JUNE 30, 2007 A Letter to Shareholders Dear Shareholder At the mid-point of 2007, investor sentiment appeared quite buoyant, notwithstanding some undertones of caution. For equity markets, positive momentum as the year began was interrupted by a notable but transitory set-back at the end of February. Markets resumed their ascent through May, but entered a trading range in June as investors began to question the sustainability of the rally. For the most part, equities found support in robust merger-and-acquisition activity, healthy global economies, tame inflation, relatively low interest rates, still-positive earnings growth and attractive valuations. These tailwinds prevailed over such headwinds as a weakening U.S. economy, slowing housing market, credit-related lending problems, escalating geopolitical concerns and high energy prices, leading the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index to a new record high in May. Meanwhile, turmoil in the subprime mortgage market and generally mixed economic signals weighed on bonds. In June, bond prices dropped precipitously as long-term yields rose to their highest levels in five years. The 10-year Treasury yield, which began 2007 at 4.68%, reached nearly 5.30% in mid-June before retracing to 5.03% by month's end. Notably, this year has brought some re-steepening of the yield curve, which had been flat to inverted throughout 2006. Still, at the end of June, yields along the curve remained below the federal funds rate of 5.25%, the level at which the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) has left it since first pausing in August 2006. While first-quarter gross domestic product growth of 0.7% represented the slowest rate of expansion since 2002, the Fed reiterated that inflation, not a slowing economy, remains its primary concern. Many observers interpreted the Fed's reaction to mean that the economy has hit its low and is bound for renewed strength, thereby reducing the likelihood of an interest rate cut in the near future. Against this backdrop, the major equity market indexes posted strong returns for the annual and semi-annual periods ended June 30, 2007, while fixed income assets were more mixed:

Doll, Jr. Fund President and Director BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2007 3 A Discussion With Your Fund's Portfolio Managers The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the fiscal year, benefiting from favorable geographic allocations and successful stock selection across various sectors and countries. How did the Fund perform during the fiscal year in light of the existing market conditions? For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2007, BlackRock Global SmallCap Fund, Inc.'s Institutional, Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Class R Shares had total returns of +28.15%, +27.78%, +26.79%, +26.79% and +27.42%, respectively. (Fund results shown do not reflect sales charges and would be lower if sales charges were included. Complete performance information can be found on pages 6 - - 8 of this report to shareholders.) The Fund outpaced both the benchmark Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Small Cap Index and the broader-market MSCI World Index, which returned +21.63% and +23.59%, respectively, as small cap stocks slightly lagged the overall market for the 12-month period. Fund returns were competitive with the +27.42% average return of the Lipper Global Small/Mid-Cap Growth Funds category for the same period. (Funds in this Lipper category invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies inside and outside the United States with market capitalizations, on a three-year weighted basis, less than the 500th-largest company in the S&P Citigroup World Broad Market Index (BMI). Small/mid-cap growth funds typically have an above-average price-to-cash flow ratio, price-to-book ratio and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared to the S&P Citigroup World BMI.) Global equity markets rose sharply over the past 12 months, as the global economy continued to flourish. The continuing industrialization of emerging economies drove demand in the cyclical materials, industrials and energy segments of the market, causing these three sectors to produce the greatest returns within the MSCI World Small Cap Index. Economic growth combined with low interest rates and very high liquidity continued to draw investors to small cap stocks and drive prices higher in 2007. Within the MSCI World Small Cap Index, leaders included Australia (+55%) and many European countries, such as Switzerland (+47%), Germany (+47%), Italy (+43%) and France (+37%). Despite strong performance by U.S. stocks (+16%), overseas markets fared significantly better. Japan's market continued to struggle and turned in the only negative return (-6%) among the major countries in the Index. What factors most influenced Fund performance? Stock selection in the consumer discretionary, information technology and industrials sectors produced excellent absolute returns during the past year and led to the Fund's significant outperformance for the period. Within the consumer discretionary sector, retailers and apparel manufacturers across several countries accounted for the majority of the relative strength. Game Group Plc, a chain of computer and videogame retail outlets based in the U.K., led all contributors in the consumer sector. Pantaloon Retail India Ltd., a large retailer in India, also contributed notably, benefiting from the outperformance of emerging markets during the period. Among apparel manufacturers, Valentino Fashion Group, SpA (Italy) and Polo Ralph Lauren Corp. (U.S.) delivered the strongest returns. Stock selection in the media industry also produced excess returns for the Fund within the consumer discretionary sector. In information technology, the portfolio's relative strength was broad-based, with the greatest returns coming in the software and semiconductor industries. Enterprise software maker Hyperion Solutions Corp. was a top contributor, rising approximately 70% before being acquired by Oracle in March 2007. Two other creators of enterprise software, Cognos, Inc. and Salesforce.com, also added significant value. RF Micro Devices and Microsemi Corp. were among the many stocks contributing to strength in the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industry. Stock selection across several areas drove the excellent results in industrials. Shares of Vestas Wind Systems, a Danish manufacturer of wind turbines, more than doubled over the past 12 months as the appetite for alternative energy sources surged. The Shaw Group, Inc., a U.S. construction & engineering company with exposure to the nuclear power industry, also benefited from the search for additional energy capacity. Chinese toll road operator Shenzhen Expressway Co. Ltd. appreciated sharply thanks to the industrialization of China and investment in the country's infrastructure. Sector positioning also contributed positively during the 12-month period, led by the portfolio's underweight position in the relatively poor-performing financials sector. 4 BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2007 The Fund was well-positioned geographically during the period. The overweight position in emerging markets combined with an underweight in Japan, the worst-performing country during the period, benefited the portfolio significantly. Stock selection also added value, with our individual stock decisions in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan boosting relative returns, and overshadowing negative stock selection in Europe ex-U.K. What changes were made to the portfolio during the period? During the past year, we increased the Fund's allocation to the information technology and energy sectors, while reducing exposure to the financials and health care sectors. In technology, notable holdings added to the portfolio included U.S. semiconductor companies Microsemi, Intersil Corp. and QLogic Corp. In financials, we eliminated positions in Japanese stocks Tokai Tokyo Securities Co. Ltd., Okasan Holdings, Inc. and Shinko Securities Co., Ltd. From a geographic perspective, we increased the Fund's allocation to the U.S. and U.K. markets. The U.S. small cap market's sell-off during the summer of 2006 created many attractively valued investment opportunities, especially in information technology. In the U.K., we added a diverse group of stocks to the portfolio, including SSL International Plc, a health care products manufacturer; food producer Northern Foods Plc; and Great Portland Estates Plc, a developer of commercial real estate in London. We also modestly increased the Fund's investments in emerging markets as we continue to find attractively valued stocks in several developing economies. In other markets, we reduced exposure to Japan, while increasing the Fund's investments elsewhere in Asia (Australia, China, Hong Kong). Japanese stocks sold during this period included Tokyo Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Tokai Tokyo Securities, a financial services and brokerage firm, and beverage company ITO EN Ltd. How would you characterize the Fund's position at the close of the period? At period-end, the portfolio had a neutral weighting in the United States, the largest component of the MSCI World Small Cap Index, reflecting the additions we made in the past year. The Fund ended the period with underweight positions in the other major developed markets in the Index, including the United Kingdom, Japan and Canada. We have offset these underweight positions by investing in emerging markets in Asia, Mideast-Africa and Latin America. Using our bottom-up process, we have identified many compelling investment opportunities in a diverse group of countries, including Brazil, India and South Korea. The companies in which the Fund is invested, in our view, have brighter growth prospects than many of their peers in the developed markets and have been available at attractive prices. From a sector perspective, the Fund ended the period with overweight positions in energy and consumer staples. Our most significant underweights at period-end came from the financials and consumer discretionary sectors. We remain confident in the future of global small cap investing. Our primary emphasis continues to be on investing in companies that exhibit strong growth characteristics at reasonable valuations.

JUNE 30, 2007 5 Performance Data About Fund Performance Effective October 2, 2006, the Fund's Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I Shares were redesignated Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Institutional Shares, respectively. Class R Shares did not change their designation. As previously communicated to shareholders, new sales charge schedules came into effect at the same time for certain of these classes. The Fund has multiple classes of shares: o 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. o 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). o 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. o Investor C Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. In addition, Investor C Shares are subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within one year of purchase. o Class R Shares do not incur a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) or deferred sales charge. These shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.25% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. Class R Shares are available only to certain retirement plans. Prior to inception, Class R Share performance results are those of Institutional Shares (which have no distribution or service fees) restated for Class R Share fees. Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com to obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Fund may charge a 2% redemption fee for sales or exchanges of shares made within 30 days of purchase or exchange. Performance data does not reflect this potential fee. Figures shown in each of the following tables assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders. 6 BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC.

JUNE 30, 2007 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, distribution fees including 12b-1 fees, and other Fund expenses. The following example (which is based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2007 and held through June 30, 2007) 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 first table below 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 in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period." The second table below 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 second table is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.

* For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class (1.12% for Institutional, 1.40% for Investor A, 2.20% for Investor B, 2.20% for Investor C and 1.77% for Class R), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period shown). ** Hypothetical 5% annual return before expenses is calculated by pro-rating the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by 365.

See Notes to Financial Statements. 22 BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2007 Notes to Financial Statements 1. Significant Accounting Policies: On September 29, 2006, Merrill Lynch Global SmallCap Fund, Inc. was renamed BlackRock Global SmallCap Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Effective October 2, 2006, Class I, Class A, Class B and Class C Shares were redesignated Institutional, Investor A, Investor B and Investor C Shares, respectively. Class R Shares did not change their designation. Institutional Shares are sold only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Shares of Investor B and Investor C may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class R Shares are sold only to certain retirement plans. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Class R Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares, and Investor B, Investor C and Class R Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor B shareholders may vote on certain changes to the Investor A distribution plan). Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund. (a) Valuation of investments -- Equity securities held by the Fund that are traded on stock exchanges or the NASDAQ Global Market are valued at the last sale price or official close price on the exchange, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price for long positions, and at the last available asked price for short positions. In cases where equity securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by or under the authority of the Board of Directors of the Fund. Long positions traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") markets, NASDAQ Capital Market or Bulletin Board are valued at the last available bid price or yield equivalent obtained from one or more dealers or pricing services approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Short positions traded in the OTC market are valued at the last available asked price. Portfolio securities that are traded both in the OTC market and on a stock exchange are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Options written or purchased are valued at the last sale price in the case of exchange-traded options. Options traded in the OTC market are valued at the last asked price (options written) or the last bid price (options purchased). Swap agreements are valued based upon quoted fair valuations received daily by the Fund from a pricing service or counterparty. Financial futures contracts and options thereon, which are traded on exchanges, are valued at their last sale price as of the close of such exchanges. Valuation of short-term investment vehicles is generally based on the net asset value of the underlying investment vehicle or amortized cost. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. The Fund employs pricing services to provide certain securities prices for the Fund. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Fund, including valuations furnished by the pricing services retained by the Fund, which may use a matrix system for valuations. The procedures of a pricing service and its valuations are reviewed by the officers of the Fund under the general supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors. Such valuations and procedures will be reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Generally, trading in foreign securities, as well as U.S. government securities, money market instruments and certain fixed income securities, is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates will generally be determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, those securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Board of Directors or by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the "Manager"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2007 23 Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (b) Derivative financial instruments -- The Fund may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Fund and to hedge, or protect, its exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The counterparty for certain instruments may pledge cash or securities as collateral. o Forward foreign exchange contracts -- The Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts as a hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. o Foreign currency options and futures -- The Fund may also purchase or sell listed or OTC foreign currency options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates. Such transactions may be effected with respect to hedges on non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities owned by the Fund, sold by the Fund but not yet delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Fund. o Options -- The Fund may purchase and write call and put options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received). Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments. o Financial futures contracts -- The Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such financial futures contracts. Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees 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 Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records 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. (c) Foreign currency transactions -- Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing when recognized. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are valued at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Foreign currency transactions are the result of settling (realized) or valuing (unrealized) assets or liabilities expressed in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. Realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments include the effects of foreign exchange rates on investments. The Fund invests in foreign securities, which may involve a number of risk factors and special considerations not present with investments in securities of U.S. corporations. (d) Income taxes -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 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. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates. (e) Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Fund has determined the ex-dividend date. Interest is recognized on the accrual basis. (f) Prepaid registration fees -- Prepaid registration fees are charged to expense as the related shares are issued. (g) Dividends and distributions -- Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. 24 BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2007 Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (h) Securities lending -- The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions that provide cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Where the Fund receives securities as collateral for the loaned securities, it receives a fee from the borrower. The Fund typically receives the income on the loaned securities, but does not receive the income on the collateral. Where the Fund receives cash collateral, it may invest such collateral and retain the amount earned on such investment, net of any amount rebated to the borrower. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within five business days. The Fund may pay reasonable finder's, lending agent, administrative and custodial fees in connection with its loans. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund also could suffer a loss where the value of the collateral falls below the market value of the borrowed securities, in the event of borrower default or in the event of losses on investments made with cash collateral. (i) Bank overdraft on foreign cash -- The Fund recorded a bank overdraft, which resulted from a timing difference of foreign security transaction settlements. (j) Recent accounting pronouncements -- In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity including mutual funds before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact on the Fund's financial statements, if any, is currently being assessed. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact on the Fund's financial statements, if any, has not been determined. In addition, in February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS 157. FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 159 and its impact on the Fund's financial statements, if any, has not been determined. (k) Reclassification -- U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. Accordingly, during the current year, $12,289,025 has been reclassified between undistributed net realized capital gains and undistributed net investment income as a result of permanent differences attributable to gains from the sale of stock of passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency transactions, and foreign taxes paid. This reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. 2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates: On September 29, 2006, BlackRock, Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") combined Merrill Lynch's investment management business, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. ("MLIM"), and its affiliates, with BlackRock, Inc. BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2007 25 Notes to Financial Statements (continued) to create a new independent company. Merrill Lynch has a 49.8% economic interest and a 45% voting interest in the combined company and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC"), has approximately a 34% economic and voting interest. The new company operates under the BlackRock name and is governed by a board of directors with a majority of independent members.

In addition, the Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BIM"), an affiliate of the Manager, under which the Manager pays BIM for services it provides a monthly fee at an annual rate that is a percentage of the management fee paid by the Fund to the Manager. Prior to September 29, 2006, MLIM had a Sub-Advisory Agreement with Merrill Lynch Asset Management U.K. Limited ("MLAM U.K."), an affiliate of MLIM. Pursuant to the Distribution Plans adopted by the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund pays the Distributor ongoing service and distribution fees.

The Manager maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing certain shareholder services to the Fund, such as responding to shareholder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instructions from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption of Fund shares. During the period September 29, 2006 to June 30, 2007, the following amounts have been accrued by the Fund to reimburse the Manager for costs incurred running the call center, which are a component of the transfer agent fees in the accompanying Statement of Operations. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call Center Fees - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional ........................................... $3,131 Investor A .............................................. $4,627 Investor B .............................................. $2,678 Investor C .............................................. $6,478 Class R ................................................. $ 153 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fund has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission permitting it to lend portfolio 26 BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC.

The redemption fee is paid to the Fund and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term trading into and out of the Fund. 5. Short-Term Borrowings: The Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500,000,000 credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expires November 2007. The Fund may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions and for other lawful purposes other than for leverage. The Fund may borrow up to the maximum amount allowable under the Fund's current prospectus and statement of additional information, subject to various other legal, regulatory or contractual limits. The Fund pays a commitment fee of .06% per annum based on the Fund's pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at each Fund's election, the federal funds rate plus .35% or a base rate as defined in the credit agreement. The Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended June 30, 2007. 6. Commitments: At June 30, 2007, the Fund had entered into foreign exchange contracts, in addition to the contracts listed on the schedule of investments, under which it had agreed to purchase and sell various foreign currencies with approximate values of $6,498,000 and $10,594,000, respectively. 7. Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/30/2007 6/30/2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income ................................ $ 16,838,590 $ 40,430,022 Net long-term capital gains .................... $126,623,152 $ 38,131,661 ---------------------------- Total taxable distributions .................... $143,461,742 $ 78,561,683 ============================ As of June 30, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income -- net .......................... $ 66,796,525 Undistributed long-term capital gains -- net .................. 81,864,917 ------------ Total undistributed earnings -- net ........................... 148,661,442 Capital loss carryforward ..................................... -- Unrealized gains -- net ....................................... 337,980,593* ------------ Total accumulated earnings -- net ............................. $486,642,035 ============ * The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain foreign currency contracts and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies. 28 BLACKROCK GLOBAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC. JUNE 30, 2007 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BlackRock Global SmallCap Fund, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of BlackRock Global SmallCap Fund, Inc. (formerly Merrill Lynch Global SmallCap Fund, Inc.) as of June 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the 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 assurance 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 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, 2007 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 Global SmallCap Fund, Inc. as of June 30, 2007, 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 its 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.
