The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging


The Funds utilize leveraging to seek to enhance the yield and net asset
value of their Common Shares/Common Stock. However, these objectives cannot
be achieved in all interest rate environments. To leverage, the Funds issue
Preferred Shares/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
Shares/Stock, is paid to Common Shareholders/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 the Funds' Common Shares/
Stock. However, in order to benefit Common Shareholders/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
Shareholders/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 Shares/Stock
capitalization of $100 million and the issuance of Preferred Shares/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 Shares/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 Shareholders/Preferred Stock
shareholders are significantly lower than the income earned on the fund's
long-term investments, and therefore the Common Shareholders/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
Shares/Stock will be reduced or eliminated completely. At the same time,
the market value of the fund's Common Shares/Stock (that is, its price as
listed on the American Stock Exchange) may, as a result, decline.
Furthermore, if long-term interest rates rise, the Common Shares'/Stocks'
net asset value will reflect the full decline in the price of the portfolio's
investments, since the value of the fund's Preferred Shares/Stock does not
fluctuate. In addition to the decline in net asset value, the market value
of the fund's Common Shares/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, 2005, the percentages of MuniYield Arizona
Fund, Inc.'s, MuniYield California Fund, Inc.'s, MuniYield California
Insured Fund, Inc.'s, MuniYield Florida Fund's, MuniYield Michigan Insured
Fund II, Inc.'s and MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc.'s total net assets
invested in inverse floaters were 12.33%, 5.51%, 8.31%, 6.47%, 11.76% and
11.66%, respectively, before the deduction of Preferred Shares/Stock.



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



A Letter From the President


Dear Shareholder

Financial markets faced a number of crosscurrents over the past several
months, but most major benchmarks managed to post positive returns for the
annual and semi-annual reporting periods ended April 30, 2005:




Total Returns as of April 30, 2005                                     6-month        12-month
                                                                                
U.S. equities (Standard & Poor's 500 Index)                             +3.28%        + 6.34%
Small-cap U.S. equities (Russell 2000 Index)                            -0.15%        + 4.71%
International equities (MSCI Europe Australasia Far East Index)         +8.71%        +14.95%
Fixed income (Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index)                     +0.98%        + 5.26%
Tax-exempt fixed income (Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index)          +1.93%        + 6.81%
High yield bonds (Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Index)          +0.65%        + 6.92%


After expanding at an annualized rate of 4.4% in 2004, U.S. gross domestic
product growth for the first quarter of 2005 came in at an estimated 3.1%
(although that figure was later revised upward to 3.5%). Nevertheless, the
Federal Reserve Board continued increasing interest rates at a measured
pace to combat emergent inflation. The most recent hike came on May 3, and
brought the federal funds rate to 3%. Recently, signs of inflation have
taken the form of rising business costs and increasing consumer prices,
particularly in the areas of gasoline, healthcare, housing and education.

U.S. equities ended 2004 in a strong rally, but stumbled into negative
territory in 2005. The market weakness was largely fueled by the potential
for slowing economic and corporate earnings growth, renewed energy price
concerns and a lack of investor conviction. On the positive side, certain
sectors of the market have been performing well (particularly energy) and
corporate transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions, stock buy-backs
and dividend payouts, have all increased. International equities,
especially in Asia, have benefited from higher economic growth rates.

In the bond market, we witnessed a yield curve flattening trend over the
past several months as short-term yields increased and longer-term interest
rates remained more stable or fell. At the end of April 2005, the two-year
Treasury note yielded 3.66% and the 10-year Treasury note yielded 4.21%, a
difference of 55 basis points (.55%). This compared to a spread of 149 basis
points six months earlier and 222 basis points 12 months ago.

Looking ahead, the environment is likely to be a challenging one for
investors. With this in mind, we encourage you to meet with your financial
advisor to review your goals and asset allocation and to rebalance your
portfolio, as necessary, to ensure it remains aligned with your objectives
and risk tolerance. As always, we thank you for trusting Merrill Lynch
Investment Managers with your investment assets, and we look forward to
serving you in the months and years ahead.



Sincerely,



(Robert C. Doll, Jr.)

President and Director/Trustee



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers


We looked to security and sector selection as the drivers of Fund returns,
while remaining committed to our goals of preserving net asset value and
providing our shareholders with competitive yields.


Describe the recent market environment relative to municipal bonds.

Amid significant volatility, long-term bond yields moved lower over the
past six months as shorter-term rates increased. For all of 2004, real
gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annualized rate of 4.4%, well ahead
of 2003's annual rate of 3%. An advanced estimate of first quarter 2005 GDP
growth came in at an unexpectedly low 3.1%, although that figure was later
revised upward to 3.5%.

Nevertheless, it appeared that continued economic improvements were generally
disregarded as investors focused on inflationary trends, currency-related
demand for long-term U.S. securities, and interest rate action on the part
of the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed). Over the past six months, 30-year
Treasury bond yields declined 28 basis points (.28%) to 4.51%, while 10-year
Treasury note yields rose 16 basis points to 4.21%. The Fed, in the meantime,
continued to raise short-term interest rates at each of its meetings
throughout the period, and most recently rose the federal funds rate from
2.75% to 3% on May 3. As short-term interest rates increased while longer-
term interest rates fell, the yield curve continued to flatten.

Tax-exempt bond yields exhibited a similar pattern during the period. Yields
on 30-year revenue bonds, as measured by the Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index,
fell 14 basis points to 4.83%. According to Municipal Market Data, yields
on AAA-rated issues maturing in 30 years declined 23 basis points to 4.37%,
while AAA-rated bonds maturing in 10 years saw their yields rise 17 basis
points to 3.57%.

During the past six months, more than $186 billion in tax-exempt bonds was
underwritten, an increase of 7.5% versus the same period a year earlier.
Issuance so far in 2005 has been boosted by a 32% increase in refunding
issues as municipalities have sought to refinance existing higher-coupon debt.
These refunding issues have been heavily weighted in the 10-year - 20-year
maturity range to lower the overall interest costs. This concentration has
put pressure on intermediate tax-exempt bond yields while supporting
longer-term bond prices.

Investor demand for municipal product remained generally positive during
the period. Investment Company Institute statistics indicate that, year-to-
date through March 31, 2005, net new cash flows into long-term municipal
bond funds exceeded $1.3 billion. This represented a significant improvement
from the $516 million seen during the same period in 2004. However, AMG Data
Services reports that weekly figures for the month of April have shown a
modest reversal in the positive flows seen in the first three months of
the year.


MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc.

Describe conditions in the State of Arizona.

In March 2005, credit rating agency Moody's issued its first-ever issuer
rating on the State of Arizona, a measure that reflects the overall credit
quality of the state. Moody's rating of Aa3, with a stable outlook, was
based on Arizona's trend of economic growth and diversification, particularly
in high-technology manufacturing and tourism; a track record of reasonably
strong budgetary and financial management; and moderate state debt levels
that are coming under slight pressure from school construction needs.

Indicators for Arizona's fiscal year 2005 (which ends June 30, 2005) show
continued economic improvement in the state and increasing revenue
collections. Through March 2005, General Fund collections exceeded the
fiscal year-to-date forecast by $411.5 million and, after adjusting for one-
time revenues, were $835.5 million ahead of collections as of the same time
last year. The strong performance continues to be driven by growth in sales
taxes, a particularly favorable indicator of economic improvement, as well
as growth in individual and corporate income taxes. Other major economic
indicators - state job growth, the tourism barometer and the number of
families receiving public subsidies - also are showing signs of recovery.

Although the state's unemployment rate rose to 4.7% in March 2005 from 4.1%
in January 2005, the increase is attributed to a surge in the number of job
seekers rather than declining employment and still represents an
improvement from year-ago levels.



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Common Stock of
MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc. had net annualized yields of 6.25% and 6.23%,
based on a period-end per share net asset value of $14.90 and a per share
market price of $14.95, respectively, and $.462 per share income dividends.
Over the same period, the total investment return on the Fund's Common
Stock was +2.34%, based on a change in per share net asset value from
$15.04 to $14.90, and assuming reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund provided a positive total return for the period, despite our
maintaining a defensive market posture. That is, we were positioned for
rising interest rates, while long-term interest rates actually declined
over the past six months. Benefiting performance was the Fund's above-
average yield, which allowed us to continue providing a stable monthly
dividend to shareholders. The advance refunding of a sizable credit in the
portfolio also aided performance. When municipal bonds are refinanced ahead
of their maturity date, their prices generally increase sharply.

Hindering Fund returns during the period was our underexposure to longer-
maturity bonds. As the yield curve flattened over the past six months,
longer-maturity bonds significantly outperformed shorter-maturity issues.
While we have been pursuing a strategy of moving further out on the yield
curve, generally into the 25-year maturity range, we were not able to
effect this trade as much as we would have liked in the current low
interest rate environment. Because many of the shorter-maturity bonds
booked in the portfolio have greater yields than those available in the
current environment, we were reluctant to give them up in order to extend
our average portfolio maturity. Further compounding our inability to
purchase longer-dated bonds was the fact that recent supply has been
largely concentrated in the short-term and intermediate-term range.
Finally, the Fund experienced an extraordinary redemption of a holding
during the period. Working with our Municipal Research Group, we will be
looking to recommit these monies to the long end of the Arizona tax-exempt
market.

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 American 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.


What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

We did not significantly alter the Fund's structure or our strategy over
the past six months. We continued to selectively purchase higher-yielding
credits in an effort to enhance the Fund's yield. As in previous periods,
we continued to favor premium-coupon bonds, when available, and maturities
in the 20-year - 25-year range. This supports our defensive market posture,
in that these bonds offer coupon protection when interest rates move
higher. We generally maintained the Fund's fully invested position
throughout the period, seeking to enhance shareholder income.

As mentioned earlier, the major market phenomenon over the past six months
was a flattening of the yield curve. Yields on shorter-term bonds,
specifically those with maturities less than 15 years or 20 years, rose
rather significantly. Yields on longer-term bonds, generally those past the
20-year range, actually declined. Given that bond prices move in the
opposite direction of yields, the result has been that bonds on the long
end of the municipal yield curve performed well while short-term bonds
lagged. Thus, our strategy of targeting new purchases in the 25-year area
has been prudent.

Supply of new Arizona debt, while fairly regular, offered few bonds with
the maturities and yield characteristics we desired. Nevertheless, we were
able to take advantage of Puerto Rico-issued municipal debt during the
period as opportunities presented themselves.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Stock (AMPS) had an average yield of 1.61% for Series A and 1.66%
for Series B. At this point in the Fed's monetary tightening cycle,
interest rate increases are having a material impact on the Fund's
borrowing costs. The Fed raised the short-term interest rate target 100
basis points during the six-month period. Still, the tax-exempt yield curve
remained relatively steep and 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 31.22% of total net assets. (For a more
complete explanation of the benefits and risks of leveraging, see page 2 of
this report to shareholders.)



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers (continued)


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

We remain focused on premium-coupon bonds and continue to favor maturities
in the 25-year range. We maintained a slightly defensive market posture at
the close of the period in recognition of generally healthy economic
conditions. We believe this positioning prepares the Fund for relative
outperformance once long-term market rates eventually begin to follow short-
term rates higher. In the meantime, our fully invested stance should
continue to provide an income benefit to Common Stock shareholders.


MuniYield California Fund, Inc.

Describe conditions in the State of California.

California began 2005 facing a budget shortfall of approximately $8.6 billion.
In his January State of the State address, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
outlined steps to address the state's fiscal woes. These steps included new
debt in the form of additional "economic recovery" bonds and notes, tribal
gaming revenue bonds, a possible pension obligation bond, cutbacks in state
spending on local school districts and other nonspecific budget cuts. The
original 2005 budget passed by the state's legislature relied heavily on an
improving economy to generate sizable revenue improvements, but planned
spending cuts proved more difficult to enact.

During 2004, each of the three major rating agencies upgraded California's
long-term credit rating, recognizing that last year's budget was met
through a relatively aggressive borrowing program accomplished in a period
of attractive financing rates. However, the credit-rating upgrades were not
based on any significant progress in mending the underlying budget
problems.

Credit spreads for California general obligation debt have continued to
narrow, suggesting strong demand despite the lack of any increased fiscal
responsibility in the state. At the height of the state's budget troubles,
California general obligation bonds offered as much as 80 additional basis
points in income over comparable AAA-rated tax-exempt securities. By period-
end, that spread had narrowed to between 10 basis points and 20 basis
points. "Cushion securities" - higher-coupon, defensively structured bonds
that are popular when the market is anticipating higher interest rates -
were spread even tighter.


How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Common Stock of
MuniYield California Fund, Inc. had net annualized yields of 6.07% and
6.58%, based on a period-end per share net asset value of $15.06 and a per
share market price of $13.88, respectively, and $.453 per share income
dividends. Over the same period, the total investment return on the Fund's
Common Stock was +1.93%, based on a change in per share net asset value
from $15.27 to $15.06, and assuming reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, trailed its comparable
Lipper category of California Municipal Debt Funds, which had an average
return of +4.17% for the six-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category
invest primarily in municipal debt issues exempt from taxation in the State
of California.) The Fund's underperformance can be attributed in part to
having a lower degree of leverage than many of its peers, which detracted
from results as long-term interest rates declined significantly in
California in response to strong demand for the state's bonds. In addition,
the Fund was underweighted in bonds backed by tobacco company revenues, a
stance that hurt relative performance as credit spreads narrowed and these
lower-rated securities outperformed. Throughout the period, we continued to
emphasize a relatively high degree of credit quality and a below-average
duration, or sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Our short duration
benefited performance during periods when long-term interest rates rose,
such as in March, but hindered results as the overall trend during the
period was toward lower long-term interest rates.

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.



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

During the past six months, we emphasized a defensive market positioning,
keeping the Fund's duration below that of its peers. Although this strategy
had a negative impact on results as long-term interest rates fell early in
the period, it helped performance in March as the market experienced its
first sustained trend of rising long-term interest rates.

With yields on 10-year Treasury securities reaching as high as 4.68% during
the period, we began to take advantage of market weakness to move the
portfolio toward a more neutral duration stance - a process we expect to
continue if interest rates increase further. To increase the Fund's
duration, we bought some more aggressively structured bonds, including zero-
coupon bonds.

We kept the Fund's cash reserves at minimal levels (generally less than 1%)
throughout the period given the extraordinarily high demand relative to
supply in the short-term California tax-exempt marketplace. The Fund's
credit quality changed little during the period, with 84% of portfolio
assets rated AA or higher at period-end.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Stock (AMPS) had average yields as follows: 1.82% for Series A,
1.52% for Series B and 1.24% for Series C. At this point in the Fed's
monetary tightening cycle, interest rate increases are having a material
impact on the Fund's borrowing costs. The Fed raised the short-term
interest rate target 100 basis points during the six-month period. Still,
the tax-exempt yield curve remained relatively steep and 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 30.39%
of total net assets. (For a more complete explanation of the benefits and
risks of leveraging, see page 2 of this report to shareholders.)


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

The portfolio was defensively positioned at period-end, although we are
seeking opportunities to bolster the Fund's current yield and add to its
income stream. We will continue to monitor the economic landscape for
possible interest rate back-ups, which may present an opportunity to
increase the Fund's duration to neutral or possibly even an aggressive
stance.

Credit spreads for lower investment grade bonds have reached historically
tight ratios, which we believe makes it inadvisable to lower the
portfolio's credit profile in our search for higher yields. Accordingly, we
plan to maintain the Fund's high degree of credit quality.

California began 2005 facing a budget shortfall of approximately $8.6
billion. In his January State of the State address, Governor Arnold

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers (continued)


How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Common Stock of
MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc. had net annualized yields of 5.80%
and 6.35%, based on a period-end per share net asset value of $15.23 and a
per share market price of $13.91, respectively, and $.438 per share income
dividends. Over the same period, the total investment return on the Fund's
Common Stock was +3.24%, based on an unchanged per share net asset value of
$15.23, and assuming reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, modestly trailed its
comparable Lipper category of California Insured Municipal Debt Funds,
which had an average return of +3.36% for the six-month period. (Funds in
this Lipper category invest primarily in municipal debt issues exempt from
taxation in the State of California and insured as to timely payment.) The
Fund's performance during the period reflects a relatively high degree of
credit quality in the portfolio's asset mix and a below-average duration,
or level of interest rate sensitivity. Given our high-quality portfolio, we
did not have as much exposure as some of our peers to lower-quality issues,
which performed strongly as credit spreads continued to narrow. Likewise,
our relatively short duration, although it benefited performance in March
as long-term interest rates increased, hindered results during this
particular six-month period as the general trend in interest rates was
downward. Overall, however, the Fund continued to provide a competitive
yield while maintaining a high credit quality portfolio.

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.


What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

During the past six months, we emphasized a defensive market positioning,
keeping the Fund's duration below that of its peers. Although this strategy
had a negative impact on results as long-term interest rates fell early in
the period, it helped performance in March as the market experienced its
first sustained trend of rising long-term interest rates.

With yields on 10-year Treasury securities reaching as high as 4.68% during
the period, we began to take advantage of market weakness to move the
portfolio to a more neutral duration stance - a process we expect to
continue if rates increase further. To that end, we bought some more
aggressively structured bonds, including zero-coupon bonds, to increase the
Fund's duration. Toward the end of the period, we also engaged in selective
swap transactions designed to improve the portfolio's call structure and
relative liquidity. The Fund's already high credit quality improved during
the period, with nearly 94% of portfolio assets rated AAA with bond
insurance at period-end.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Stock (AMPS) had average yields as follows: 1.47% for Series A,
1.61% for Series B, 1.48% for Series C, 1.84% for Series D and 1.53% for
Series E. At this point in the Fed's monetary tightening cycle, interest
rate increases are having a material impact on the Fund's borrowing costs.
The Fed raised the short-term interest rate target 100 basis points during
the six-month period. Still, the tax-exempt yield curve remained relatively
steep and 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 30.53% of total net assets. (For a more complete explanation of
the benefits and risks of leveraging, see page 2 of this report to
shareholders.)


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

The Fund remained defensively positioned at period-end, although a move
toward neutral has already begun. We will continue to monitor the economic
landscape and take advantage of appropriate market conditions to increase
the Fund's duration to neutral or possibly even an aggressive stance.
Further moves in that direction will require weakness in the bond market,
allowing us to take advantage of the relatively attractive prices.



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



We are looking to bolster the Fund's current yield and add to its income
stream when opportunities present themselves. However, we are not inclined
to lower the portfolio's credit profile in search of higher yields, as
credit spreads for uninsured bonds have already reached historically tight
ratios. Accordingly, we plan to maintain the Fund's high degree of credit
quality and continue our emphasis of AAA-rated insured bonds.


MuniYield Florida Fund

Describe conditions in the State of Florida.

During the past several months, ratings agency Moody's increased Florida's
credit rating from AA2 to AA1, and Standard & Poor's increased its rating
from AA+ to AAA. At period-end, Fitch maintained a rating of AA. The
favorable ratings are based on the state's solid economic and financial
performance, in addition to moderate debt and a proactive government that
responds to economic downturns faster than other states.

Last year's hurricane season had little impact on the state's finances.
Florida's continued economic strength is bolstered by robust population
growth, which is attributed to its attractive physical environment and
favorable business climate. Although the growth in population has put a
strain on services such as education, transportation and healthcare, it
also has allowed the state to recover more quickly from sub par economic
trends.

Currently, the state's revenues are higher than budgeted and expenditures
remain under control due to prudent fiscal oversight. The fiscal year 2005
budget was brought into balance through tight expenditure controls,
including outsourcing work and requiring local governments to pick up costs
historically incurred by the state. To pay for these additional expenses,
municipalities imposed increases to property taxes and/or local sales taxes
through voter initiatives. Given the government's concerns over the high
healthcare costs facing the state - roughly $15 billion or 26% in the
upcoming budget - Governor Jeb Bush has proposed a partially private health
insurance plan. Florida continues to maintain sound and solid fund balances
with consistent General Fund operations. In addition, the state has a
working Capital Reserve Fund and a Budget Stabilization Fund in excess of
$1.8 billion.


How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Common Shares of
MuniYield Florida Fund had net annualized yields of 6.09% and 6.56%, based
on a period-end per share net asset value of $15.30 and a per share market
price of $14.20, respectively, and $.462 per share income dividends. Over
the same period, the total investment return on the Fund's Common Shares
was +3.49%, based on a change in per share net asset value from $15.27 to
$15.30, and assuming reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, outpaced the +3.23%
average return of the Lipper Florida Municipal Debt Funds category for the
six-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category limit their investment to
securities exempt from taxation in Florida or a city in Florida).
Contributing most to performance during the period was our yield curve
positioning. Essentially, we continued to focus on the longer end of the
curve, which significantly outperformed the short end as the yield curve
flattened and shorter-term bond prices suffered. Also benefiting
performance were the Fund's uninsured credits, which performed particularly
well during the period, especially our investments in the Florida hospital
sector. Finally, our commitment to an above-average coupon structure
ultimately contributed to returns.

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 Shares (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 Shares can 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 did not make any material changes to our strategy or to the portfolio's
structure over the past six months. Although the market was quite volatile,
ultimately, it moved very little from where we started the period. We
continued to focus on increasing the income provided to shareholders and
muting the Fund's net asset value volatility.



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers (continued)



To that end, we sought to sell bonds in the 10-year - 15-year maturity
range, although this proved more challenging in recent months as the yield
curve flattened and bonds in the intermediate range began to cheapen
relative to longer-dated securities. In making new purchases, we focused on
premium-coupon bonds in the 20-year - 30-year maturity range. Efforts on
this front also were somewhat limited, as few new issues met our desired
investment characteristics. While issuance of Florida municipal bonds
increased 29% versus the same six-month period a year ago, the majority of
the new issues offered maturities of only 15 years - 20 years and yields
below 5%. We were not inclined to give up bonds booked in the portfolio at
higher yields in order to take advantage of the new-issue calendar.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Shares (AMPS) had an average yield of 1.63% for Series A and
1.52% for Series B. At this point in the Fed's monetary tightening cycle,
interest rate increases are having a material impact on the Fund's
borrowing costs. The Fed raised the short-term interest rate target 100
basis points during the six-month period. Despite the recent Fed rate
increases, the tax-exempt yield curve has remained relatively steep and has
continued to generate an income benefit to the holders of Common Shares
from the leveraging of Preferred Shares. However, should the spread between
short-term and long-term interest rates narrow, the benefits of leverage
will decline and, as a result, reduce the yield on the Fund's Common
Shares. At the end of the period, the Fund's leverage amount, due to AMPS,
was 31.42% of total net assets. (For a complete explanation of the benefits
and risks of leveraging, see page 2 of this report to shareholders.)


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

We maintained a slightly defensive market posture at the close of the
period. The Fed is expected to continue its monetary tightening program,
which should eventually prompt long-term market rates to follow short-term
rates higher. We believe our defensive stance should ready the Fund for
relative outperformance under these circumstances.

As long as the municipal yield curve remains fairly steep, we will continue
in our efforts to sell the intermediate part of the curve and use periods
of volatility to pursue higher-coupon bonds whenever they are attractively
priced. We believe this strategy has served the Fund well against the
prevailing market and economic backdrop.


MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc.

Describe conditions in the State of Michigan.

At period-end, Michigan maintained credit ratings of Aa2, AA and AA from
Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, respectively, each with a stable
outlook. All three agencies downgraded the state during the period, citing
the troubled automotive sector and worse-than-expected revenue collection
estimates. However, Michigan's debt levels are quite low for a populous
state and provide it with valuable financial flexibility in responding to
economic downturns. Another positive is that the state's pension system is
well funded.

Michigan's 2004 fiscal year ended with a surplus exceeding $155 million,
all of which was used, along with money from spending cuts and the Medicaid
trust fund, to close a $375 million budget shortfall for fiscal year 2005.
The state's proposed 2006 budget eliminates a $770 million general fund
deficit mostly through spending cuts with some additional new taxes. The
budget relies very little on the use of one-time revenue sources that will
be unavailable in future years.

Michigan's economy continues to lag the national recovery as well as that
of other Great Lakes states. Employment in the state fell in 2004,
representing the fourth consecutive annual decline. The manufacturing
sector, led by the auto industry and General Motors Corp. in particular, is
responsible for the job losses, which have caused stagnant state revenue
growth. Without growth from other job sectors, Michigan could face
additional credit-rating downgrades. On the positive side, preliminary
February 2005 employment data showed an increase from a year earlier, and
the annual rate of job losses in Michigan has declined each year since
2001.


How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Common Stock of
MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc., had net annualized yields of
6.07% and 6.48%, based on a period-end per share net asset value of $15.04
and a per share market price of $14.10, respectively, and $.453 per share
income dividends. Over the same period, the total investment return on the
Fund's Common Stock was +2.08%, based on a change in per share net asset
value from $15.21 to $15.04, and assuming reinvestment of all
distributions.



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, trailed the +2.96%
average return of the Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds category for the
six-month period. (Funds in this Lipper category limit their investment to
securities exempt from taxation in Michigan or a city in Michigan.) This
Lipper category includes a number of funds that can purchase lower-rated,
uninsured bonds, which were among the market's best-performing securities
during the past six months. Given the Fund's more conservative investment
parameters, and overall higher credit quality, we were underweight in these
lower-rated issues, which contributed to relative underperformance during
the period. The Fund's defensive positioning during the first part of the
period also detracted somewhat from performance. As long-term interest
rates continued to decline during this time, the portfolio's relatively
conservative level of interest rate exposure detracted from results.

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.


What changes were made to the portfolio during the period?

During the past six months, Michigan municipalities issued $6.3 billion in
long-term tax-exempt securities, an increase of 47% compared to the same
six months a year earlier. Despite this increase in supply, overall
activity in the portfolio was limited by the fact that current market
yields are well below those provided by most of the Fund's holdings. The
sale of our existing, higher-yielding bonds would result in a decline in
the Fund's income stream - and, potentially, the eventual reduction of its
dividend. Also, most recent issuance in the state has been heavily weighted
in the 10-year - 20-year maturity range, in keeping with the national
supply pattern. We continued to avoid new purchases in this range because
of the unattractively low yield levels.

Over the course of the period, we increasingly positioned the portfolio to
be less defensive. A combination of factors - including the Fed's continued
program of short-term interest rate increases, moderating economic growth
expectations and declines in leading economic indicators - led us to
believe that the potential for significant interest rate increases later in
2005 and into 2006 was less than previously anticipated. Accordingly, we
sought to take advantage of periods of price volatility by adding to our
position in bonds with greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates. To
generate funds for these purchases, we sold prerefunded bonds with two-year
- five-year maturity dates, enabling us to lock in the significant market
appreciation these bonds have enjoyed while also moving closer to our
desired neutral portfolio positioning.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Fund's Auction Market
Preferred Stock (AMPS) had average yields of 1.64% for Series A and 1.62%
for Series B. At this point in the Fed's monetary tightening cycle,
interest rate increases are having a material impact on the Fund's
borrowing costs. The Fed raised the short-term interest rate target 100
basis points during the six-month period. Still, the tax-exempt yield curve
remained relatively steep and 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 32.94% of total net assets. (For a more
complete explanation of the benefits and risks of leveraging, see page 2 of
this report to shareholders.)


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

We ended the period in transition toward a more neutral market stance. We
are monitoring economic and market conditions and would need to see
additional evidence of slowing economic activity or financial stress - such
as the recent credit-rating downgrades of General Motors Corp. and Ford
Motor Co. - before enacting a more aggressive market strategy. In the
meantime, we intend to maintain the portfolio's fully invested stance in
order to enhance investment income and allow the Fund to continue to
generate an above-average dividend yield.



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



A Discussion With Your Funds' Portfolio Managers (concluded)


MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc.

Describe conditions in the State of New York.

The State of New York maintains credit ratings of A1, AA and AA- from
Moody's, Standard and Poor's (S&P) and Fitch, respectively. Moody's assigns
a positive outlook to the state's rating, reflecting an upgrade in
November, while Fitch and S&P carry stable outlooks. The state economy
continues to improve and revenue collections are increasing.

Recently, for the first time in more than 20 years, New York lawmakers
approved a budget on time. The fiscal year 2006 budget calls for $105
billion in spending and forecasts a 5% increase in tax receipts. Aided by
this revenue growth, the adopted budget includes the governor's original
proposals for closing an estimated $4 billion deficit. However, this does
not factor in a lawsuit recently won by the Campaign for Fiscal Equity that
could add up to $2 billion in annual state education spending. Crafting
balanced budgets beyond fiscal year 2006 will present a challenge given
political resistance to additional tax hikes and cuts in popular programs,
as well as pressure from local governments for pension and Medicaid relief,
and new education spending.

The economy produced good job growth in 2004, with total non-farm labor
increasing .5% from the prior year. This was the first annual gain since
2000. New York ranks fifth-highest among all states in per capita income.
Modest income growth during 2005 would boost personal income tax receipts,
roughly 38% of general fund receipts.


How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Common Stock of
MuniYield New York Insured Fund, Inc. had net annualized yields of 5.74%
and 6.40%, based on a period-end per share net asset value of $14.76 and a
per share market price of $13.23, respectively, and $.420 per share income
dividends. Over the same period, the total investment return on the Fund's
Common Stock was +2.91%, based on a change in per share net asset value
from $14.81 to $14.76, and assuming reinvestment of all distributions.

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, was five basis points
short of the +2.96% average return of the Lipper New York Insured Municipal
Debt Funds category for the six-month period. (Funds in this Lipper
category invest primarily in securities exempt from taxation in New York
and insured as to timely payment.) We continued to manage the Fund with a
focus on yield, and were successfully able to maintain the Fund's monthly
dividend distribution (whereas the majority of our competitors were forced
to cut their dividends). While enhancing income for shareholders, primarily
by retaining bonds booked in the portfolio at yields higher than those
available in the current market, we have seen some erosion in the Fund's
average duration. During the past six months, in a market characterized by
a flattening yield curve, this shortening of duration was a detriment to
total return. This is because shorter-maturity investments significantly
underperformed the longer end of the municipal market. As part of our
ongoing strategy, we continue to look for opportunities to add longer-dated
bonds with attractive yields to the portfolio.

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 continued to focus on generating attractive tax-exempt income for our
shareholders, essentially remaining fully invested throughout the period.
The Fund is permitted to invest up to 20% of net assets in uninsured bonds
and, working with the Municipal Research Group, we identified unenhanced
securities within our credit parameters that offer yields above those
available from AAA-rated insured paper. We believe purchases of these
securities should further enhance the Fund's strong income distribution.



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



Throughout the period, we had been looking to capitalize on the curve
flattening trend by moving into longer-dated securities as opportunities
presented themselves. Although issuance of New York bonds has been fairly
active, most of the new issues coming to market have been in the short to
intermediate maturity range. This, coupled with the market's low absolute
yields, somewhat limited our ability to affect this trade as much as we
would have liked. Doing so would have required us to give up bonds that,
although shorter in duration, were booked at higher yields. Thus, to
counteract the natural shortening of the portfolio's average duration, we
reduced our hedge positions to achieve a slightly defensive posture. Going
forward, we expect to look for more active trading opportunities, which
will allow us to move the portfolio to a more market-neutral stance.

The average yields for the Fund's Auction Market Preferred Stock (AMPS) for
the six months ended April 30, 2005, were: 1.79% for Series A, 1.51% for
Series B, 1.56% for Series C, 1.48% for Series D and 1.87% for Series E. At
this point in the Fed's monetary tightening cycle, interest rate increases
are having a material impact on the Fund's borrowing costs. The Fed raised
the short-term interest rate target 100 basis points during the six-month
period. Still, the tax-exempt yield curve remained relatively steep and
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 30.79%
of total net assets. (For a more complete explanation of the benefits and
risks of leveraging, see page 2 of this report to shareholders.)


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

After eight consecutive interest rate hikes, we believe the Fed is closer
to the end than the beginning of its monetary tightening program. Thus, it
would seem that the risk of significantly higher interest rates is somewhat
diminished. However, we do expect a considerable amount of volatility in
the financial markets in the near term given inflation concerns and
increasingly mixed economic releases. We expect that this could provide an
opportunity to approach a more neutral market stance.

We continue to maintain a fully invested portfolio, targeting bonds with
25-year - 30-year maturities. We are looking for opportunities to diversify
the portfolio, and recently accomplished that by adding bonds insured by
two relatively new names in the municipal market - XL Capital Assurance
(XLCA) and CIFG. Both are AAA-rated insurers and their bonds have
outperformed the broader market as their yield spreads narrowed compared to
more established insurers. We will continue to search for similar
opportunities to add yield and further diversify the portfolio.

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.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



Notes to Financial Statements


1. Significant Accounting Policies:
MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc., MuniYield California Fund, Inc., MuniYield
California Insured Fund, Inc., MuniYield Florida Fund, MuniYield Michigan
Insured Fund II, Inc. and MuniYield New York Insured Fund, 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 values of their Common Stock/Shares
on a daily basis. Common Stock/Shares are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol MYC for MuniYield California Fund, Inc., MCA for
MuniYield California Insured Fund, Inc., MYF for MuniYield Florida Fund,
MYM for MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund II, Inc. and MYN for MuniYield
New York Insured Fund, Inc. Common Stock is listed on the American Stock
Exchange under the symbol MZA for MuniYield Arizona Fund, 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/Trustees. Such
valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Board of
Directors/Trustees 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/Trustees of the Funds.

(b) Derivative financial instruments--Each Fund may engage in various
portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Fund and
to hedge, or protect, their 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.

* 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.

* 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).



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, APRIL 30, 2005



Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.

* 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, 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.


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 each Fund's portfolio and provides
the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services
necessary to the operations of the Fund. 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/Shares. For
the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Investment Adviser agreed to
reimburse its management fee by the amount of management fees each Fund
pays to FAM indirectly through its investment described below:

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 Net Assets, which comprises part of the financial
information included in these reports.
