2 BLACKROCK MID CAP VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND JANUARY 31, 2011



Dear Shareholder

Economic data fluctuated widely throughout 2010, but as the year drew to a close, it became clear that cyclical stimulus had beaten out structural prob-
lems as economic data releases generally became more positive and financial markets showed signs of continuing improvement. The sovereign debt
crises and emerging market inflation that troubled the global economy in 2010 remain a challenge to global growth, but overall levels of uncertainty are
gradually declining as the United States and the world economy are progressing from a stimulus-driven recovery into a consumption-driven expansion.

In the United States, the corporate sector has been an important area of strength and consumer spending has shown improvement, although weak-
ness in the housing and labor markets continues to burden the economy. It is important to note that we are in the midst of the first global economic
recovery that is being led by emerging economies, and the United States has only just begun its transition to a self-sustaining expansion, suggesting
that economic improvements still have a way to go.

Global equity markets experienced uneven growth and high volatility over the course of 2010, but ended the year strong. Stocks continued their
advance through most of January until the political unrest in Egypt and widespread discord across the Middle East caused a sharp, but temporary
decline at the end of the period. US stocks outpaced most international markets over the 12-month period. Small cap stocks outperformed large
caps as investors moved into higher-risk assets.

Fixed income markets saw yields trend lower over most of 2010, until the fourth quarter brought an abrupt reversal in sentiment and risk tolerance
that drove yields sharply upward (pushing prices downward) through year end and into the New Year. However, on a 12-month basis, yields were lower
overall and fixed income markets performed well. Conversely, the tax-exempt municipal market was dealt an additional blow as it became evident that
the Build America Bond program would expire at the end of 2010. In addition, negative headlines regarding fiscal challenges faced by state and local
governments damaged investor confidence and sparked additional volatility in the municipal market. These conditions began to moderate as the
period came to a close and the market has shown signs of improvement in supply-and-demand technicals.

Cash investments, as represented by the 3-month Treasury bill, returned only a fraction over 0% for the 12-month period as short-term interest rates
remained low. Yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows.

Total Returns as of January 31, 2011  6-month  12-month 
US large cap equities (S&P 500 Index)  17.93%  22.19%

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2011

Investment Objective

BlackRock Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek capital appreciation and, secondarily, income, by investing
in securities, primarily equity securities that Fund management believes are undervalued and therefore represent an investment value.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2011, the Fund outper-
formed its benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Value Index.

What factors influenced performance?

Stock selection in the energy, health care, materials and industrials sec-
tors drove outperformance relative to the benchmark for the period. The
Fund benefited from an overweight position and positive stock selection
in the energy sector. In particular, stock selection among oil companies,
including Whiting Petroleum Corp. and Oasis Petroleum, Inc., and energy
services firms, such as Dresser-Rand Group, Inc., strongly contributed
to performance. In health care, equipment maker Beckman Coulter, Inc.
and health care services provider Tenet Healthcare Corp. were notably
additive. In materials, chemical companies outperformed, as did iron
ore miner Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc., while stock selection and an
emphasis on machinery drove outperformance in industrials. Sector
allocation decisions were additive on balance, with notable positive
contributions from an overweight in information technology (IT) and
underweight in financials.

Conversely, an underweight in industrials and stock selection in IT
modestly detracted although performance was generally strong. In IT,
the Fund’s semiconductor names underperformed relative to the
sector, which enjoyed very strong performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the 12-month period, the Fund reduced exposure to the IT
and consumer discretionary sectors, redeploying capital in health
care and energy.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.

At the end of the period, the Fund was overweight relative to the
benchmark in the health care and IT sectors, and underweight in
materials, utilities, industrials and financials.

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 B Shares are only available
through exchanges, dividend reinvestment by existing shareholders or
for purchase by certain qualified employee benefit plans.

Investor C Shares are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales
charge if redeemed within one year of purchase. In addition, Investor C
Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% and a service fee of
0.25% per year.

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 February
4, 2003, 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 guaran-
tee 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 table on the previous page 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 avail-
able to be paid to shareholders. The Fund’s investment advisor waived a
portion of its investment advisory fee. Without such waiver, the Fund’s
performance would have been lower.

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,
service and distribution fees including 12b-1 fees and other Fund
expenses. The expense example on the previous page (which is based
on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on August 1, 2010
and held through January 31, 2011) 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 example is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not
help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning differ-
ent funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder
expenses would have been higher.

For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any
one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund
management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which
may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.
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 assets
and liabilities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for
identical or 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
circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2011 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

3 Includes proceeds received from a settlement of litigation, which impacted the Fund’s total investment return. Not including these proceeds, the total investment return would
have been 38.60%.

BLACKROCK MID CAP VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND JANUARY 31, 2011 17



Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) of BlackRock
Mid Cap Value Opportunities Series, Inc. (the “Series”) is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940
Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Fund’s financial
statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles gener-
ally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may
require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund offers multiple
classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge
and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold
with a front-end sales charge. Investor B and Investor C Shares may be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class R Shares are sold
without a sales charge and only to certain retirement and other similar
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. Investor B Shares automatically convert
to Investor A Shares after approximately eight years. Investor B Shares
are only available through exchanges, dividend reinvestment by existing
shareholders or for purchase by certain qualified employee benefit
plans. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters
relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures
(except that Investor B shareholders may vote on material changes to
the Investor A distribution plan).

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

Valuation: The Fund fair values its financial instruments at market value
using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved
by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Equity investments traded on a
recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System
(“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the
NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments
traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the
exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments
traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that
day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price is available,
the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior
day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Investments
in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset
value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities
of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.

The Fund values its investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC
Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which
is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the net assets of the
underlying fund. The Money Market Series seeks current income consis-
tent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the
Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its invest-
ments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market
fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the 1940 Act. The Fund may with-
draw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the
Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to
withdraw more than 25% on any one day.

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 or is not available, the investment will
be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflect-
ing fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair
Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the 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.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting
purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the trans-
actions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses
on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Upon notification
from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate
investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the
related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including
amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securi-
ties, is recognized on the accrual basis. Income and realized and
unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on
its relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the
Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of
dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.

Securities Lending: The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions
that provide cash 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. Securities

18 BLACKROCK MID CAP VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND JANUARY 31, 2011



Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

lending income, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, represents
the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of
rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the
securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Fund earns
dividends and interest on the securities loaned. 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. 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 if the
value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the
market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment pur-
chased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash
collateral received.

Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of
its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required.

The Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No
income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limita-
tions on the Fund’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the
four years ended January 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on the
Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional
year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe
there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a
tax liability.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to
the Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are
pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other
appropriate methods. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to
each class based on its relative net assets. The Fund has an arrange-
ment with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned
on uninvested cash balances, which if applicable are shown as fees paid
indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on
overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits
earned or may result in additional custody charges.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America
Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest
stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership
structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC
and Barclays are not.

The Series, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an Investment Advisory
Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Fund’s
investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock,
to provide investment advisory and administration services. 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 0.65% of the
Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by
the amount of investment advisory fees the Fund pays to the Manager
indirectly through the Fund’s investment in affiliated money market
funds, however the Manager does not waive its investment advisory
fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid through the Fund’s
investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. This amount
is shown as fees waived by advisor in the Statement of Operations.

The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock
Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager.
The Manager pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is
a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to
the Manager.

For the year ended January 31, 2011, the Fund reimbursed the
Manager $5,815 for certain accounting services, which are included in
accounting services in the Statement of Operations.

The Series, on behalf of the Fund, entered into a Distribution Agreement
and Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC
(“BRIL”), an affiliate of BlackRock. Pursuant to the Distribution and
Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act,
the Fund pays BRIL 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 of the Fund as follows:

  Service  Distribution 
  Fee  Fee 
Investor A  0.25%   
Investor B  0.25%  0.75% 
Investor C  0.25%  0.75% 
Class R  0.25%  0.25% 

 

Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide
shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Fund. The ongoing
service and/or distribution fee compensates BRIL and each broker-
dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution related
services to Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Class R shareholders.

BLACKROCK MID CAP VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND JANUARY 31, 2011 19



Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

For the year ended January 31, 2011, affiliates earned underwriting
discounts, direct commissions and dealer concessions on sales of the
Fund’s Investor A Shares, which totaled $7,803.

For the year ended January 31, 2011, affiliates received the following
contingent deferred sales charges relating to transactions in Investor B
and Investor C Shares:

Investor B  $ 4,504 
Investor C  $ 1,541 

 

Furthermore, affiliates received contingent deferred sale charges of $670
relating to transactions subject to front-end sales charge waivers on
Investor A Shares.

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (formerly PNC Global
Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”)), serves as transfer agent
and dividend disbursing agent. On July 1, 2010, the Bank of New York
Mellon Corporation purchased PNCGIS, which prior to this date was an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC and an affiliate of the Manager.
Transfer agency fees borne by the Fund are comprised of those fees
charged for all shareholder communications including mailing of share-
holder reports, dividend and distribution notices, and proxy materials
for shareholder meetings, as well as per account and per transaction
fees related to servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts,
including the issuing, redeeming and transferring of shares, check writ-
ing, anti-money laundering services, and customer identification serv-
ices. Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries,
some of which may be affiliates, provide the Fund with sub-accounting,
recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services
with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these
entities receive an annual fee per shareholder account, which will vary
depending on share class and/or net assets. Prior to July 1, 2010,
PNCGIS was an affiliate and earned $6,238 in transfer agency fees for
the period from February 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, which are included
as a component of transfer agent — class specific in the Statement
of Operations.

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. For the year ended January 31, 2011, the Fund reimbursed
the Manager the following amounts for costs incurred in running the
call center, which are included in transfer agent — class specific in the
Statement of Operations:

Institutional  $    395 
Investor A  $ 2,400 
Investor B  $    314 
Investor C  $ 1,372 
Class R  $    611 

 

The Fund received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among
other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on
a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and
has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. 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. The market value of securities on loan and the value of
the related collateral, if applicable, are shown in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities as securities loaned and collateral on securities loaned
at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in
the Schedule of Investments. The share of income earned by the Fund
on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the
Statement of Operations. For the year ended January 31, 2011, BIM
received $5,446 in securities lending agent fees related to securities
lending activities for the Fund.

Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers and/or directors
of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses the Manager for com-
pensation paid to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer.

3. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities,
for the year ended January 31, 2011, were $193,902,625 and
$169,647,040, respectively.

4. Borrowings:

The Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and
its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group
of lenders, which expired in November 2010. The Fund may borrow
under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective
November 2009, the credit agreement had the following terms: 0.02%
upfront fee on the aggregate commitment amount which was allocated
to the Fund based on its net assets as of October 31, 2009, a commit-
ment fee of 0.10% per annum based on the Fund’s pro rata share of
the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal
to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum and
(b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed.
In addition, the Fund paid administration and arrangement fees which
were allocated to the Fund based on its net assets as of October 31,
2009. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement was renewed until
November 2011 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08%
per annum based on the Fund’s pro rata share of the unused portion
of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of
(a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and (b) the Fed Funds
rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the
Fund paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated
to the Fund based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. The Fund
did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended
January 31, 2011.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. Income Tax Information:

Reclassifications: US GAAP require that certain components of net
assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial
and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets
or net asset values per share. The following permanent difference as of
January 31, 2011 attributable to income recognized from pass-through
entities was reclassified to the following accounts:

Undistributed net investment income  $ 50,971 
Accumulated net realized loss  $ (50,971) 

 

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended
January 31, 2011 and January 31, 2010 was as follows:

  1/31/2011  1/31/2010 
Distributions paid from:     
Ordinary income    $ 715,423 

 

As of January 31, 2011, the tax components of accumulated net
earnings were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income  $   1,276,426 
Capital loss carryforwards  (79,903,874) 
Net unrealized gains*  89,302,296 
Total  $ 10,674,848 

 

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains were
attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of January 31, 2011, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward
available to offset future realized gains through the indicated
expiration dates:

Expires January 31,   
2017  $   4,624,072 
2018  75,279,802 
Total  $ 79,903,874 

 

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company
Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Fund after
January 31, 2011 will not be subject to expiration. In addition, these
losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment
taxable years.

6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities and
enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the
market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its
obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Fund
may decline in response to certain events, including those directly
involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Fund; 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 issuer credit risk, the Fund may be
exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which
the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable
to perform on its commitments. The Fund manages counterparty credit
risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes
have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring
the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which
potentially expose the Fund to market, issuer and counterparty credit
risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due
from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to market, issuer
and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is
generally approximated by their value recorded in the Fund’s Statement
of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Fund.

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities in the
financials sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the finan-
cials sector would have a greater impact on the Fund and could affect
the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

7. Capital Share Transactions:

Transactions in capital shares for each class were as follows:

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
of BlackRock Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund of BlackRock Mid Cap
Value Opportunities Series, Inc. (the “Fund”), including the schedule of
investments, as of January 31, 2011, and the related statement of oper-
ations 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 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 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 expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over finan-
cial 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 management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our proce-
dures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2011,
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, 2011, 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 con-
formity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

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.

(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 per project. 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 the Committee Chairman 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 of directors recommended by
shareholders when a vacancy becomes available. Shareholders who wish to recommend a
nominee should send nominations that 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

evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act

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.
