SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT |

OCTOBER 31, 2012 |
|
|
In the final months of 2011, financial markets were highly volatile but were in a mode
of gradual improvement. Global central bank actions and better-than-expected economic data tempered investors anxiety after markets had been upended in the previous quarter by sovereign debt turmoil in the United States and Europe. Improving
sentiment carried over into early 2012 as investors felt some relief from the worlds financial woes. Volatility was low and risk assets (including stocks, commodities and high yield bonds) moved boldly higher through the first two months of
2012, while climbing Treasury yields pressured higher-quality fixed income assets.
Markets reversed course in the spring when Europes debt
problems boiled over once again. High levels of volatility returned as political instability threatened Greeces membership in the eurozone and debt problems in Spain grew increasingly severe. Sovereign debt yields in peripheral European
countries continued to rise while finance leaders deliberated over the fiscal integration of the currency bloc. Alongside the drama in Europe, investors were discouraged by gloomy economic reports from various parts of the world. A slowdown in
China, a key powerhouse for global growth, emerged as a particular concern. In the United States, disappointing jobs reports dealt a crushing blow to investor sentiment. Risk assets sold off in the second quarter as investors retreated to safe haven
assets.
Despite ongoing concerns about the health of the global economy and the debt crisis in Europe, most asset classes enjoyed a robust summer rally
powered mainly by expectations for policy stimulus from central banks in Europe and the United States. Global economic data continued to be mixed, but the spate of downside surprises seen in the second quarter had receded and, outside of some areas
of Europe, the risk of recession largely subsided. Additionally, in response to mounting debt pressures, the European Central Bank allayed fears by affirming its conviction to preserve the euro bloc. Early in September, the European Central Bank
announced its plan to purchase sovereign debt in the eurozones most troubled nations. Later that month, the US Federal Reserve announced its long- awaited and surprisingly aggressive stimulus program, committing to purchase $40
billion of agency mortgage-backed securities per month until the US economy exhibits enough strength to sustain real growth and the labor market shows solid improvement. These central bank actions boosted investor confidence and risk assets rallied
globally.
European stocks continued their advance in the final month of the reporting period as progress toward fiscal integration created a more
positive atmosphere for investors. However, as corporate earnings season got underway in the United States, lackluster results pointed to the fragility of global growth and pushed US equity markets down for the month of October. The period ended
with increasing concern about how and when US politicians would resolve the nations looming fiscal crisis, known as the fiscal cliff.
All asset classes performed well for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, with the strongest returns coming from US stocks and high yield bonds. For the
six-month period ended October 31, 2012, equities underperformed fixed income investments, where high yield was the leading sector. US and international stocks finished the six-month period with modest gains, while emerging market stocks lagged
other asset classes amid ongoing uncertainty. Near-zero short term interest rates continued to keep yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.
Although the financial world remains highly uncertain, we believe there are new avenues of opportunity new ways to invest and new markets to consider. We believe its our responsibility to help
investors adapt to todays new world of investing and build the portfolios these times require. We encourage you to visit www.blackrock.com/newworld for more information.

Municipal Market Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
For the 12-Month Period Ended October 31, 2012 |
|
|
Municipal bonds
delivered exceptional performance, with the S&P Municipal Bond Index gaining 9.57% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2012. In the later part of 2011, heightened volatility in equity markets led to increased demand for municipal bonds as
investors flocked to more stable asset classes. The municipal market benefited from an exuberant Treasury market amid global uncertainty in addition to muted new issuance. Supply was constrained while demand from both traditional and non-traditional
buyers was strong, pushing long-term municipal bond yields lower and sparking a curve-flattening trend that continued through year end. Ultimately, 2011 was one of the strongest performance years in municipal market history and municipal bonds
outperformed most fixed income asset classes for the year.
Market conditions remained favorable in 2012 even though supply picked up considerably. As the fiscal situation for
municipalities continued to improve, the rate of new issuance came back in line with historical averages. Total new issuance for the first ten months of 2012 was $313 billion as compared to $288 billion for the entire year of 2011. It is important
to note that refunding activity has accounted for a large portion of supply in 2012 as issuers refinanced their debt at lower interest rates. Refunding issues are easily absorbed by the market because when seasoned bonds are refinanced, issuers
re-enter the market via cheaper and predominantly shorter-maturity financing. Investors, in turn, support these new issues with the proceeds from bond maturities or coupon payments.
Increased supply was met with the continuation of strong demand in 2012 as investors remained starved for yield in a low-rate environment. Investors poured into municipal bond mutual funds, particularly those with
long-duration and high-yield investment mandates as they tend to provide higher levels of income. Year-to-date through October 2012, flows into municipal funds have totaled $48.034 billion (according to the Investment Company Institute). Following
an extensive period of significant outflows from late 2010 through mid-2011, these robust 2012 inflows are telling of the complete turnaround in confidence. Municipal market supply-and-demand technicals typically strengthen considerably upon the
conclusion of tax season as net negative supply takes hold (i.e., more bonds are being called and maturing than being issued) and this theme remained intact for 2012.
In the spring, a resurgence of concerns about Europes financial crisis and weakening US economic data drove municipal bond yields lower and prices higher. In addition to income and capital preservation,
investors were drawn to the asset class for its relatively low volatility. As global sentiment improved over the summer, municipal bonds outperformed the more volatile US Treasury market. In September, unexpectedly muted new issuance drove prices
higher. October, traditionally a weaker month for the municipal bond market, saw slight gains as demand continued to outpace supply. Given these positive market factors, the S&P Municipal Bond Index has gained 7.03% year-to-date through October
31, 2012.
Overall, the municipal yield curve moved lower during the period from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2012. As measured by Thomson Municipal
Market Data, yields declined by 93 basis points (bps) to 2.82% on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds and by 67 bps to 1.72% on 10-year bonds, while yields on 5-year issues fell 59 bps to 0.67%. While the entire municipal curve flattened
over the 12-month time period, the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities tightened by 79 bps, and in the 2- to 10-year range, the spread tightened by 53 bps.
The fundamental picture for municipalities continues to improve. Austerity has been the general theme across the country as states set their budgets, although a small number of states continue to rely on a
kick-the-can approach to close their budget gaps, using aggressive revenue projections and accounting gimmicks. It has been nearly two years since the fiscal problems plaguing state and local governments first became highly publicized
and the prophecy of widespread defaults across the municipal market has not materialized. Year-to-date through October 2012, total outstanding municipal bonds entering into debt service cash-payment default for the first time had an aggregate par
value of $1.99 billion. This amount represents only 0.65% of total issuance year-to-date and 0.053% of total municipal bonds outstanding. This compares favorably to data for the full year 2011 when first-time defaults totaled 0.84% of issuance and
0.065% of outstanding. (Data provided by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.) BlackRock maintains the view that municipal bond defaults will remain in the periphery and the overall market is fundamentally sound. We continue to recognize that careful
credit research and security selection remain imperative amid uncertainty in this economic environment.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2012 |
|
BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. |
BlackRock MuniAssets
Fund, Inc.s (MUA) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide high current income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of medium- to lower-grade or unrated municipal obligations, the interest on
which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from
federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds that are rated in the medium to lower categories by nationally recognized rating
services (for example, Baa or lower by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poors Corporation) or non-rated securities which are of comparable quality. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or
synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
For the six-month
period ended October 31, 2012, the Fund returned 10.02% based on market price and 7.49% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of
8.75% based on market price and 8.15% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance
based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. Contributing positively to performance during the period were the Funds sector concentrations in transportation, utilities, health and corporate-related debt. The
Funds yield curve-flattening bias also proved beneficial. The Fund has consistently emphasized longer-dated securities in order to benefit when long-term rates decline faster than short-term rates, a scenario that occurred during the period.
Security selection detracted from performance in the state tax-backed, school districts, health and transportation sectors; however, the cumulative effect of security selection in the Fund was positive for the period. US Treasury financial futures
contracts used to hedge interest rate risk in the Fund also had a modestly negative impact on performance. The distribution yield generated by the Funds holdings fell below the average of its Lipper category peers, causing a drag on the
Funds total return for the period.
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are
subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc. |
BlackRock
MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc.s (MEN) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment
management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal
market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds rated investment grade quality at the time of investment and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with maturities of more than ten years at the time of investment.
The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the
Funds investment objective will be achieved.
For the six-month
period ended October 31, 2012, the Fund returned 11.23% based on market price and 6.76% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of
9.55% based on market price and 7.15% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance
based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. During the period, the Fund benefited from declining interest rates (bond prices rise when interest rates fall), the flattening of the yield curve (long-term rates fell more
than short and intermediate rates), coupon income and the tightening of credit spreads. The Funds allocation to zero-coupon bonds delivered particularly strong performance amid declining interest rates. Exposure to the health sector also
proved beneficial as spreads tightened significantly in that space. The Funds short position in US Treasury futures as a strategy for hedging interest rate risk was a modest detractor from performance during the period.
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this
report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.s (MHD) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its
assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated

No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
For the six-month
period ended October 31, 2012, the Fund returned 10.15% based on market price and 8.25% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of
9.55% based on market price and 7.15% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds premium to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based
on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. Contributing positively to performance during the period were the Funds duration positioning (preference for securities with a higher sensitivity to interest rate movements)
and yield curve-flattening bias. The Fund has consistently emphasized longer-dated securities in order to benefit when long-term rates decline faster than short-term rates, a scenario that occurred during the period. In addition, sector
concentrations in health and transportation had a notable positive impact on returns. The Funds holdings generated a high distribution yield, which in the aggregate, had a meaningful impact on returns. Security selection detracted from
performance in the state tax-backed, health and tobacco sectors; however, the cumulative effect of security selection in the Fund was positive for the period. US Treasury financial futures contracts used to hedge interest rate risk in the Fund also
had a modestly negative impact on performance.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2012 |
|
BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc. |
BlackRock
MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc.s (MUH) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market
conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets
in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of
derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
For the six-month
period ended October 31, 2012, the Fund returned 10.76% based on market price and 7.95% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of
9.55% based on market price and 7.15% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds premium to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based
on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. Contributing positively to performance during the period were the Funds duration positioning (preference for securities with a higher sensitivity to interest rate movements)
and yield curve-flattening bias. The Fund has consistently emphasized longer-dated securities in order to benefit when long-term rates decline faster than short-term rates, a scenario that occurred during the period. In addition, sector
concentrations in health and transportation had a notable positive impact on returns. The Funds holdings generated a high distribution yield, which in the aggregate, had a meaningful impact on returns. Security selection detracted from
performance in the state tax-backed, health and tobacco sectors; however, the cumulative effect of security selection in the Fund was positive for the period. US Treasury financial futures contracts used to hedge interest rate risk in the Fund also
had a modestly negative impact on performance.
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and
are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

BlackRock MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc. |
BlackRock
MuniHoldings Quality Fund, Inc.s (MUS) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in
long-term, investment grade municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in
investment grade municipal obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
For the six-month
period ended October 31, 2012, the Fund returned 18.91% based on market price and 7.89% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of
9.55% based on market price and 7.15% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance
based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Funds long duration posture (greater sensitivity to interest rates) contributed positively to performance as the municipal yield curve flattened (i.e., longer-term
interest rates fell more than shorter rates) and bond prices moved higher on the long end of the curve. The Funds longer-dated holdings in the health, transportation and utilities sectors experienced the strongest price appreciation. The
Funds small position in US Treasury futures as a strategy for hedging interest rate risk was a slight detractor from performance as rates generally declined. The Funds potential return was limited by its low exposure to tobacco, which
was the strongest performing sector for the period.

BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. |
BlackRock Muni
Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.s (MUI) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide common shareholders with high current income exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at
least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 75% of its assets in municipal
bonds rated investment grade and invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds with a duration of three to ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
For the six-month
period ended October 31, 2012, the Fund returned 9.16% based on market price and 6.09% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 7.36% based on market price
and 4.83% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds premium to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following
discussion relates to performance based on NAV. The Fund benefited from its neutral-to-long average duration bias (greater sensitivity to interest rates) and its preference for longer-dated maturities, within its intermediate duration mandate, as
interest rates generally declined and the yield curve flattened (long-term interest rates fell more than short and intermediate rates) during the period. The Fund also benefited from a tightening of credit spreads during the period, with additional
positive performance contributions from its allocations to the health and corporate sectors, which were among the better performing segments of the market for the period. US Treasury financial futures contracts used to hedge interest rate risk in
the Fund also had a modestly negative impact on performance.

Fund II, Inc.s (MVT) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment
management. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund
invests, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of its assets in municipal bonds rated investment grade and invests primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten years at the time of investment. The Fund may invest
directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment
objective will be achieved.
For the six-month
period ended October 31, 2012, the Fund returned 12.00% based on market price and 7.98% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of
9.55% based on market price and 7.15% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Funds premium to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based
on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. Contributing positively to performance during the period were the Funds duration positioning (preference for securities with a higher sensitivity to interest rate movements)
and yield curve-flattening bias. The Fund has consistently emphasized longer-dated securities in order to benefit when long-term rates decline faster than short-term rates, a scenario that occurred during the period. In addition, sector
concentrations in health and transportation had a notable positive impact on returns. The Funds holdings generated a high distribution yield, which in the aggregate, had a meaningful impact on returns. Security selection detracted from
performance in the health and tobacco sectors; however, the cumulative effect of security selection in the Fund was positive for the period. US Treasury financial futures contracts used to hedge interest rate risk in the Fund also had a modestly
negative impact on performance.

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

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

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a
disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
|
Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access
|
|
|
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices
for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities,
credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for
instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for
disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds policy,
transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the
investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to
Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
