JANUARY 31, 2008


A Letter to Shareholders

  Dear Shareholder

Financial markets weathered intense bouts of volatility in 2007, only to enter the new year with no relief. While most

major market indexes managed to post positive returns in 2007, January proved to be a trying month as fears of an

economic recession swelled.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), after cutting interest rates 100 basis points (1%) between September 2007

and 2007 year-end, more than matched those cuts in January alone. The Fed, responding to a slowing economy and

continued fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis, cut interest rates 75 basis points in a rare unscheduled session

on January 22, and quickly followed with another 50-basis-point cut at its regular meeting on January 30. This brought

the target short-term interest rate to 3% as of the conclusion of this reporting period. In a statement accompanying its

action, the central bank cited “a deepening housing contraction” and “considerable stress in the credit markets.”

To be sure, subprime mortgage woes dominated headlines for much of 2007, spawning a widespread liquidity and

credit crisis with ramifications across global markets. The reverberations continue to be felt as stocks grapple with

recession fears, heightened volatility and weakening earnings growth. Small-cap and value-oriented stocks suffered

most in 2007, while large-cap and growth-oriented stocks fared better. International markets, which outperformed

the U.S. in 2007, generally experienced greater declines in January as investors grew increasingly risk averse.

The reaction has been similar in fixed income markets, with fears related to the economic slowdown, housing collapse

and subprime fallout prompting a flight to quality. Investors have largely shunned bonds associated with the housing

and credit markets in favor of higher-quality government issues. The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which touched

5.30% in June 2007 (its highest level in five years), fell to 4.04% by year-end and to 3.67% by the end of January,

while prices correspondingly rose. The tax-exempt bond market set a new-issuance record in 2007, but has struggled

with additional concerns around the creditworthiness of bond insurers.

Against this volatile backdrop, the major benchmark indexes posted mixed results for the current reporting period:

Total Returns as of January 31, 2008    6-month    12-month 

 
 
U.S. equities (S&P 500 Index)    –4.32%     – 2.31% 

 
 
Small cap U.S. equities (Russell 2000 Index)    –7.51     – 9.79 

 
 
International equities (MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East Index)    –7.52     +0.22 

 
 
Fixed income (Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index)    +6.82     +8.81 

 
 
Tax-exempt fixed income (Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index)    +3.71     +4.93 

 
 
High yield bonds (Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index)    +1.34     – 0.44

Fund Summary

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark in a challenging 12-month
period for equity markets, particularly for value-oriented investors.

What factors influenced performance?
The Fund’s fiscal year was marked by increased market volatility stem-
ming from a U.S. economic slowdown, a mortgage market crisis and
tightening credit market conditions. Against this backdrop, investors
sought the relative safety of large cap stocks, and small cap issues
lagged. The growth style of investing outperformed value across the mar-
ket-capitalization spectrum.

Despite solid performance from our biotechnology holdings, stock selec-
tion in healthcare detracted from Fund results relative to the benchmark.
Specialty pharmaceutical stocks, Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp. and
King Pharmaceuticals, Inc., detracted from performance, as did holdings
in healthcare equipment & supply manufacturers.

On the positive side, specific stock selection in information technology
(IT), consumer staples, telecommunication services and utilities con-
tributed favorably to performance. Software company VMware, Inc. was a
key contributor, as was BEA Systems, Inc., which rose sharply on news of
a takeover from Oracle Corp. In IT services, Global Payments Inc. was a
standout performer. Within consumer staples, Alberto-Culver Co. and
Smithfield Foods both added value, and in telecommunication services,
Canadian company BCE Inc. was the most notable individual contributor.
Utilities names that performed particularly well included Puget Energy,
Inc. and Questar Corp.

An overweighted position in the surging energy sector benefited fund
performance relative to the benchmark, but was offset by stock selec-
tion. Similarly, underweighted investments in the consumer discretionary
sector benefited relative performance, while a value bias in specific
fund holdings caused performance to lag the benchmark index. Specific
detractors included investments in apparel manufacturer Jones Apparel
Group Inc. and recreational equipment provider Brunswick Corp.

Describe recent portfolio activity.
During the fiscal year, we increased exposure to utilities by adding to
our existing position in OGE Energy Corp. and establishing new positions
in Wisconsin Energy Corp. and Alliant Energy Corp. We also increased
exposure to healthcare holdings, particularly within the pharmaceuticals
and biotechnology subsectors. New positions included PDL BioPharma
Inc. and ImClone Systems, Inc.

We reduced the Fund’s weightings in IT and industrials.We sold BEA
Systems after the takeover announcement from Oracle, and we liquidat-
ed positions in BISYS Group Inc. and Computer Sciences Corp. In indus-
trials, we sold construction and engineering firm Chicago Bridge & Iron
Co. and trimmed exposure to the machinery, aerospace & defense and
road & rail subsectors.

Describe Fund positioning at period-end.
Relative to its benchmark, the Fund ended the period overweight in IT,
energy and healthcare and underweight in consumer discretionary and
industrials. The Fund’s largest absolute weightings were in financials, IT,
healthcare, industrials and energy.

  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. 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, distribution 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 August 1, 2007 and held through January 31, 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.

BLACKROCK MID CAP VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”), a series of
BlackRock Mid Cap Value Opportunities Series, Inc. (the “Company”)
are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
(the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. The Fund’s 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. The Fund offers multiple
classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold only to certain eligible
investors. Investor A Shares are 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, dividend, 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). Income, expenses (other than expenses
attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains and
losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

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

Valuation of Investments: Equity investments traded on a national
securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are
valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official
closing price, if applicable. Equity investments traded on a national
securities exchange for which there were no sales on that day and
equity investments traded on other over-the-counter markets for which
market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean of the
bid and asked prices.

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,
under the direction of, or in accordance with, a method approved by the
Fund’s 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 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 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 computing the
net assets of the Fund are determined as of such times. Foreign curren-
cy exchange rates will 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 materially affect
the value of such securities, those securities may be valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors
or BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), an indirect, wholly owned
subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., using a pricing service and/or procedures
approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are translated
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 does not isolate the portion of operations
arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the
fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held
at period end and sold during the period.

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.

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 shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed
on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Effective July 31, 2007, the Fund implemented Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a
tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in
income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity, includ-
ing investment companies, before being measured and recognized in the

16 BLACKROCK MID CAP VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FIN
48 to the Fund, and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 does
not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements. 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 U.S. federal tax return remains open for the years ended January
31, 2005 through January 31, 2007. The statutes of limitations on the
Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional
year depending upon the jurisdiction.

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. Upon notification from
issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate invest-
ment trust (“REIT”) may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the
related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income is recognized on
the accrual basis.

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

Bank Overdraft: The Fund recorded a bank overdraft, which resulted from
a failed sale trade.

Securities Lending: The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions
that provide cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. govern-
ment 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 securi-
ties. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close
of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is deliv-
ered to the Fund on the next business day. Where the Fund receives
securities as collateral for the loaned securities it collects a fee from the
borrower. The Fund typically receives the income on the loaned securities
but does not receive the income on the collateral. Where the Fund
receives cash collateral, 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 securi-
ties are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required
to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settle-
ment 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 collateral falls below the
market value of the borrowed securities, in the event of borrower default
or in the event of losses on investments made with cash collateral.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In September 2006, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclo-
sures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In addition, in February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 159 permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.
FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different
measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The
impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently
being assessed.

Reclassifications: U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require
that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent
differences between financial and tax reporting. Accordingly, during the
current year, $1,670,613 has been reclassified between accumulated
net realized capital losses and accumulated distributions in excess of
net investment income as a result of a permanent difference attributable
to a net operating loss and foreign currency transactions. This reclassifi-
cation has no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the
Manager to provide advisory and administration services. The Fund has
also entered into separate Distribution Agreements with FAM Distributors,
Inc. (“FAMD”) and BlackRock Distributors, Inc. and its affiliates (“BDI”)
(collectively, the “Distributor”) and has adopted separate Distribution
Plans with respect to its Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Class R
Shares. FAMD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc.,

BLACKROCK MID CAP VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND

JANUARY 31, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

and BDI is an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.
(“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”)
are principal owners of BlackRock, Inc.

The Manager 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 Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of .65%,
of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets. In addition, the
Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with
BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the
Manager, under which the Manager pays BIM for services it provides a
monthly fee that is a percentage of the management fee paid by the
Fund to the Manager. For the year ended January 31, 2008, the Fund
reimbursed the Manager $8,217 for certain accounting services, which
are included in accounting services in Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans adopted by the Company in accor-
dance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the
Distributor ongoing service fees 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    .25%     
Investor B    .25%    .75% 
Investor C    .25%    .75% 
Class R    .25%    .25% 

 
 

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

For the year ended January 31, 2008, the Distributor earned under-
writing discounts and direct commissions and MLPF&S and BDI earned
dealer concessions on sales of the Fund’s Investor A Shares which
totaled $24,102.

For the year ended January 31, 2008, affiliates received contingent
deferred sales charges of $58,649 and $6,469 relating to transactions
in Investor B and Investor C Shares, respectively. Furthermore MLPF&S
received contingent deferred sales charges of $403 relating to transac-
tions subject to front-end sales charge waivers in Investor A Shares.

The Manager 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 year ended January 31, 2008, the following
amounts have been accrued by the Fund to reimburse the Manager 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    $ 694 
Investor A    $3,557 
Investor B    $1,936 
Investor C    $2,368 
Class R    $ 535 

 

The Fund has received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it to
lend portfolio securities to MLPF&S, or its affiliates. As of January 31,
2008, the Fund lent securities with a value of $4,662,034 to its affili-
ates. Pursuant to that order, the Fund has retained BIM as the securities
lending 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 Manager or in registered money
market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. For the year
ended January 31, 2008, BIM received $45,343 in securities lending
agent fees.

In addition, MLPF&S received $387,877 in commissions on the execu-
tion of portfolio security transactions for the Fund for the year ended
January 31, 2008.

PFPC Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of
the Manager, is the Fund’s transfer agent.

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

3. Investments:

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

5. Short-Term Borrowings:

The Company, on behalf of the Fund, along with certain other funds man-
aged by the Manager 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 shareholder redemptions and for other lawful purposes
other than for leverage. 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
.06% per annum based on the Fund’s pro rata share of the unused portion
of the credit agreement, which is included in miscellaneous expenses in
the Statement of Operations. Amounts borrowed under the credit agree-
ment bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Fund’s election, the federal
funds rate plus .35% or a base rate as defined in the credit agreement.
The Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended
January 31, 2008.

6. Distribution to Shareholders:

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

    1/31/2008    1/31/2007 
   
 
Distributions paid from:         
Ordinary income    $35,635,002    $35,097,673 
Net long-term capital gains    39,022,513    30,712,163 
   
 
Total taxable distributions    $74,657,515    $65,809,836 
   
 
 
As of January 31, 2008, the components of accumulated losses on a tax 
basis were as follows:         

 
 
Undistributed ordinary income — net        $ 2,649,085 
Undistributed long-term capital gains — net        145,954 
       
Total undistributed earnings — net        2,795,039 
Unrealized losses — net             (36,111,652)* 
       
Total accumulated losses — net        $ (33,316,613) 
       

*      The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the timing of income recognition on partnership interests.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BlackRock
Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund of BlackRock Mid Cap
Value Opportunities Series, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of BlackRock Mid Cap Value
Opportunities Fund of BlackRock Mid Cap Value Opportunities Series,
Inc. (the “Fund”) as of January 31, 2008, and the related 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 finan-
cial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Fund’s 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 audit to obtain reasonable assur-
ance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights
are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over finan-
cial 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 Fund’s 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 manage-
ment, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January
31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing
procedures. 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 Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund of BlackRock Mid Cap
Value Opportunities Series, Inc. as of January 31, 2008, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the 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, in con-
formity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

mation is provided to help you understand what personal information

or as is necessary to respond to regulatory requests or to service Client
accounts. These nonaffiliated third parties are required to protect the
confidentiality and security of this information and to use it only for its

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 experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit
committee financial expert is independent:
Joe Grills (not reappointed to the Audit Committee, effective November 1, 2007)
Robert M. Hernandez (term began, effective November 1, 2007)
Robert S. Salomon, Jr. (term ended, effective November 1, 2007)
Fred G. Weiss (term began, effective November 1, 2007)
Richard R. West (term began, effective November 1, 2007)

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.

1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of 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

  (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.

Item 10 – Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders – The registrant’s Nominating and
Governance Committee will consider nominees to the Board 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

materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
