A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

The present time may well be remembered as one of the most tumultuous periods in financial market history. Over the past year, the bursting of the hous-

ing bubble and the resultant credit crisis swelled into an all-out global financial market meltdown that featured the collapse of storied financial firms, vola-

tile swings in the world’s financial markets and monumental government responses designed to prop up the economy and stabilize the financial system.

The US economy appeared relatively resilient through the first half of 2008, when rising food and energy prices stoked fears of inflation. The tenor

changed dramatically in the second half, as inflationary pressure subsided amid plummeting oil prices, while economic pressures escalated in the

midst of a rapid deterioration in consumer spending, employment and other key indicators. By period-end, the National Bureau of Economic Research

had confirmed what most already knew — the United States was in a recession, which officially began in December 2007. The Federal Reserve Board

(the “Fed”), after slashing interest rates aggressively in the early months of the year, resumed that rate-cutting campaign in the fall, with the final reduc-

tion in December bringing the target federal funds rate to a record low range of between zero and 0.25% . Importantly, the central bank pledged that

future policy moves to revive the global economy and financial markets would comprise primarily of nontraditional and quantitative easing measures,

such as capital injections, lending programs and government guarantees.

Against this backdrop, US equity markets experienced intense volatility, with periods of downward pressure punctuated by sharp rebounds. Declines

were significant and broad-based, though smaller cap stocks posted somewhat better relative performance. Non-US stocks started off the year stronger,

but quickly lost ground as the credit crisis revealed itself to be global in nature and as the global economy turned south. Overall, domestic equities

notched better results than non-US equities, reversing the prior years’ trend of international equity outperformance.

In fixed income markets, investors shunned risky assets and sought the safety and liquidity of US Treasury issues. Prices soared, while yields fell to

record lows, with the Treasury sector topping all other asset classes over the reporting period. Amid spillover from historic events in the financial sector,

municipals contended with fewer market participants, lack of liquidity, a challenging funding environment and a backlog of new-issue supply, all of

which contributed to the sector’s underperformance relative to taxable issues. At the same time, economic turmoil combined with dislocated credit

markets and substantial technical pressures resulted in the worst year on record for the high yield market.

In all, an investor flight to safety prevailed, as evidenced in the six- and 12-month returns of the major benchmark indexes:

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2008 BlackRock International Diversification Fund

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
The Fund outperformed the benchmark Morgan Stanley Capital Interna-
tional (“MSCI”) EAFE Index for the period since inception (September 26,
2008) through December 31, 2008. The final two months of the year
were the strongest for the Fund.
The Fund’s investment goal is to seek long-term capital appreciation. In
pursuit of this objective, under normal market conditions, the Fund will
invest substantially all of its assets in BlackRock international equity
mutual funds, called the “underlying funds,” and may, on an opportunis-
tic basis, invest up to 15% of its assets in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
What factors influenced performance?
2008 turned out to be a year investors would like to forget, but instead
will vividly remember. For much of the first half of the year, equity markets
held together as the hope of global decoupling (meaning that some mar-
kets could be insulated from the effects of the US-centered economic and
credit problems) kept investors from panicking. The seminal event appears
to have been Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy declaration in September,
which drove fear higher and confidence lower, while causing a massive
decline in economic activity in the United States and around the world.
In a stark reversal of prior years’ trends, non-US markets noticeably
underperformed their US counterparts for the 12-month period, with the
MSCI EAFE Index losing 43.4% versus the 37.0% decline of the S&P 500
Index. Non-US stocks started off the year stronger, but quickly lost ground

as the credit crisis revealed itself to be global in nature and as the world-
wide economy turned south. European stocks declined sharply in the sec-
ond half of the year, and for 2008 as a whole, UK markets lost 31.0%
and markets in Continental Europe were off more than 40%. In Japan, the
Nikkei 225 fell 40.1% . In one of the headline stories of 2008, the decou-
pling theory was put to rest as emerging markets failed to hold up amid
the global downturn. Key markets in China and Russia lost more than
60% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as a whole was down 53.3% .
Against this backdrop, performance by the Fund’s underlying mana-
gers was generally positive for the period, particularly in the month of
December. This was slightly offset by a few regional allocation decisions.
Exposure to Japanese and Pacific region-specific mandates was the
main source of positive contribution. This contribution was offset by
weak performance of our European mandate.
Describe recent Fund activity.
Over the course of the period, we replaced a portion of our Pacific
regional-specific mandate with exposure to a Japanese index strategy.
We also shifted a portion of the assets from our all-cap international
strategy into our international large cap value strategy.
Describe Fund positioning at period end.
At the end of the period, the Fund held regional overweights in emerging
Asia and emerging Latin America. The largest regional underweights were
in Japan, the United Kingdom and Asia excluding Japan.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2008 BlackRock Pacific Fund, Inc.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
Effective September 1, 2008, the portfolio management team changed
for the Fund. As part of the transition, the Fund’s benchmark was
changed from the MSCI Pacific Region Index to the MSCI All Country
Asia Pacific Index, which more accurately reflects the universe of securi-
ties in which the Fund will now invest.

The Fund posted a negative return for the 12-month period, but outper-
formed the benchmark MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index and its Lipper
Pacific Region Funds category average. The Fund’s Institutional and
Investor A Shares outpaced the MSCI Pacific Region Index and its com-
posite benchmark, while Investor B, Investor C and Class R shares lagged
the MSCI Pacific Region Index and composite benchmark.

What factors influenced performance?
The Fund’s outperformance was driven mainly by strong stock selection,
particularly in the Australian and Japanese markets. Notably, an under-
weight in Hong Kong had a positive effect on performance as the
region’s market endured its weakest year in over three decades. On a
sector basis, in such volatile markets, the Fund’s overweight position in
telecommunication services and healthcare stocks boosted relative per-
formance, as did its underweight in financials.

Detracting from performance over the course of the year was the Fund’s
overweight position in China. However, this position was beneficial in the

fourth quarter when the Chinese government’s stimulus package provid-
ed some market support. The Fund’s underweight in the utilities sector
hindered performance, as did stock selection within industrials.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund underwent significant changes during the year, largely due to
the transition to the new management team and the change in bench-
mark. The new benchmark saw significant changes in weightings, with
the allocation to Japan reduced in favor of an increased allocation to
other Asian markets, particularly China. This has resulted in a more bal-
anced Fund, which is better able to take advantage of the opportunities
that the region provides.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.
The Fund was overweight in Japan at the end of December, with a
holding of about 55.4% . The Fund is also slightly overweight within the
Australian and Singaporean markets. Its significant underweight is in
Korea, where the short-term outlook remains bleak in the face of waning
global demand for its exports.

At a sector level, the Fund remains defensively positioned, with an over-
weight in both healthcare and telecommunication services, though it is
becoming less so through the selective addition of more cyclical stocks
at reasonable valuations.

6 ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2008


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 (for BlackRock Pacific Fund, Inc.) 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. For the BlackRock
Pacific Fund, Inc., 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 Funds
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 pages 4
and 6 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 each 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,
distribution fees including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The
expense examples on pages 4 and 5 (which are based on a hypothetical
investment of $1,000 invested on September 26, 2008 for BlackRock
International Diversification Fund and July 1, 2008 for BlackRock Pacific
Fund, Inc. and held through December 31, 2008) are intended to assist
shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in
the Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of invest-
ing in other mutual funds.

The tables provide 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 tables also provide information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 these Funds 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 tables 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 examples are 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.

Derivative Instruments

Pacific Fund may invest in various derivative instruments, including
forward currency contracts, and other instruments specified in the Notes
to Financial Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage.
Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning
or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest
rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect
correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underly-
ing asset, possible default of the other party to the transaction and illiq-
uidity of the derivative instrument. The Fund’s ability to successfully use a

derivative instrument depends on the Advisor’s ability to accurately predict
pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of deriva-
tive instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been
used, may require the Fund to sell or purchase portfolio securities at
inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may
limit the amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment
or may cause the Fund to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. The
Fund’s investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the
Notes to Financial Statements.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”), clarifies the defini-
tion 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 indi-
cation 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock International Diversification Fund (“International
Diversification Fund”), a part of BlackRock Funds,SM and BlackRock
Pacific Fund, Inc. (“Pacific Fund”) (each individually, the “Fund” or
together the “Funds”) are registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as non-diversified, open-end
management investment companies. International Diversification Fund
is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Pacific Fund is organized
as a Maryland corporation. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, which may require the use of management accruals
and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Inter-
national Diversification Fund commenced operations on September 26,
2008. The Funds offer 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 retire-
ment plans. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liqui-
dation 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 servic-
ing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B shareholders
may vote on material changes to the Investor A distribution plan).
International Diversification Fund generally will invest in other open-end
investment companies (mutual funds) that are managed by subsidiaries
of BlackRock, Inc. (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). By owning
shares of the Underlying Fund, the Fund indirectly invests, to varying
degrees, in securities of US and non-US companies, including small and
medium sized companies, and in fixed-income securities. Equity funds
may also include funds that invest in real estate-related and other simi-
lar securities, as well as commodities. Fixed income funds may include
funds that invest in domestic and non-US bonds, US Government securi-
ties, high yield (or junk) bonds, and cash or money market instruments.
In addition, the Underlying Funds may invest in derivatives.

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

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. Short-term securities with maturities
less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at
net asset value each business day. Each Fund values its investments
in Cash Sweep Series and Money Market Series, each of the BlackRock
Liquidity Series, LLC, at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon their
pro-rata ownership in the net assets of the underlying fund.

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 Trustees for International
Diversification Fund and by the Board of Directors for Pacific Fund
(individually the “Board” or together the “Boards”) 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 Funds might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale
of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations
shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor
and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets
is subsequently reported to the respective 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 each 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 each 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 invest-
ment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the
Board. Foreign currency exchange contracts and forward foreign currency
exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask
prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date as of
the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Funds may engage in various port-
folio investment strategies both to increase the returns of the Funds and
to hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements and
movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of
the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the
underlying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract.

20 ANNUAL REPORT

DECEMBER 31, 2008


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Forward currency contracts — A forward currency contract is an
agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set
exchange rate on a future date. The Fund may enter into foreign
currency exchange contracts as a hedge against either specific trans-
actions or portfolio positions. Foreign currency exchange contracts,
when used by the Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the
foreign currency backing some of the investments held by the Fund.
The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market
value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When
the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal
to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency
contracts involves the risk that counterparties may not meet the
terms of the agreement and market risk of unanticipated movements
in the value of a foreign currency relative to the US dollar.

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 Funds report 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.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and
the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) require that each Fund segregates assets in connection with
certain investments (e.g., forward foreign currency contracts) each Fund
will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, desig-
nate on their books and records cash or other liquid securities having a
market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be
required to be physically segregated.

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 a
Fund has determined the ex-dividend date. Upon notification from
issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate invest-
ment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related
investment and/or realized gain. 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.

Securities Lending: Pacific Fund may lend securities to financial institu-
tions that provide cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the United
States government as collateral, which will be maintained at all times

in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the
loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is deter-
mined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund
typically receives the income on the loaned securities but does not
receive the income on the collateral. Where the Fund receives cash col-
lateral, it may invest such collateral and retain the amount earned on
such investment, net of any amount rebated to the borrower. The Fund
may receive a flat fee for its loans. Loans of securities are terminable
at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed
securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities
transactions. The Fund may pay reasonable lending agent, administrative
and custodial fees in connection with its loans. In the event that the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because
of insolvency or for any other reason, the Fund could experience delays
and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund also could suffer
a loss where the value of the invested collateral falls below the market
value of the borrowed securities either in the event of borrower default or
in the event of losses on investments made with cash collateral. For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund received only cash collateral
for any securities loaned.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by
the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

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

Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns.
No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of
limitations on Pacific Fund’s US federal tax returns remains open for the
years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2007. The
statutes of limitations on Pacific Fund’s state and local tax returns may
remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Organization and Offering Costs: Upon commencement of operations,
organization costs associated with the establishment of International
Diversification were expensed by the Fund and reimbursed by the
Advisor. Offering costs are amortized over a 12-month period beginning
with the commencement of operations of the Fund. The Advisor reim-
bursed the Fund $48,764, which is shown as fees reimbursed by the
advisor in the Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In March 2008, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB State-
ment No. 133” (“FAS 161”), was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve
financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2008 21


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity
uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative
instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the
Funds’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Bank overdraft: International Diversification Fund recorded a bank over-
draft which resulted from estimates of available cash.

Other: Expenses directly related to each 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 Funds are allocated
daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The Funds have entered into Investment Advisory Agreements with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned
subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and admin-
istration services. Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC
Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) are the largest stockholders of
BlackRock, Inc. As of December 31, 2008, Merrill Lynch and PNC are
affiliates of BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Funds’ portfolio and
provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other
services necessary to the operations of the Funds. For such services,
Pacific 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. The Advisor will not
receive an investment advisory fee for International Diversification Fund.

On behalf of Pacific Fund, the Advisor has entered into a separate
sub-advisory agreement 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 invest-
ment advisory fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor.

On behalf of International Diversification Fund, the Advisor has entered
into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial
Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor. BFM will not
receive any sub-advisory fees from the Fund for its sub-advisory services.

With respect to the International Diversification Fund, State Street Bank
and Trust Company (“State Street”) and the Advisor act as co-administra-
tors for the Fund. For these services, the co-administrators receive a
combined administration fee computed daily and payable monthly, at an
aggregate annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In
addition, State Street and the Advisor may, at their discretion, voluntarily
waive all or any portion of their administration fees for the Fund.

With respect to the International Diversification Fund, the Advisor has
contractually agreed to waive or reimburse fees or expenses (excluding
interest expense, acquired fund (underlying fund) fees and expenses
and certain other Fund expenses) in order to limit Fund expenses until
February 1, 2009. The current expense limitations as a percentage of
net assets are as follows: 0.20% for Institutional Shares, 0.45% for
Investor A Shares, 1.20% for Investor C Shares and 0.70% for Class R
Shares. The expense waiver or reimbursement applies to direct Fund
expenses only, not expenses attributable to investments in underlying
funds. The Fund may have to repay some of these waivers and reim-
bursements to the Advisor in the following two years.

If within two years following a waiver or reimbursement, the operating
expenses of a share class that previously received a waiver or reimburse-
ment from the Advisor are less than the expense limit for that share class,
the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed by such share class up to the
amount of fees waived or expenses reimbursed under the agreement if:
(1) the Fund has more than $50 million in assets, (2) the Advisor or an
affiliate continues to be the Fund’s investment advisor or administrator
and (3) the Board has approved in advance the payments to the Advisor
at the previous quarterly meeting.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Pacific Fund reimbursed the
Advisor $12,363 for certain accounting services, which is included in
accounting services in the Statements of Operations.

Effective October 1, 2008, each Fund has entered into a Distribution
Agreement and Distribution Plans with BlackRock Investments, Inc.
(“BII”), which replaced FAM Distributors, Inc. (“FAMD”) for Pacific Fund
and BlackRock Distributors, Inc. and its affiliates (“BDI”) for the Funds
(collectively, the “Distributor”) as sole distributor of the Funds. FAMD is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc. BII and BDI are
affiliates of BlackRock, Inc. The service and distribution fees did not
change as a result of this transaction.

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans adopted by the Funds in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each 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:

           International        Pacific 
     Diversification Fund        Fund 
 
    Service    Distribution    Service    Distribution 
    Fee    Fee    Fee    Fee 
Investor A    0.25%        0.25%     
Investor B            0.25%    0.75% 
Investor C    0.25%    0.75%    0.25%    0.75% 
Class R    0.25%    0.25%    0.25%    0.25% 

Pursuant to sub-agreements with the Distributor, broker-dealers, including
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, and the Distributor provide shareholder

22 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

servicing and distribution services to each Fund. The ongoing service fee
and/or distribution fee compensates the Distributor and each broker-
dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution-related ser-
vices to Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Class R shareholders.

For the year ended December 31, 2008 for Pacific Fund, the Distributor
earned underwriting discounts, direct commissions and dealer conces-
sions on sales of the Fund’s Investor A Shares, totaling $41,485. For the
year ended December 31, 2008, affiliates received contingent deferred
sales charges of $53,591 and $19,322 relating to transactions in
Investor B and Investor C Shares, respectively. Furthermore, affiliates
received contingent deferred sales charges of $2,473 relating to trans-
actions subject to front-end sales charge waivers in Investor A Shares.

For the period September 26, 2008 to December 31, 2008 for
International Diversification Fund, no underwriting discounts, direct com-
missions, dealer concessions or contingent deferred sales charges were
paid to the Distributor or affiliates.

Pacific Fund has received an exemptive order from the Securities and
Exchange Commission permitting it to lend portfolio securities to
MLPF&S, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, or its affiliates.
Pursuant to that order, the Fund has retained BIM as the securities lend-
ing agent for a fee based on a share of the returns on investment of
cash collateral. BIM may, on behalf of the Fund, invest cash collateral
received by the Fund for such loans, among other things, in a private
investment company managed by the Advisor or its affiliates. The share
of income earned by the Fund in such investments is shown as securi-
ties lending — affiliated on the Statement of Operations. For the year
ended December 31, 2008, BIM received $155 in securities lending
agent fees from Pacific Fund.

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 Funds’ transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. Each class
of the Funds bears the costs of transfer agent fees associated with
such respective classes. Transfer agency fees borne by each class of the
Funds are comprised of those fees charged for all shareholder communi-
cations including mailing of shareholder reports, dividend and distribu-
tion notices, and proxy materials for shareholders meetings, as well as
per account and per transaction fees related to servicing and mainte-
nance of shareholder accounts, including the issuing, redeeming and
transferring of shares of each class of the Funds, 12b-1 fee calculation,
check writing, anti-money laundering services, and customer identifica-
tion services.

Pursuant to written agreements, certain affiliates provide the Funds with
sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other admini-
strative 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 September 26,
2008 to December 31, 2008, no fees were paid by the International

Diversification Fund in return for these services. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, Pacific Fund paid $732,193 in return for
these services.

The Funds may earn income on positive cash balances in demand
deposit accounts that are maintained by the transfer agent on behalf
of the Funds. For the year ended December 31, 2008, Pacific Fund
earned $1,484, which is included in income — affiliated in the State-
ments of Operations. International Diversification earned no income
on these balances for the period ended December 31, 2008.

The Advisor maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing
certain shareholder services to the Funds, 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 year ended December 31, 2008, Pacific 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 Statements of Operations.

Pacific Fund    Call Center Fees 
Institutional    $8,449 
Investor A    $8,052 
Investor B    $ 950 
Investor C    $2,654 
Class R    $ 123 

International Diversification Fund had no costs relating to the call center
for the period September 26, 2008 to December 31, 2008.

In addition, MLPF&S received commissions of $196,345 from Pacific
Fund on the execution of portfolio security transactions for the year
ended December 31, 2008.

Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreements, custodian fees may
be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances
(“custody credits”), which are shown on the Statements of Operations
as fees paid indirectly.

Certain officers and/or directors/trustees of the Funds are officers and/
or directors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. Each Fund reimburses the
Advisor for compensation paid to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.

3. Investments:

4. Short-Term Borrowings:

The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Advisor
and its affiliates, are party to a $500,000,000 credit agreement with a
group of lenders, which expired November 2008 and was subsequently
renewed until November 2009. The Funds may borrow under the credit
agreement to fund shareholder redemptions and for other lawful pur-
poses other than for leverage. The Funds 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. Each Fund paid its pro rata share of 0.02% upfront
fee on the aggregate commitment amount based on its net assets as of
October 31, 2008. The Funds pay a commitment fee of 0.08% per
annum based on the Funds’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the
credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous in the Statements
of Operations. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement bear
interest at a rate equal to the higher of the (a) federal funds effective
rate and (b) reserve adjusted one month LIBOR plus, in each case, the
higher of (i) 1.50% and (ii) 50% of the CDX Index (as defined in the
credit agreement) in effect from time to time. The Funds did not borrow
under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2008.

5. Income Tax Information:

Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America require that certain components of net assets
be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax
reporting. The following permanent differences as of December 31, 2008
attributable to the classification of income, non-deductible expenses,
foreign currency transactions and gains from the sale of stock of passive
foreign investment companies were reclassified to the following accounts:

    International     
    Diversification    Pacific 
    Fund    Fund 
Paid in capital in excess of par    $ (140)     
Undistributed (distributions in excess of)         
   net investment income    $ 140    $ 29,064,845 
Accumulated net realized gain (loss)        $ (29,064,845) 

International Diversification Fund

The tax character of distributions paid during the period September 26,
2008 to December 31, 2008 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:     
Ordinary income    $ 8,026 
Total taxable distributions    $ 8,026 

Pacific Fund

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was as follows:

    12/31/08    12/31/07 
Distributions paid from:         
   Ordinary income    $ 4,000,028    $ 10,117,583 
   Long-term capital gain    87,394,278    103,698,488 
Total taxable distributions    $ 91,394,306    $113,816,071 

As of December 31, 2008, the components of accumulated losses on a
tax basis were as follows:

    International     
    Diversification    Pacific 
    Fund    Fund 
Undistributed ordinary net income    $ 139    $ 874,349 
Capital loss carryforward    (11,579)     
Net unrealized losses*    (118,762)    (24,678,959) 
Total accumulated net losses    $ (130,202)    $ (23,804,610) 

* The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses is attrib-
utable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax deferral of
losses on straddles, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses)
in passive foreign investment companies and the deferral of post-October capital
losses for tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2008, the Funds had a capital loss carryforward
available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated
expiration dates:

    International     
    Diversification    Pacific 
    Fund    Fund 
Expires December 31, 2016    $ 11,579     

6. Geographic Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and
enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market
(market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all of its obliga-
tions (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline
in response to certain events, including those directly involving the com-
panies whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting
the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global
political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate
and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed
to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have
unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which
potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist
principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent
of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to
these financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in the
Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors/Trustees
of BlackRock International Diversification Fund and
BlackRock Pacific Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”):

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of BlackRock International
Diversification Fund as of December 31, 2008, and the related state-
ments of operations and changes in net assets, and the financial high-
lights for the period September 26, 2008 (commencement of operations)
through December 31, 2008. We have also audited the accompanying
statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments,
of BlackRock Pacific Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the re-
lated statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements
of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period
then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assur-
ance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights
are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of express-
ing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over

financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by man-
agement, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presen-
tation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
BlackRock International Diversification Fund as of December 31, 2008,
the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the finan-
cial highlights for the period September 26, 2008 (commencement
of operations) through December 31, 2008, in conformity with account-
ing principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Additionally, in our opinion, the financial statements and financial high-
lights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the finan-
cial position of BlackRock Pacific Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2008,
the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

DECEMBER 31, 2008


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements

The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the members of which are referred
to as “Trustees”) of BlackRock Funds (the “Fund”) met on June 3 – 4,
2008 to consider the approval of the proposed investment advisory
agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between BlackRock Advisors,
LLC (the “Advisor”), the Fund’s investment adviser, and the Fund on
behalf of International Diversification Fund (the “Portfolio”), a series
of the Fund. The Board also considered the approval of the proposed
subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) with respect to
the Portfolio between the Advisor and BlackRock Financial Management,
Inc. (the “Subadvisor”). The Portfolio, which commenced operations in
September 2008, invests substantially all of its assets in BlackRock
international equity mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). The Advisor
and the Subadvisor 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 consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom are not
“interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”).
The Trustees are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the
Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of invest-
ment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have re-
tained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with
their duties. The Co-Chairs of the Board are both Independent Trustees.
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 Independent Trustees (except that the Performance Oversight Com-
mittee has one interested Trustee member) and chaired by Indepen-
dent Trustees.

The Agreements

Throughout the year, in connection with its oversight of other portfolios
of the Fund, the Board, acting directly and through its committees,
considered at each of its meetings factors that were relevant to its
consideration of the Agreements, including the services and support pro-
vided to the Fund and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board
typically considered were: (a) the nature, cost and character of non-
investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affili-
ates; (b) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls;
(c) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting guidelines approved
by the Board; (d) valuation and liquidity procedures; and (e) 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. At an in-person meeting held on June 3 – 4,
2008, the Board reviewed materials relating to the organization of the
Portfolio and the Board’s consideration of the Agreements. The Board
considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to the Portfolio,
including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the
services to be provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of
BlackRock portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the estimated
cost of services; (d) potential economies of scale; and (e) other factors.

In determining to approve the Agreements, the Board met with the rele-
vant investment advisory personnel from BlackRock and considered all
information they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms
of the Agreements. The Board received materials in advance of the June
2008 meeting relating to its consideration of the Agreements, including:
(i) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc.
(“Lipper”) on Portfolio fees and pro forma expenses in comparison to
the fees and expense ratios of a peer group of funds as determined
by Lipper (“Peers”); (ii) information regarding BlackRock’s economic
outlook for the Portfolio and its general investment outlook for the
markets; (iii) information regarding fees to be paid to service providers
that are affiliates of BlackRock; (iv) information regarding compliance
records and regulatory matters relating to BlackRock; and (v) informa-
tion outlining the legal duties of the Board under the 1940 Act with
respect to the consideration and approval of the Agreements.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: The Board, including the
Independent Trustees, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services
to be provided by BlackRock. The Board received information concerning
the investment philosophy and investment process to be used by
BlackRock in managing the Portfolio, as well as a description of the
capabilities, personnel and services of BlackRock. In connection with
this review, the Trustees considered BlackRock’s in-house research capa-
bilities as well as other resources available to its personnel. The Trustees
considered the scope of the services to be provided by BlackRock to the
Portfolio under the Agreements relative to services typically provided by
third parties to other funds. The Trustees concluded that the scope of
BlackRock’s services to be provided to the Portfolio was consistent with
the Portfolio’s operational requirements, including, in addition to seeking
to meet its investment objective, compliance with investment restrictions,
tax and reporting requirements and related shareholder services.

The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the qual-
ity of the services provided by BlackRock to the Portfolio. The Trustees
evaluated the procedures of BlackRock designed to fulfill its fiduciary

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

duty to the Portfolio with respect to possible conflicts of interest, includ-
ing BlackRock’s code of ethics (regulating the personal trading of their
officers and employees), the procedures by which BlackRock allocates
trades among its various investment advisory clients, the integrity of the
systems in place to ensure compliance with the foregoing and the record
of BlackRock in these matters. The Trustees also noted information re-
ceived at prior Board meetings concerning standards of BlackRock with
respect to the execution of portfolio transactions.

The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered informa-
tion relating to the education, experience and number of investment
professionals and other personnel who would provide services to the
Portfolio under the Agreements. The Trustees included in this review the
nature, extent and quality of services provided to the existing and oper-
ating series of the Fund by BlackRock. The Trustees also took into
account the time and attention to be devoted by senior management
of BlackRock to the Portfolio. The Trustees also considered the business
reputation of BlackRock and their financial resources and concluded
that BlackRock would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable
obligation under the Agreements.

Throughout the year, the Board considers the quality of the administra-
tive and non-investment advisory services to be provided to the Portfolio
in addition to its consideration of advisory services. The Board noted
that BlackRock and its affiliates will provide the Portfolio with certain
administrative, transfer agency, shareholder and other services (in addi-
tion to any such services provided to the Portfolio by third parties) and
officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the
Portfolio. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and
its affiliates will provide the Portfolio with other services, including
(i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the state-
ment of additional information and shareholder reports; (ii) assisting
with daily accounting and pricing; (iii) overseeing and coordinating the
activities of other service providers; (iv) organizing Board meetings and
preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (v) providing legal and
compliance support; and (vi) performing other administrative functions
necessary for the operation of the Portfolio, such as tax reporting and
fulfilling regulatory filing requirements. The Board also reviews the struc-
ture and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal
and compliance departments.

The Board concluded, based in part on their experience with the
other series of the Fund currently operating and as Board members
for other BlackRock-advised funds, that the services to be provided to
the Portfolio by BlackRock under the Agreements were likely to be of a
high quality and would benefit the Portfolio.

B. The Investment Performance of the Portfolio and BlackRock: The
Board did not consider the performance history of the Portfolio because
the Portfolio was newly organized. However, the Board considered the
investment performance of the five Underlying Funds to be included in
the Portfolio’s initial investment portfolio and the investment perform-
ance of BlackRock generally. The Board noted that it will monitor the
Portfolio’s performance.

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 Portfolio: The Board noted that, due to its fund
of funds structure, the Portfolio will pay expenses both at the Portfolio
level and, indirectly, at the Underlying Funds level. The Board also noted
that the Advisor and the Subadvisor will not receive any advisory or
subadvisory fees, respectively, from the Portfolio for their advisory and
subadvisory services.

In connection with the initial approval of the Agreements, the Board,
including the Independent Trustees, considered the fees and pro forma
expense ratio of a representative share class of the Portfolio. The Board
compared the Portfolio’s pro forma actual total expenses (net of fee
waivers and expense reimbursements), including estimated Underlying
Fund expenses, against comparable fees and expense ratios of its Peers
(each of which is also a fund of funds). The Board noted that four of the
five funds selected by Lipper as Peers are substantially larger than the
projected assets under management for the Portfolio. The Board noted
that although the pro forma total expenses of the Portfolio were above
the median of total expenses of its Peers, such expenses were within
five basis points of the median amount.

The Board further noted that BlackRock had contractually agreed to
waive fees or reimburse expenses so that Portfolio operating expenses
for each share class would not exceed certain specified levels. The
expense waiver or reimbursement applies to direct Portfolio expenses
only, not expenses attributable to investments in Underlying Funds.

Because the Portfolio had not commenced operations at the time of the
June 2008 meeting, BlackRock did not provide the Board with specific
information concerning the expected profits to be realized by BlackRock
and its affiliates from their relationships with the Portfolio. BlackRock,
however, will provide the Board with such information at future meetings.
Following consideration of this information, the Board, including the
Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Agreements were
fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

30 ANNUAL REPORT

DECEMBER 31, 2008


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements (concluded)

The Board generally considered whether BlackRock has the financial
resources necessary to attract and retain high-quality investment man-
agement personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and
to provide the high quality of services that are expected by the Board.

D. Economies of Scale: Since the Portfolio was newly formed, BlackRock
did not provide the Board with specific information concerning the extent
to which economies of scale would be realized as the Portfolio grows.

E. Other Factors: The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also
took into account other potential benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates,
such as the ability to leverage investment professionals that also man-
age other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the broker-
dealer community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as
service providers to the Portfolio, including for administrative, transfer
agency, distribution and custodial services. The Board also noted that
BlackRock may use third party research obtained by soft dollars generat-
ed by transactions in the Underlying Funds to assist itself in managing
all or a number of its other client accounts.

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that
these ancillary benefits that BlackRock and its affiliates could receive
with regard to providing investment advisory and other services to the
Portfolio were consistent with those generally available to other mutual
fund sponsors.

Conclusion

The Board approved the Advisory Agreement between the Advisor
and the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio for a two-year term and the
Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Portfolio between the Advisor
and the Subadvisor for a two-year term. Based upon their evaluation of
all these factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent
Trustees, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were in the
best interest of the Portfolio and the Portfolio’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 con-
sidered all factors together. The Independent Trustees were also assisted
by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end
of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer,
principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar
functions. During the period covered by this report, there have been no amendments to or
waivers granted under the code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is available without
charge at www.blackrock.com.

Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors or trustees, as
applicable (the “board of directors”) has determined that (i) the registrant has the following
audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit
committee financial expert is independent:
Kenneth L. Urish

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial
expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the
purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or
identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification as an
audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or
liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a
member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or
identification.

financial statements not included in Audit Fees.
2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and
procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax
compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-
approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services
provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated
service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the
registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent
with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will
not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the
Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).
The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless
the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to
the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the
registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not
exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the


Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if
they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific
pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-
approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each
service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person
board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee
for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to
approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit
services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by
the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not Applicable         
 
(g) Affiliates’ Aggregate Non-Audit Fees:

       BlackRock International         
       Diversification Fund of    $412,149    N/A 
       BlackRock Funds         

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of
non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including
any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that
provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal
accountant’s independence.

Regulation S-X Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) – $405,000, 0%

Item 6 – Investments

Item 8 – Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies – Not Applicable

Item 10 – Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders – The registrant’s Nominating and Governance Committee will consider nominees to the board of directors recommended by shareholders when a vacancy becomes available. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations which include biographical information and set forth the

qualifications of the proposed nominee to the registrant’s Secretary. There have been no material changes to these procedures.

Item 11 – Controls and Procedures

11(a) –    The registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing 
    similar functions have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as 
    defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 
    “1940 Act”)) are effective as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report based on the 
    evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act 
    and Rule 15(d)-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 
11(b) –    There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as 
    defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the second fiscal quarter 
    of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to 
    materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
