The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized
in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the
disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value
determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those
securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Certain foreign securities are fair valued utilizing an external pricing service to reflect any significant market movements
between the time the Fund values such foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the disclosure hierarchy. As of June 30, 2012, there were securities with a value of
$25,417,114 that were systematically fair valued due to significant market movements, but were not valued using systematic fair values as of June 30, 2013. Therefore, these securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the period
June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013.

1. Organization:
BlackRock EuroFund (EuroFund)
and BlackRock Global SmallCap Fund, Inc. (Global SmallCap) (the Funds), are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as diversified, open-end management investment companies.
EuroFund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Global SmallCap is organized as a Maryland corporation. Each 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 CDSC. Class R Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain employer-sponsored 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. Investor B Shares automatically convert to Investor A Shares after approximately eight years. On June 10, 2013, all of
the issued and oustanding shares of EuroFunds Investor B Shares were converted into Investor A Shares with the same relative aggregate net asset value.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Funds
financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the
significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or
pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under
policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the Global Valuation Committee) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of
the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.
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 (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is
available, the prior days price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior days price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price.
Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV 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 Funds value their investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series (the Money Market Series) at fair value, which is ordinarily
based upon their pro rata ownership in the underlying funds net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under
the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Funds may withdraw up to 25% of their 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.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask
prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of
such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (Fair Value Assets). When
determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arms-length transaction.
Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deem relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement which include the market approach, income approach
and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and
adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the

|
customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted
prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts
and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs
various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Funds pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional
back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair
Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially
completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected
in the computation of each Funds net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to affect the value of such instruments materially, those
instruments may be Fair Value Assets and valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, the Funds use a
pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and over-the counter (OTC) options (the Systematic Fair Value Price). Using current market factors,
the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Foreign Currency: The Funds books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of
exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Funds investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer
US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.
The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising
as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not
segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Funds report realized currency gains
(losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components 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 either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts), each Fund will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain
interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on their books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated.
Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, a fund engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral for
certain investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the
transactions 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. Dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. 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 securities, 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 Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The portion of distributions that exceeds a
Funds current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Distributions in excess of a Funds taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of a
Funds earnings and profits
,
will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Capital losses carried forward from years beginning before 2011 do not reduce earnings and
profits, even if such

|
carried forward losses offset current year realized gains. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may
differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is the Funds 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 their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
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 the
Funds US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended June 30, 2013. The statutes of limitations on each Funds 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.
Recent Accounting Standards: In December
2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and
derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements, which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments
and transactions in the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies which investments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements. The scope of the disclosure requirements for offsetting
will be limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or
after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Funds financial statement disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to a 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. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses pro rated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other
appropriate methods.
The Funds have an arrangement 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 Statements 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.
3. Securities and Other Investments:
Securities Lending: The
Funds may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank as
collateral. The initial collateral received by the Funds should have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on US exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral
is maintained thereafter 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 determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral
is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statements 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 Funds earn dividend or interest income on the securities loaned but do not receive interest income on the securities received as collateral. 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 market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of
investments at value, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (BIM), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of
Investments.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (MSLA) which provide the
right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Funds, as lender, would
offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount
payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MSLA counterpartys bankruptcy or insolvency. Under
the MSLA, the Funds can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or repledge the collateral.
The risks of securities lending also
include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate this risk, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc.
(BlackRock). BlackRocks indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. 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 purchased with cash
collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. During the year ended June 30, 2013, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Funds engage in
various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to economically hedge their exposure to certain risks such as foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted
on an exchange or OTC.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to
gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument
at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash
settlement amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contracts
size and risk profile. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contracts size and risk profile.
The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or
payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Funds enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or
portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to or hedge exposure away from foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set
exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Funds, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies, in which some of the investments held by the Funds are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market
daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Funds record 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 foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies.

Counterparty Credit Risk: A derivative contract may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an
unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
In order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a
counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement,
each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA
Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose
restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the
event the Funds net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Funds fail to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Funds to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to
market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due
from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Funds and additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Funds on
the next business day. To the extent amounts due to each Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, each Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Each Fund attempts to mitigate
counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock.
Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the Manager), the Funds investment advisor, an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Funds portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of each Funds average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by,
borrowers of securities. The Funds retain 65% of securities lending income and pay a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all
operational costs directly related to securities lending as well as the cost of borrower default indemnification. BIM does not receive any fees for managing the cash collateral. The share of income earned by the Funds is shown as securities lending
affiliated net in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended June 30, 2013, BIM received $648,505 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for Global SmallCap.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Funds are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for a portion of the
compensation paid to the Funds Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in officer and directors in the Statements of Operations.

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains were attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on certain
foreign currency exchange contracts, the timing and recognition of partnership income, the accounting for real estate investment trusts, the timing of expense recognition and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in
passive foreign investment companies.

8. Bank Borrowings:
The
Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (Participating Funds), are parties to a 364-day, $800 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Funds may borrow to fund
shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2014. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to
asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.065% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR
plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which, along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon
portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. The Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended June 30, 2013.
9. 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 their obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of
securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers 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 issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have
unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their
obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due
from counterparties. The extent of the Funds exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less
any collateral held by the Funds.
The Funds invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of
countries. When the Funds concentrate their investments in this manner, they assume the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance. Foreign issuers may not be
subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the United States. Foreign securities markets may also be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision not
typically associated with investing in US securities. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.
Each Fund invests a
significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about
economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of several European countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. As of June 30, 2013, these events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may
continue to spread to other countries in Europe, including countries that do not use the euro. These events may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Funds investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
|
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees/Directors of BlackRock EuroFund and BlackRock
Global SmallCap Fund, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of BlackRock EuroFund and BlackRock Global SmallCap
Fund, Inc., (collectively, the Funds), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2013, and the related statements 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 Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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, audits of their internal controls 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 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2013, 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 positions of the BlackRock EuroFund and BlackRock Global SmallCap Fund, Inc., as of June 30, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their 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.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and
Sub-Advisory
Agreements
|
The Board of Trustees of BlackRock EuroFund (the
EuroFund) and the Board of Directors of BlackRock Global SmallCap Fund, Inc. (the Global SmallCap Fund) (each a Fund, and collectively, the Funds) (the Board, and the members of which are
referred to as Board Members) met in person on April 9, 2013 (the April Meeting) and May 14-15, 2013 (the May Meeting) to consider the approval of each Funds investment advisory agreement (the
Advisory Agreements) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the Manager), each Funds investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the Sub-Advisory
Agreements) between the Manager and each of (a) BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, and (b) BlackRock International Limited (collectively, the Sub-Advisors), with respect to the Funds, as applicable. The Manager and the
Sub-Advisors are referred to herein as BlackRock. The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the Agreements.
Activities and Composition of the Board
The Board consists of
thirteen individuals, ten of whom are not interested persons of each Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Board Members). The Board Members are
responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Funds and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in
connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Board Member. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight
Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Performance Oversight Committee and the Executive Committee, each of which also has one
interested Board Member).
The Agreements
Pursuant to the
1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. The Board has four quarterly meetings per year, each extending over two days, and a fifth one-day meeting to consider specific information surrounding
the consideration of renewing the Agreements. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including
investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight, compliance and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers at each of its meetings, and from time to time as appropriate, factors that are relevant to its
annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to each Fund and its shareholders. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-year, three-year,

structural variables to investment performance; (ii) rates of portfolio turnover; (iii) BlackRocks performance accountability for portfolio managers; (iv) marketing support for the funds; (v) services provided to each Fund
by BlackRock affiliates; and (vi) BlackRocks oversight of relationships with third party service providers.
Board Considerations in Approving
the Agreements

the April Meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (Lipper) on Fund fees and expenses as compared with a peer group of funds as
determined by Lipper (Expense Peers) and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper

; (b) information on the profits
realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreements and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees charged to other
clients, such as institutional clients, ETFs and closed-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients, as applicable; (d) review of non-management fees; (e) the existence, impact and sharing
of potential economies of scale; (f) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; (g) sales and redemption data regarding each Funds shares; and (h) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar
BlackRock open-end funds, as classified by Lipper.
At the April Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a
result of the discussions that occurred during the April Meeting, and as a culmination of the Boards year-long deliberative process, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to
these requests with additional written information in advance of the May Meeting.
At the May Meeting, the Board, including all the Independent Board
Members, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each Fund, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Sub-Advisors with respect to each Fund, as applicable, each for a one-year term ending
June 30, 2014. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of each Fund and BlackRock; (c) the
advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (d) each Funds costs to investors compared to the costs of Expense Peers and performance compared
to the relevant performance comparison as previously discussed; (e) economies of scale; (f) fall-out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with each Fund; and (g) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the
distribution of Fund shares and securities lending, services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund and advice from
independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Boards review. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify
any particular information as determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent
and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting
performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds and/or the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Board met with BlackRocks senior management
personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by each Funds portfolio management team discussing Fund performance and each Funds investment
objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the number, education and experience of investment
personnel generally and each Funds portfolio management team; investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of technology; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; risk analysis
and oversight capabilities; and the approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRocks compensation structure with respect to each
Funds portfolio management team and BlackRocks ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition
to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services
(in addition to any such services provided to each Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with the following
administrative services including, among others: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the summary prospectus (as applicable), the statement of additional information and periodic 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; (vi) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board in its consideration of strategic issues such as the merger or consolidation of certain open-end funds; and (vii) performing other administrative functions necessary
for the operation of each Fund, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The

Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRocks fund administration, shareholder services, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRocks policies and procedures for
assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of each Fund and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent
Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund. In preparation for the April Meeting, the Board worked with its independent legal counsel, BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template for, and was provided with,
reports independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Funds performance. The Board also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various
factors that affect Lippers rankings. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to other funds in its applicable Lipper category. The Board was
provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds and periodically meets with Lipper representatives to review its methodology. The Board and its Performance Oversight Committee regularly review, and meet with Fund
management to discuss, the performance of each Fund throughout the year.
The Board noted that the EuroFund ranked in the second, fourth and third quartiles
against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively; the Funds one-year performance was in the 31
st
percentile of its Lipper Performance
Universe. The Board noted the Funds improved performance, relative to its peers, during the one-year period. The Board and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for the Funds underperformance during the three- and five-year
periods compared to its Lipper Performance Universe. The Board was informed that, among other things, the underperformance of the Fund during these periods largely occurred during 2010. During that period, earnings growth was a dominant driver of
stock performance, and therefore the growth investment style considerably outperformed value as investors focused on cyclical stocks with exposure to rapidly growing end markets such as China. Up until December 2010, the Fund was run with a value
bias, which was a considerable hindrance for returns during 2010.
The Board and BlackRock also discussed BlackRocks strategy for improving the
EuroFunds performance and BlackRocks commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the Funds portfolio managers and to improve the Funds performance.
The Board noted that the Global SmallCap Fund ranked in the third, third and second quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three- and
five-year periods reported, respectively. The Board and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for the Funds underperformance during the one- and three-year periods compared to its Lipper Performance Universe. The Board was informed
that, among other things, security selection detracted from performance, particularly in the healthcare sector, for the one-year period. Sector positioning of the portfolio also detracted, especially underweights to outperforming areas like consumer
discretionary and industrials. Three-year underperformance is largely attributable to the portfolios tilt toward high quality growth companies with stable business models. Fund management believed this positioning would provide the best
balance of downside risk and upside return potential given the broader environment, although this positioning proved to be overly conservative in hindsight.
The Board and BlackRock also discussed BlackRocks strategy for improving the Global SmallCap Funds performance and BlackRocks commitment to
providing the resources necessary to assist the Funds portfolio managers and to improve the Funds performance.
The Board noted that BlackRock
has recently made, and continues to make, changes to the organization of BlackRocks overall portfolio management structure designed to result in strengthened leadership teams.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship
with each Fund: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Funds contractual management fee rate compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. The contractual management fee rate represents a combination of the
advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board compared each Funds total net operating expense ratio, as well as actual management fee rate, to those of other funds in its
Lipper category. The total net operating expense ratio and actual management fee rate both give effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers that benefit the funds. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock
to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including institutional accounts.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to
BlackRocks financial condition. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRocks
profitability with respect to each Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the two prior years. The Board reviewed BlackRocks
profitability with respect to certain other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRocks assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent
limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and

expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. As a result, comparing profitability is difficult.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board reviewed BlackRocks
overall operating margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly-traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of technology at BlackRock,
BlackRocks expense management, and the relative product mix.
In addition, the Board considered the cost of the services provided to each Fund by
BlackRock, and BlackRocks and its affiliates profits relating to the management and distribution of each Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRocks
methodology in allocating its costs to the management of each Fund. The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under
the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board.
The Board noted that each Funds contractual
management fee rate ranked in the second quartile relative to the Funds Expense Peers. The Board also noted that each Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the Fund
increases above certain contractually specified levels.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to
which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of each Fund increase, as well as the existence of expense caps, as applicable. The Board also considered the extent to which each Fund benefits from such economies and whether there should be
changes in the advisory fee rate or breakpoint structure in order to enable each Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of revised breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of each Fund. In its
consideration, the Board Members took into account the existence of any expense caps and further considered the continuation and/or implementation, as applicable, of such caps.
E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or
fall-out benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from their respective relationships with each Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRocks ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other
portfolios and risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRocks profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRocks affiliates as service providers to each Fund, including for administrative, distribution,
securities lending and cash management services. The Board also considered BlackRocks overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that BlackRock may use and
benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Board further noted that it had considered the investment by
BlackRocks funds in ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.
In connection with its consideration of the
Agreements, the Board also received information regarding BlackRocks brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout
the year.
The Board noted the competitive nature of the open-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares if they
believe that each Funds fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of each Fund.
Conclusion
The Board, including all the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each Fund, as applicable,
for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Sub-Advisors with respect to each Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned
factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve
the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors
considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for each Fund reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members
and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board Members conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior
years.
