To Our Shareholders:

 

Stock markets generally delivered positive returns during the twelve months ended July 31, 2004. Supporting market strength, economic indicators continue to improve, suggesting economic recovery and expansion. Healthy quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) beginning in the third quarter of 2003 contributed to the performance trend, and declining unemployment rates in 2004 provided additional encouragement. Corporate earnings levels also reflected improving conditions. In response to the improving economic climate, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) increased its key short-term interest rate to 1.25% at its June 30 meeting. The increase, which was widely expected on Wall Street, was the first in four years, raising the rate from a 46-year low of 1.00%.

 

Not all news was positive, though. Surging oil prices and continuing geopolitical unrest gave some investors cause for wariness. Late in the reporting period, however, additional data, including a rise in the consumer confidence level, an increase in manufacturing activity and higher business investment levels provided additional signs of an economy in recovery. While these signs are encouraging, there is no guarantee that more challenging conditions will not return.

 

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 in March, both Funds are included in this report.

 

As market conditions change, we encourage you to talk with your financial adviser about what blend of investments or asset allocation can best help you meet your financial goals. One trait many successful investors share is the ability to stay focused on their personal financial goals while ignoring market swings. Regardless of market conditions, a sound, disciplined investment plan is essential.

 

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 (3/13/01). “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 (3/19/01), 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.

The iShares Goldman Sachs Technology Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Goldman Sachs Technology Sector Index (the “Index”). The Index has been developed by Goldman Sachs as an equity benchmark of U.S.-traded technology-related stocks. The Index includes companies in the following categories: producers of sophisticated computer-related devices; electronics networking and Internet services; producers of computer and Internet software; consultants for information technology; and providers of computer services. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that are selected by the investment adviser to have a similar investment profile as the Index. For the twelve months ended July 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 8.52%, and the Index returned 9.15%.

   2004 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

As encouraging news on both the economic and corporate fronts offered cause for optimism, equity markets got off to a strong start during the reporting period. Third quarter 2003 gross domestic product (“GDP”) annual growth was reported at 8.2%, considerably higher than previous quarters and exceeding most analyst expectations. Fourth quarter 2003 annual growth was a more moderate, yet sustainable, 4.0%, followed by a 4.5% annual pace for the first quarter of 2004. Corporate earnings growth was also strong and consistent during the reporting period.

 

During the final months of the reporting period, however, returns dampened in response to mixed economic signs and continued geopolitical strife. Although some economic indicators, including consumer sentiment and capital goods spending, were healthy, manufacturing production and employment levels were less encouraging. Continued geopolitical concerns such as the Madrid bombings also dampened investor sentiment. Concerns about growth were replaced with concerns about inflation during the course of the reporting period, and investors seemingly anticipated that the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) would raise interest rates. The Fed did, indeed, raise its key short-term interest rate at its June 30 meeting to 1.25%, an increase from the 46-year low of 1.00%. Despite the increase, however, the Fed stressed that it would take “a measured approach” to further rate hikes. In late July, economic data released by the Commerce Department revealed further mixed signals in the form of a tepid 3.0% annual GDP rate for the second quarter and a doubling in U.S. business investment to 8.9% from 4.2%. The increase in business investment was welcomed by the markets as a positive sign of economic growth.

 

The top ten holdings in the Fund represented approximately 51% of the net assets of the Fund as of July 31, 2004. Performance during the reporting period was mostly positive among the Fund’s ten largest holdings. Internet and wireless-related companies tended to be the better performers during the reporting period, while some of the largest technology bellwether stocks logged declines. Internet service giant Yahoo! Inc. led the way, followed by Qualcomm Inc. and eBay Inc. On the negative side, enterprise software bellwether Oracle Corp. posted a loss for the reporting period, as did Hewlett-Packard Co. and Intel Corp.

For purposes of calculating the total return of the Index, dividends and distributions made by companies included in the Index generally are assumed to be reinvested in the securities issued by those companies. However, prior to December 31, 2002, the total returns of the Index did not reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The performance of the Index would have been higher for periods prior to that date had dividends and distributions been assumed to be reinvested.

As equity markets advanced during the reporting period, technology stocks were some of the leaders. PC sales and global chip sales both climbed through much of the reporting period. Networking stocks as a group delivered some of the strongest returns for the reporting period.

 

The top ten holdings in the Fund represented approximately 71% of the net assets of the Fund as of July 31, 2004. Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was positive during the reporting period. Research in Motion Ltd., which designs, manufactures and markets wireless solutions for the worldwide mobile communications market, logged triple-digit gains as the mobile telecommunications sector improved. Wireless giant Qualcomm Inc., the largest holding in the Fund, posted strong gains during the reporting period, as did Motorola Inc., Broadcom Corp., and Lucent Technologies Inc. The most modest gains among the ten largest Fund holdings came from technology bellwether Cisco Systems Inc.

Performance figures assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. However, prior to December 31, 2002, the total returns of the Index did not reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. 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. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

 

The iShares Goldman Sachs Semiconductor Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Goldman Sachs Technology Industry Semiconductor Index (the “Index”). The Index has been developed by Goldman Sachs as an equity benchmark of U.S-traded semiconductor stocks. The Index includes companies that are producers of capital equipment or manufacturers of wafers and chips. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that are selected by the investment adviser to have a similar investment profile as the Index. For the twelve months ended July 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 4.76%, and the Index returned 5.37%.

   2004 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

U.S. markets got off to a strong start for the reporting period, buoyed by encouraging news on both economic and corporate fronts. Third quarter 2003 gross domestic product (“GDP”) annual growth was reported at 8.2%, considerably higher than previous quarters and exceeding most analyst expectations. Fourth quarter 2003 annual growth was a more moderate, yet sustainable, 4.0%, followed by a 4.5% annual pace for the first quarter of 2004. Corporate earnings growth was also strong and consistent during the reporting period.

 

During the final months of the reporting period, market strength slowed as investors seemingly attempted to interpret mixed economic signs and continued geopolitical strife. Although some economic indicators, including consumer sentiment and capital goods spending, were healthy, manufacturing production and employment levels were less encouraging. Continued geopolitical events such as the Madrid bombings also dampened investor sentiment. Concerns about growth were replaced with concerns about inflation, and investors seemingly anticipated that the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) would raise interest rates. The Fed did, indeed, raise its key short-term interest rate at its June 30 meeting to 1.25%, an increase from the 46-year low of 1.00%. Despite the increase, however, the Fed stressed that it would take “a measured approach” to further rate hikes. In late July, economic data released by the Commerce Department revealed further mixed signals in the form of a tepid 3.0% annual GDP rate for the second quarter and a doubling in U.S. business investment to 8.9% from 4.2%. The increase in business investment was welcomed by the markets as a positive sign of economic growth.

 

The technology industry in general and the semiconductor industry in particular were relatively strong performers during the reporting period. However, the confusing economic conditions of the final months of the reporting period, as well as some cutbacks in capital spending, caused many semiconductor stocks to give back some of the robust gains they had made earlier in the period and posted more modest results.

 

The top ten holdings in the Fund represented approximately 61% of the net assets of the Fund as of July 31, 2004. Performance was mixed among the Fund’s ten largest holdings. Motorola Inc. and Broadcom Corp., which are involved in broadband and wireless-related technology solutions, delivered the most robust gains among the ten largest holdings for the reporting period. Maxim Integrated Products Inc., which designs and manufactures analog circuits, also posted healthy gains. Semiconductor company Applied Materials Inc., the largest weighting in the Fund, posted a decline during the reporting period, as did Italian-based STMicroelectronics NV.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (7/10/01). “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.

 

For purposes of calculating the total return of the Index, dividends and distributions made by companies included in the Index generally are assumed to be reinvested in the securities issued by those companies. However, prior to December 31, 2002, the total returns of the Index did not reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The performance of the Index would have been higher for periods prior to that date had dividends and distributions been assumed to be reinvested.

 

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 (7/13/01), 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.

U.S. markets logged gains during the reporting period, buoyed by encouraging news on both economic and corporate fronts.

The increase in business investment was welcomed by the markets as a positive sign of economic growth.

 

During the reporting period, natural resources stocks benefited from the signs of economic expansion. As economic activity increased, so did the demand for commodities such as paper, metals, and forest products. As low oil supply drove the price of crude oil above $40 per barrel, oil stocks gained. In general, the smaller oil service and exploration companies were the strongest performers, because they tend to be more sensitive to changes in oil prices than do the larger, diversified oil companies.

 

The top ten holdings in the Fund represented approximately 47% of the net assets of the Fund as of July 31, 2004. All of the Fund’s ten largest holdings delivered solid gains during the reporting period. Strong returns came from oil service and exploration services companies Occidental Petroleum Corp., Schlumberger Ltd., and EnCana Corp., which benefited from high oil prices. Large integrated oil companies BP PLC, ChevronTexaco Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., and ConocoPhilips also delivered healthy gains during the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (8/14/01). “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 (8/17/01), 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.

Performance figures assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector.

The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of equities in developed European, Australian, and Far East markets. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that are selected by the investment adviser to have a similar investment profile as the Index. For the twelve months ended July 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 24.81%, and the Index returned 25.05%.

   2004 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

A global economic recovery strengthened equity markets during most of the reporting period. Integrated oil and gas companies, in particular, logged gains as oil prices surged. In Europe, corporate earnings growth was revived by the improving economic conditions both at home and in the U.S. In Asia, Japan’s economy continued to strengthen. While Japan’s export market continued to benefit from economic recovery in the U.S. during the reporting period, it also enjoyed strong demand from China. In December, the Japanese government announced an increase in exports due to high demand for Japanese products. Domestically, Japan’s consumer spending began to strengthen thanks largely to improving employment levels.

 

During the second half of the reporting period, global equity markets dampened amid fears that interest rates had remained too low given the improved growth rates of many global economies. Despite the pullback, however, international equities delivered healthy year-on-year gains, boosted for the U.S. dollar-based investor by the strength of most foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

 

All countries within the Index showed positive returns for the reporting period, except for Finland, which was held down by the negative return of its major constituent, Nokia OYJ. On average, Far East countries fared better than European countries.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was mostly positive over the reporting period. Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp. was the top performer among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, benefiting from strong export demand. Integrated oil and gas companies BP PLC (United Kingdom), Total SA (France), and Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. (The Netherlands) all delivered gains, thanks to the spike in oil prices. The only negative performer among the ten largest holdings for the reporting period was Royal Bank of Scotland (United Kingdom).

“Total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period indicated and is calculated from the inception date of the Fund (3/30/04).

 

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.

Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

Unlike the Fund, the Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund.

As of the fiscal year ended 7/31/04, the Fund did not have six months of performance and therefore a line graph is not presented.

 

The iShares NYSE Composite Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the NYSE Composite Index (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of all common stocks, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and tracking stocks listed on the NYSE. The securities in the Index represent a broad spectrum of large, mid- and small-capitalization companies. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that are selected by the investment adviser to have a similar investment profile as the Index. From its inception on March 30, 2004 through July 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund declined 2.10%, compared to a decline of 2.02% for the Index.

 

At the time of the Fund’s inception, investors were grappling with a series of mixed economic data. Although some economic indicators, including consumer sentiment and capital goods spending, were healthy, manufacturing production and employment levels were less encouraging. Continued geopolitical events such as the Madrid bombings also dampened sentiment. A surge in oil prices led to concerns about inflation, and investors seemingly anticipated that the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) would raise interest rates. The Fed did, indeed, raise its key short-term interest rate at its June 30 meeting to 1.25%, an increase from the 46-year low of 1%. Despite the increase, however, the Fed stressed that it would take “a measured approach” to further rate hikes. In late July, economic data released by the Commerce Department revealed further mixed signals in the form of a tepid 3.0% annual GDP rate for the second quarter and a doubling in U.S. business investment to 8.9% from 4.2%. The increase in business investment was welcomed by the markets as a positive sign of economic growth.

 

Sector performance within the Index was mixed. On the positive side, the energy sector (10.37% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) logged the strongest gains with a return of 10.44%, mostly due to the run-up in oil prices over the course of the reporting period. The industrials sector (9.37% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) gained 4.58%, and the utilities sector (3.66% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) rose 1.56%, both benefiting from an improving economic climate. On the negative side, the information technology sector (7.16% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) declined 14.84% during the reporting period.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings at July 31, 2004, performance was mixed for the reporting period. Diversified oil companies Exxon Mobil Corp. and BP PLC delivered strong gains, thanks to surging oil prices during the reporting period. Healthcare company Johnson & Johnson also posted gains during the reporting period. The largest holding in the Fund, General Electric Co. benefited from an improving global economy and posted healthy gains. Financial stocks delivered mixed results during the reporting period, with Bank of America Corp. gaining ground and Citigroup Inc. declining.

Within the Index, seven of the ten sectors suffered declines during the reporting period. Bucking this performance trend, the energy sector (7.99% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) was the best performing sector, with a gain of 13.08%. Energy stocks generally benefited during the reporting period from increasing oil prices. Industrials (12.60% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) gained 8.70%. Information technology (6.58% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) declined 9.58% during the reporting period. The largest sector in the Index, financials (25.01% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) fell 4.53%. The consumer staples sector (13.60% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) declined 5.51% and the consumer discretionary sector (8.89% of the Index as of July 31, 2004) fell 6.29% during the reporting period.

 

The top ten holdings in the Fund represented approximately 36% of the net assets of the Fund as of July 31, 2004. Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, performance was mixed for the reporting period. As oil prices climbed during the reporting period, diversified oil company Exxon Mobil Corp. logged the strongest gains among the ten largest holdings. Healthcare company Johnson & Johnson also posted gains. The largest holding in the Fund, General Electric Co. gained ground, benefiting from an improving global economy. Financial stocks delivered mixed results during the reporting period, with Bank of America Corp. delivering positive returns and Citigroup Inc. declining.

Shareholder Expenses

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

As a shareholder of an iShares Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

 

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

I. 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 July 31, 2004, the Trust offered 72 investment portfolios or funds.

 

These financial statements relate only to the iShares Goldman Sachs Technology, iShares Goldman Sachs Networking, iShares Goldman Sachs Semiconductor, iShares Goldman Sachs Software, iShares Goldman Sachs Natural Resources, iShares MSCI EAFE, iShares NYSE Composite and the iShares NYSE 100 Index Funds (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”). The iShares NYSE Composite and iShares NYSE 100 Index Funds commenced operations on March 30, 2004 and March 29, 2004, respectively.

 

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 adviser 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 NYSE Composite and NYSE 100 Index Funds, which are classified as diversified funds. 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.

 

The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund invests in the securities of non-U.S. issuers that may trade in non-U.S. markets. This may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; lesser regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war.

 

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 that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

SECURITY VALUATION

 

The securities of each Fund for which the primary market is a national securities or commodities exchange or a recognized foreign securities exchange or commodities exchange will be valued at last sale prices on the principal exchange on which they are traded, or in the absence of any sale on the valuation date, at latest quoted bid prices. 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 or, in the absence of any sale on the valuation date, at latest quoted bid prices, which will be obtained from a reputable independent pricing service. U.S. Government securities and all other securities for which current over-the-counter market quotations are readily available will be valued at latest quoted bid

iSHARES® TRUST

 

prices, which will be obtained from one or more reputable independent pricing services. If quoted prices are unavailable or inaccurate, market values will be determined based on quotes obtained from brokers, dealers and/or based on averages of prices obtained from reputable independent pricing services. Short-term investments and debt securities maturing in 60 days or less will be valued at amortized cost. Securities of investment companies, other than investment companies whose shares are traded on an exchange, will be valued at the fund’s published net asset value per share. 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.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The accounting records of the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies generally are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at the end of each U.S. business day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Fund as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.

 

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 July 31, 2004, the tax year-end of the Funds, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

   Undistributed

   Unrealized

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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 July 31, 2004 and July 31, 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 the 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 July 31, 2004.

 

From November 1, 2003 to July 31, 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 July 31, 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.

 

The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law code, as “passive foreign investment companies”. The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company, and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such mark-to-market gains.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

For the year ended July 31, 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 July 31, 2004 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

At July 31, 2004, the aggregate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

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 Funds, 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. At July 31, 2004 a portion of the Funds’ cash collateral for securities on loan was invested in repurchase agreements as disclosed in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. For further information, see Note 5, below.

 

2. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

 

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, Barclays Global Fund Advisors (“BGFA”) manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BGFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by Barclays Bank PLC. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BGFA is responsible for all expenses (“Covered Expenses”) of the Trust, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses. Expenses related to the organization and initial registration of the Trust were borne by BGFA.

Investors Bank & Trust Company (“Investors Bank”) serves as administrator, custodian, and transfer agent for the Trust. As compensation for its services, Investors Bank receives certain out-of-pocket costs, transaction fees, and asset-based fees, which are accrued daily and paid monthly. These fees are Covered Expenses as defined above.

 

Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) serves as securities lending agent for the Trust. BGI is an affiliate of BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser. As securities lending agent, BGI receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loan of securities. For the year ended July 31, 2004, BGI earned securities lending agent fees as follows:

SEI Investments Distribution Company (“SEI”) serves as each Fund’s underwriter and distributor of the shares of each Fund, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Trust. SEI does not receive a fee from the Funds for its distribution services.

 

Barclays Global Investors Services (“BGIS”), a subsidiary of BGI, may serve as a broker-dealer for the Funds. For the year ended July 31, 2004, BGIS did not receive any brokerage commissions from the Funds.

 

As defined in 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 on 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 or on behalf of such Fund during the year ended July 31, 2004.

 

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, certain Funds executed cross trades for the year ended July 31, 2004. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BGFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. 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 in 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 adviser. 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 investment advisory fee, the Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment 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.

 

The following table provides information about the investment of each iShares Fund in shares of issuers affiliated with BGFA for the year ended July 31, 2004, including income earned from affiliated issuers and net realized gains from sales of affiliated issuers.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

At July 31, 2004, there were an unlimited number of no par value capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust. 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 traded on U.S. exchanges 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 may not return the securities when due.

 

As of July 31, 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 July 31, 2004 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, which is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations, is presented net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers.

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 Goldman Sachs Series Funds, the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund and the iShares NYSE Series Funds (the “Funds”), as listed on the table of contents, at July 31, 2004, the results of each of their operations for the period then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and their 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). Those standards 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 July 31, 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. Except as noted in the following tables, the information shown for each Fund is for each full calendar quarter completed after the inception date of such Fund through June 30, 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.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

As of July 31, 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 July 31, 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 eight series of the Registrant for which the fiscal year-end is July 31, 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 $54,000 and $77,000 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2004, respectively.

 

  (b) Audit-Related Fees – There were no fees billed for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 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 $32,400 and $43,200 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2004, respectively.

 

  (d) All Other Fees – There were no other fees billed for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 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.

 


Table of Contents

(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.

 

  (f) None of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 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 July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2004 were $1,120,831 and $483,216 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.
