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.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (6/16/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the 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”). The Index measures the performance of the U.S. equity broad market. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 3.19%, while the Index returned 3.30%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging many economists’ expectations. The annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2004 was a more encouraging 3.7%, but still fell short of forecasts as increased consumer spending was offset by slower paces for both inventory building and exports. Oil prices soared during the reporting period, reaching $55 per barrel in late October. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

Although the Index’s overall performance was moderate, the performances of underlying sectors within the Index were more divided. In general, utilities and energy-related companies benefited largely from higher oil and gas prices, and increased economic activity tended to help the industrials and materials sectors. The healthcare and consumer staples sectors, on the other hand, did not perform as well for the reporting period. Both of these sectors are less sensitive to economic conditions, so they generally underperform more cyclically sensitive stocks in a recovering economic environment.

 

Accordingly, performance for the reporting period was mixed among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004. Diversified oil company Exxon Mobil Corp. was the top performer among the ten largest holdings in the Fund. General Electric Co., the Fund’s largest holding as of October 31, 2004, also performed well. Bank of America Corp. and healthcare company Johnson & Johnson both posted gains. On the negative side, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. declined for the reporting period, as did Citigroup Inc. and discount retailing company Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

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.

 

Certain sectors and markets performed exceptionally well based on market conditions during the one-year period. Investors should not expect that such exceptional returns will be repeated.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated.

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”). The Index measures the performance of the energy sector of the U.S. equity market and includes companies in the oil drilling (equipment and services), oil companies (major and secondary), coal and pipelines industry sub-groups. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 17.76%, while the Index returned 17.92%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging many economists’ expectations. The annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2004 was a more encouraging 3.7%, but still fell short of forecasts as increased consumer spending was offset by slower paces for both inventory building and exports. Oil prices soared during the reporting period, reaching $55 per barrel in late October. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

For energy-related stocks, the largest factor driving performance was the upswing in oil prices. The reporting period began with oil prices at around $38 per barrel, and increased to $55 in late October, which represented a jump of approximately 50% in only six months. The higher prices helped fuel revenues for virtually all types of companies held by the Fund, particularly service and exploration companies.

 

All of the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004 posted gains for the reporting period, benefiting largely from higher oil prices. Oil service and exploration companies delivered some of the best performances, with Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and Apache Corp. both logging strong gains. Burlington Resources Inc. also performed well for the reporting period. Diversified oil company Exxon Mobil Corp., the Fund’s largest holding as of October 31, 2004, logged gains, as did ChevronTexaco Corp. and ConocoPhillips.

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”). The Index measures the performance of the healthcare sector of the U.S. equity market and includes companies in the health care providers, biotechnology, medical supplies, advanced medical devices and pharmaceuticals industry sub-groups. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund declined 7.06%, while the Index declined 6.77%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging many economists’ expectations. The annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2004 was a more encouraging 3.7%, but still fell short of forecasts as increased consumer spending was offset by slower paces for both inventory building and exports. Oil prices soared during the reporting period, reaching $55 per barrel in late October. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

Although healthcare companies overall declined for the reporting period, performance was divided within the sector. In general, large pharmaceutical companies posted double-digit losses, generally due to competition by generic drug makers. Generic drug makers, biotechnology and medical technology companies, on the other hand, generally posted modest gains, continuing to benefit from renewed investor interest in growth-related stocks.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, performance was mixed for the reporting period. Pharmaceutical giants Merck & Co. Inc., Eli Lilly & Co., and Pfizer Inc. (the Fund’s largest holding as of October 31, 2004) all declined. Healthcare companies UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Johnson & Johnson, on the other hand, delivered gains. Generic drug company Wyeth also gained, as did Abbott Laboratories. Medical device company Medtronic Inc. posted a slight gain for the reporting period.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 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”). The Index measures the performance of the technology sector of the U.S. equity market and includes companies in the diversified technology services, computer software, communications technology, office equipment, semiconductors and internet services industry sub-groups. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 2.20%, while the Index returned 2.52%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging many economists’ expectations. The annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2004 was a more encouraging 3.7%, but still fell short of forecasts as increased consumer spending was offset by slower paces for both inventory building and exports. Oil prices soared during the reporting period, reaching $55 per barrel in late October. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

Technology stocks generally delivered lackluster performance for the reporting period. During the reporting period, businesses spent less on computers and related equipment than they had in recent reporting periods, hurting some companies in the technology sector. On the other hand, investor interest in growth-related areas such as technology appeared to increase as economic conditions improved, helping the share prices of some technology stocks.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, performance was divided. Internet services company Yahoo! Inc. led the way with strong gains for the reporting period. Wireless communications company QUALCOMM Inc. also performed well. The Fund’s top holding Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Systems Corp. both contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. On the negative side, technology giants Intel Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc. both declined. Computer peripherals manufacturer Hewlett-Packard Co. and semiconductor company Texas Instruments Inc. also posted losses for the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (5/22/00). “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.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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.

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”). The Index measures the performance of the telecommunications sector of the U.S. equity market and includes companies in the fixed-line communications and wireless communications industry sub-groups. The Fund invests in a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 7.54%, while the Index returned 6.90%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging most economists’ expectations. The annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2004 was a more encouraging 3.7%, but still fell short of forecasts as increased consumer spending was offset by slower paces for both inventory building and exports. Oil prices soared during the reporting period, reaching $55 per barrel in late October - a new high since the New York Mercantile Exchange began trading oil in 1983. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

The telecommunications sector generally benefited from the improving economic environment. Many wireless telecommunications companies that had suffered from overcapacity issues in recent years benefited from renewed demand during the reporting period. A renewed interest in investment activity also helped the sector, as investors generally appeared more willing to return to more growth-oriented securities.

 

Regulatory restraints, such as those imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service, can restrict the Fund’s ability to hold a given index constituent at its benchmark weight, resulting in differences between the Fund’s holdings and the securities in its underlying Index. One such constraint, the 5/50 Rule, precludes the sum of all the securities weighted over 5% in a fund’s portfolio from exceeding 50% of a fund’s total assets. As of October 31, 2004, approximately 81% of the Index was represented by securities each having a weighting of 5% or more of the Index. To comply with the 5/50 Rule, the Fund was obligated to underweight several of the Index’s largest weighted constituents and to overweight others. The combined effect of all the misweights in the Fund had a net positive impact on the Fund’s return relative to the Index’s return for the reporting period.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, performance leadership leaned toward wireless communications companies. Wireless carrier Sprint Corp. (FON Group) logged healthy gains, as did Telephone & Data Systems Inc. Wireless services company Nextel Communications Inc.’s Class A shares and Alltel Corp. also contributed positively to Fund performance. Wireless carrier Verizon Communications Inc., the Fund’s largest holding as of October 31, 2004, posted modest gains for 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.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (6/19/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the 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”). The Index measures the performance of the utilities sector of the U.S. equity market and includes companies in the electric utilities, gas utilities and water utilities industry sub-groups. The Fund invests in a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 13.91%, while the Index returned 14.26%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging many economists’ expectations. The annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2004 was a more encouraging 3.7%, but still fell short of forecasts as increased consumer spending was offset by slower paces for both inventory building and exports. Oil prices soared during the reporting period, reaching $55 per barrel in late October. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

The utilities sector generally performed well for the reporting period, responding positively 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. Some utilities companies benefited from higher natural gas prices, which spiked after Hurricane Ivan caused the shutdown of several gas producing facilities in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, performance was positive for the reporting period. Power producer TXU Corp. was by far the top performer among the Fund’s ten largest holdings. Duke Energy Corp. and PG&E Corp. both delivered double-digit gains. Exelon Corp., the Fund’s largest holding as of October 31, 2004, and Entergy Corp. also performed well. The weakest performer was Dominion Resources Inc., which posted a slight gain for the reporting period.

“Cumulative 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 (11/3/03).

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (11/7/03), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

The iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones Select Dividend Index (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of a selected group of equity securities issued by companies that have provided relatively high dividend yields on a consistent basis over time. The Index is comprised of fifty of the highest dividend-yielding securities (excluding real estate investment trusts) in the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, a broad-based index representative of the total market for U.S. equity securities. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 10.50%, while the Index returned 10.66%.

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, performance was mixed for the reporting period. Banks generally were strong performers, including the Fund’s top holding Bank of America Corp. and People’s Bank, contributing positively to Fund performance. DTE Energy Co. also performed well, benefiting from higher energy prices during the reporting period, and Unitrin Inc. posted gains. On the negative side, tobacco company Altria Group Inc. declined for the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (10/6/03). “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.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

Transportation-related companies generally performed well for the reporting period, benefiting from the improving economic environment. In particular, freight transportation shipping companies benefited from higher business activity levels.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, performance was positive. Freight companies Expeditors International Washington Inc. and Yellow Roadway Corp. were the two best performers for the reporting period, followed by Ryder System Inc. C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc., which is a freight transportation and logistics company, posted strong gains. Railroad company Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. also performed well for the reporting period, as did the Fund’s largest holding as of October 31, 2004, FedEx Corp.

 

8    2004 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


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 May 1, 2004 to October 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

 

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 October 31, 2004, the Trust offered 73 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 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 Dow Jones U.S. Total Market and iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend 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.

 

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 are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded, or in the absence of any sale on the valuation date, at the latest quoted bid price. 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 the latest quoted bid price, which is 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 are valued at the latest quoted bid price, which are obtained from one or more reputable independent pricing services. If quoted prices are unavailable or inaccurate, market values are 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 are valued at amortized cost.

 

Securities held under a repurchase agreement are valued at a price equal to the amount of the cash investment at the time of valuation on the valuation date. The market values of the underlying securities are determined in accordance with the above discussed valuation methods, as appropriate, for the purpose of determining the adequacy of collateral.

 

Securities of investment companies, other than investment companies whose shares are traded on an exchange, are valued at the investment company’s published net asset value per share.

 

78    2004 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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 and iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Funds 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. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

 

As of 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

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 six months ended October 31, 2004.

 

The Funds had tax basis net capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2004, the tax year-end of the Funds, 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 six months ended October 31, 2004, certain Funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of 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 six months ended October 31, 2004 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

As of October 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 a Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Fund’s 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. As of October 31, 2004, a portion of each Fund’s 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.

 

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BGFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:

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.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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

 

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, certain Funds executed cross trades for the six months ended October 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 five 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 half-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 Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), and Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, 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 GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF are open-end money market funds available to institutional and accredited investors, including other investment companies managed by BGFA. The GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF seek a high level of income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. While the GMMF, 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 GMMF, 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 Fund in shares of issuers, of which BGFA is an affiliate, for the six months ended October 31, 2004, including income earned from these affiliated issuers.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

As of October 31, 2004, there were an unlimited number of no par value capital shares of beneficial interest authorized.

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 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 consisting 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 by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned 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 the Funds of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required, or may not return the securities when due.

 

As of October 31, 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 as of October 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.

iSHARES® DOW JONES U.S. BASIC MATERIALS SECTOR INDEX FUND

    Cumulative Total Returns

 
Year Ended 10/31/04

    Inception to 10/31/04

16.54 %   16.40 %   17.29 %   7.70 %   7.69 %   8.30 %   38.50 %   38.42 %   41.81 %

 

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.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (6/19/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the 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. 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”). The Index measures the performance of the basic materials sector of the U.S. equity market, and includes companies in the aluminum, chemicals, forest products, non-ferrous metal, paper products, precious metals, mining and steel industry sub-groups. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 10.44%, while the Index returned 10.81%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging many economists’ expectations. The annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2004 was a more encouraging 3.7%, but still fell short of forecasts as increased consumer spending was offset by slower paces for both inventory building and exports. Oil prices soared during the reporting period, reaching $55 per barrel in late October. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

Basic materials shares benefited from the improving economic environment during the reporting period. Because economic recovery tends to result in higher demand for commodities products, such as forest products and metals, companies related to the production or delivery of these products generally performed well. Companies that depend on oil and natural gas, however, were hindered by the rise in energy prices during the reporting period.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, performance was mostly positive for the reporting period. Phelps Dodge Corp. was the strongest performer among the ten largest holdings, followed by Newmont Mining Corp. Both companies are engaged in metal mining. Chemical companies Praxair Inc. and The Dow Chemical Co. also both performed well. International Paper Co., on the other hand, declined for the reporting period. The largest holding at almost 13% of the net assets of the Fund as of October 31, 2004, chemical company E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Co. posted a slight decline for 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.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (6/20/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the 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 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”). The Index measures the performance of the consumer cyclical sector of the U.S. equity market, and includes companies in the advertising, airlines, auto (parts and manufacturers), broadcasting, casinos, clothing & fabrics, consumer electronics, entertainment, footwear, furnishings & appliances, home construction, lodging, publishing, recreational products & services, restaurants, retailers (apparel, broad line, drug-based and specialty), tires and toys industry sub-groups. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 1.17%, while the Index returned 1.49%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging many economists’ expectations.

The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

Consumer cyclical stocks responded to the uncertain signs of recovery with mixed results. The discount retailers generally performed well for the reporting period, although there were notable exceptions. The aftermath of the severe hurricane season during the reporting period translated into increased demand for home improvement stores. Entertainment companies delivered mixed results and the cable companies within the group generally were poorer performers.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, Home Depot Inc., which operates home improvement stores, was a strong performer for the reporting period. Retailer Target Corp. also posted gains, as did The Walt Disney Co. and home improvement company Lowe’s Companies Inc. The Fund’s largest holding as of October 31, 2004, discount retail giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc., declined for the reporting period. Entertainment-related companies Viacom Inc., Comcast Corp., and Time Warner Inc. also posted losses for the reporting period.

The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

Consumer non-cyclical stocks, which generally tend to outperform other sectors during economic downturns and underperform other sectors during economic recovery, lagged the Total Market Index during the reporting period. As economic conditions improved during the reporting period, the sectors that tend to be more sensitive to the state of the economy outperformed many non-cyclical stocks.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, performance was mostly negative for the reporting period. Consumer products company Colgate-Palmolive Co. posted declines, as did tobacco company Altria Group Inc., as well as beverage companies The Coca Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc. The Fund’s largest holding as of October 31, 2004, Procter & Gamble Co., posted a modest decline. On the other hand, internet-based retailer eBay Inc., logged healthy gains for the reporting period, and The Gillette Co. delivered a slight gain.

Certain sectors and markets performed exceptionally well based on market conditions during the six-month period. Investors should not expect that such exceptional returns will be repeated.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (6/19/00), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate 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. Real Estate Index (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of the real estate sector of the U.S. equity market and includes companies in the hotel and resort companies and real estate investment trusts that invest in apartments, office and retail properties industry sub-groups. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 24.86%, while the Index returned 25.39%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery.

The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

The real estate sector was one of the strongest performers during the reporting period, continuing to benefit from a real estate boom. In addition, companies involved with properties such as shopping centers and public storage units, tended to respond well to the improving economic conditions.

 

All of the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004 posted gains for the reporting period. The Rouse Co., which develops and manages commercial properties, was the strongest performer for the reporting period. Real estate investment trusts Vornado Realty Trust and ProLogis also delivered healthy gains. Plum Creek Timber Co. Inc. and Archstone-Smith Trust also performed well. The weakest performer among the Fund’s ten largest holdings was Equity Office Properties Trust, which logged double-digit gains for 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.

 

Certain sectors and markets performed exceptionally well based on market conditions during the six-month period. Investors should not expect that such exceptional returns will be repeated.

 

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the 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 shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (2/2/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the 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 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”). The Index consists of selected real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The objective of the Index is to represent relatively large and liquid REITs that may benefit from future consolidation and securitization of the U.S. real estate industry. The Fund invests in a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Index. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 28.16%, while the Index returned 28.64%.

 

Broad equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index, generally posted modest gains for the reporting period. On the economic front, data continued to provide positive, but somewhat inconsistent, signs of recovery. Annual gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew 3.0% during the second quarter of 2004, lagging many economists’ expectations. The annual GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2004 was a more encouraging 3.7%, but still fell short of forecasts as increased consumer spending was offset by slower paces for both inventory building and exports. Oil prices soared during the reporting period, reaching $55 per barrel in late. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period, overall from 1.00% to 1.75%.

 

Real estate shares were generally some of the strongest performers for the reporting period, benefiting from high demand in a low-interest rate environment. In particular, the improving economic conditions translated into increased business for shopping malls, public storage facilities, and office complexes, in which REITs invest. Strong performance in these areas benefited individual constituents of the Fund, all of which are REITs.

 

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, all posted gains for the reporting period. The Rouse Co., which develops and manages commercial properties, was the strongest performer for the reporting period. Vornado Realty Trust, ProLogis, and Boston Properties Inc. also posted healthy gains. Public Storage Inc. and Archstone-Smith Trust both performed well. The weakest performer among the Fund’s ten largest holdings was Equity Office Properties Trust, which logged double-digit gains for the reporting period.

 

8    2004 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


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 May 1, 2004 to October 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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS    71


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

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 October 31, 2004, the Trust offered 73 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 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. 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 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 are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded, or in the absence of any sale on the valuation date, at the latest quoted bid price. 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 the latest quoted bid price, which is 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 are valued at the latest quoted bid price, which are obtained from one or more reputable independent pricing services. If quoted prices are unavailable or inaccurate, market values are 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 are valued at amortized cost.

 

Securities held under a repurchase agreement are valued at a price equal to the amount of the cash investment at the time of valuation on the valuation date. The market values of the underlying securities are determined in accordance with the above discussed valuation methods, as appropriate, for the purpose of determining the adequacy of collateral.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

Securities of investment companies, other than investment companies whose shares are traded on an exchange, are valued at the investment company’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.

 

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 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. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

 

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

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.

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 six months ended October 31, 2004.

 

The Funds had tax basis net capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2004, the tax year-end of the Funds, 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 six months ended October 31, 2004, certain Funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of 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 six months ended October 31, 2004 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

As of October 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 a Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Fund’s 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. As of October 31, 2004, a portion of each Fund’s 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.

 

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BGFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:

SEI Investments Distribution Company (the “Distributor”) serves as each Fund’s underwriter and distributor of the shares of each Fund, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Trust. The Distributor 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 six months ended October 31, 2004, BGIS did not receive any brokerage commissions from the Funds.

 

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, certain Funds executed cross trades for the six months ended October 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 five 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 half-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 Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), and Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, 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 GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF are open-end money market funds available to institutional and accredited investors, including other investment companies managed by BGFA. The GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF seek a high level of income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. While the GMMF, 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 GMMF, 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.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

As of October 31, 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 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 consisting 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 by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned 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 the Funds of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required, or may not return the securities when due.

 

As of October 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 as of October 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.

“Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period indicated and is calculated from the inception date of each Fund (6/28/04).

 

Each Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of such Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of each Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of each 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 shares of the Funds are listed for trading, as of the time that the Funds’ NAV is calculated. Since shares of each Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after each Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (7/2/04), the NAV of each Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in each Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

 

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike each Fund, each Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by each Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of each 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 tables 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 each Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of each Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Each Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

 

The iShares Morningstar Large Core Index Fund (the “Core Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Morningstar Large Core Index (the “Core Index”). The Core Index measures the performance of large-capitalization U.S. stocks that have exhibited both “growth” and “value” characteristics without a pronounced bias toward either, as determined by Morningstar’s proprietary index methodology. The Core Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Core Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Core Index. From its inception on June 28, 2004, through October 31, 2004 (the “reporting period”), the Core Fund returned 0.83%, while the Core Index returned 0.89%.

 

The iShares Morningstar Large Growth Index Fund (the “Growth Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Morningstar Large Growth Index (the “Growth Index”). The Growth Index measures the performance of large-capitalization U.S. stocks that have exhibited above-average “growth” characteristics as determined by Morningstar’s proprietary index methodology. The Growth Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Growth Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Growth Index. For the reporting period, the Growth Fund declined 5.08%, while the Growth Index declined 5.07%.

 

The iShares Morningstar Large Value Index Fund (the “Value Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Morningstar Large Value Index (the “Value Index”). The Value Index measures the performance of large-capitalization U.S. stocks that have exhibited “value” characteristics as determined by Morningstar’s proprietary index methodology. The Value Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Value Index that have a similar investment profile as the entire Value Index. For the reporting period, the Value Fund returned 3.52%, while the Value Index returned 3.57%.

 

The values of U.S. stocks generally remained unchanged during the reporting period as conflicting influences kept the market in check. On the positive side, corporate profit growth was strong–second-quarter earnings for the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index grew 25%, marking the fourth consecutive quarter with earnings growth of at least 20% for companies in this index. However, the favorable earnings picture was offset by concerns ranging from moderating economic growth and rising interest rates to record-high oil prices and terrorism.

 

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE    1


Six of the Core Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, gained ground for the reporting period. The top performer was home-improvement retailer Home Depot Inc., which reported strong earnings as same-store sales growth surged. Other positive performers included the Core Fund’s two largest holdings, industrial conglomerate General Electric Co. and health care company Johnson & Johnson, each of which benefited from a diversified stable of businesses. Among the declining stocks, insurance giant American International Group Inc. posted the worst results. The other three decliners were soft drink and snack company PepsiCo Inc., consumer products maker Procter & Gamble Co., and industrial conglomerate Tyco International Ltd.

 

The Value Fund also saw six of its top ten holdings as of October 31, 2004, post positive returns for the reporting period. The best results came from two energy stocks, ChevronTexaco Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. (the largest holding in the Value Fund), both of which benefited from strong demand and higher oil prices. Telecommunications provider Verizon Communications Inc. and money center bank Bank of America Corp. also posted solid gains. On the down side, pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. Inc. fell sharply for the reporting period.

 

In the Growth Fund, just three of the ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, produced gains for the reporting period. Telecommunications equipment maker QUALCOMM Inc. was the best performer, posting strong results as more of the wireless industry adopted the company’s proprietary CDMA technology. The other two positive performers were biotechnology firm Amgen Inc. and discount retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. The leading decliner in the Growth Fund for the reporting period was The Coca-Cola Co., which reported disappointing sales growth. Two bellwether technology names–semiconductor manufacturer Intel Corp. and network equipment maker Cisco Systems Inc.–were also among the weakest performers for the reporting period.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE    3


The Core Fund’s ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, posted mixed results, with six gaining and four declining for the reporting period. The best performer was mechanical parts manufacturer Parker Hannifin Corp., which raised its estimate of future company earnings substantially as industrial demand for its products soared. The Core Fund’s largest holding, agricultural products maker Monsanto Co., was another top performer that rallied after increasing its profit outlook. Among the decliners, semiconductor maker Micron Technology Inc. and department store chain J.C. Penney Co. Inc. suffered the largest losses for the reporting period.

 

The Value Fund saw just one of its top ten holdings as of October 31, 2004, decline for the reporting period–property insurer St. Paul Travelers Companies Inc., the Value Fund’s largest holding. Damage claims from an unusually devastating hurricane season weighed on the company’s earnings. On the positive side, the top performer among the Value Fund’s ten largest holdings was railroad company Norfolk Southern Corp., which benefited from increased traffic and exposure to the energy and industrial sectors of the economy. Oil refiner Valero Energy Corp. and electric utility PPL Corp. also posted solid gains as strong demand and rising energy prices boosted earnings.

 

In the Growth Fund, eight of the ten largest holdings as of October 31, 2004, gained ground for the reporting period. Computer maker and top holding Apple Computer Inc. produced the best results, benefiting from the success of its digital music division. Other positive performers included offshore oil driller Transocean Inc., which rose as global demand for oil soared, and credit research firm Moody’s Corp., which reported strong growth in its research business. The two decliners among the top ten holdings were pharmacy benefits manager Caremark Rx Inc., and semiconductor equipment maker KLA-Tencor Corp., which was hurt by weak demand for computer chips.

Each of the Value Fund’s top ten holdings as of October 31, 2004, posted positive results for the reporting period.

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 June 28, 2004 (inception date of the Funds) to October 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.

The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. Each of the Funds is classified as a diversified fund under the 1940 Act, except for the iShares Morningstar Large Core, iShares Morningstar Large Growth and iShares Morningstar Large Value Index Funds, which are classified as non-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.

 

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 are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded, or in the absence of any sale on the valuation date, at the latest quoted bid price. 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 the latest quoted bid price, which is 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 are valued at the latest quoted bid price, which are obtained from one or more reputable independent pricing services. If quoted prices are unavailable or inaccurate, market values are 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 are valued at amortized cost.

 

Securities held under a repurchase agreement are valued at a price equal to the amount of the cash investment at the time of valuation on the valuation date. The market values of the underlying securities are determined in accordance with the above discussed valuation methods, as appropriate, for the purpose of determining the adequacy of collateral.

 

Securities of investment companies, other than investment companies whose shares are traded on an exchange, are valued at the investment company’s published net asset value per share.

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    83


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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.

 

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. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of 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 period ended October 31, 2004.

 

For the period ended October 31, 2004, the iShares Morningstar Small Core Index Fund realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Fund, 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 Fund’s tax year. This reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The in-kind gains or losses for the period ended October 31, 2004 are disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

 

As of October 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 a Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Fund’s 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. As of October 31, 2004, a portion of each 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.

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 period ended October 31, 2004, BGIS did not receive any brokerage commissions from the Funds.

 

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, each Fund invested in the Institutional Shares of the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), and Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, 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 GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF are open-end money market funds available to institutional and accredited investors, including other investment companies managed by BGFA. The GMMF, IMMF, and PMMF seek a high level of income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. While the GMMF, 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 GMMF, 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 Fund in shares of issuers, of which BGFA is an affiliate, for the period ended October 31, 2004, including income earned from these affiliated issuers.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

As of October 31, 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.

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    87


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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 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 consisting 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 by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned 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 the Funds of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required, or may not return the securities when due.

 

As of October 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 October 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.
