To Our Shareholders:

 

Stock markets generally posted solid gains during the last twelve months, reversing the trend of the past several years. The uncertainty that characterized the first few months of the fiscal year, including tepid economic growth figures, the possibility of deflation, and high unemployment levels, diminished as the year progressed. Healthy quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) beginning in the third quarter of 2003 contributed to the performance trend, and declining unemployment rates in the first quarter of 2004 provided additional encouragement. While the performance of the past year has been a welcome relief, there is no guarantee that more challenging conditions will not return.

 

The iShares® Funds continue to innovate and expand, offering more tools that help investors tailor their portfolios to achieve diversity and address volatility. For example, the iShares family of funds recently partnered with the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and introduced two new funds based on NYSE indexes. The iShares NYSE Composite Index Fund provides broad-based exposure to common stocks, ADRs, real estate investment trusts and tracking stocks listed on the NYSE. The iShares NYSE 100 Index Fund offers exposure to the largest 100 U.S. companies, based on market capitalization, listed on the NYSE. Launched late in 2003, the iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Fund provides investors with exposure to fifty of the highest dividend-yielding securities in the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index. The iShares family of funds has also added the iShares Lehman TIPS Bond Fund, which provides the opportunity to gain exposure to inflation-protected government securities.

 

With the addition of these iShares Funds, investors can achieve even more diversity in their portfolios – and at lower cost, since iShares Fund fees are, on average, about half those of actively managed funds.1 With more than 85 different funds in the iShares family of funds to choose from, investors have the ability to build a diverse portfolio that covers a wide range of market segments with various capitalizations and sectors, as well as value and growth, international and fixed income securities. That is important because market segments do not tend to move in tandem, particularly in volatile markets. Economic factors, including inflation, interest rate levels, currency valuations or the price of oil, as well as the normal pace of the economic cycle, all may result in one market segment outperforming another.

 

As market conditions change, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor about what blend of investments or asset allocation can best help you meet your financial goals. We will continue to work closely with the financial advisor community to introduce innovative strategies and structures for their clients’ portfolios. To learn more about the iShares Funds, please visit our web site at www.iShares.com.

 

Regardless of market conditions, a sound, disciplined investing plan is essential. Such a plan should be grounded in key concepts: such as keeping the costs associated with investing as low as possible, managing risk and maintaining a diversified portfolio. That is why we believe the iShares Funds are an indispensable tool for investors. And that is also why more and more investors have recognized the benefits of the iShares Funds. Assets under management for the iShares family of funds continue to grow, and, as of April 30, 2004, had reached $74.2 billion.

 

On behalf of the iShares family of funds, we thank you for making the iShares Funds a part of your portfolio. We look forward to meeting your investment needs in the year ahead.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (6/12/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

 

A fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares (6/19/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

 

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

FUND ALLOCATION BY INDUSTRY

(% of Net Assets)

 

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

 

Chemicals    58.34 %
Forest Products & Paper    18.76 %
Mining & Metals    22.86 %
Short-Term and Net Other Assets    0.04 %

 

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Basic Materials Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Basic Materials Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 24.85%, while the Index returned 25.65%.

 

Equity markets generally performed well against a backdrop of encouraging economic news during the reporting period. Quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) figures throughout the reporting period revealed healthy levels of growth. Corporate earnings growth also was strong and consistent, in some cases reaching double-digit growth rates and exceeding analyst expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Because improving economic conditions generally translate into increased demand for commodities products, such as paper, forest products, and metals, basic materials shares benefited from the stronger economic climate during the reporting period. The home building growth spurred by historically low interest rates provided an additional boost for companies engaged in the production of building materials. Those companies that depend on oil and natural gas, however, were hindered by volatile energy prices during the reporting period.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was mostly positive during the reporting period. Georgia-Pacific Corp. (2.66% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which manufactures paper products and building materials, led the way with a 127.33% gain. Newmont Mining Corp. (4.92% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 38.42%, and Alcoa Inc. (9.01% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 34.10%. Praxair Inc. (4.01% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) rose 25.86%. The largest holding at 14.45% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2004, E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Co., posted a 0.99% gain after struggling during the reporting period due to volatile oil prices.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Consumer Cyclical Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Consumer Cyclical Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 22.21%, while the Index returned 22.95%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward improving economic conditions. Gross domestic product (GDP) figures for each of the four quarters during the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Consumer cyclical stocks benefited from the improving economic climate during the reporting period and the corresponding increased demand for the types of consumer goods and services that tend to be sensitive to the state of the economy. The housing boom spurred by low interest rates also translated into increased demand for home improvement products.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, McDonald’s Corp. (2.07% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) was the strongest performer with a 59.24% gain for the reporting period. Retailer Target Corp. (2.15% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) rose 29.69%. Home improvement stores Home Depot Inc. (4.79% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) and Lowe’s Companies Inc. (2.22% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 25.10% and 18.61%, respectively. The Walt Disney Co. (2.82% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 23.42%. The worst performer among the ten largest Fund holdings was Viacom Inc. Class B (3.50% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2004), which declined 10.97% during the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (6/12/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

 

A fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares (6/16/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

 

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Consumer Non-Cyclical Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Consumer Non-Cyclical Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 32.73%, while the Index returned 33.56%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward improving economic conditions. Gross domestic product (GDP) figures for each of the four quarters during the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Although the broad-based uptrend in equities translated into positive returns for all sectors during the reporting period, consumer non-cyclical stocks delivered the strongest returns of all Dow Jones sectors. In part, the performance leadership was fueled by particularly strong gains for some of the Fund’s larger holdings.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, Altria Group Inc. (10.63% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) led the way with a gain of 80.04%, followed by eBay Inc. (3.26% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which climbed 72.27% during the reporting period. The Gillette Co. (3.54% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) rose 34.38%, and food distributor Sysco Corp. (2.33% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) returned 33.14%. Colgate-Palmolive Co. (2.73% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) was the weakest performer of the ten largest holdings, with a 1.24% gain for the reporting period.

Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Financial companies performed well as economic conditions improved during the reporting period. Investment banks, in particular, were buoyed by increased equity valuations and renewed investor interest in financial markets. In addition, lower interest rates and corresponding high levels of refinance activity continued to be a boon to lenders.

 

Performance among the Fund’s ten largest holdings was mostly positive for the reporting period. Bank One Corp. (2.28% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) led the way with a 36.95% gain. American Express Co. (2.31% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) rose 29.29%, and investment bank J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (3.20% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 28.11%. Insurer American International Group Inc. (6.79% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 23.64%. The sole negative performer among the Fund’s ten largest holdings was Fannie Mae (2.49% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which declined 5.07% during the reporting period.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Industrial Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Industrial Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”) the Fund returned 26.56%, while the Index returned 26.62%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward economic expansion. Quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) growth figures throughout the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

As economic activity increased during the reporting period, so did demand for industrial production, and the types of companies that are involved in industrial production, including construction, manufacturing, and transportation companies, which tended to benefit from the improved economic climate.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was generally strong during the reporting period. Manufacturing company Tyco International Ltd. (4.13% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 75.96%. Aerospace company The Boeing Co. (2.42% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 56.49%. Machinery producer Caterpillar Inc. (2.12% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) and manufacturing company Honeywell International Inc. (2.18% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) returned 47.78% and 46.53%, respectively. General Electric Co., the largest holding at 22.28% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2004, gained 1.70% during the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (6/12/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

 

A fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares (6/19/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

 

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Financial Services Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Financial Services Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 22.91%, while the Index returned 23.68%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward improving economic conditions. Gross domestic product (GDP) figures for each of the four quarters during the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Financial companies benefited from the improving economic conditions. Investment banks, in particular, were buoyed by increased equity valuations and renewed investor interest in financial markets. In addition, lower interest rates and corresponding high levels of refinance activity continued to be a boon to lenders.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was mostly positive over the reporting period. Bank One Corp. (3.24% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 36.95%, and investment bank J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (4.55% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 28.11%. American Express Co. (3.27% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 29.29%, and Citigroup Inc. (the largest holding at 14.60% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2004) climbed 22.52%. On the negative side, Fannie Mae (3.54% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) declined 5.07% during the reporting period.

The real estate sector benefited from the historically low interest rates, which drove a real estate boom. In addition, those companies involved with properties such as shopping centers and public storage units tended to benefit from the improving economic conditions.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was mostly positive during the reporting period. General Growth Properties Inc. (3.25% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) and Simon Property Group Inc. (4.66% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which own shopping centers and malls, gained 46.22% and 31.29%, respectively. Vornado Realty Trust (2.75% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which owns office properties, returned 32.76%. Plum Creek Timber Co. Inc. (3.02% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 27.09%. On the negative side, Equity Office Properties Trust, the largest holding at 5.60% of the Fund’s net assets, declined 3.08% during the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (1/29/01). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

 

A fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares (2/2/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

 

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

FUND ALLOCATION BY INDUSTRY

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

 

Real Estate    10.75 %
Real Estate Investment Trust    89.15 %
Short-Term and Net Other Assets    0.10 %

 

The iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 24.97%, while the Index returned 25.55%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward improving economic conditions. Gross domestic product (GDP) figures for each of the four quarters during the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Real estate shares continued to perform well during the reporting period, benefiting from high demand in a low-interest rate environment. In addition, the improving economic conditions translated into increased business for shopping malls, public storage facilities, and other areas that benefited individual constituents of the Index.

 

Nine of the Fund’s ten largest holdings posted gains during the reporting period. General Growth Properties Inc. (5.43% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which owns, develops and manages shopping centers and malls, was the best performer, gaining 46.22% during the reporting period. Vornado Realty Trust (5.29% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 32.76%. The largest holding at 8.04% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2004, Simon Property Group Inc., whose main holdings are shopping malls, gained 31.29%. Public Storage Inc. (4.91% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) returned 29.98%. The weakest performer among the Fund’s ten largest holdings was Equity Office Properties Trust (7.46% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which declined 3.08% during the reporting period.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

iShares Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999. As of April 30, 2004, the Trust offered 63 investment portfolios or funds.

 

These financial statements relate only to the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Basic Materials Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Consumer Cyclical Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Consumer Non-Cyclical Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Financial Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Industrial Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Financial Services, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate and the iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index Funds (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”).

 

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, as indicated in the name of each Fund. The investment advisor uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold stocks of fewer companies than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular companies, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these companies.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

 

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

SECURITY VALUATION

 

Equity securities are valued at the last sales price on the primary securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are traded. Securities for which the primary market is the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities not listed on an exchange or national securities market, or securities for which there were no sales prices, are valued at the latest quoted bid prices. U.S. Government obligations are valued at the latest quoted bid price. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Mutual fund shares are valued at net asset value. Any securities, including restricted securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a significant event has occurred since the time of the most recent market quotation, are valued in accordance with fair value pricing policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

 

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

 

EQUALIZATION

 

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index Fund and the iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index Fund use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholders’ per share equity in undistributed net investment income

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Table of Contents

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital stock. Equalization is calculated on a per share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of repurchases of capital stock is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amounts of equalization are disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income included in the price of capital shares issued or redeemed.

 

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed once a year. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

At April 30, 2004, the tax year-end of the Funds, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

   Undistributed
Ordinary
Income


   Unrealized

     421,695      21,527,099       (2,740,145 )     19,208,649  

Dow Jones U.S. Industrial Sector

     —        (5,221,438 )     (7,351,405 )     (12,572,843 )

Dow Jones U.S. Financial Services

     324,275      3,453,422       (1,504,676 )     2,273,021  

Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate

     —        (39,922,394 )     (1,023,733 )     (40,946,127 )

Cohen & Steers Realty Majors

     —        10,934,658       (173,771 )     10,760,887  

 

The differences between the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales and dividends from real estate investment trusts.

 

For the years ended April 30, 2004 and April 30, 2003, the tax characterization of distributions paid for each Fund was equal to the book characterization of distributions paid. The total distributions and distributions per share are disclosed in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Financial Highlights for all Funds.

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its net income and any net gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the year ended April 30, 2004.

From November 1, 2003 to April 30, 2004, certain Funds incurred net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, these Funds have elected to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the year ending April 30, 2005, as follows:

Net capital loss carryforwards may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in each succeeding year, or until their respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

 

For the year ended April 30, 2004, the Funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of 50,000 or more shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the Funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The in-kind gains or losses for the year ended April 30, 2004 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

 

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Funds’ custodian or to an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. The securities are marked-to-market daily and additional securities are acquired as needed, to ensure that their value equals or exceeds the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The Funds did not enter into any repurchase agreements at April 30, 2004; however, cash collateral for securities on loan was invested in repurchase agreements at April 30, 2004. For further information, see Note 5, below.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, each Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of the Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) and Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The IMMF and PMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Money Market Master Portfolio and Prime Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are managed by BGFA, the Funds’ investment advisor. The IMMF and PMMF are open-end money market funds available to institutional and accredited investors, including other investment companies managed by BGFA. The IMMF and PMMF seek a high level of income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. While the IMMF and PMMF do not directly charge an advisory fee, the Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an advisory fee. Income distributions from the IMMF and PMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Funds from temporary cash investments or from investment of securities lending collateral are recorded as either interest income or securities lending income, respectively, in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

Due to the nature of the structure of the joint account used for the investment of the collateral for securities lending, the transactions reported for the IMMF do not include activity related to the Funds’ holding of this issuer for securities lending purposes. In addition to the transactions disclosed above, the Funds also invested in the PMMF for purposes of investing collateral from securities lending.

 

As of April 30, 2004, certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BGI.

At April 30, 2004, there were an unlimited number of no par value capital shares of beneficial interest authorized. Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of equity securities constituting a substantial replication, or a portfolio sampling representation, of the stocks involved in the relevant Fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. A purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee are charged to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

 

5. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

 

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral, which consists of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities denominated in U.S. dollars and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to a Fund of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required, or return the securities when due.

 

As of April 30, 2004, the Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in a joint account with other funds managed by BGFA, which invests in securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less, repurchase agreements and money market mutual funds including money market funds managed by BGFA. Repurchase agreements held in the joint account are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities. Income from the joint account is allocated daily to each Fund, based on each Fund’s portion of the total cash collateral received. The market value of the securities on loan at April 30, 2004 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income is presented net of broker rebates and fees paid to BGI.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

iShares Trust:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the funds comprising the iShares Dow Jones Index Funds and the iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index Fund (the “Funds”), as listed on the table of contents, at April 30, 2004, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The tables that follow present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of an iShares Fund and that Fund’s net asset value. Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per share at which each Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of each iShares Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of such Fund is listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Each Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of each Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

 

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

 

The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the iShares Funds included in this report. The information shown for each Fund is for each full calendar quarter completed after the inception date of such Fund through March 31, 2004, the date of the most recent calendar quarter end. The specific periods covered for each Fund are disclosed in the table for such Fund.

 

Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the iShares Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

To Our Shareholders:

 

Stock markets generally posted solid gains during the last twelve months, reversing the trend of the past several years. The uncertainty that characterized the first few months of the fiscal year, including tepid economic growth figures, the possibility of deflation, and high unemployment levels, diminished as the year progressed. Healthy quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) beginning in the third quarter of 2003 contributed to the performance trend, and declining unemployment rates in the first quarter of 2004 provided additional encouragement. While the performance of the past year has been a welcome relief, there is no guarantee that more challenging conditions will not return.

 

The iShares® Funds continue to innovate and expand, offering more tools that help investors tailor their portfolios to achieve diversity and address volatility. For example, the iShares family of funds recently partnered with the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and introduced two new funds based on NYSE indexes. The iShares NYSE Composite Index Fund provides broad-based exposure to common stocks, ADRs, real estate investment trusts and tracking stocks listed on the NYSE. The iShares NYSE 100 Index Fund offers exposure to the largest 100 U.S. companies, based on market capitalization, listed on the NYSE. Launched late in 2003, the iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Fund provides investors with exposure to fifty of the highest dividend-yielding securities in the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index. The iShares family of funds has also added the iShares Lehman TIPS Bond Fund, which provides the opportunity to gain exposure to inflation-protected government securities.

 

With the addition of these iShares Funds, investors can achieve even more diversity in their portfolios - and at lower cost, since iShares Fund fees are, on average, about half those of actively managed funds.1 With more than 85 different funds in the iShares family of funds to choose from, investors have the ability to build a diverse portfolio that covers a wide range of market segments with various capitalizations and sectors, as well as value and growth, international and fixed income securities. That is important because market segments do not tend to move in tandem, particularly in volatile markets. Economic factors, including inflation, interest rate levels, currency valuations or the price of oil, as well as the normal pace of the economic cycle, all may result in one market segment outperforming another.

 

As market conditions change, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor about what blend of investments or asset allocation can best help you meet your financial goals. We will continue to work closely with the financial advisor community to introduce innovative strategies and structures for their clients’ portfolios. To learn more about the iShares Funds, please visit our web site at www.iShares.com.

 

Regardless of market conditions, a sound, disciplined investing plan is essential. Such a plan should be grounded in key concepts: such as keeping the costs associated with investing as low as possible, managing risk and maintaining a diversified portfolio. That is why we believe the iShares Funds are an indispensable tool for investors. And that is also why more and more investors have recognized the benefits of the iShares Funds. Assets under management for the iShares family of funds continue to grow, and, as of April 30, 2004, had reached $74.2 billion.

 

On behalf of the iShares family of funds, we thank you for making the iShares Funds a part of your portfolio. We look forward to meeting your investment needs in the year ahead.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (6/12/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

 

A fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares (6/16/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

 

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”) the Fund returned 24.50%, while the Index returned 24.80%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward economic expansion. Quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) figures released throughout the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April. Also in April, Fed chairman Alan Greenspan announced that the risk of deflation was no longer an issue, leaving the door open for short-term interest rate increases in the future.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was largely positive during the reporting period. Technology bellwether Intel Corp. (1.44% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) led the way with a 40.07% gain during the reporting period. Insurer American International Group Inc. (1.41% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 23.64%, and Citigroup Inc. (2.14% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) rose 22.52%. Exxon Mobil Corp. (2.40% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 20.88%. The sole negative performer among the ten largest holdings was Johnson & Johnson (1.38% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which declined 4.13% during the reporting period.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Energy Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Energy Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 37.90%, while the Index returned 34.46%.

 

Regulatory constraints, such as those imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Internal Revenue Service, can restrict the Fund’s ability to hold a given index component at its benchmark weight, resulting in differences between a fund’s holdings and the securities in its underlying index. One such constraint, the “Single Issuer Rule”, generally prohibits a fund from investing more than 25% of the value of a fund’s total assets in the securities of a single issuer. To comply with this rule, the Fund was obligated to underweight its investment in the Index’s largest constituent, Exxon Mobil Corp., and to overweight its investment in ChevronTexaco Corp., the Index’s second largest constituent. Exxon Mobil under-performed the benchmark and ChevronTexaco over-performed the benchmark during the reporting period. This had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance relative to the Index’s, and was a major factor in the Fund’s out-performance of the Index by 3.44 percentage points.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward improving economic conditions. Gross domestic product (GDP) figures for each of the four quarters during the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Although oil prices finished the reporting period at roughly the same level that they had begun, they experienced considerable volatility during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the war in Iraq elevated oil prices to nearly $40 a barrel as it created instability in the region. By summer, however, oil prices had begun to drift downward as a result of resumed production in Iraq and higher inventories in the U.S. and Europe, as well as increased production in Russia. By August, the price of crude oil dipped to just over $25 per barrel. Fearing further price erosion and rising inventories, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decided to cut production by 3%-5%, beginning in November. Driven up by output constraints and a cold winter in the Northeastern United States, oil prices topped $38 per barrel in March.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was generally strong over the reporting period. Oil service and exploration companies Occidental Petroleum Corp. (4.60% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) and Apache Corp. (2.38% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 58.12% and 46.27%, respectively. Diversified oil companies ChevronTexaco Corp. (22.35% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) and ConocoPhillips (4.93% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 45.68% and 41.75%, respectively, and Burlington Resources Inc. (2.95% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) rose 45.26%. Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (2.35% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 20.68% during the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (6/12/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

 

A fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares (6/16/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

 

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Healthcare Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Healthcare Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”) the Fund returned 16.96%, while the Index returned 17.66%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward improving economic conditions. Gross domestic product (GDP) figures for each of the four quarters during the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Healthcare companies posted mixed results for the reporting period. Biotechnology and medical technology companies generally performed well, continuing to benefit from renewed investor interest in growth-related stocks. Performance for pharmaceutical company shares was divided: several pharmaceutical companies faced expirations on their patents and in turn, the threat of competition from generic drug makers. Others, however, received positive news related to drugs in their pipelines.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was mixed during the reporting period. Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc., the largest holding at 17.19% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2004, gained 16.29% and pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly & Co. (4.46% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) rose 15.65% during the reporting period. Abbott Laboratories (4.33% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) returned 8.34%, and medical device company Medtronic Inc. (3.85% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 5.70%. On the negative side, pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. Inc. (6.58% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) declined 14.65%, and Wyeth (3.19% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) fell 12.54%. Amgen Inc. (4.57% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) declined 7.98% during the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (5/15/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Technology Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Technology Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 25.89%, while the Index returned 26.63%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward economic expansion. Quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) figures throughout the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Technology stocks performed well during the reporting period. Both global PC sales and global chip sales levels climbed throughout the reporting period, spurring a rally in the previously depressed technology sector. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, chip sales in February 2004 were 30.8% higher than sales in February 2003. Adding to the sector’s gains, improving economic conditions led to renewed investor interest in technology shares.

 

Nine of the Fund’s ten largest holdings posted gains during the reporting period. Motorola Inc. (2.48% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) led the way with a 130.72% gain. Wireless telecommunications maker QUALCOMM Inc. (2.94% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 95.92%. Technology bellwethers Intel Corp. (9.75% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) and Cisco Systems Inc. (8.38% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) rose 40.07% and 39.40%, respectively, during the reporting period. Semiconductor company Texas Instruments Inc. (2.54% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 35.75%. The sole negative performer among the Fund’s ten largest holdings was Oracle Corp. (2.62% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which declined 5.30% during the reporting period.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Telecommunications Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Telecommunications Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 19.71%, while the Index returned 19.08%.

 

Equity markets generally delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates to 1.00%, the lowest level in 45 years, in a continued effort to stimulate the economy. Increasingly, signs pointed toward economic expansion. Quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) figures throughout the reporting period were encouraging. Corporate earnings announcements also provided cause for optimism, revealing both higher earnings levels and stabilizing earnings expectations. Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

Telecommunications stocks generally responded to the improved economic conditions. In some cases, the growth came from a renewed interest in investment activity. Investors generally appeared more willing to return to more growth-oriented securities again, and, for many, the depressed share prices provided additional incentive. In addition, many telecommunications companies that had suffered from overcapacity issues following the bursting of the technology bubble benefited from renewed demand during the reporting period.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, AT&T Wireless Services Inc. (4.70% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) was the top performer during the reporting period with a 113.78% gain. In February, Cingular Wireless, the United States’ second-largest wireless carrier, announced plans to acquire AT&T Wireless, currently the nation’s third-largest wireless carrier, which would transform the two companies into the largest wireless carrier in the U.S. with a subscriber base of 46 million. Wireless services companies Nextel Communications Inc. (its Class A shares constituted 4.53% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) and Sprint Corp.’s FON Group (4.58% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 61.59% and 55.43%, respectively. Verizon Communications Inc., the largest holding at 22.15% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2004, gained 0.96% during the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (6/12/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

 

A fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares (6/19/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

 

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Sector Index (the “Index”). For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2004 (the “reporting period”) the Fund returned 21.28%, while the Index returned 22.05%.

Jobless claims, which had been the last holdout in the turn toward economic expansion, finally declined late in the reporting period, dipping to a three-year low in April.

 

The utilities sector generally performed well during the reporting period, responding largely to the signs of economic recovery. As economic conditions improved, so did the demand for industrial production, which in turn meant higher demand for power. For a few utilities companies, the gains represented recovery from the scandals that had plagued the sector in previous reporting periods.

 

Nine of the Fund’s ten largest holdings posted gains during the reporting period. PG&E Corp. (3.11% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 83.71%, as the once-troubled utility rebounded from lows hit in the wake of California’s energy crisis. Power producer TXU Corp. (3.18% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) climbed 71.39%. Exelon, the largest holding at 6.33% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2004, rose 26.21%, and Duke Energy Corp. (5.49% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004) gained 19.73%. The only negative performance among the Fund’s ten largest holdings came from Southern Company (6.08% of the net assets of the Fund as of April 30, 2004), which declined 1.13% during the reporting period.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

iShares Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999. As of April 30, 2004, the Trust offered 63 investment portfolios or funds.

 

These financial statements relate only to the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Total Market, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Energy Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Healthcare Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Technology Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Telecommunications Sector, iShares Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Sector, iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend and the iShares Dow Jones Transportation Average Index Funds (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”).

 

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, as indicated in the name of each Fund. The investment advisor uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act, except for the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index Fund, which is classified as a diversified fund. Non-diversified funds generally hold stocks of fewer companies than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular companies, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these companies.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

 

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

SECURITY VALUATION

 

Equity securities are valued at the last sales price on the primary securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are traded. Securities for which the primary market is the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities not listed on an exchange or national securities market, or securities for which there were no sales prices, are valued at the latest quoted bid prices. U.S. Government obligations are valued at the latest quoted bid price. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Mutual fund shares are valued at net asset value. Any securities, including restricted securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a significant event has occurred since the time of the most recent market quotation, are valued in accordance with fair value pricing policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

 

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

EQUALIZATION

 

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Sector Index Fund and the iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Fund use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholders’ per share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital stock. Equalization is calculated on a per share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of repurchases of capital stock is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income included in the price of capital shares issued or redeemed.

 

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed once a year. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

At April 30, 2004, the tax year-end of the Funds, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

iShares Index Fund


   Undistributed
Ordinary
Income


   Unrealized
Appreciation

    Capital and
Other Losses


    Total
Distributable
Earnings

Dow Jones U.S. Total Market

   $ 399,217    $ 20,343,168     $ (5,969,124 )   $ 14,773,261  

Dow Jones U.S. Energy Sector

     —        36,197,210       (5,292,272 )     30,904,938  

Dow Jones U.S. Healthcare Sector

Dow Jones U.S. Technology Sector

     —        (65,038,047 )     (16,924,879 )     (81,962,926 )

Dow Jones U.S. Telecommunications Sector

     1,053,830      (18,329,650 )     (23,797,610 )     (41,073,430 )

Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Sector

     811,509      14,501,951       (15,351,602 )     (38,142 )

Dow Jones Transportation Average

     —        (603,835 )     (125,767 )     (729,602 )

 

The differences between the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales.

 

For the years ended April 30, 2004 and April 30, 2003, the tax characterization of distributions paid for each Fund was equal to the book characterization of distributions paid. The total distributions and distributions per share are disclosed in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Financial Highlights for all Funds.

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its net income and any net gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the year ended April 30, 2004.

From November 1, 2003 to April 30, 2004, certain Funds incurred net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, these Funds have elected to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the year ending April 30, 2005, as follows:

Net capital loss carryforwards may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in each succeeding year, or until their respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

 

For the year ended April 30, 2004, certain Funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of 50,000 or more shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the Funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The in-kind gains or losses for the year ended April 30, 2004 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

 

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Funds’ custodian or to an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. The securities are marked-to-market daily and additional securities are acquired as needed, to ensure that their value equals or exceeds the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The Funds did not enter into any repurchase agreements at April 30, 2004; however, cash collateral for securities on loan was invested in repurchase agreements at April 30, 2004. For further information, see Note 5, below.

As defined under the Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, certain broker-dealers may be deemed to be an “affiliated person” of a Fund by virtue of being a DTC Participant that owned of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of such Fund. The broker-dealers identified to be an “affiliated person” of a Fund (other than BGIS) did not execute any investment transactions with such Fund during the year ended April 30, 2004.

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds executed cross trades for the year ended April 30, 2004. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BGFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment advisor. The Board reviewed all such transactions executed during the first eleven months of the fiscal year and concluded that they were in compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7. The Board is scheduled at its next meeting to review all such transactions executed during the last month of the fiscal year.

 

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, each Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of the Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) and Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The IMMF and PMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Money Market Master Portfolio and Prime Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are managed by BGFA, the Funds’ investment advisor. The IMMF and PMMF are open-end money market funds available to institutional and accredited investors, including other investment companies managed by BGFA. The IMMF and PMMF seek a high level of income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. While the IMMF and PMMF do not directly charge an advisory fee, the Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an advisory fee. Income distributions from the IMMF and PMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Funds from temporary cash investments or from investment of securities lending collateral are recorded as either interest income or securities lending income, respectively, in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

 

Transactions in shares of issuers affiliated with BGFA for the year ended April 30, 2004, including interest income, were as follows:

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

At April 30, 2004, there were an unlimited number of no par value capital shares of beneficial interest authorized. Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of equity securities constituting a substantial replication, or a portfolio sampling representation, of the stocks involved in the relevant Fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. A purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee are charged to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

 

5. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

 

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral, which consists of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities denominated in U.S. dollars and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to a Fund of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required, or return the securities when due.

 

As of April 30, 2004, certain Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in a joint account with other funds managed by BGFA, which invests in securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less, repurchase agreements and money market mutual funds including money market funds managed by BGFA. Repurchase agreements held in the joint account are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities. Income from the joint account is allocated daily to each Fund, based on each Fund’s portion of the total cash collateral received. The market value of the securities on loan at April 30, 2004 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income is presented net of broker rebates and fees paid to BGI.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

of iShares Trust:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the funds comprising the iShares Dow Jones Index Funds (the “Funds”), as listed on the table of contents, at April 30, 2004, the results of each of their operations for the period then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Table of Contents

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

The tables that follow present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of an iShares Fund and that Fund’s net asset value. Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per share at which each Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of each iShares Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of such Fund is listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Each Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of each Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

 

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

 

The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the iShares Funds included in this report. The information shown for each Fund is for each full calendar quarter completed after the inception date of such Fund through March 31, 2004, the date of the most recent calendar quarter end. The specific periods covered for each Fund are disclosed in the table for such Fund.

 

Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the iShares Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

Table of Contents

Item 1. Reports to Stockholders.

 

Copies of the annual reports transmitted to shareholders pursuant to Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 are attached.

 

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

As of April 30, 2004, iShares Trust (the “Registrant”) had adopted a code of ethics that applies to persons appointed by the Registrant’s Board of Trustees as the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and/or Chief Accounting Officer, and any persons performing similar functions. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, there were no amendments to any provision of this code of ethics, nor were there any waivers granted from any provision of this code of ethics. A copy of this code of ethics is filed with this Form N-CSR under Item 11(a)(1).

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has more than one audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined under Item 3(b) and 3(c), serving on its audit committee. The audit committee financial experts serving on the Registrant’s audit committee are John B. Carroll, Richard K. Lyons, George C. Parker and W. Allen Reed, all of whom are independent, as that term is defined under Item 3(a)(2). Richard K. Lyons holds a PhD in Economics and qualifies as an audit committee financial expert through his many years of university-level (graduate) teaching of accounting and finance-related subjects, his many years of research in the same subjects (including mutual funds), and his extensive experience serving as independent director and as a member of various mutual fund audit committees.

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

The principal accountant fees disclosed in items 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), and 4(d) relate to the sixteen series of the Registrant for which the fiscal year-end is April 30, 2004 (the “Funds”), and whose annual financial statements are reported in Item 1.

 

  (a) Audit Fees – The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Funds’ annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years, were $126,000 and $176,000 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2003 and April 30, 2004, respectively.

 

  (b) Audit-Related Fees – There were no fees billed for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2003 and April 30, 2004 for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Funds’ financial statements and are not reported under (a) of this Item.

 

  (c) Tax Fees – The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the review of the Funds’ tax returns and excise tax calculations, were $78,236 and $86,400 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2003 and April 30, 2004, respectively. A small portion of the aggregate fees billed for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2003 were for services rendered in relation to the dissolution of the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Chemicals Index Fund and iShares Dow Jones U.S. Internet Index Fund, two series of the Registrant, which were dissolved in December 2002.

 

  (d) All Other Fees – There were no other fees billed for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2003 and April 30, 2004 for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in (a) through (c) of this Item.

 

  (e) (1) The Registrant’s audit committee charter, as most recently amended in June 2004, provides that the audit committee is responsible for the approval, prior to appointment, of the engagement of the principal accountant to annually audit and provide their opinion on the Registrant’s financial statements. The audit committee must also approve, prior to appointment, the engagement of the principal accountant to provide non-audit services to the Registrant or to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Registrant’s investment adviser (“Adviser Affiliate”) that provides services to the Registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant.

 

(2) There were no services described in (b) through (d) above (including services required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X) that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.


Table of Contents
  (f) None of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004 were attributable to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

 

  (g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrant’s principal accountant for services rendered to the Funds, and rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2003 and April 30, 2004 were $1,620,214 and $436,865, respectively.

 

  (h) The Registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser and any Adviser Affiliate that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if any, are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence, and has determined that the provision of these services do not compromise the principal accountant’s independence.
