A Letter From the President

Dear Shareholder

You may be aware that changes are on the horizon at Merrill Lynch Investment
Managers ("MLIM"). On February 15, 2006, Merrill Lynch announced plans to
combine the firm's investment advisory business, including MLIM, with another
highly regarded investment manager -- BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock").

We believe this merger of asset management strength will benefit our investors.
MLIM is a leading investment management organization with over $576 billion in
assets under management globally and 2,757 employees in 17 countries. It offers
over 100 investment strategies in vehicles ranging from mutual funds to
institutional portfolios. BlackRock is one of the largest publicly traded
investment management firms in the United States with $463.1 billion in assets
under management and 1,839 employees. It manages assets on behalf of
institutional and individual investors worldwide through a variety of equity,
fixed income, liquidity and alternative investment products.

At the completion of the transaction, which is expected in the third quarter of
this year, the resultant firm will be a top-10 investment manager worldwide with
over $1 trillion in assets under management.* The combined company will provide
a wider selection of high-quality investment solutions across a range of asset
classes and investment styles. MLIM and BlackRock possess complementary
capabilities that together create a well-rounded organization uniting some of
the finest money managers in the industry. At the same time, the firms share
similar values and beliefs -- they are focused on delivering excellence on
behalf of clients, and both make investment performance their single most
important mission. In short, the merger only reinforces our commitment to
shareholders.

Most of MLIM's investment products -- including mutual funds, separately managed
accounts, annuities and variable insurance funds -- eventually will carry the
"BlackRock" name. As a shareholder in one or more MLIM-advised mutual funds, you
will receive a proxy package in the coming weeks in connection with this
transaction. After you receive this information, should you have any questions
or concerns, do not hesitate to contact your financial advisor.

As always, we thank you for entrusting us with your investment assets, and we
look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs with even greater
strength and scale as the new BlackRock.

                                          Sincerely,


                                          /s/ Robert C. Doll, Jr.

                                          Robert C. Doll, Jr.
                                          President and Chief Investment Officer
                                          Merrill Lynch Investment Managers

*     $1.039 trillion in assets under management as of March 31, 2006.

      Data, including assets under management, are as of March 31, 2006.

A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers

      The Funds outperformed their respective Lipper category averages for the
period while also offering shareholders an attractive level of tax-exempt
income.

Describe the recent market environment relative to municipal bonds.

Long-term bond yields rose sharply during the six-month period ended April 30,
2006, with much of the increase occurring in March and April 2006. Bond prices,
which move opposite of yields, declined. Bond prices were pressured as investors
focused on solid economic growth, both globally and in the United States, and
renewed inflationary pressures deriving from rising commodity prices. First
quarter 2006 gross domestic product growth was recently estimated at 4.8%, well
above the 1.7% rate recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005.

The Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) continued to raise short-term interest rates
at each of its meetings during the period, bringing the federal funds target
rate to 4.75% at period-end, and to 5% on May 10. In response, the Treasury
curve continued to flatten, with short-term interest rates rising more than
longer-term interest rates. Over the past six months, 30-year U.S. Treasury bond
yields rose 41 basis points (.41%) to 5.17% and 10-year U.S. Treasury note
yields rose 50 basis points to 5.07%, the highest level since May 2002.

While the municipal yield curve also flattened during the period, the market's
strong technical position provided significant price support. This allowed
municipal bond prices to improve slightly or decline much less than those of
their taxable counterparts. As measured by Municipal Market Data, yields on
AAA-rated issues maturing in 30 years fell six basis points to 4.53%, while
yields on AAA-rated issues maturing in 10 years rose 16 basis points to 4.08%.

For the most part, the tax-exempt market's recent outperformance has been
fostered by a dramatic decline in new bond issuance so far in 2006. In 2005,
more than $408 billion in new long-term tax-exempt bonds was underwritten, a new
annual record and an increase of more than 13% compared to 2004. Over the past
six months, $170 billion in long-term municipal bonds was issued, a decline of
8.6% versus the same period a year earlier. The record new issuance in 2005 was
largely triggered by a 47% increase in refunding activity as issuers took
advantage of historically low bond yields and a flattening yield curve to
refinance outstanding higher-couponed debt. Year-to-date through April 2006,
refunding issuance declined more than 55% relative to the first four months of
2005. This decline already has led some analysts to reduce their forecasts for
2006 new issuance from the $350 billion - $370 billion range to $300 billion -
$325 billion. Lower annual issuance would further solidify the tax-exempt
market's already positive technical position.

The tax-exempt market has continued to enjoy strong investor demand. As reported
by the Investment Company Institute, long-term municipal bond funds received net
new monies of $5.0 billion in 2005 -- a sharp reversal from the $3.7 billion
outflow in 2004. During the first quarter of 2006, tax-exempt mutual funds
received over $9.3 billion, slightly higher than the $8.9 billion inflow during
the same period in 2005. Recent statistics from AMG Data Services indicate that,
thus far in 2006, weekly cash flows into long-term municipal bond funds averaged
over $300 million, a significant improvement from the weekly average of $65
million in December 2005.

Looking ahead, the fundamentals for the tax-exempt bond market appear favorable,
and continued positive cash flows are anticipated. Given their attractive yields
relative to comparable U.S. Treasury bonds, and the prospects for reduced
issuance in 2006, we believe municipal bonds could enjoy solid results in the
coming months.

MuniYield Fund, Inc.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, the Common Stock of MuniYield
Fund, Inc. had net annualized yields of 6.69% and 6.42%, based on a period-end
per share net asset value of $14.57 and a per share market price of $15.18,
respectively, and $.483 per share income dividends. Over the same period, the
total investment return on the Fund's Common Stock was +4.03%, based on a change
in per share net asset value from $14.48 to $14.57, and assuming reinvestment of
all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, significantly exceeded the
+2.60% average return of the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged)
category for the six-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category invest
primarily in municipal debt issues rated in the top four credit-rating
categories. These funds can be leveraged via use of debt, preferred equity
and/or reverse repurchase agreements.) As in prior periods, Fund performance
continued to be driven by our overweight exposure to lower-rated,
higher-yielding credits. As credit spreads tightened throughout the period,
lower-rated instruments outperformed the broader market and provided both price
appreciation and incremental yield for the Fund. Our exposure to airline-related
debt, in particular, proved to be the most significant factor in the Fund's
outperformance. The airline sector had been the sole laggard in the high yield
space until investors finally took notice of the industry's improving prospects
within the past three months to six months.

Also benefiting Fund performance was our active management of the portfolio's
duration, or its sensitivity to interest rate risk. Entering the period, we had
a neutral duration posture compared to our Lipper peers, with the intention of
lengthening that position slightly going into the end of 2005 -- which we did.
In light of market improvement, we subsequently shortened our duration modestly
in a timely move ahead of the market backup that occurred in the latter half of
the period. We also continued to position the portfolio to take advantage of the
flattening trend in the municipal yield curve. The curve did flatten further
over the past six months, and our strategy contributed to performance.

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

What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

We had anticipated further flattening of the municipal yield curve during the
period and, as such, portfolio activity remained focused on taking advantage of
that trend. To that end, we typically made purchases in the 20-year - 30-year
maturity range using proceeds from the sale of bonds with much shorter
maturities, such as those in the five-year - 10-year area. We also looked to
sell longer-dated bonds that were likely to be called by their issuers in that
five-year - 10-year time frame.

In fact, the problem of longer, higher-coupon issues being called by issuers is
one that has challenged most investors as long-term interest rates declined or
failed to rise as anticipated. As a result, many portfolios have seen a
tremendous influx of cash, which they have opted to invest in lower-rated,
higher-yielding credits. During this period, we sought to take advantage of the
fairly aggressive pricing that this demand has caused by selling some of our
high yield issues, and thereby reducing our overweight position in this sector.

A number of factors have combined to sharply reduce the overall supply of
municipal issues in the early months of 2006. The low interest rate environment
of 2005 may have exhausted much of the potential new-issue supply, and with
interest rates having risen somewhat over the past few months, some issuers may
have been discouraged from coming to market. Despite this dearth of new supply,
our superior research and analysis capabilities allowed the Fund to identify
opportunities in lesser known issues that most other investors may have
overlooked. This activity has helped us to maintain a competitive dividend
distribution rate despite the ill effects of early calls, scant supply and
declining yields.


                SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS                 APRIL 30, 2006             5


A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers (continued)

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Stock (AMPS) had an average yield of 3.06% for Series A, 2.96% for
Series B, 3.15% for Series C, 3.21% for Series D, 2.96% for Series E, 3.03% for
Series F and 2.99% for Series G. The Fed raised the short-term interest rate
target 100 basis points during the six-month period (and another 25 basis points
on May 10), and this continued to affect the Fund's borrowing costs. We would
expect additional increases in the cost of funds to be more limited as the Fed
nears a pause in its monetary tightening campaign. Despite the rate increases
during the period, the tax-exempt yield curve maintained a positive slope,
allowing us to borrow at a lower rate than where we invest. This continued to
generate an income benefit to the holders of Common Stock from the leveraging of
Preferred Stock. However, should the spread between short-term and long-term
interest rates narrow, the benefits of leveraging will decline and, as a result,
reduce the yield on the Fund's Common Stock. At the end of the period, the
Fund's leverage amount, due to AMPS, was 34.50% of total net assets, before the
deduction of Preferred Stock. (For a more complete explanation of the benefits
and risks of leveraging, see page 10 of this report to shareholders.)

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

At period-end, the Fund was neutrally positioned in terms of both interest rate
risk and credit quality, having reduced our overweight position in lower-rated
securities somewhat. Our yield curve outlook has changed in response to recent
speculation that the Fed may be closer to the end of its monetary tightening
program. Therefore, we believe the majority of the curve flattening is behind
us, and we are in the early stages of reducing our exposure to the long end of
the curve. We now see the most attractive value closer to the middle of the
curve, around the 10-year -- 15-year range. While we believe there is still some
risk of further Fed tightening, the markets tend to anticipate and react to
those moves before the fact, so we prefer to be at the front end of that trend.

MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, the Common Stock of MuniYield
Quality Fund, Inc. had net annualized yields of 5.50% and 5.91%, based on a
period-end per share net asset value of $14.89 and a per share market price of
$13.85, respectively, and $.406 per share income dividends. Over the same
period, the total investment return on the Fund's Common Stock was +2.04%, based
on a change in per share net asset value from $15.02 to $14.89, and assuming
reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, outpaced the +1.94% average
return of the Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category for the
six-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category invest primarily in municipal
debt issues insured as to timely payment. These funds can be leveraged via use
of debt, preferred equity and/or reverse repurchase agreements.)

Overall, the municipal market performed fairly well in this period of rising
interest rates. The yield curve continued to flatten as the long end rallied
slightly while the short end underperformed. Against this backdrop, Fund
performance benefited from our strategy of moving further out on the curve as
opportunities presented themselves. Also contributing to Fund results was our
focus on maintaining an above-average yield and, consistent with that goal,
remaining fully invested.

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


6               SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS                 APRIL 30, 2006


What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

We entered the period with a neutral posture as the Fed appeared to be
approaching a pause in its rate-hiking campaign. Although both the Treasury and
the municipal yield curves continued to flatten during the past six months, the
move was not nearly as dramatic as we have seen in prior periods. Notably, the
municipal curve retained a positive slope, particularly relative to the Treasury
curve which actually inverted early in 2006, and this contributed to the
market's and the Fund's positive performance.

The other important dynamic in the municipal market during the six-month period
was the drop in new issuance, especially fixed rate, longer-term issuance. This
decline in supply supported the performance of the municipal market, but also
meant there were fewer options for restructuring the portfolio. Notwithstanding
that fact, we were still able to take advantage of inter-period volatility,
using backups in market yields to selectively book tax losses (that is, taking
losses to offset any gains) and swap into other bonds in instances where we
thought it would be beneficial to the Fund. In addition, we sold some of the
portfolio's premium-coupon, short-call bonds into a strong market inquiry. Given
that there was an interested buyer in the market, we were able to sell the bonds
at very favorable prices. Generally speaking, we redeployed the proceeds from
the sale into bonds with maturities in the 25-year range and with coupons of
approximately 5%.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Stock (AMPS) had average yields of 3.09% for Series A, 3.00% for
Series B, 3.23% for Series C, 3.02% for Series D and 3.01% for Series E. The Fed
raised the short-term interest rate target 100 basis points during the six-month
period (and another 25 basis points on May 10), and this continued to affect the
Fund's borrowing costs. We would expect additional increases in the cost of
funds to be more limited as the Fed nears a pause in its monetary tightening
campaign. Despite the rate increases during the period, the tax-exempt yield
curve maintained a positive slope, allowing us to borrow at a lower rate than
where we invest. This continued to generate an income benefit to the holders of
Common Stock from the leveraging of Preferred Stock. However, should the spread
between short-term and long-term interest rates narrow, the benefits of
leveraging will decline and, as a result, reduce the yield on the Fund's Common
Stock. At the end of the period, the Fund's leverage amount, due to AMPS, was
35.57% of total net assets, before the deduction of Preferred Stock. (For a more
complete explanation of the benefits and risks of leveraging, see page 10 of
this report to shareholders.)

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

We remain focused on generating an attractive level of tax-exempt income for our
shareholders. The Fund ended the period fully invested and with an overall
neutral market posture, in keeping with our internal Investment Committee's
recommendation. After 16 consecutive interest rate hikes, the Fed may be near a
pause in its monetary tightening program. However, global economies and certain
pockets of the U.S. economy continue to show solid growth, leading us to believe
that it still may be early to become too aggressive. We believe a neutral
posture is prudent in the current environment and should provide for competitive
performance.

On a tactical basis, we recently started to look at opportunities back down the
yield curve in the 15-year - 20-year area, as opposed to the previously favored
25-year - 30-year range. We have found that we can move five years - 10 years
down the yield curve without sacrificing a significant amount of yield. Given
the degree of yield-curve flattening that has occurred over the course of the
Fed's rate-hiking campaign, we believe this maturity range could be ready to
outperform. As always, we will continue to monitor the economy, the Fed and the
municipal market, and stand ready to adjust our approach as needed.

A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers (concluded)

MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, the Common Stock of MuniYield
Quality Fund II, Inc. had net annualized yields of 5.51% and 5.85%, based on a
period-end per share net asset value of $13.25 and a per share market price of
$12.47, respectively, and $.362 per share income dividends. Over the same
period, the total investment return on the Fund's Common Stock was +2.11%, based
on a change in per share net asset value from $13.36 to $13.25, and assuming
reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, outpaced the +1.94% average
return of the Lipper Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category for the
six-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category invest primarily in municipal
debt issues insured as to timely payment. These funds can be leveraged via use
of debt, preferred equity and/or reverse repurchase agreements.)

Overall, the municipal market performed fairly well in this period of rising
interest rates. The yield curve continued to flatten as the long end rallied
slightly while the short end underperformed. Against this backdrop, Fund
performance benefited from our strategy of moving further out on the curve as
opportunities presented themselves. Also contributing to Fund results was our

was the drop in new issuance, especially fixed rate, longer-term issuance. This
decline in supply supported the performance of the municipal market, but also
meant there were fewer options for restructuring the portfolio. Notwithstanding
that fact, we were still able to take advantage of inter-period volatility,
using backups in market yields to selectively book tax losses (that is, taking
losses to offset any gains) and swap into other bonds in instances where we
thought it would be beneficial to the Fund. In addition, we sold some of the
portfolio's premium-coupon, short-call bonds into a strong market inquiry. Given
that there was an interested buyer in the market, we were able to sell the bonds
at very favorable prices. Generally speaking, we redeployed the proceeds from
the sale into bonds with maturities in the 25-year range and with coupons of
approximately 5%.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Stock (AMPS) had average yields of 3.12% for Series A, 3.33% for
Series B, 2.99% for Series C and 2.99% for Series D. The Fed raised the
short-term interest rate target 100 basis points during the six-month period
(and another 25 basis points on May 10), and this continued to affect the Fund's
borrowing costs. We would expect additional increases in the cost of funds to be
more limited as the Fed nears a pause in its monetary tightening campaign.
Despite the rate increases during the period, the tax-exempt yield curve
maintained a positive slope, allowing us to borrow at a lower rate than where we
invest. This continued to

generate an income benefit to the holders of Common Stock from the leveraging of
Preferred Stock. However, should the spread between short-term and long-term
interest rates narrow, the benefits of leveraging will decline and, as a result,
reduce the yield on the Fund's Common Stock. At the end of the period, the
Fund's leverage amount, due to AMPS, was 35.07% of total net assets, before the
deduction of Preferred Stock. (For a more complete explanation of the benefits
and risks of leveraging, see page 10 of this report to shareholders.)

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

We remain focused on generating an attractive level of tax-exempt income for our
shareholders. The Fund ended the period fully invested and with an overall
neutral market posture, in keeping with our internal Investment Committee's
recommendation. After 16 consecutive interest rate hikes, the Fed may be near a
pause in its monetary tightening program. However, global economies and certain
pockets of the U.S. economy continue to show solid growth, leading us to believe
that it still may be early to become too aggressive. We believe a neutral
posture is prudent in the current environment and should provide for competitive
performance.

On a tactical basis, we recently started to look at opportunities back down the
yield curve in the 15-year - 20-year area, as opposed to the previously favored
25-year - 30-year range. We have found that we can move five years - 10 years
down the yield curve without sacrificing a significant amount of yield. Given
the degree of yield-curve flattening that has occurred over the course of the
Fed's rate-hiking campaign, we believe this maturity range could be ready to
outperform. As always, we will continue to monitor the economy, the Fed and the
municipal market, and stand ready to adjust our approach as needed.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

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

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

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

As a part of their investment strategy, the Funds may invest in certain
securities whose potential income return is inversely related to changes in a
floating interest rate ("inverse floaters"). In general, income on inverse
floaters will decrease when short-term interest rates increase and increase when
short-term interest rates decrease. Investments in inverse floaters may be
characterized as derivative securities and may subject the Funds to the risks of
reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of invested principal. In
addition, inverse floaters have the effect of providing investment leverage and,
as a result, the market value of such securities will generally be more volatile
than that of fixed rate, tax-exempt securities. To the extent the Funds invest
in inverse floaters, the market value of each Fund's portfolio and the net asset
value of each Fund's shares may also be more volatile than if the Funds did not
invest in these securities. As of April 30, 2006, the percentages of MuniYield
Fund, Inc.'s, MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc.'s and MuniYield Quality Fund II,
Inc.'s total net assets invested in inverse floaters were 6.43%, 12.71% and
12.59%, respectively, before the deduction of Preferred Stock.

Swap Agreements

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

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

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

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

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

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

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

      Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.

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


36              SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS                 APRIL 30, 2006


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

      the Fund records a realized gain or loss in an amount equal to the value
      of the agreement.

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

(d) Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions are
recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates).
Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the
identified cost basis. 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.

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

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

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates:

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

FAM is responsible for the management of the Funds' portfolios and provides the
necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary
to the operations of the Funds. For such services, each Fund pays a monthly fee
at an annual rate of .50% of the Fund's average weekly net assets, including
proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock. The Investment Adviser has agreed
to reimburse its management fee by the amount of management fees each Fund pays
to FAM indirectly through its investment in Merrill Lynch Institutional
Tax-Exempt Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, FAM reimbursed each
Fund as follows:

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

For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the Funds reimbursed FAM for certain
accounting services. The reimbursements were as follows:

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

MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc. ............................             $ 5,025
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certain officers and/or directors of the Funds are officers and/or directors of
FAM, PSI, and/or ML & Co.

In February 2006, ML & Co. and BlackRock, Inc. entered into an agreement to
contribute ML & Co.'s investment management business, including FAM, to the
investment management business of BlackRock, Inc. The transaction is expected to
close in the third quarter of 2006.

Dividend Policy

The Funds' dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net
investment income to its share holders on a monthly basis. In order to provide
shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Funds may
at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in
any particular month and may at times in any month pay out such accumulated but
undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month.
As a result, the dividends paid by the Funds for any particular month may be
more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Funds during
such month. The Funds' current accumulated but undistributed net investment
income, if any, is disclosed in the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and
Capital, which comprises part of the Financial Information included in this
report.

performance results shown in these reports should not be considered a
