Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® FTSE DEVELOPED SMALL CAP EX-NORTH AMERICA INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2008

 

The iShares FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America Index (the “Index”). The Index measures the stock performance of small cap companies in developed countries outside of North America, as defined by FTSE International Limited (“FTSE”). 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 period from November 12, 2007 (inception date of the Fund) through January 31, 2008, the Fund declined 14.35%, while the Index declined 14.42%.

 

    Cumulative Total Returns    
            Inception to 1/31/08            
            NAV   MARKET   INDEX              
      (14.35)%   (13.62)%   (14.42)%      

“Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period indicated, and are calculated from an inception date of 11/12/07.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or ”NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (11/16/07), 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 table(s) 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 Chinese 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 six-month period ended January 31, 2008, the Fund declined 0.38%, while the Index declined 1.40%.

Total returns for the period 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 period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) 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.

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 August 1, 2007 to January 31, 2008.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

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

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

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

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America, iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25, iShares MSCI EAFE Growth, iShares MSCI EAFE Value, iShares MSCI EAFE Small Cap and iShares MSCI Kokusai Index Funds (each, a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”). The iShares FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America Index Fund commenced operations on November 12, 2007 and both the iShares MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index Fund and iShares MSCI Kokusai Index Fund commenced operations on December 10, 2007.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. 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.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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. 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.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

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 ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the six months ended January 31, 2008.

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
2014
   Total

FTSE/Xinhua China 25

   $ 3,332,711    $ 3,332,711

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 marked-to-market gains.

For the six months ended January 31, 2008, 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 six months ended January 31, 2008 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

As of January 31, 2008, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosures of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. Management has reviewed the tax positions as of January 31, 2008, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years, and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

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.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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.

As of January 31, 2008, the Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in the Premier Fund. 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 January 31, 2008 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 PRONOUNCEMENT

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. Management does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® MSCI EAFE INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2008

 

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 MSCI 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 six-month period ended January 31, 2008, the Fund declined 7.56%, while the Index declined 7.52%.

Total returns for the period since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (8/14/01). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) 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 (8/17/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, 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 table(s) 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.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

iSHARES® MSCI EAFE INDEX FUND

 

As a shareholder of the 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 on going costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the 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 August 1, 2007 to January 31, 2008.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line 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 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 in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 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.

Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days) and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days).

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund’s investment objective 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 the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund 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.

The 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 Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund 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 the 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   19


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (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 the 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 the 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 Fund 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.

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

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by the 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 Fund.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Fund is treated as an entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the 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 ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account

iSHARES® TRUST

 

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 six months ended January 31, 2008.

As of July 31, 2007, the tax year-end of the Fund, the Fund had tax basis net capital loss carry forwards of $26,679,808 and $150,352 expiring in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Such losses may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

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

For the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Fund realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Fund and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the Fund’s tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the six months ended January 31, 2008 are disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

As of January 31, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $40,416,477,343. Net unrealized appreciation was $7,808,715,732, of which $9,003,578,804 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $1,194,863,072 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosures of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. Management has reviewed the tax positions as of January 31, 2008, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years, and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

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

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Fund is 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 Fund’s 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 six months ended January 31, 2008, BGI earned securities lending agent fees of $2,896,014.

The Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Fund’s 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 Fund from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Fund from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

The 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.

For the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Fund had direct investment (exclusive of short-term investments) in issuers of which BGFA is an affiliate or issuers of which the Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities as follows:

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the 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 MSCI EAFE® 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.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

5. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The 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 the 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 Fund of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due.

As of January 31, 2008, the Fund had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in the Premier Fund. 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 January 31, 2008 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Fund’s Statement 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 PRONOUNCEMENT

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. Management does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® S&P GSTI TECHNOLOGY INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2008

 

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 is designed to measure the performance of U.S.-traded technology-related stocks. The Index includes companies in the following categories: producers of sophisticated computer-related devices; communications equipment and internet services; producers of computer and internet software; consultants for information technology; providers of computer services; and semiconductor equipment manufacturers. 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 six-month period ended January 31, 2008, the Fund declined 7.02%, while the Index declined 6.84%.

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 period 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 period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) 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 table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® S&P GSTI NETWORKING INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2008

 

The iShares S&P GSTI Networking 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 Multimedia Networking Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S.-traded communication equipment stocks. The Index includes companies that are producers of telecom equipment, data networking and wireless equipment. 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 six-month period ended January 31, 2008, the Fund declined 15.54%, while the Index declined 15.34%.

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 period 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 period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) 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 table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® S&P GSTI SEMICONDUCTOR INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2008

 

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 is designed to measure the performance of U.S-traded semiconductor stocks. The Index includes companies that are producers of semiconductor and semiconductor equipment. 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 six-month period ended January 31, 2008, the Fund declined 21.93%, while the Index declined 21.78%.

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 period 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 period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) 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 table(s) 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.

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 August 1, 2007 to January 31, 2008.

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.

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 (Unaudited)

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.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares S&P GSTI Technology, iShares S&P GSTI Networking, iShares S&P GSTI Semiconductor, iShares S&P GSTI Software, iShares S&P GSSI Natural Resources, 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.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

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 ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the six months ended January 31, 2008.

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

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

For the six months ended January 31, 2008, 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 six months ended January 31, 2008 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

As of January 31, 2008, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosures of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. Management has reviewed the tax positions as of January 31, 2008, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years, and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

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.

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.

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.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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.

As of January 31, 2008, certain Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in the Premier Fund. 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 January 31, 2008 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 PRONOUNCEMENT

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. Management does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
