A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

Throughout the past year, investors were overwhelmed by lingering credit and financial market troubles, surging oil

prices and more recently, renewed inflation concerns. Healthy nonfinancial corporate profits and robust exporting

activity remained among the few bright spots, helping the economy to grow at a modest, but still positive, pace.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) has been aggressive in its attempts to stoke economic growth and ease

financial market instability. In addition to slashing the target federal funds rate 325 basis points (3.25%) between

September 2007 and April 2008, the central bank introduced the new Term Securities Lending Facility, granted broker-

dealers access to the discount window and used its own balance sheet to help negotiate the sale of Bear Stearns.

As widely anticipated, the end of the period saw a pause in Fed action, as the central bank held the target rate steady

at 2.0% amid rising inflationary pressures.

As the Fed’s bold response to the financial crisis helped ease credit turmoil and investor anxiety, U.S. equity markets

sank sharply over the last six months, notwithstanding a brief rally in the spring. International markets were not immune

to the tumult, with most regions also registering declines.

Treasury securities also traded in a volatile fashion, but generally rallied (yields fell as prices correspondingly rose), with

investors continuing to seek safety as part of a broader flight to quality. The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which fell

to 3.34% in March 2008, climbed up to the 4.20% range in mid-June as investors temporarily shifted out of Treasury

issues in favor of riskier assets (such as stocks and other high-quality fixed income sectors), then reversed course and

declined to 3.99% by period-end when credit fears re-emerged.

Tax-exempt issues eked out gains for the reporting period, but underperformed their taxable counterparts, as the group

continued to be pressured by problems among municipal bond insurers and the breakdown in the market for auction

rate securities.

The major benchmark indexes generated results that largely reflected heightened investor risk aversion:

Fund Summary

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
The Fund underperformed the MSCI Pacific Region Index and its
composite benchmark for the six-month period.

What factors influenced performance?
Detracting from performance over the six months were an overweight
position and stock selection in China, overweights in India and South
Korea and an underweight in Japan. Individual stocks that hindered
relative performance included Denway Motors Ltd., Dongfeng Motor
Group Co. Ltd., Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd., Reliance Industries Ltd. and
Natural Thermal Power Corp.

In contrast, Fund performance benefited from an underweight position
in Hong Kong and stock selection in both Australia and Singapore,
as well as its cash position, which averaged approximately 2.0% of
total net assets over the six months. On an individual-stock basis,
Mitsubishi Corp., Aioi Insurance Co., Ltd., Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical
Co., Inc., Tokio Marine Holdings Inc., and Rio Tinto Ltd. were among the
top-performing holdings.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
From a geographic perspective, we increased the Fund’s exposure to
Japan and Singapore, reduced exposure to India and Australia and
exited Malaysia during the semi-annual period.

At the stock level, we reduced the Fund’s holdings of Reliance Industries,
Mitsubishi Rayon, Natural Thermal Power Corp., Denway Motors and
Dongfeng Motor Group, and exited positions in Kookmin Bank, Hoya
Corp., Macquarie Capital Alliance Group, Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings

Bhd, Futaba Industrial Co., Ltd., Hisaka Works Ltd., Takuma Co., Ltd. and
Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd.

We initiated positions in BHP Billiton and Huaneng Power International,
Inc. and added to holdings of China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., Ube
Industries Ltd. and Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd.

Describe Fund positioning at period-end.
At the end of June, the Fund held 59% of its net assets in Japan, as
compared to the composite benchmark weighting of 68%. The next
largest holdings were in Hong Kong/China (10%), South Korea (6%),
Australia (5%), India (4%) and New Zealand (4%), followed by Singapore
(4%), Taiwan (4%) and Thailand (2%). Australia remained significantly
underweight, although investments in New Zealand, which is not part
of the benchmark, compensate for this somewhat. The Fund also was
considerably underweight in Taiwan, but well overweight in India and
South Korea.

The Fund had approximately 3% of its assets in cash and cash equiva-
lents at period-end and, from a sector perspective, maintained over-
weights in the Japanese chemical, insurance and healthcare sectors.
Because the Fund’s currency exposure is not hedged and its yen expo-
sure is less than that of its benchmark, the Fund would gain less than
its benchmark if the yen were to appreciate versus the U.S. dollar, but
suffer less than its benchmark if the yen were to depreciate versus the
U.S. dollar.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions.

  1 For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class (0.90% for Institutional, 1.12% for Investor A, 1.95% for Investor B, 1.87% for
Investor C and 1.61% for Class R), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period shown).
2 Hypothetical 5% annual return before expenses is calculated by pro-rating the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by 366.
See “Disclosure of Expenses” on page 6 for further information on how expenses were calculated.

About Fund Performance

Institutional Shares are not subject to any sales charge. Institutional
Shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available
only to eligible investors.

Investor A Shares incur a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load)
of 5.25% and a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee).

Investor B Shares are subject to a maximum contingent deferred sales
charge of 4.50% declining to 0% after six years. In addition, Investor B
Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year and a service
fee of 0.25% per year. These shares automatically convert to Investor A
Shares after approximately eight years. (There is no initial sales charge
for automatic share conversions.) All returns for periods greater than
eight years reflect this conversion.

Investor C Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% and a service
fee of 0.25% per year. In addition, Investor C Shares are subject to a 1%
contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within one year of purchase.

Class R Shares do not incur a maximum initial sales charge (front-end
load) or deferred sales charge. These shares are subject to a distribution
fee of 0.25% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. Class R
Shares are available only to certain retirement plans. Prior to inception,
Class R Share performance results are those of Institutional Shares
(which have no distribution or service fees) restated to reflect Class R
Share fees.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guar-
antee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the
performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain
performance data current to the most recent month-end. Performance
results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would
pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Fund
may charge a 2% redemption fee for sales or exchanges of shares within
30 days of purchase or exchange. Performance data does not reflect
this potential fee. Figures shown in the performance tables on page 5
assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. Investment return and
principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid to each
class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distri-
bution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are
deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of this Fund may incur the following charges: (a) expenses
related to transactions, including sales charges, redemption fees and
exchange fees; and (b) operating expenses including advisory fees, distri-
bution fees including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The expense
example on page 4 (which is based on a hypothetical investment of
$1,000 invested on January 1, 2008 and held through June 30, 2008)
is intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on
an investment in the Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar
costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The table provides information about actual account values and actual
expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the
period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value
by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding
to their share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During
the Period.”

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and
an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to
assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in this
Fund and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5%
hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.

The expenses shown in the table are intended to highlight shareholders’
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as
sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypotheti-
cal table is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help
shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different
funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses
would have been higher.

For Fund compliance purposes,the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any
one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund
management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which
may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.
Effective January 1,2008,the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional
disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used
in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including,but not limited to: quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks,
and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily
an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For
information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other
significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of June 30, 2008 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation    Investments in 
Inputs    Securities 

 
Level 1    $ 23,784,628 
Level 2    701,978,876 
Level 3

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Pacific Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a
non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s
financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting princi-
ples generally accepted in the United States of America, which may
require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results
may differ from these estimates. The Fund offers multiple classes of
shares. Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge and only
to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold with a
front-end sales charge. Investor B and Investor C Shares may be subject
to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class R Shares are sold only to
certain retirement plans. All classes of shares have identical voting, divi-
dend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions,
except that Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Class R Shares bear
certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares,
and Investor B, Investor C and Class R Shares also bear certain expenses
related to the distribution of such shares. Each class has exclusive
voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing
and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B shareholders may
vote on material changes to the Investor A distribution plan).

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

Valuation of Investments: Equity investments traded on a recognized
securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued
at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing
price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one
exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock
is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized
exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the
last available bid price. If no bid price is available, the prior day’s price
will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer
reflects the fair value of the security. Investments in open-end investment
companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term
securities are valued at amortized cost.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in
a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of
the market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by
a method approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) as reflecting
fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value
Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine
the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the
current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value deter-
minations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment

advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value
Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each
day at various times prior to the close of business on the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in comput-
ing the net assets of the Fund are determined as of such times. Foreign
currency exchange rates will generally be determined as of the close of
business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such
securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at
which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that
may not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net assets. If
events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a
natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materi-
ally affect the value of such securities, those securities will be valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the
investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved
by the Board.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are trans-
lated into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value
of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of
exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income
and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates
of such transactions.

The Fund reports foreign currency related transactions as components
of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such compo-
nents are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transac-
tions 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. Dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the
Fund has determined the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized
on the accrual basis. Income and realized and unrealized gains and
losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions of capital gains
are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment compa-
nies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its share-
holders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the
applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on inter-
est, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns.
No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of
limitations on the Fund’s tax returns remains open for the years ended
December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2006. The statutes of limita-
tions on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an
additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2008, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133” (“FAS 161”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years begin-
ning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial
reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure
that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses deriva-
tives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments
affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. The impact
of the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, are currently
being assessed.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to
that Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are
pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other
appropriate methods. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to
each class based on its relative net assets.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned sub-
sidiary of BlackRock, Inc. to provide investment advisory and administra-
tion services. Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC
Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) are principal owners of
BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of the Fund. For such
services, the Fund pays the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate
of 0.60%, of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets.

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

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Fund reimbursed the
Advisor $30,167 for certain accounting services, which is included in
accounting services in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund has entered into separate Distribution Agreements and
Distribution Plans with FAM Distributors, Inc. (“FAMD”) and BlackRock
Distributors, Inc. and its affiliates (“BDI”) (collectively, the “Distributor”).
FAMD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc., and BDI
is an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc.

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans adopted by the Fund in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Distributor
ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and
paid monthly at annual rates based upon the average daily net assets
of the shares as follows:

    Service    Distribution 
    Fee    Fee 

 
 
Investor A    0.25%     
Investor B    0.25%    0.75% 
Investor C    0.25%    0.75% 
Class R    0.25%    0.25% 

 
 

Pursuant to sub-agreements with the Distributor, broker-dealers, includ-
ing Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, and each of the Distributors,
provide shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Fund.
The ongoing service fee and/or distribution fee compensates the
Distributor and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing
and/or distribution-related services to Investor A, Investor B, Investor C
and Class R shareholders.

In addition, MLPF&S received $35,047 in commissions on the execution
of portfolio security transactions for the Fund for the six months ended
June 30, 2008.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the affiliates earned under-
writing discounts, direct commissions and dealer concessions on sales
of the Fund’s Investor A Shares, totaling $16,121, and the affiliates
received contingent deferred sales charges of $22,498 and $8,531
relating to transactions in Investor B and Investor C Shares, respectively.
Furthermore, affiliates received contingent deferred sales charges of
$493 relating to transactions subject to front-end sales charge waivers
in Investor A Shares. These amounts include payments to Hilliard Lyons,
which was considered an affiliate for a portion of the period.

20 BLACKROCK PACIFIC FUND, INC.

JUNE 30, 2008


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Pursuant to written agreements, certain affiliates provide certain Funds
with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other
administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For
these services, these affiliates receive an annual fee per shareholder
account which will vary depending on share class. For the period ended
June 30, 2008, the Fund paid $367,429 in return for these services.

PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., formerly PFPC Inc., an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Advisor,
is the Fund’s transfer agent. Each class of the Fund bears the costs
of transfer agent fees associated with such respective classes. Transfer
agency fees borne by each class of the Fund are comprised of those
fees charged for all shareholder communications including the mailing
of shareholder reports, dividend and distribution notices, and proxy
materials for shareholders meetings, as well as per account and per
transaction fees related to servicing and maintenance of shareholder
accounts, including the issuing, redeeming and transferring of shares of
each class of the Fund, 12b-1 fee calculation, check writing, anti-money
laundering services, and customer identification services.

The Advisor maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing
certain shareholder services to the Fund, such as responding to share-
holder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instructions
from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption of
Fund shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Fund
reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts for costs incurred running
the call center, which are a component of the transfer agent fees in the
accompanying Statement of Operations.

    Call Center 
    Fees 

 
Institutional    $5,628 
Investor A    $5,160 
Investor B    $ 744 
Investor C    $1,722 
Class R    $ 72 

 

Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers and/or directors
of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates.

3. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $36,607,893 and
$117,323,843, respectively.

4. Short-Term Borrowings:

The Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Advisor and its
affiliates, is party to a $500,000,000 credit agreement with a group of
lenders. The Fund may borrow under the credit agreement to fund share-
holder redemptions and for other lawful purposes other than for lever-
age. The Fund may borrow up to the maximum amount allowable under
the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information,
subject to various other legal, regulatory or contractual limits. On
November 21, 2007, the credit agreement was renewed for one year
under substantially the same terms. The Fund pays a commitment fee
of 0.06% per annum based on the Fund’s pro rata share of the unused
portion of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous in
the Statement of Operations. Amounts borrowed under the credit agree-
ment bear interest at a rate equal to, at each fund’s election, the federal
funds rate plus 0.35% or a base rate as defined in the credit agree-
ment. The Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement during the
six months ended June 30, 2008.

5. Geographic Concentration Risk:

The Fund invests from time to time a substantial amount of its assets
in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries.
When the Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes
the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries
may have a significant impact on its investment performance. Please see
the Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.

JUNE 30, 2008


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

The Board of Directors (the “Board,” the members of which are referred
to as “Directors”) of BlackRock Pacific Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) met in
person in April and June 2008 to consider the approval of the Fund’s
investment advisory agreement with its investment adviser, BlackRock
Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Board also
considered the approval of the subadvisory agreement with respect to
the Fund between the Adviser and BlackRock Investment Management,
LLC (the “Subadviser”) (the “Subadvisory Agreement”). The Adviser and
the Subadviser are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory
Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement are referred to herein as
the “Agreements.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

The Board of the Fund consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom
are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent
Directors”). The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the
operations of the Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the
directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent
Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in
connection with their duties. The Co-Chairs of the Board are both
Independent Directors. The Board established four standing committees:
an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a
Compliance Committee and a Performance Oversight Committee, each
of which is composed of, and chaired by, Independent Directors.

The Agreements

Upon the consummation of the combination of BlackRock’s investment
management business with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment man-
agement business, including Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L. . and
certain affiliates (the “Transaction”), the Fund entered into an Advisory
Agreement with the Adviser with an initial two-year term and the Adviser
entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with the Subadviser with an initial
two-year term. Consistent with the 1940 Act, prior to the expiration of
each Agreement’s initial two-year term, the Board is required to consider
the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection
with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature,
scope and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the personnel
of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management,
administrative services, shareholder services, oversight of fund account-
ing and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting legal and
regulatory requirements. The Board also received and assessed informa-
tion regarding the services provided to the Fund by certain unaffiliated
service providers.

Throughout the year, the Board, acting directly and through its commit-
tees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to its
annual consideration of the renewal of the Fund’s Agreements, including
the services and support provided to the Fund and its shareholders.
Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment perform-
ance for one, three and five years, as applicable, against peer funds, as
well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the
reasons for underperformance, if applicable; (b) fees, including advisory,
administration, if applicable, and other fees paid to BlackRock and its
affiliates by the Fund, such as transfer agency fees and fees for market-
ing and distribution; (c) Fund operating expenses; (d) the resources
devoted to and compliance reports relating to the Fund’s investment
objective, policies and restrictions, (e) the Fund’s compliance with its
Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature,
cost and character of non-investment management services provided by
BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’
internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting
guidelines approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions
and spread and execution quality; (j) valuation and liquidity procedures;
and (k) periodic overview of BlackRock’s business, including BlackRock’s
response to the increasing scale of its business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: Prior to the April 16, 2008 meeting at which
approval of the Agreements was to be considered, the Board requested
and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Board
is engaged in an ongoing process with BlackRock to continuously review
the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its
deliberations. These materials included (a) information independently
compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on the Fund’s fees and
expenses and the investment performance of the Fund as compared
with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (“Peers”); (b) infor-
mation on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and certain
affiliates, including their other relationships with the Fund, and a dis-
cussion of fall-out benefits; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock
concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as
institutional and closed-end funds under similar investment mandates,
as well as the performance of such other clients; (d) a report on eco-
nomies of scale; (e) sales and redemption data regarding the Fund’s
shares; and (f) an internal comparison of management fees classified
by Lipper, if applicable. At the April 16, 2008 meeting, the Board
requested and subsequently received from BlackRock (i) comprehensive
analysis of total expenses on a fund-by-fund basis; (ii) further analysis
of investment performance; (iii) further data regarding Fund profitability,
Fund size and Fund fee levels, and; and (iv) additional information on
sales and redemptions.

BLACKROCK PACIFIC FUND, INC.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the
approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates
relating to the distribution of Fund shares, services related to the valua-
tion and pricing of portfolio holdings of the Fund, allocation of Fund
brokerage fees (including the benefits of “soft dollars”), and direct and
indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship
with the Fund. The Board did not identify any particular information as
controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weights to
the various items considered.

At an in-person meeting held on April 16, 2008, the Board discussed
and considered the materials provided. As a result of the discussions,
the Board requested and BlackRock provided additional information, as
detailed above, in advance of the June 3 – 4, 2008 Board meeting. At
an in-person meeting held on June 3 – 4, 2008, the Fund’s Board,
including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continu-
ation of (a) the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Fund
for a one-year term ending June 30, 2009 and (b) the Subadvisory
Agreement between the Adviser and the Subadviser for a one-year term
ending June 30, 2009. The Board considered all factors it believed
relevant with respect to the Fund, including, among other factors: (i)
the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock;
(ii) the investment performance of the Fund and BlackRock portfolio
management; (iii) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and
profits to be realized by BlackRock and certain affiliates from the
relationship with the Fund; and (iv) economies of scale.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: The Board, including the
Independent Directors, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services
provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and
the resulting performance of the Fund. Throughout the year, the Board
compared the Fund’s performance — both including and excluding the
effects of the Fund’s fees and expenses — to the performance of a com-
parable group of mutual funds as classified by Lipper and the perform-
ance of at least one relevant index or combination of indices. The Board
met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for
investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The
Board also reviewed the materials provided by the Fund’s portfolio man-
agement team discussing Fund performance and the Fund’s investment
objective, strategies and outlook.

The Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and
experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally, and of the
Fund’s portfolio management team; BlackRock’s portfolio trading

capabilities; BlackRock’s use of technology; BlackRock’s commitment to
compliance; and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfo-
lio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.
The Board also reviewed BlackRock’s compensation structure with
respect to the portfolio management team of the Fund and BlackRock’s
ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.

In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of
the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to
the Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Fund with certain
administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addi-
tion to any such services provided to the Fund by third parties) and
officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the
Fund. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its
affiliates provide the Fund with other services, including (a) preparing
disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the statement of addi-
tional information and shareholder reports; (b) assisting with daily
accounting and pricing; (c) overseeing and coordinating the activities
of other service providers; (d) organizing Board meetings and preparing
the materials for such Board meetings; (e) providing legal and com-
pliance support; and (f) performing other administrative functions
necessary for the operation of the Fund, such as tax reporting and
fulfilling regulatory filing requirements. The Board reviewed the structure
and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and
compliance departments.

B. The Investment Performance of the Fund and BlackRock: The Board,
including the Independent Directors, also reviewed and considered the
performance history of the Fund. In preparation for the April 16, 2008
meeting, the Board was provided with reports, independently prepared
by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of the Fund’s per-
formance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis
of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed vari-
ous factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, the
Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment per-
formance of the Fund as compared to a representative group of similar
funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in the Fund’s applicable
Lipper category. The Board was provided with a description of the metho-
dology used by Lipper to select the peer funds. The Board regularly
reviews the performance of the Fund throughout the year. The Board
attaches more importance to performance over relatively long periods
of time, typically three to five years.

JUNE 30, 2008


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

The Board noted that the Fund’s investment performance during each of
the one-, three- and five-year periods was below the median for the
Peers, but that during each of these periods the Fund outperformed its
benchmark. BlackRock advised the Board that this performance differen-
tial was primarily attributable to differences in the Fund’s Japan weight-
ing, since the Fund was underweighted in Japan compared to its bench-
mark but more heavily weighted than its Peers and Japan’s performance
was relatively weak in 2006 and 2007. Subsequently, at a meeting held
on July 31, 2008, the Board approved a change in the Fund’s portfolio
management team to a team based in Asia and the adoption of a more
widely recognized benchmark that BlackRock believes is more represen-
tative of the current markets.

C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services
and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from the
Relationship with the Fund: The Board, including the Independent
Directors, reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates compared
with the other funds in its Lipper category. It also compared the Fund’s
total expenses to those of other comparable funds. The Board consid-
ered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other
types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately
managed institutional accounts.

The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s
financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided
the Fund. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that
detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock
and certain affiliates that provide services to the Fund. The Board
reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Fund and each
fund the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31,
2007 compared with to aggregated profitability data provided for the
year ended December 31, 2005.

In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to
the Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating
to the management and distribution of the fund and the other funds
advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board
reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the manage-
ment of the Fund and concluded that there was a reasonable basis for
the allocation. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the

financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality invest-
ment management personnel to perform its obligations under the
Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services
that are expected by the Board.

The Board noted that the Fund paid contractual advisory fees, prior to
any expense reimbursements, that were lower than or equal to the
median of its Peers.

D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Directors,
considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as
the assets of the Fund increase and whether there should be changes in
the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to partici-
pate in these economies of scale. The Board, including the Independent
Directors, considered whether the shareholders would benefit from
economies of scale and whether there was potential for future realization
of economies with respect to the Fund. The Board considered that the
funds in the BlackRock fund complex share common resources and, as
a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each
fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone
entity. The Board also considered the anticipated efficiencies in the
processes of BlackRock’s overall operations as it continues to add
personnel and commit capital to expand the scale of operations. The
Board found, based on its review of comparable funds, that the Fund’s
management fee is appropriate in light of the scale of the Fund.

E. Other Factors: The Board also took into account other ancillary or
“fall-out” benefits that BlackRock may derive from its relationship with
the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to
leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an
increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community,
and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to
the Fund, including for administrative, transfer agency and distribution
services. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use third party
research, obtained by soft dollars generated by transactions in the Fund,
to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other client accounts.

In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Board also
received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar
practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included
information on brokerage commissions and trade execution throughout
the year.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (concluded)

Conclusion

The Board approved the continuation of (a) the Advisory Agreement

between the Adviser and the Fund for a one-year term ending June 30,
2009 and (b) the Subadvisory Agreement between the Adviser and
the Subadviser for a one-year term ending June 30, 2009. Based
upon their evaluation of all these factors in their totality, the Board,
including the Independent Directors, was satisfied that the terms of the
Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the
Fund and the Fund’s shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve
the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of
factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together.
The Independent Directors were also assisted by the advice of inde-
pendent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee
arrangements for the Fund reflect the results of several years of review
by the Directors and predecessor Directors, and discussions between the
Directors (and predecessor Directors) and BlackRock (and predecessor
advisers). Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of
more attention in some years than in others, and the Directors’ conclu-
sions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrange-
ments in prior years.
