Notes to Financial Statements | BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (“the Corporation”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its assets in Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”), a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”), which has the same investment objective and strategies as the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Series reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Series. The percentage of the Series owned by the Fund at December 31, 2011 was 18%. The Fund’s 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 and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional Shares and Class K Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold without a front-end sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fund’s policy is to fair value its financial instruments at market value. The Fund records its investment in the Series at fair value based on the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. Valuation of securities held by the Series is discussed in Note 1 of the Series’ Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, contributions to and withdrawals from the Series are accounted on a trade date basis. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Series’ income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are adjusted for utilizing partnership tax allocation rules. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standard: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance that will enhance 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 agreements or similar agreements and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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 of this guidance on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to the Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
The Series has 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 Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

2. Administration Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but Barclays is not.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an Administration Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide administrative services (other than investment advice and related portfolio activities). For such services, the Fund pays the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.29% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund does not pay an investment advisory fee or investment management fee.
The Administrator contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses as a percentage of average daily net assets to 0.30% for Institutional Shares, 0.55% for Investor A Shares and 0.25% for Class K Shares until May 1, 2012. The Administrator has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement unless approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors.
As a result of these agreements, the Administrator waived and/or reimbursed the following amounts, which are shown as transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific in the Statement of Operations:
| | | | |
Institutional | | $ | 14,243 | |
Investor A | | $ | 16,531 | |
Class K | | $ | 17 | |
In addition, the Administrator waived $335,235 which is shown as fees waived by administrator in the Statement of Operations.
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, entered into a Distribution Agreement and Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Administrator. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays BRIL ongoing service fees with respect to its Investor A Shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% based upon the average daily net assets attributable to Investor A Shares.
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing services to the Fund. The ongoing service fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing to Investor A shareholders.
The Administrator 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.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund reimbursed the Administrator the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent — class specific in the Statement of Operations:
| | | | |
Institutional | | $ | 372 | |
Investor A | | $ | 1,044 | |
Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Fund with sub-accounting, record-keeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these entities receive an annual fee per shareholder account, which will vary depending on share class and/or net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund paid the following to affiliates in return for these services, which is included in transfer agent in the Statement of Operations:
| | | | |
Institutional | | $ | 32 | |
Investor A | | $ | 271 | |
Certain officers and/or directors of the Corporation are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses the Administrator for compensation paid to the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer.
3. Income Tax Information:
US GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of December 31, 2011 attributable to foreign currency transactions, the reclassification of distributions and the sale of stock of passive foreign investment companies were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | |
Paid-in capital | | $ | (13,431 | ) |
Distributions in excess of net investment income | | $ | 21,200 | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | $ | (7,769 | ) |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | | 12/31/11 | | | 12/31/10 | |
Distributions paid from: | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,350,077 | | $ | 713,077 | |

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) | BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
As of December 31, 2011, the tax components of accumulated net losses were as follows:
| | | | |
Capital loss carryforwards | | $ | (13,583,281 | ) |
Net unrealized gains1 | | | 6,729,099 | |
Qualified late-year losses2 | | | (322 | ) |
Total | | $ | (6,854,504 | ) |
| | |
| 1 | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, the treatment of certain security lending transactions, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on certain futures contracts and other temporary differences. |
|
| 2 | The Fund has elected to defer certain late-year losses and recognize such losses in the year ending December 31, 2012. |
As of December 31, 2011, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration date as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund |
To the Shareholders of BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund and Board of Directors of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund, one of the series constituting BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the “Fund”), as of December 31, 2011, 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. 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 Small Cap Index Fund, one of the series constituting BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

• | For Series compliance purposes, the Series’industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Series management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such industry sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
| | |
• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
| | |
| • | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
| | |
| • | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| | |
| • | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Series’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
| | |
| Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. 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 does not necessarily correspond to the Series’ perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Series’ policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of December 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Series’ investments and derivative financial instruments: |

Notes to Financial Statements | Master Small Cap Index Series |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
Master Small Cap Index Series (the “Series”), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is a series of Quantitative Master Series LLC (the “Master LLC”). The Master LLC is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company. The Master LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement permits the Board of Directors of the Master LLC (the “Board”) to issue nontransferable interests, subject to certain limitations. The Series’ 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 and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Series would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Series fair values its financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. 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 Series values its investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s 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 Series may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued 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 investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that the Series might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Series either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), the Series will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its 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, each party to such transactions has requirements to deliver/deposit securities 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 Series is 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.
Securities Lending: The Series 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, 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 Series and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Series on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statement of

| |
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Small Cap Index Series |
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 Series earns dividend or interest income on the securities loaned but does 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. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Series could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Series 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 December 31, 2011, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.
Income Taxes: The Series is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Series is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Series. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Series’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Series can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Series files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Series’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended December 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on the Series’ 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 Standard: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Series’ financial statement disclosures.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance that will enhance 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 agreements or similar agreements and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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 of this guidance on the Series’ financial statement disclosures.
Other: Expenses directly related to the Series are charged to the Series. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Series has 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 Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Series engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Series and to economically hedge, or protect, its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange.
Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Series purchases or sells 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 Series and 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, 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. Pursuant to the contract, the Series 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 margin variation and are recorded by the Series as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference

| |
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | Master Small Cap Index Series |
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.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but Barclays is not.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Series’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Series’ portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Series. For such services, the Series pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.01% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
The Manager entered into a contractual arrangement with the Master LLC with respect to the Series under which the Manager will waive and/or reimburse its fees and/or expenses so that the total annual operating expenses incurred by the Series (excluding interest expense, acquired fund fees and certain other Series’ expenses) will not exceed 0.08% of the average daily value of the Series’ net assets. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to May 1, 2012 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent directors. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Manager waived and/or reimbursed $88,527, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Series pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Series’ investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Manager waived $4,812, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by advisor in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Series to the Manager.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Series reimbursed the Manager $5,446 for certain accounting services, which is included in accounting services in the Statement of Operations.
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Series, invest cash collateral received by the Series for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral, if applicable, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The share of income earned by the Series on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2011, BIM received $290,249 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Series.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Master LLC are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates.

4. Investments:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2011, were $371,105,816 and $139,139,069, respectively.
5. Borrowings:
The Master LLC, on behalf of the Series, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates, is a party to a $500 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, which expired in November 2011. The Series may borrow under the credit agreement to fund shareholder redemptions. Effective November 2010, the credit agreement had the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2010. Effective November 2011, the credit agreement was renewed until November 2012 with the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.065% per annum based on the Series’ pro rata share of the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. In addition, the Series paid administration and arrangement fees which were allocated to the Series based on its net assets as of October 31, 2011. The Series did not borrow under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2011.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Series may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Series; 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 Series may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Series manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Series to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Series’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Series’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Series.
As of December 31, 2011, the Series invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the energy sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the energy sector would have a greater impact on the Series and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
7. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Master LLC’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 Master LLC 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 Master LLC’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 December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 Master Small Cap Index Series, one of the portfolios constituting Quantitative Master Series LLC as of December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

| (e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
| |
| Each Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrants on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the registrant’s Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to a registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels. |
| |
| Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the registrant’s Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels. |
| |
| (e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by either Committee pursuant to the de minimus exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
| |
| (f) Not Applicable |
| (g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrants, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were: |
Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
BlackRock International Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. | $11,600 | $16,923 |
BlackRock S&P 500 Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. | $12,350 | $17,206 |
BlackRock Small Cap Index Fund of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. | $13,700 | $16,894 |

Master S&P 500 Index Series of Quantitative Master Series LLC | $31,900 | $27,777 |

| Additionally, SAS No. 70 fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $3,030,000 and $2,950,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser. |
| |
| (h) Each Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
