Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

iSHARES® FTSE/XINHUA CHINA 25 INDEX FUND

Performance as of July 31, 2007

 

Average Annual Total Returns   Cumulative Total Returns
Year Ended 7/31/07   Inception to 7/31/07   Inception to 7/31/07
NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX
82.72%   79.24%   82.81%   42.51%   41.85%   43.21%   171.75%   168.20%   175.32%

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (10/5/04). “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. Achieving such exceptional returns involves the risk of volatility and 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 (10/8/04), 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, an 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 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 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 FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to represent the performance of the largest companies in the China equity market that are available to international investors. The Index consists of Class H and “Red Chip” shares of 25 of the largest and most liquid Chinese companies. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to 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 12-month period ended July 31, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 82.72%, while the Index returned 82.81%.

China’s market performance was robust during the reporting period, reflecting continued strong economic growth. The annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate reached 11.9% in the second quarter of 2007, its fastest pace since 1995. In July 2007, export levels climbed by more than 34% from a year earlier, their fastest pace in five months. Additionally, industrial output grew by more than 19%.

The People’s Bank of China responded to the strong economic growth by continuing to raise its key interest rate in an attempt to prevent the economy from overheating. An appreciating Chinese currency, the yuan, also helped to relieve some inflationary pressure from the surging economy. Even so, inflation was on the rise toward the end of the reporting period, reaching 4.4% in June 2007.

The ten largest holdings of the Fund represented approximately 60% of the net assets of the Fund as of July 31, 2007. Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007, performance was positive for the reporting period. Ping An Insurance (Group) Co. of China Ltd. Class H, China Life Insurance Co. Ltd. Class H and China Shenhua Energy Co. Ltd. Class H were the strongest performers for the reporting period. China Mobile Ltd. also performed strongly, as did China Construction Bank Class H. The most modest return among the Fund’s ten largest holdings came from PetroChina Co. Ltd. Class H.

The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”). The Index has been developed by Morgan Stanley Capital International, Inc. as an equity benchmark for international stock performance. The Index includes stocks from Europe, Australasia and the Far East. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to 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 12-month period ended July 31, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 23.75%, while the Index returned 23.91%.

International markets generally delivered solid gains for the reporting period, driven by sound global economic growth. Around the world, strong demand, relatively low inflation levels, and improving employment rates supported economic growth. Healthy economic growth in Europe led the European Central Bank to raise rates five times during the reporting period. Germany registered annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 3% for the first calendar quarter of 2007, its highest rate since 2000. France also witnessed economic expansion, although GDP growth in France slowed for the second quarter as business investment slipped. In the United Kingdom, sound economic growth and declining unemployment rates led the Bank of England to raise its base rate during the reporting period from 4.50% to 5.75%, its highest rate in six years.

Japan, which appeared to emerge from its long-standing deflationary environment, also experienced economic expansion. The Bank of Japan raised rates once during the reporting period, from 0.25% to 0.50%. However, at its July 2007 meeting, the Bank of Japan held rates steady, saying it would await additional evidence that economic growth would be sustained and inflation would take hold.

The ten largest holdings of the Fund represented approximately 12% of the net assets of the Fund as of July 31, 2007. Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007, performance was mostly positive for the reporting period. Wireless telecommunications company Vodafone Group PLC (United Kingdom) was the strongest performer among the ten largest holdings. High energy prices benefited Total SA (France) and the Class A shares of Royal Dutch Shell PLC (United Kingdom). Toyota Motor Corp. (Japan) and Nestle SA (Switzerland) also performed well. Pharmaceutical companies Novartis AG (Switzerland) and GlaxoSmithKline PLC (United Kingdom) both declined for the reporting period.

France also witnessed economic expansion, although GDP growth in France slowed for the second quarter as business investment slipped. In the United Kingdom, sound economic growth and declining unemployment rates led the Bank of England to raise its base rate during the reporting period from 4.50% to 5.75%, its highest rate in six years.

Japan, which appeared to emerge from its long-standing deflationary environment, also experienced economic expansion. The Bank of Japan raised rates once during the reporting period, from 0.25% to 0.50%. However, at its July 2007 meeting, the Bank of Japan held rates steady, saying it would await additional evidence that economic growth would be sustained and inflation would take hold.

The ten largest holdings of the Fund represented approximately 23% of the net assets of the Fund as of July 31, 2007. Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007, performance was positive for the reporting period. Wireless telecommunications company Vodafone Group PLC (United Kingdom) was the strongest performer among the ten largest holdings. Banco Santander Central Hispano SA (Spain) also posted sound gains. Total SA (France) and Nestle SA (Switzerland) both performed well, as did Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (United Kingdom). The Fund’s largest holding at July 31, 2007, oil company BP PLC (United Kingdom), posted a slight gain for the reporting period.

Table of Contents

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 February 1, 2007 to July 31, 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 July 31, 2007, the Trust offered 111 investment portfolios or funds.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25, iShares MSCI EAFE, iShares MSCI EAFE Growth and iShares MSCI EAFE Value 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. 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 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.

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

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 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.

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”).

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  51


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

Investments that may be valued using fair value pricing include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (i.e., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (i.e., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Fund’s NAV is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism, and significant market fluctuations.

Valuing a Fund’s investments using fair value pricing will result in using prices for those investments that may differ from current market valuations. Accordingly, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s benchmark index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, and interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

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

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed once a year. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

For the years ended July 31, 2007 and July 31, 2006, the tax characterization of distributions paid for each Fund was equal to the book characterization of distributions paid. The total distributions and distributions per share are disclosed in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Financial Highlights for all Funds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its net income and any net gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the year ended July 31, 2007.

Certain Funds had tax basis net capital loss carryforwards as of July 31, 2007, the tax year-end of the Funds, as follows:

 

iShares Index Fund   

Expiring

MSCI EAFE

     26,679,808      150,352           26,830,160

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

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

For the year ended July 31, 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 July 31, 2007 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

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

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

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 deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes a substantial replication, or 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 pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street, 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 for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to the Funds of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due.

During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Funds received cash as collateral for securities loaned. The cash collateral received was invested in a joint account and in the Premier Fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a portion of 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 are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or non-U.S. government debt securities. The Premier Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of high-quality, short-term fixed-income instruments, including money market funds (which may be managed by BGFA or its affiliate) and other instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition.

The market value of the securities on loan as of July 31, 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 July 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust and BGFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the Funds. As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested and BGFA provided such information as the Board deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Contract. At a meeting held on June 13, 2007, the Board approved the selection of BGFA and the continuance of the Advisory Contract, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BGFA. In selecting BGFA and approving the Advisory Contract for the Funds, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, advised by their independent counsel, considered the following factors, none of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY BGFA

The Board determined that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of BGFA under the Advisory Contract for the coming year as compared to the scope of services provided by BGFA over the past year. In reviewing the scope of these services, the Board considered BGFA’s investment philosophy and experience, noting that BGFA and its affiliates have committed significant resources over time, including over the past year, including investment in technology and increasing the number of their employees supporting the Funds. The Board also considered BGFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Funds. In that regard, the Board noted that BGFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, and has made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. In addition to the above considerations, the Board considered BGFA’s investment processes and strategies, and matters related to BGFA’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the performance of other series of registered investment companies with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (the “EAFE Fund”) for which BGFA provides investment advisory services, noting that BGFA generally performed in line with its various benchmarks over relevant periods. The Board further noted that BGFA does not serve as investment adviser for any other series of registered investment companies with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, iShares MSCI EAFE Value Index and iShares MSCI EAFE Growth Index Funds; therefore, comparative performance information was generally not available for those particular Funds. The Board also noted that the Funds had met their investment objectives consistently since their respective inception dates. Based on review of this information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BGFA to the Funds under the Advisory Contract were appropriate and mitigated in favor of the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

FUNDS’ EXPENSES AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS

The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of each Fund in comparison with the same information for other funds registered under the 1940 Act objectively selected solely by Lipper as comprising each Fund’s applicable peer group (the “Lipper Group”). In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of each Fund for the one-, three-, and five-year and “last quarter” periods ended March 31, 2007, as applicable, and a comparison of each Fund’s performance to that of the funds in its Lipper Group for the same periods. Because there are few, if any, exchange traded funds or index funds that track indexes similar to those tracked by the Funds, the Lipper Groups included in part, at the request of BGFA, mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange traded funds, and funds with differing investment objective classifications, investment focuses and other characteristics (e.g., actively managed funds and funds sponsored by “at cost” service providers). In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a detailed description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the applicable Lipper Groups and to prepare this information. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing

iSHARES® TRUST

 

comparable funds in the various Lipper Groups, the statistical information may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board noted that most of the Funds generally performed in line with the funds in their respective Lipper Groups over the relevant periods; however, certain of the Funds may have underperformed or outperformed funds in their respective Lipper Groups over such periods. In considering this information, the Board noted that the Lipper Groups include funds that may have different investment objectives and/or benchmarks from the Funds. In addition, the Board noted that each Fund seeks to track an index and that during the prior year the Board received periodic reports on the Funds’ performance in comparison with their relevant benchmark indexes. Such comparative performance information was also considered by the Board.

The Board also noted that the investment advisory fees and overall expenses for the Funds were generally lower than the median or average investment advisory fee rates and overall expense components of the funds in their respective Lipper Groups. The Board also reviewed statistical information from Lipper displaying the effects of the current breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rates for the EAFE Fund and the effects of the proposed breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rates for the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund (the “Xinhua Fund”) (as discussed below) at various assets levels of such Funds as compared to their Lipper Group. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fees and expense levels and the historical performance of each Fund, as managed by BGFA, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels and performance of the funds in the relevant Lipper Group, were satisfactory for the purposes of approving the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO FUNDS AND PROFITS REALIZED BY BGFA AND AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BGFA of the Funds based on the fees payable to BGFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contract), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BGFA and its affiliates for the last calendar year. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BGI from securities lending by the Trust (including any securities lending by the Funds). The Board also discussed BGFA’s profit margin as reflected in the Funds’ profitability analysis and reviewed information regarding economies of scale (as discussed below). Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profits to be realized by BGFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contract and from other relationships between the Funds and BGFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within the range the Board considered reasonable and appropriate.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE

In connection with its review of the Funds’ profitability analysis, the Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Funds’ assets. The Board was also presented with materials regarding the current breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rates for the EAFE Fund and the proposed breakpoints in the investment advisory fee rates at certain asset levels of the Xinhua Fund. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract did not provide for any breakpoints in the other Funds’ investment advisory fee rates as the assets of the Funds increase. However, the Board further noted that possible future economies of scale for the other Funds had been taken into consideration by fixing the investment advisory fees at rates at the lower end of the marketplace, effectively giving Fund shareholders, from inception, the benefits of the lower average fee shareholders would have received from a fee structure with declining breakpoints where the initial fee was higher. The Board discussed the substantial growth in assets of certain iShares funds, including the EAFE Fund, over the last few years. The Board also reviewed BGFA’s historic profitability as investment adviser to the iShares fund complex and noted that BGFA had made a significant investment in the iShares funds and had incurred operating losses during earlier years when the iShares funds, including the Funds, had not yet reached scale. In light of this history, the Board determined that the current breakpoints for the EAFE Fund and the proposed breakpoints for the Xinhua Fund were appropriate and warranted for these Funds but that reductions in fee rates or additions of breakpoints were not warranted at this juncture for the other Funds. Based on this review, as well as the discussions described above in connection with the Lipper Group comparisons, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue at least annually, concluded that the structure of the investment advisory fees, with

iSHARES® TRUST

 

the current breakpoints for the EAFE Fund and the proposed breakpoints for the Xinhua Fund, reflects the current sharing and potential further sharing of economies of scale with the Funds’ shareholders.

FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED FOR OTHER COMPARABLE FUNDS/ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY BGFA AND ITS AFFILIATES

The Board received and considered information regarding the Funds’ annual investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contract in comparison to the investment advisory/management fee rates for other funds/accounts for which BGFA or BGI, an affiliate of BGFA, provides investment advisory/management services, including other funds registered under the 1940 Act, collective funds and separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”). The Board noted that comparative investment advisory/management fee information was available for the EAFE Fund but not the other Funds, as BGFA and its affiliates do not manage any Other Accounts with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as those Funds. However, the Board also noted that BGFA provided the Board with general information regarding how the level of services provided to the Other Accounts differed from the level of services provided to the Funds. In reviewing the comparative investment advisory/management fee information for the EAFE Fund, the Board considered the general structure of investment advisory/management fees in relation to the nature and extent of services provided to the EAFE Fund in comparison with the nature and extent of services provided to the Other Accounts, including, among other things, the level of complexity in managing the EAFE Fund and the Other Accounts under differing regulatory requirements and client guidelines. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate for the EAFE Fund under the Advisory Contract was generally higher than the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts for which BGFA or BGI provides investment advisory/management services, but that the differences appeared to be attributable to, among other things, the type and level of services provided and/or the asset levels of the Other Accounts. Based on this review, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contract, with the current breakpoints for the EAFE Fund and the proposed breakpoints for the Xinhua Fund, do not constitute fees that are so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contract are fair and reasonable.

OTHER BENEFITS TO BGFA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed any ancillary revenue received by BGFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to the Funds by BGFA, such as any payment of revenue to BGI, the Trust’s securities lending agent, for loaning any portfolio securities, and payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BGFA and BGI in connection with any investments by the Funds in other funds for which BGFA provides investment advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services. The Board noted that BGFA does not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BGFA (including its affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the Funds. The Board further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds placed through a BGFA affiliate are reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 10f-3 and Rule 17e-1, as applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Funds’ shareholders.

Based on this analysis, the Board determined that the Advisory Contract, including the investment advisory fee rates, with the current breakpoints for the EAFE Fund and the proposed breakpoints for the Xinhua Fund, is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders to approve the Advisory Contract, with the fee schedule to the Advisory Contract as proposed to be amended to reflect the addition of breakpoints for the Xinhua Fund, for the coming year.

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 Funds included in this report. 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. 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.

iSHARES® S&P GSTI TECHNOLOGY INDEX FUND

Performance as of July 31, 2007

 

Average Annual Total Returns
Year Ended 7/31/07   Five Years Ended 7/31/07   Inception to 7/31/07
NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX
31.09%   31.25%   31.68%   13.36%   13.44%   13.92%   0.00%   0.01%   0.48%

Effective May 9, 2007, the Fund and the Index changed their names from the iShares Goldman Sachs Technology Index Fund and the Goldman Sachs Technology Sector Index to the iShares S&P GSTI Technology Index Fund and the S&P GSTI Technology Index, respectively. On June 15, 2007, S&P changed the underlying methodology of the Index. Performance shown reflects the Goldman Sachs methodology through June 14, 2007 and the S&P methodology thereafter.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (3/13/01). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

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 the 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 (3/19/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an 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 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 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 S&P GSTI Technology Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P GSTI Technology Index (the “Index”). The Index has been developed as an equity benchmark for U.S.-traded technology-related stocks. The Index includes companies in the following categories: producers of sophisticated computer-related devices; electronics networking and internet services; producers of computer and internet software; consultants for information technology; and providers of computer services. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to 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 12-month period ended July 31, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 31.09%, while the Index returned 31.68%.

Domestic equity markets delivered solid gains for the reporting period. A pause in interest-rate moves by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), sound economic growth, slowing inflation, and healthy corporate earnings levels all contributed to equity market strength during the reporting period. After raising rates eight times in the previous reporting period, the Fed held rates steady at 5.25% during the entire 12-month period ended July 31, 2007. Economic growth, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) growth, continued to be healthy. Although growth slowed somewhat in the first calendar quarter of 2007, GDP growth rebounded in the second quarter to an annualized rate of 3.4%, its highest rate since the first quarter of 2006. Inflation levels provided another source of encouraging data, as core inflation declined during the second quarter of 2007, reaching its lowest level in three years. Corporate earnings levels remained healthy and continued to exceed many analysts’ expectations. Countering those factors, a slowing housing market and concerns surrounding lenders of sub-prime mortgages weighed on market performance in the final months of the reporting period, causing the markets to give back some of the strong gains achieved earlier in the reporting period.

Performance within the technology sector was very strong for the reporting period. Computer companies, chip makers and software producers all benefited from increased levels of spending on computers during the period. Select companies within the sector also enjoyed gains from high consumer demand for innovative new products.

All of the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007 delivered double-digit gains for the reporting period. The strongest performer was Apple Inc., which introduced its popular iPhone® product during the reporting period. Cisco Systems Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. also performed well, as did computer maker International Business Machines Corp. QUALCOMM Inc. posted the most modest gain among the ten largest holdings for the reporting period.

Effective May 9, 2007, the Fund and the Index changed their names from the iShares Goldman Sachs Networking Index Fund and the Goldman Sachs Technology Industry Multimedia Networking Index to the iShares S&P GSTI Networking Index Fund and the S&P GSTI Multimedia Networking Index, respectively. On June 15, 2007, S&P changed the underlying methodology of the Index. Performance shown reflects the Goldman Sachs methodology through June 14, 2007 and the S&P methodology thereafter.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (7/10/01). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

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

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 the 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 (7/13/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

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 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 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 Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to 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.

Networking stocks as a group posted healthy gains for the reporting period as increased global demand and innovative products translated into strong performance for many companies in the group. Additionally, buyouts by private equity firms drove up stock prices for some companies.

Most of the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007 posted gains for the reporting period. Research in Motion Ltd., maker of BlackBerry® devices, delivered triple-digit gains for the reporting period, as did Juniper Networks Inc. Avaya Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. also logged strong gains. Motorola Inc. posted a decline for the reporting period.

Effective May 9, 2007, the Fund and the Index changed their names from the iShares Goldman Sachs Semiconductor Index Fund and the Goldman Sachs Technology Industry Semiconductor Index to the iShares S&P GSTI Semiconductor Index Fund and the S&P GSTI Semiconductor Index, respectively. On June 15, 2007, S&P changed the underlying methodology of the Index. Performance shown reflects the Goldman Sachs methodology through June 14, 2007 and the S&P methodology thereafter.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (7/10/01). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

For purposes of calculating the total return of the Index, dividends and distributions made by companies included in the Index generally are assumed to be reinvested in the securities issued by those companies. However, prior to December 31, 2002, the total returns of the Index did not reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

Unlike the Fund, an 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 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 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.

Effective May 9, 2007, the Fund and the Index changed their names from the iShares Goldman Sachs Semiconductor Index Fund and the Goldman Sachs Technology Industry Semiconductor Index to the iShares S&P GSTI Semiconductor Index Fund and the S&P GSTI Semiconductor Index, respectively. On June 15, 2007, S&P changed the underlying methodology of the Index. Performance shown reflects the Goldman Sachs methodology through June 14, 2007 and the S&P methodology thereafter.

Performance figures assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. However, prior to December 31, 2002, the total returns of the Index did not reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

The iShares S&P GSTI Semiconductor Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P GSTI Semiconductor Index (the “Index”). The Index has been developed as an equity benchmark for U.S-traded semiconductor stocks. The Index includes companies that are producers of capital equipment or manufacturers of wafers and chips. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to 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 12-month period ended July 31, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 19.16%, while the Index returned 19.82%.

Domestic equity markets delivered solid gains for the reporting period. A pause in interest-rate moves by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), sound economic growth, slowing inflation, and healthy corporate earnings levels all contributed to equity market strength during the reporting period. After raising rates eight times in the previous reporting period, the Fed held rates steady at 5.25% during the entire 12-month period ended July 31, 2007. Economic growth, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) growth, continued to be healthy. Although growth slowed somewhat in the first calendar quarter of 2007, GDP growth rebounded in the second quarter to an annualized rate of 3.4%, its highest rate since the first quarter of 2006. Inflation levels provided another source of encouraging data, as core inflation declined during the second quarter of 2007, reaching its lowest level in three years. Corporate earnings levels remained healthy and continued to exceed many analysts’ expectations. Countering those factors, a slowing housing market and concerns surrounding lenders of sub-prime mortgages weighed on market performance in the final months of the reporting period, causing the markets to give back some of the strong gains achieved earlier in the reporting period.

The semiconductor group as a whole delivered solid gains for the reporting period, although performance within the group was mixed. In general, demand for electronics equipment helped to drive up share prices for chip makers. Companies involved in innovative areas, including solar applications, also performed well during the reporting period.

All of the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007 posted gains for the reporting period. Graphics chip maker NVIDIA Corp. and wafer producer MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. both logged triple-digit gains for the reporting period. Applied Materials Inc. and the Class A shares of Broadcom Corp. also performed well, as did KLA-Tencor Corp. and Intel Corp. Maxim Integrated Products Inc. posted the most modest return among the Fund’s ten largest holdings, yet still produced a double-digit gain.

Effective May 9, 2007, the Fund and the Index changed their names from the iShares Goldman Sachs Software Index Fund and the Goldman Sachs Technology Industry Software Index to the iShares S&P GSTI Software Index Fund and the S&P GSTI Software Index, respectively. On June 15, 2007, S&P changed the underlying methodology of the Index. Performance shown reflects the Goldman Sachs methodology through June 14, 2007 and the S&P methodology thereafter.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (7/10/01). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

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

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 the 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 (7/13/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an 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 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 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 S&P GSTI Software Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P GSTI Software Index (the “Index”). The Index has been developed as an equity benchmark for U.S.-traded software-related stocks.

The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities included in the Index. For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 21.79%, while the Index returned 22.15%.

The software market segment generally delivered strong gains for the reporting period, amid growing global consumer and business demand for computers and mobile devices. Demand for these products, in turn, translated into demand for software.

Nine of the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007 delivered gains for the reporting period. Adobe Systems Inc. was the strongest performer, followed by Cadence Design Systems Inc. Software firms Oracle Corp. and Microsoft Corp. both performed well, as did Autodesk Inc. Intuit Inc. was the lone decliner amongst the ten largest holdings for the reporting period.

The iShares S&P GSSI Natural Resources Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P GSSI Natural Resources Index (the “Index”). The Index has been developed as an equity benchmark for U.S.-traded natural resource-related stocks. The Index includes companies in the following categories: extractive industries, energy companies, owners and operators of timber tracts, forestry services, producers of pulp and paper, and owners of plantations. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities included in the Index. For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 19.56%, while the Index returned 20.17%.

Countering those factors, a slowing housing market and concerns surrounding lenders of sub-prime mortgages weighed on market performance in the final months of the reporting period, causing the markets to give back some of the strong gains achieved earlier in the reporting period.

Natural resources as a group performed strongly during the reporting period. High oil prices continued to benefit the share prices of oil companies. In addition, increased global demand for, and low inventories of, metals drove up prices of many metals and mining companies during the reporting period.

All of the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007 delivered gains for the reporting period. Metals company Alcan Inc. was the strongest performer, logging triple-digit gains. Oil exploration and service company Schlumberger Ltd. also performed well. In addition, oil companies Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. both delivered solid gains. Valero Energy Corp. posted a slight gain for the reporting period.

The iShares NYSE Composite Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the NYSE Composite Index® (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of all common stocks, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and tracking stocks listed on the NYSE. The securities in the Index represent a broad spectrum of large-, mid- and small-capitalization companies. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities included in the Index. For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 18.10%, while the Index returned 18.42%.

The materials sector and telecommunications services sector were the two strongest performers, although combined they represented less than 14% of the Index as of July 31, 2007. Industrials and information technology both also performed well, as did energy. Healthcare delivered the most modest gains among the sectors for the reporting period.

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007, performance was mostly positive for the reporting period. The strongest performer was telecommunications company AT&T Inc. Oil companies Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. both performed well, as did General Electric Co. Bank of America Corp. and BP PLC SP ADR both declined for the reporting period.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (3/29/04). “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 the 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 (4/2/04), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an 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 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 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 NYSE 100 Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the NYSE U.S.100 Index® (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of the largest 100 U.S. companies, based on market capitalization, listed on the NYSE. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities included in the Index. For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2007 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 13.73%, while the Index returned 13.94%.

Domestic equity markets delivered solid gains for the reporting period. A pause in interest-rate moves by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), sound economic growth, slowing inflation, and healthy corporate earnings levels all contributed to equity market strength during the reporting period. After raising rates eight times in the previous reporting period, the Fed held rates steady at 5.25% during the entire 12-month period ended July 31, 2007. Economic growth, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) growth, continued to be healthy. Although growth slowed somewhat in the first calendar quarter of 2007, GDP growth rebounded in the second quarter to an annualized rate of 3.4%, its highest rate since the first quarter of 2006. Inflation levels provided another source of encouraging data, as core inflation declined during the second quarter of 2007, reaching its lowest level in three years. Corporate earnings levels remained healthy and continued to exceed many analysts’ expectations. Countering those factors, a slowing housing market and concerns surrounding lenders of sub-prime mortgages weighed on market performance in the final months of the reporting period, causing the markets to give back some of the strong gains achieved earlier in the reporting period.

All of the Index’s ten sectors posted positive returns for the reporting period. The telecommunications services and information technology sectors were the two strongest performing sectors, although they combined to represent less than 13% of the Index at July 31, 2007. Additionally, energy and industrials both performed well. The largest sector weighting in the Index, financials, delivered the most modest gain amongst the sectors for the reporting period.

Among the Fund’s ten largest holdings as of July 31, 2007, performance was mostly positive for the reporting period. The strongest performer was telecommunications company AT&T Inc. Oil companies Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. both performed well, as did General Electric Co. Pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc. and Bank of America Corp. both declined for the reporting period.

  2007 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

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 February 1, 2007 to July 31, 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 July 31, 2007, the Trust offered 111 investment portfolios or funds.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares S&P GSTI Technology (formerly iShares Goldman Sachs Technology Index Fund), iShares S&P GSTI Networking (formerly iShares Goldman Sachs Networking Index Fund), iShares S&P GSTI Semiconductor (formerly iShares Goldman Sachs Semiconductor Index Fund), iShares S&P GSTI Software (formerly iShares Goldman Sachs Software Index Fund), iShares S&P GSSI Natural Resources (formerly iShares Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index Fund), iShares NYSE Composite and iShares NYSE 100 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. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act, except for the iShares NYSE Composite and iShares NYSE 100 Index Funds, which are classified as 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 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.

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”).

Investments that may be valued using fair value pricing include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (i.e., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly

traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (i.e., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Fund’s NAV is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism, and significant market fluctuations.

Valuing a Fund’s investments using fair value pricing will result in using prices for those investments that may differ from current market valuations. Accordingly, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s benchmark index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, and interest income is accrued daily. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. 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.

As of July 31, 2007, the tax year-end of the Funds, the components of net distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

iShares Index Fund    Undistributed
Ordinary
Income
   Unrealized

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 carry forwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the year ended July 31, 2007.

From November 1, 2006 to July 31, 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 July 31, 2008, as follows:

Net capital loss carry forwards 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 July 31, 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 July 31, 2007 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

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

State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as administrator, custodian and transfer agent for the Trust. As compensation for its services, State Street 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, BGI receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loan of securities. For the year ended July 31, 2007, BGI earned securities lending agent fees as follows:

Cross trades for the year ended July 31, 2007, if any, were executed by the Funds pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BGFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

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.

Each Fund may invest its securities lending cash collateral, if any, in the BGI Cash Premier Fund LLC (“Premier Fund”), an affiliated private money market fund managed by BGFA. Although the Premier Fund is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act, it intends to operate as a money market fund in compliance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the Premier Fund.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes a substantial replication, or 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 pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street, 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 for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to the Funds of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due.

During the year ended July 31, 2007, certain Funds received cash as collateral for securities loaned. The cash collateral received was invested in a joint account and in the Premier Fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a portion of 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 are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or non-U.S. government debt securities. The Premier Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of high-quality, short-term fixed-income instruments, including money market funds (which may be managed by BGFA or its affiliate) and other instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition.

The market value of the securities on loan as of July 31, 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (Unaudited)

iSHARES TRUST

 

Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust and BGFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the Funds. As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested and BGFA provided such information as the Board deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Contract. At a meeting held on June 13, 2007, the Board approved the selection of BGFA and the continuance of the Advisory Contract, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BGFA. In selecting BGFA and approving the Advisory Contract for the Funds, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, advised by their independent counsel, considered the following factors, none of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY BGFA

The Board determined that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of BGFA under the Advisory Contract for the coming year as compared to the scope of services provided by BGFA over the past year. In reviewing the scope of these services, the Board considered BGFA’s investment philosophy and experience, noting that BGFA and its affiliates have committed significant resources over time, including over the past year, including investment in technology and increasing the number of their employees supporting the Funds. The Board also considered BGFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Funds. In that regard, the Board noted that BGFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, and has made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. In addition to the above considerations, the Board considered BGFA’s investment processes and strategies, and matters related to BGFA’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures. The Board further noted that BGFA does not serve as investment adviser for any other series of registered investment companies with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as the Funds; therefore, comparative performance information was generally not available. However, the Board also noted that the Funds had met their investment objectives consistently since their respective inception dates. Based on review of this information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BGFA to the Funds under the Advisory Contract were appropriate and mitigated in favor of the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

FUNDS’ EXPENSES AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS

The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of each Fund in comparison with the same information for other funds registered under the 1940 Act objectively selected solely by Lipper as comprising each Fund’s applicable peer group (the “Lipper Group”). In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of each Fund for the one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, and the “last quarter” period ended March 31, 2007, and a comparison of each Fund’s performance to that of the funds in its Lipper Group for the same periods. Because there are few, if any, exchange traded funds or index funds that track indexes similar to those tracked by the Funds, the Lipper Groups included in part, at the request of BGFA, mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange traded funds, and funds with differing investment objective classifications, investment focuses and other characteristics (e.g., actively managed funds and funds sponsored by “at cost” service providers). In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a detailed description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the applicable Lipper Groups and to prepare this information. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the various Lipper Groups, the statistical information may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board noted that most of the Funds generally performed in line with the funds in their respective Lipper Groups over the relevant periods; however, certain of the Funds may have underperformed or outperformed funds in their respective Lipper Groups over such periods. In considering this information, the Board noted that the Lipper Groups include funds that may have different investment

objectives and/or benchmarks from the Funds. In addition, the Board noted that each Fund seeks to track an index and that during the prior year the Board received periodic reports on the Funds’ performance in comparison with their relevant benchmark indexes. Such comparative performance information was also considered by the Board.

The Board also noted that the investment advisory fees and overall expenses for the Funds were generally lower than the median or average investment advisory fee rates and overall expense components of the funds in their respective Lipper Groups. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fees and expense levels and the historical performance of each Fund, as managed by BGFA, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels and performance of the funds in the relevant Lipper Group, were satisfactory for the purposes of approving the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO FUNDS AND PROFITS REALIZED BY BGFA AND AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BGFA of the Funds based on the fees payable to BGFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contract), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BGFA and its affiliates for the last calendar year. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BGI from securities lending by the Trust (including any securities lending by the Funds). The Board also discussed BGFA’s profit margin as reflected in the Funds’ profitability analysis and reviewed information regarding economies of scale (as discussed below). Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profits to be realized by BGFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contract and from other relationships between the Funds and BGFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within the range the Board considered reasonable and appropriate.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE

In connection with its review of the Funds’ profitability analysis, the Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Funds’ assets. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract did not provide for any breakpoints in the Funds’ investment advisory fee rates as the assets of the Funds increase. However, the Board further noted that possible future economies of scale for the Funds had been taken into consideration by fixing the investment advisory fees at rates at the lower end of the marketplace, effectively giving Fund shareholders, from inception, the benefits of the lower average fee shareholders would have received from a fee structure with declining breakpoints where the initial fee was higher. In addition, the Board noted that at its meeting held on March 9, 2006, it approved a reduction in the investment advisory fee rates for the iShares S&P GSSI/GSTI series sector Funds. The Board also reviewed BGFA’s historic profitability as investment adviser to the iShares fund complex and noted that BGFA had made a significant investment in the iShares funds and had incurred operating losses during earlier years when the iShares funds, including the Funds, had not yet reached scale. In light of this history, the Board determined that further reductions in fee rates or additions of breakpoints were not warranted at this juncture for the Funds. Based on this review, as well as the discussions described above in connection with the Lipper Group comparisons, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue at least annually, concluded that the structure of the investment advisory fees reflects the sharing of economies of scale with the Funds’ shareholders.

FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED FOR OTHER COMPARABLE FUNDS/ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY BGFA AND ITS AFFILIATES

The Board received and considered information regarding the Funds’ annual investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contract in comparison to the investment advisory/management fee rates for other funds/accounts for which BGFA or BGI, an affiliate of BGFA, provides investment advisory/management services, including other funds registered under the 1940 Act, collective funds and separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”). The Board noted that comparative investment advisory/management fee information was not available, as BGFA and its affiliates do not manage any Other Accounts with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as

the Funds. However, the Board noted that BGFA provided the Board with general information regarding how the level of services provided to the Other Accounts differed from the level of services provided to the Funds. Based on this review, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contract do not constitute fees that are so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contract are fair and reasonable.

OTHER BENEFITS TO BGFA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES

The Board reviewed any ancillary revenue received by BGFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to the Funds by BGFA, such as any payment of revenue to BGI, the Trust’s securities lending agent, for loaning any portfolio securities, and the payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BGFA and BGI in connection with any investment by the Funds in other funds for which BGFA provides investment advisory services and/or BGI provides administration services. The Board noted that BGFA does not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BGFA (including its affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the Funds. The Board further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds placed through a BGFA affiliate are reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 10f-3 and Rule 17e-1, as applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Funds’ shareholders.

Based on this analysis, the Board determined that the Advisory Contract, including the investment advisory fee rates there under, is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders to approve the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

Table of Contents

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

The tables that follow present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of 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 Funds included in this report. 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. 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.

As of July 31, 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/or Chief Financial Officer, and any persons performing similar functions. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 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. Silver, all of whom are independent, as that term is defined under Item 3(a)(2).

 

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 eleven series of the Registrant for which the fiscal year-end is July 31, 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 $158,616 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 and $165,347 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007.

 

  (b) Audit-Related Fees – There were no fees billed for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2006 and July 31, 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 $66,438 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 and $70,965 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007.

 

  (d) All Other Fees – There were no other fees billed for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2006 and July 31, 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, 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 ongoing 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 July 31, 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 for the last two fiscal years, were $1,590,313 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 and $2,247,779 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 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.
