The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes). /2/ This Schedule 13G/Amendment No. 12 was inadvertently filed by President and Fellows of Harvard College's filing agent under an incorrect CIK number for Latin America Equity Fund, Inc. on May 12, 2003.

(the "Fund") since December 31, 2002 and by a recalculation of the size of Harvard's position based on an update in the number of outstanding shares reported by the Fund in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since Harvard's last filing with respect to the Fund's shares on February 12, 2003, the Fund has reported a smaller number of shares outstanding than had been reported as of the time of Harvard's last filing. On March 3, 2003, the Fund reported that there were 6,322,240 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2002, following the completion in November 2002 of the Fund's tender offer for its shares. Harvard's percentage ownership of the Fund in this 13G is calculated based on this updated information regarding the Fund's outstanding shares. If Harvard's previous 13G filing had reflected Harvard's percentage ownership of the Fund based on the updated number of outstanding shares as of that time, Harvard's percentage ownership would have been 20.0% as of December 31, 2002, and the increase in Harvard's ownership from then to now would not have resulted in an obligation to file this 13G.
