on the results of an auction. If the Preferred Stock fails
to clear the auction on an auction date, the Fund is required to pay the
maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Stock to holders of such
stock for successive dividend periods until such time as the Preferred
Stock is successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on the
Preferred Stock 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. During the six months ended
January 31, 2008, the Preferred Stock of the Fund was successfully
auctioned at each auction date. The low, high and average dividend
ranges on the Preferred Stock for the Fund for the six months ended
January 31, 2008 were as follows:

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.              

 
 
 
    Low     High     Average  

 
 
 
Series A     3.20%     4.75%     3.82%

Each Fund may not declare dividends or make other distributions on
Common Stock or purchase any such stock if, at the time of the declara-
tion, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the out-
standing Preferred Stock would be 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,
if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and
liabilities of the Fund, as set forth in the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation/
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 as a single class. However, holders 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 sepa-
rately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganiza-
tion that would adversely affect the Preferred Stock, (b) change a Fund’s
sub classification as a closed-end investment company or change its
fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to
cease to be an investment company.

5. Capital Loss Carryforward:

BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.

On July 31, 2007, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of
$13,859,278, of which $872,684 expires in 2008, $12,107,981
expires in 2009, $689,205 expires in 2010 and $189,408 expires in
2011. This amount will be available to offset like amounts of any future
taxable gains.

BlackRock MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc.

On July 31, 2007, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of
$23,204,907, of which $22,969,013 expires in 2009 and $235,894
expires in 2011. This amount will be available to offset like amounts of
any future taxable gains.

6. Concentration Risk:

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by state
agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories. The Funds are
more susceptible to adverse financial, social, environmental, economic,
regulatory and political factors that may affect these state agencies,
other governmental entities and U.S. Territories, which could seriously
affect the ability of these states and their municipal subdivisions to
meet continuing obligations for principal and interest payments and
therefore could impact the value of the Funds’ investments and net asset
value per share, than if the Funds were not concentrated in securities
issued by state agencies, other governmental entities and U.S. Territories.

Many municipalities insure repayment of their obligations. Although bond
insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such
bonds remain subject to the risk that market value may fluctuate for
other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance company will
meet its obligations. These securities have been identified in the
Schedules of Investments.

7. Subsequent Events:

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Stock of each Fund failed to
clear any of its auctions. As a result, the Preferred Stock dividend rates
were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 3.32% to
3.41% . 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. Recent auction
market liquidity problems have triggered numerous failed auctions for
many closed-end funds, including BlackRock. A failed auction occurs
when there are more sellers of a fund’s auction rate preferred shares
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 a long
period of time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, holders of the
Preferred Stock may not have the amount of liquidity they desire or the
ability to sell the Preferred Stock at par.

Each Fund paid a tax-exempt income dividend to holders of Common
Stock in the amounts of $.063000 per share and $.053000 per
share relating to BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. and BlackRock
MuniHoldings New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc., respectively, on March 3,
2008 to shareholders of record on February 15, 2008.

The dividends declared on Preferred Stock for the period February 1,
2008 to February 29, 2008 for each Fund were as follows:

        BlackRock  
        MuniHoldings  
    BlackRock     New Jersey  
    MuniHoldings     Insured  
    Fund II, Inc.     Fund, Inc.  

 
 
Series A     $151,972     $ 84,366  
Series B     $145,899     $ 93,282  
Series C         $158,928  
Series D         $125,622

  Dividend Policy

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

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


Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

The Funds file their complete schedules 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.

Electronic Delivery

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

  Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks or
Brokerages:

Please contact your financial advisor. Please note that not all investment
advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.

  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.

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.

During the period, there were no material changes in the Funds’ invest-
ment objective or policies or to the Funds’ character 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.

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

BlackRock, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, herein “BlackRock”) has built a professional
working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and
systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over
another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of
investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees
and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are
treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and
advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may,
consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or
accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees
paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of
such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition,
BlackRock, its affiliates and 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 and
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 the Fund. In this connection, it
should be noted that certain portfolio managers currently manage certain accounts that are
subject to performance fees. In addition, certain portfolio managers assist 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 March 1, 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 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 to compare the performance of funds and
other accounts managed by each portfolio manager and the period of time over which
performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio manager, such benchmarks 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
each portfolio manager’s 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 Company’s ability to sustain and improve its performance
over future periods.

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:

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.


Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to each
portfolio manager may be voluntarily deferred by the portfolio manager into an account that
tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Each portfolio manager
is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among various options, including to certain of
the firm’s hedge funds and other unregistered products. Every portfolio manager is eligible
to participate in the deferred compensation program.

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. Company 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) As of March 1, 2008, Mr. Stuebe did not beneficially own any stock issued by the
Fund.
