Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of each Fund (7/22/02 for the iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Treasury, iShares Lehman 7-10 Year Treasury and iShares Lehman 20+ Year Treasury Bond Funds; 1/5/07 for the iShares Lehman Short Treasury, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury and iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Funds; and 12/4/03 for the iShares Lehman TIPS Bond Fund). “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.

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 the 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 (7/26/02 for the iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Treasury, iShares Lehman 7-10 Year Treasury and iShares Lehman 20+ Year Treasury Bond Funds; 1/11/07 for the iShares Lehman Short Treasury, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury and iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Funds; and 12/5/03 for the iShares Lehman TIPS Bond Fund), 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, an 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.

Performance figures assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike each Fund, an 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. Each Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

As of the fiscal year ended 2/28/07, the iShares Lehman Short Treasury, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury and iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Funds did not have six months of performance and therefore line graphs are not presented.

The iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the short-term sector of the United States Treasury market as defined by the Lehman Brothers Short U.S. Treasury Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which has a similar investment profile as the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the period from the Fund’s inception on January 5, 2007 through February 28, 2007, the Fund returned 0.72%, while the Index returned 0.73%.

Moderate economic growth and declining inflation helped U.S. bonds post solid gains for the twelve-month period ended February 28, 2007 (the “reporting period”). Although the U.S. economy grew by 3.3% in 2006 – slightly ahead of the 3.2% growth rate in 2005 – economic activity slowed markedly as the year progressed. After growing at a robust 5.6% annualized rate in the first quarter of 2006, the economy slowed to a 2.6% annualized growth rate in the second quarter and a 2.1% annualized growth rate over the last six months of the year. One of the largest drags on the economy was a substantial slump in the housing market. According to government reports, existing home sales declined by 8.4% in 2006 from 2005, while new home sales fell by 17.3% and new residential construction was down 14.9%.

Inflation also eased during the reporting period. The consumer price index rose by 2.4% over the past year, down significantly from a 3.6% increase for the previous 12 months. The key factors behind the lower inflation rate included a 1% decrease in energy prices – including a 10% drop in the last six months – and a 0.6% decline in transportation costs.

With both economic growth and inflation appearing to be on the wane, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) ended its series of short-term interest rate increases during the second half of the reporting period. The Fed raised its federal funds rate three times between February and June 2006 – for a total of 17 rate hikes since June 2004 – and then held steady for the remainder of the reporting period.

Despite the generally favorable economic environment, the bond market experienced an increase in volatility during the reporting period. Bonds fell early in the period in response to a spike in energy prices and the Fed’s additional rate hikes. The bond market started to rebound in the second half of 2006 as the economy appeared to show signs of slower, more controlled growth, but strong economic data at the end of the year sparked another decline amid fears of potential inflation. Bonds regained their footing again in February 2007, rallying sharply in response to lower economic growth figures reported for the fourth quarter of 2006 and further evidence of weakness in the housing market.

For the reporting period as a whole, however, Treasury bond yields changed little from their levels at the beginning of the period. The two-year Treasury note yield fell from 4.69% to 4.65% during the reporting period, while the 10-year Treasury bond yield edged up from 4.55% to 4.56%. The longest-term Treasuries (maturing in 20 years or more) saw their yields rise during the reporting period, causing them to under-perform short- and intermediate-term Treasury securities.

Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”) also posted positive results, but lagged the nominal Treasury market. In part, the underperformance of TIPS reflected the lower inflation rate, which reduced the inflation adjustments to the principal value of the bonds. In addition, demand for the inflation protection provided by TIPS declined as the Fed provided reassurances that the long-term prospects for inflation remained well contained.

For the two-month period ended February 28, 2007, U.S. bonds posted positive returns despite some notable volatility. The bond market lost ground in January 2007 as strong economic data led to concerns about the possibility of more short-term interest rate hikes by the Fed. In particular, the initial estimate of U.S. economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2006 came in at a robust 3.5% annualized rate. In February 2007, however, the bond market reversed course, enjoying its best month of performance since August 2004. The catalysts for the bond market rally appeared to include a slumping stock market, a sharp downward revision to fourth-quarter economic growth (to a 2.2% annualized rate), and further weakness in the housing market, including the biggest monthly drop-off in new home sales since 1994.

Treasury bonds rallied during the two-month period ended February 28, 2007, as yields fell equally across the maturity spectrum. For example, the two-year Treasury note yield fell from 4.76% to 4.65%, while the 10-year Treasury bond yield dipped from 4.65% to 4.56%. Longer-term bonds generally performed better than short- and intermediate-term bonds thanks to their greater interest rate sensitivity, which produced more price appreciation as bond yields declined.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

As a shareholder of a 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 September 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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 February 28, 2007, the Trust offered 101 investment portfolios or funds.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund, iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Fund, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury Bond Fund, iShares Lehman 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Fund, iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Fund, iShares Lehman 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund and iShares Lehman TIPS Bond Fund (each, a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”). The iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury Bond Fund and iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Fund commenced operations on January 5, 2007.

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. The investment advise ruses 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 Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury Bond Fund and iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Fund, which are classified as non-diversified funds. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities 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.

Pursuant to 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.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 the 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Those reclassifications had no impact on the prior year net assets, net income or distributions.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities and other assets of each Fund are generally valued using market valuations. A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer), (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer) or (iii) based on amortized cost. In the case of shares of funds that are not traded on an exchange, a market valuation means such fund’s published net asset value per share. The investment adviser may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service. A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation. In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current market values, the affected investments will be valued using fair value pricing pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. The Funds amortize premiums and accrete discounts on debt securities purchased, using a constant yield to maturity method.

The inflation-protected public obligations held by the iShares Lehman TIPS Bond Fund are income-generating instruments whose interest and principal payments are adjusted for inflation (or deflation). The inflation (deflation) adjustment is applied to the principal of each bond on a monthly basis and is accounted for as interest income in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least monthly by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed at least 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 February 28, 2007, the tax year-end of the Funds, the components of net distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

iShares Bond Fund    Undistributed

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its net income and any net gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the year ended February 28, 2007.

From November 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007, the Funds incurred net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Funds have elected to defer those losses and treat them as arising in the year ending February 29, 2008, as follows:

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

For the year ended February 28, 2007, 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 net realized in-kind gains or losses for the year ended February 28, 2007 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

As of February 28, 2007, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the 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.

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.

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:

 

iShares Bond Fund    Investment
Advisory Fee
 

Lehman Short Treasury

   0.15 %

Lehman 1-3 Year Treasury

   0.15  

Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury

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

SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“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.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Funds are permitted to lend portfolio securities to Barclays Capital Inc. (“BarCap”). Pursuant to the same exemptive order, Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) serves as securities lending agent for the Trust. BarCap and BGI are affiliates of BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser. As securities lending agent,

Each Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF 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, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Funds from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Funds from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

As of February 28, 2007, certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BGI and/or BGFA.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of February 28, 2007, there were an unlimited number of no par value capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust. Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities involved in the relevant Fund’s underlying index and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury Bond Fund and iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Fund pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to Investors Bank, the administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

As of February 28, 2007, the iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Fund had two short positions as a result of an in-kind redemption. The obligation to deliver the securities is recorded as a liability on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is equal to the current market value of the securities to be delivered. Any market fluctuations between the value of the obligation to sell these securities and the current market value are reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Details of the short positions resulting from an in-kind redemption by the Fund are included in its Schedule of Investments.

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 plus the interest accrued on such securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan plus accrued interest, if any. 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 February 28, 2007, the Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the cash collateral received was invested in a joint account with other investment funds managed by BGFA. The joint account invests in securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less, repurchase agreements and money market mutual funds, including

 

70

  2007 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

money market funds managed by BGFA. Repurchase agreements held in the joint account are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities or non-U.S. Government debt securities. The market value of the securities on loan as of February 28, 2007 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to BGI as securities lending agent.

6. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The SEC staff has stated that it would not object if a fund does not implement FIN 48 in its NAV calculation until the date of the fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

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

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

The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the iShares Funds included in this report except for the iShares Lehman Short Treasury, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury and iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Funds. The information shown for each Fund is for five calendar years (or for each full calendar quarter completed after the inception date of such Fund if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. Information for the iShares Lehman Short Treasury, iShares Lehman 3-7 Year Treasury and iShares Lehman 10-20 Year Treasury Bond Funds is not presented as these Funds did not commence operations until after the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. The specific periods covered for each Fund are disclosed in the table for such Fund.

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

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

iSHARES® LEHMAN CREDIT BOND FUNDS

Performance as of February 28, 2007

 

     Cumulative Total Returns
      Inception to 2/28/07
iSHARES BOND FUND    NAV   MARKET   INDEX

Lehman 1-3 Year Credit

   0.97%   1.21%   0.99%

Lehman Intermediate Credit

   1.27%   1.56%   1.35%

   1.48%   1.95%   1.52%

“Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated, and are calculated from an inception date of 1/5/07.

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 the 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 the Funds’ inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Funds (1/11/07), 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, an 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.

As of the fiscal year ended 2/28/07, the Funds did not have six months of performance and therefore line graphs are not presented.

The iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Credit Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the investment grade credit sector of the United States bond market as defined by the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year U.S. Credit Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which has a similar investment profile as the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the period from the Fund’s inception on January 5, 2007 through February 28, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 0.97%, while the Index returned 0.99%.

Despite some notable volatility, U.S. bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. The bond market lost ground in January 2007 as strong economic growth data led to concerns about the possibility of more short-term interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. (The Federal Reserve had raised rates 17 times between June 2004 and June 2006.) In particular, the initial estimate of U.S. economic growth for the fourth quarter of 2006 came in at a robust 3.5% annualized rate. In February 2007, however, the bond market reversed course, enjoying its best month of performance since August 2004. The catalysts for the bond market rally appeared to include a slumping stock market, a sharp downward revision to fourth-quarter economic growth (to a 2.2% annualized rate), and further weakness in the housing market, including the biggest monthly drop-off in new home sales since 1994.

The credit sector outperformed the broader bond market during the reporting period. Corporate bonds delivered the best results, reflecting their relatively high yields, while sovereign and supranational debt posted the weakest returns. From a maturity perspective, longer-term bonds generally performed better than short- and intermediate-term bonds.

“Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated, and are calculated from an inception date of 1/5/07.

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 the 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 the Funds’ inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Funds (1/11/07), 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, an 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.

As of the fiscal year ended 2/28/07, the Funds did not have six months of performance and therefore line graphs are not presented.

The iShares Lehman Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the U.S. government and investment grade U.S. corporate securities of the United States bond market as defined by the Lehman Brothers Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which has a similar investment profile as the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the period from the Fund’s inception on January 5, 2007 through February 28, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 1.09%, while the Index returned 1.13%.

Despite some notable volatility, U.S. bonds posted positive returns for the reporting period. The bond market lost ground in January 2007 as strong economic growth data led to concerns about the possibility of more short-term interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. (The Federal Reserve had raised rates 17 times between June 2004 and June 2006.) In particular, the initial estimate of U.S. economic growth for the fourth quarter of 2006 came in at a robust 3.5% annualized rate. In February 2007, however, the bond market reversed course, enjoying its best month of performance since August 2004. The catalysts for the bond market rally appeared to include a slumping stock market, a sharp downward revision to fourth-quarter economic growth (to a 2.2% annualized rate), and further weakness in the housing market, including the biggest monthly drop-off in new home sales since 1994.

The credit sector outperformed the broader bond market during the reporting period as corporate bonds delivered the best results, reflecting the irrelatively high yields. The government sector lagged, with U.S. government agency bonds posting the weakest returns. From a maturity perspective, longer-term bonds generally performed better than short- and intermediate-term bonds.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (9/22/03). “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 iShares Lehman Aggregate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the total United States investment-grade bond market as defined by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which has a similar investment profile as the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the twelve-month period ended February 28, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 5.31%, while the Index returned 5.54%.

Moderate economic growth and declining inflation helped U.S. bonds post solid gains for the reporting period. Although the U.S. economy grew by 3.3% in 2006 – slightly ahead of the 3.2% growth rate in 2005 – economic activity slowed markedly as the year progressed. After growing at a robust 5.6% annualized rate in the first quarter of 2006, the economy slowed to a 2.6% annualized growth rate in the second quarter and a 2.1% annualized growth rate over the last six months of the year. One of the largest drags on the economy was a substantial slump in the housing market. According to government reports, existing home sales declined by 8.4% in 2006 from 2005, while new home sales fell by 17.3% and new residential construction was down 14.9%.

Inflation also eased during the reporting period. The consumer price index rose by 2.4% over the past year, down significantly from a 3.6% increase for the previous 12 months. The key factors behind the lower inflation rate included a 1% decrease in energy prices – including a 10% drop in the last six months – and a 0.6% decline in transportation costs.

With both economic growth and inflation appearing to be on the wane, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) ended its series of short-term interest rate increases during the second half of the reporting period. The Fed raised its federal funds rate three times between February and June 2006 – for a total of 17 rate hikes since June 2004 – and then held steady for the remainder of the reporting period.

Despite the generally favorable economic environment, the bond market experienced an increase in volatility during the reporting period. Bonds fell early in the reporting period in response to a spike in energy prices and the Fed’s additional rate hikes. The bond market started to rebound in the second half of 2006 as the economy appeared to show signs of slower, more controlled growth, but strong economic data at the end of the year sparked another decline amid fears of potential inflation. Bonds regained their footing again in February 2007, rallying sharply in response to lower economic growth figures reported for the fourth quarter of 2006 and further evidence of weakness in the housing market.

For the reporting period as a whole, however, bond yields changed little from their levels at the beginning of the period. As a result, interest income provided the bulk of the bond market’s return.

From a sector perspective, corporate bonds produced the best returns in the domestic bond market for the reporting period. The outperformance of corporate bonds reflected their higher yields, as well as strong balance sheets and generally healthy profit growth in the corporate sector. Mortgage-backed securities also performed well, benefiting from their relatively high yields. U.S. Treasury and government agency bonds lagged, though they still posted positive returns overall.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (7/22/02). “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.

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.

The iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (formerly the iShares GS $ InvesTopTM Corporate Bond Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of a segment of the U.S. investment-grade corporate bond market, as defined by the iBoxx $ Liquid Investment Grade Index (formerly the GS$ InvesTopTM Index) (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which has a similar investment profile as the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the twelve-month period ended February 28, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 6.03%, while the Index returned 6.11%.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

As a shareholder of a 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 September 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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 February 28, 2007, the Trust offered 101 investment portfolios or funds.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Intermediate Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Government/Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Aggregate Bond Fund and iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (formerly iShares GS$ InvesTopTM Corporate Bond Fund) (each, a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”). The iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Intermediate Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Fund and iShares Lehman Government/Credit Bond Fund commenced operations on January 5, 2007.

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. 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 Lehman Aggregate Bond Fund, which is classified as a diversified fund. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities 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.

Pursuant to 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.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 the 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Those reclassifications had no impact on the prior year net assets, net income or distributions.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities and other assets of each Fund are generally valued using market valuations. A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer), (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker (or dealer) or (iii) based on amortized cost. In the case of shares of funds that are not traded on an exchange, a market valuation means such fund’s published net asset value per share. The investment adviser may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service. A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation. In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current market values, the affected investments will be valued using fair value pricing pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. The Funds amortize premiums and accrete discounts on debt securities purchased, using a constant yield to maturity method.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least monthly by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed at least 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 February 28, 2007, the tax year-end of the Funds, the components of net distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

iShares Bond Fund    Undistributed

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its net income and any net gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the year ended February 28, 2007.

From November 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007, certain Funds incurred net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Funds have elected to defer those losses and treat them as arising in the year ending February 29, 2008, as follows:

 

iShares Bond Fund    Deferred
Net Realized
Capital Losses

Lehman Intermediate Credit

   $ 13,588

The Funds had tax basis net capital loss carryforwards as of February 28, 2007, the tax year-end of the Funds, as follows:

 

iShares Bond Fund    Expiring
2013
   Expiring
2014

iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate

     4,185,823      7,993,294      68,185,543      80,364,660

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

For the year ended February 28, 2007, the 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 net realized in-kind gains or losses for the year ended February 28, 2007 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

As of February 28, 2007, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

iShares Bond Fund    Tax

WHEN-ISSUED/TBA TRANSACTIONS

The iShares Lehman Aggregate Bond Fund may purchase mortgage pass-through securities on a when-issued or to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. The Fund may enter into a TBA agreement, sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the stipulated settlement date and enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities (a “TBA roll”). A TBA roll is treated by the Fund as a purchase transaction and a sale transaction in which the Fund realizes a gain or loss. The Fund’s use of TBA rolls may cause the Fund to experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs. The Fund could be exposed to possible risk if there is adverse market action, expenses or delays in connection with the TBA transactions, or if the counterparty fails to complete the transaction.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase

agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the 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.

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.

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 and expenses are Covered Expenses as defined above.

SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“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.

Each Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF 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, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Funds from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Funds from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

As of February 28, 2007, certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BGI and/or BGFA.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of February 28, 2007, there were an unlimited number of no par value capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust. Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities involved in the relevant Fund’s underlying index and an amount of cash. In the case of the iShares Lehman Aggregate Bond Fund, a portion of the designated portfolio of securities are purchased through TBA transactions, in which case the Fund generally requires the substitution of an amount of cash equivalent to the price of the securities involved in such TBA transactions. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the Funds pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to Investors Bank, the administrator, 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 plus the interest accrued on such securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan plus accrued interest. 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 February 28, 2007, certain Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the cash collateral received was invested in a joint account with other investment funds managed by BGFA. The joint account 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 or non-U.S. Government debt securities. The market value of the securities on loan as of February 28, 2007 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to BGI as securities lending agent.

6. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The SEC staff has stated that it would not object if a fund does not implement FIN 48 in its NAV calculation until the date of the fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “FairValue Measurements. ”FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Intermediate Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Government/Credit Bond Fund, iShares Lehman Aggregate Bond Fund and iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (formerly iShares GS $ InvesTopTM Corporate Bond Fund), each a Fund of the iShares Bond Funds Series (the “Funds”), at February 28, 2007, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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

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

The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for the iShares Lehman Aggregate and iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond Funds. The information shown for each Fund is for five calendar years (or for each full calendar quarter completed after the inception date of such Fund if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. Information for the iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Credit, iShares Lehman Intermediate Credit, iShares Lehman Credit, iShares Lehman Intermediate Government/Credit and iShares Lehman Government/Credit Bond Funds is not presented as these Funds did not commence operations until after the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. The specific periods covered for each Fund are disclosed in the table for such Fund.

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

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

As of February 28, 2007, iShares Trust (the “Registrant”) had adopted a code of ethics that applies to persons appointed by the Registrant’s Board of Trustees as the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and/or Chief Accounting Officer, and any persons performing similar functions. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, there were no amendments to any provision of this code of ethics, nor were there any waivers granted from any provision of this code of ethics. A copy of this code of ethics is filed with this Form N-CSR under Item 12(a)(1).

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has more than one audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined under Item 3(b) and 3(c), serving on its audit committee. The audit committee financial experts serving on the Registrant’s audit committee are Charles A. Hurty, John E. Kerrigan, George G.C. Parker and Robert H.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The principal accountant fees disclosed in items 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), and 4(g) are for the fourteen series of the Registrant for which the fiscal year-end is February 28, 2007 (the “Funds”) and whose annual financial statements are reported in Item 1.

 

  (a) Audit Fees – The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Funds’ annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years, were $83,850 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 and $200,234 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007.

 

  (b) Audit-Related Fees – There were no fees billed for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2006 and February 28, 2007 for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Funds’ financial statements and are not reported under (a) of this Item.

 

  (c) Tax Fees – The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the review of the Funds’ tax returns and excise tax calculations, were $36,572 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 and $86,370 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007.

 

  (d) All Other Fees – There were no other fees billed for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2006 and February 28, 2007 for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in (a) through (c) of this Item.

 

  (e) (1) The Registrant’s audit committee charter, as amended in June 2006, provides that the audit committee is responsible for the approval, prior to appointment, of the engagement of the principal accountant to annually audit and provide their opinion on the Registrant’s financial statements. The audit committee must also approve, prior to appointment, the engagement of the principal accountant to provide non-audit services to the Registrant or to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Registrant’s investment adviser (“Adviser Affiliate”) that provides services to the Registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant.

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

 

  (f) None of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 were attributable to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

 

  (g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrant’s principal accountant for services rendered to the Funds, and rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser, and any Adviser Affiliate that provides ongoing services to the Registrant were $905,938 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 and $2,656,573 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007.

 

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

 

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

The Registrant is a listed issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Registrant’s audit committee members are Cecilia H. Herbert, George G.C. Parker, Charles A. Hurty, John E. Kerrigan and Robert H. Silver.
