Dear Shareholder:

The international equity markets posted another strong finish for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006, with a 19.65% advance for the MSCI EAFE Index1 versus a 10.78% return for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. It was not a straight, upward advance for stocks outside the U.S., however, as returns fluctuated over the period in response to volatile energy prices, the war in Iraq, and creeping inflation.

International stock returns were led by particularly strong results from some of the smaller European countries and solid returns in some emerging-market regions. Significant challenges remain worldwide, however, from ongoing regional conflicts, uncertain interest-rate policies, and commodity price pressures.

Despite these pressures, our outlook for international stocks remains positive. The valuations for many overseas stocks appear relatively attractive and opportunities for economic expansion in many European and emerging-market countries remain strong.

As always, we urge you to adhere to a diversified portfolio strategy2 that includes both U.S. and international stocks. Over time, combining different asset classes, with varied styles and strategies, has proven a critical factor in helping investors meet their long-term financial goals. That's why we encourage you to work with your financial advisor to develop an asset allocation strategy tailored to your family's specific financial goals, and review it periodically.

Founding Board Member Yunus Awarded 2006 Nobel Peace Prize

The recent awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Dr. Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank is an inspiration to all of us interested in eliminating poverty through innovative leveraging of our investments. An original board member of Calvert World Values Fund, Dr. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1976, pioneering microfinance to grant poor people access to small loans that empower them to start or expand their own businesses.

While there are many ways everyday investors can support microfinance, many Calvert shareholders have had an impact through Calvert's High Social Impact Investments (HSII) program. As a Fund investor, you can take pride in the fact that you've supported this growing global movement that is receiving the recognition it deserves.

30 Acts of Caring

For our 30th anniversary, Calvert staff decided to honor the founding spirit of the company with 30 separate acts of caring. From book and clothing drives to refurbishing homes with Habitat for Humanity--to working in soup kitchens, volunteering at elder daycare centers, and raising money to grant the wishes of ill children for the "Make A Wish Foundation--Calvert employees are participating fully in this celebration of community service

As we look ahead to 2007, I'd like to thank you for your confidence in Calvert's family of funds, and we look forward to serving you in the year ahead.

 

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.

Social Update
from the Calvert Social Research Department

As a company, through the work of Calvert Social Research Department, and through our unique investment programs, Calvert is a leader in socially responsible investment practices. This Social Update highlights key initiatives and involvement for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2006.

Shareholder Advocacy

We filed 17 shareholder resolutions during the 2006 proxy season, eight of which resulted in successful corporate dialogues and six of which were voted upon. Two of the resolutions received more than one-third of the vote (considered very high for shareholder-initiated proposals)--Home Depot on equal employment opportunity issues and Standard Pacific on energy efficiency. We also filed resolutions regarding sustainable forestry, predatory lending, animal welfare, disclosure and reporting, and contributions to political organizations and campaigns.

Corporate board diversity remains a major area of Calvert focus, with one-third of the resolutions filed for the reporting period in this area. We revisited our efforts launched in 2002, when Calvert sent letters to 154 companies in the Calvert Social Index Fund with no gender or racial diversity on their boards. Two-thirds of those companies still in the Index now have board diversity or a statement endorsing board diversity. For more information about these initiatives, see Shareholder Advocacy at www.calvert.com/sri_648.html.

Deepening our Impact

We are developing a plan to heighten the visibility and extend the impact of our overall advocacy efforts. While we will continue to file shareholder resolutions and engage management of the companies we hold in dialogue, we are expanding our approach to other advocacy tools and channels. This includes direct company and industry-wide dialogues (whether on our own or in multi-stakeholder settings) and industry standard-setting exercises to help leverage change across industries on a global basis. We also plan to engage in public policy and regulatory advocacy, by taking advantage of our proximity to and relationships with the U.S. government, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and media.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert's community investing, or High Social Impact Investing (HSII) program, administered through the Calvert Social Investment Foundation. The HSII program may allocate up to between 1% and 3% of Fund assets at below-market rates to provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.1 During the reporting period, the Foundation made several investments to groups working to revitalize the Gulf Coast Region in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. MicroCredit Enterprises (MCE), a non-profit that leverages private capital to make tiny business loans to women in developing countries living in extreme poverty, was another organization receiving an investment from the Foundation.

Global Issues

China and the Internet. As China clamps down on freedom of information and expression, several major U.S. internet and information technology companies have come under scrutiny by members of Congress, the media and various human rights organizations. We are now in discussions with several major portfolio holdings about minimizing their complicity in human rights abuses and disclosing how they are complying with government policy. Bennett Freeman, Calvert's Senior Vice President for Social Research and Policy, participated on Calvert's behalf in a multi-stakeholder dialogue convened by the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). This event aimed to develop a global industry standard addressing these issues, and included leading companies such as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo.

Sudan. Calvert has also made a commitment to address the human rights crisis in Sudan. Due to our long-standing human rights and Indigenous Peoples' rights criteria, we do not invest in companies that materially contribute to sustaining the Sudanese regime and the abuses in Darfur. We continue to scrutinize our holdings for such involvement and will, if necessary, take action through engagement or divestment. We remain prepared to lend our name and voice to appropriate opportunities as they arise, whether through engagement with companies or public policy initiatives.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain Calvert portfolios is invested in private companies that make socially or environmentally helpful products or provide such services, both with a profit objective. We have long been involved in the technology side of the alternative energy sector, but we're seeing a new area of growth in related services. To that end, we have invested in Global Resource Options, one of the largest solar power installation services in the country.2 While this is still a fragmented field, the company has already expanded into some of the more challenging areas of the country. And with more states starting to provide tax credits geared at alternative energy, the growth potential is significant.

Also, through the Special Equities program, we have invested in the Rose Smart Growth Fund, which acquires buildings in urban, mass-transit oriented locations around the country. Rose manages these buildings to a "green" standard, seeking increased energy efficiency, decreased operating expenses, healthier indoor environments, and higher tenant retention. The Rose Fund acquired its first asset in April 2006, consisting of two historic office buildings in Seattle, Washington that the Fund seeks to certify with the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System™, the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. Supporting this green building movement allows us to diversify our efforts to reduce energy usage.3

Performance Summary

Calvert World Values International Equity Fund Class A shares (at NAV*) returned a strong 18.58% for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2006, though slightly lagging the 19.65% return of the benchmark Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index.

New Subadvisor

On March 7, 2006, the Directors of the Fund approved the appointment of Acadian Asset Management of Boston as the new subadvisor to the Fund. With about $37 billion in assets under management, Boston-based Acadian is a pioneer in using quantitative approaches to international investing. Adhering to the Fund's stated strategy and Calvert's Double Diligence™ process (which seeks attractive potential investments in well-managed firms by examining companies both financially and in terms of corporate responsibility), Acadian evaluates more than 20,000 stocks for the Fund, expanding the universe of potential investments far beyond the 1,300 in the MSCI EAFE Index.

Acadian uses several proprietary stock-selection models to construct portfolios that are designed to seek an appropriate balance of risk and return. In addition, Acadian evaluates over 200 country-sectors (e.g., French Technology) versus the world market and each stock in that country-sector versus its peers to identify stocks that are most likely to outperform. This process provides comprehensive analysis of a very large array of stocks. Under Acadian's management, the Fund will continue to be managed with an emphasis on developed-market stocks while maintaining an emerging-markets allocation of up to 10% of net assets as opportunities in emerging markets warrant.

Investment Climate

Equity markets outside the U.S. continued to post strong returns over the 12 months ended September 30, 2006. The MSCI EAFE Index's return of 19.65% in U.S. dollars was driven by a strong local-market return of 16.97%, which was then boosted by currency conversion. Weakness in the U.S. dollar during the period, particularly over the last half of the period, boosted returns for U.S. investors. Non-U.S. markets strongly outperformed U.S. equity markets (for example, the Russell 1000® Index of large-cap U.S. stocks returned 10.25% and the S&P 500 Index 10.78%). Emerging markets also performed well, as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 20.8% in U.S. dollars.

Energy stocks, which had been market leaders in prior years, lagged considerably over the past year as crude oil and natural gas prices peaked then retreated. In both the Russell 1000 and EAFE Indexes, the Energy sector lost value for the period.

At this time last year, we were concerned what the market would do once crude oil prices retreated from their (then) historic highs. Would other sectors rally or would stocks retreat as well? Given the fairly broad strength of the market as energy stocks faltered over the past year, the verdict seems to be that investors were indeed willing to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Sector leadership was fairly consistent between U.S. and non-U.S. markets, with the Russell 1000 and EAFE Indexes sharing four of the top-five performing economic sectors--Materials, Industrials, Financials, and Consumer Staples. In the U.S., the Telecommunications sector was the top performer, boosted by mergers of some major players, but it was the second-worst performing sector in the EAFE Index for the period. The Utilities sector led the EAFE Index, although it was a relatively weak performer domestically.

Portfolio Strategy

For the one-year period, the Fund's performance was roughly in line with that of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. Adding to performance was the Fund's underweighting to the Energy sector, the weakest-performing sector in both the Fund and the EAFE Index benchmark. Unfortunately, the Fund was also underweighted to Utilities, the best-performing EAFE sector, which hindered performance relative to the benchmark.

The impact of stock selection was generally positive during the period, although success varied by sector. The Fund produced its best performance in Financial Services, where its sector holdings outperformed those in the EAFE Index. ING Groep of the Netherlands paced the Fund's solid performance in this sector and was the Fund's largest Financials holding. The Fund also benefited from favorable stock selection in the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary and Technology sectors.

Country allocation played a minor role relative to stock selection. Most notably, the Fund had an underweighting to Spanish stocks for the first six months of the period, while Spanish stocks underperformed. Coinciding with the change to Acadian Asset Management was a move to overweight Spanish stocks, which proved beneficial when Spanish stocks began to outperform. However, the Fund's consistent underweight to the Swiss market, one of the better-performing markets throughout the period, offset the benefit of the shift to Spain.

Emerging-market stocks contributed positively to Fund performance, particularly the Fund's holdings in Brazil and South Africa. At the start of the period, emerging-market stocks accounted for about 8.6% of the Fund, but that exposure declined to 3.9% as the balancing of risk and reward favored less-risky choices.

Currency returns varied widely over the 12-month period. The U.S. dollar was strong relative to the basket of currencies in the EAFE Index over the first half of the period, and then weakened during the last six months. The Fund does not hedge currency risk, nor does it normally have any large difference in its currency positions relative to the EAFE Index. So, the swings in foreign exchange rates over the period had little impact on the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark.

Outlook

As global equity markets have become more fairly valued--neither overpriced nor underpriced--Acadian is seeing opportunities from prudent stock selection within individual markets around the globe. Overall, we see global equity markets on a neutral track for the next three to six months as several key issues remain in flux--particularly interest-rate policies, housing markets and energy prices. As these issues play out, however, equity markets should respond more decisively.

While there may be some negative impact in the near term, our longer-term view is that significant global economic growth will resume even if there is a pause. We also believe that equity markets are likely to anticipate that growth, and begin to pick up steam in the second half of next year.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

Comparison of change in value of
$10,000 investment.

 

Average annual total returns in the Portfolio Statistics above and the Performance Comparison line graph are with maximum load deducted -- they assume reinvestment of dividends and reflect the deduction of the Fund's Class A maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%, or deferred sales charge, as applicable. No sales charge has been applied to the index used for comparison. However, the Lipper average does reflect the deduction of the category's average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in Class A shares is plotted in the line graph. The value of an investment in another class of shares would be different. New subadvisor assumed management of the Fund effective March 2006, and previously in March 2002. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund's distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006).

Actual Expenses

The first line of 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 of 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 the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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 sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of 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

Note A -- Significant Accounting Policies

General: The Calvert World Values International Equity Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The operation of each series is accounted for separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares of capital stock. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class-specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the Fund's net asset value is determined, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day's closing price exceeds specified parameters.

In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At September 30, 2006, securities valued at $8,253,598 or 1.4% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts' terms.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U. S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.

Forward Currency Contracts: The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates and to hedge against its currency exposure relative to that of the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund's risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset and/or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized forward currency contract gains or losses.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within seven days for Class I shares). Prior to September 27, 2006, the redemption fee applied to redemptions, including exchanges, made within five days for all Class I shares. The redemption fee is paid to the Class of the Fund from which the redemption is made, and is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Expense Offset Arrangement: The Fund has arrangements with its custodian banks whereby the custodian's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the banks. These credits are used to reduce the Fund's expenses. Such deposit arrangements may be an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

Note B -- Related Party Transactions

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on the following annual rates of average daily net assets: .75% on the first $250 million, .725% on the next $250 million and .675% on the excess of $500 million.

On December 2, 2005, shareholders approved the reorganization of several Calvert Fund Boards. As a result of this reorganization, Directors now oversee additional portfolios. Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $34,000 ($9,500 prior to December 2, 2005) plus $2,000 ($500 prior to December 2, 2005) for each Board meeting attended. An additional Chair support fee of $24,000 annually is paid to the Fund Chair. Additional fees of up to $10,000 ($5,000 prior to December 2, 2005) annually may be paid to the Chairperson of special committees of the Board and to the lead disinterested Director. Director's fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C -- Investment Activity

During the year, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $675,182,324 and $584,552,129, respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2006 for federal income tax purposes was $511,314,851. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $62,431,409 of which $71,665,650 related to appreciated securities and $9,234,241 related to depreciated securities.

Net realized capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $269,613 (from Calvert South Africa Fund that merged into the Fund in September 2002) at September 30, 2006 may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration in September 2009.

The Fund's use of net capital loss carryforwards from Calvert South Africa Fund may be limited under certain tax provisions.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2006, and September 30, 2005 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:

     Ordinary income

$2,232,444

     Long-term capital gain

          Total

$3,648,571

$2,232,444

As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income

$25,078,193

Undistributed long term capital gain

50,617,435

Capital loss carryforward

(269,613)

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

62,431,409

 

$137,857,424

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund's components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are due to currency gains and losses and treatment of partnerships and passive foreign investment companies for federal tax purposes.

Undistributed net investment income

($460,632)

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)

460,632

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to wash sales and the tax treatments of passive foreign investment companies and partnerships.

Note D -- Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds (except for the Calvert Social Investment Fund's Balanced and Enhanced Equity Portfolios, the CVS Calvert Social Balanced Portfolio and the CVS Ameritas Index 500 Portfolio) and State Street Corporation ("SSC").

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) or, for International Funds, by country, and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund's balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund's assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund's liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund's net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund's holdings, including each security's market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund's net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund's net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund's investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Statement of Operations

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund's investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund's expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund's total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund's net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund's net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund's performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund's cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund's investment portfolio -- how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

Proxy Voting

The Proxy Voting Guidelines of the Calvert Funds that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are provided as an Appendix to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com; or by visiting the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available on the Fund's website at www.calvert.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

 

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Holdings

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund's Form N-Q is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Fund's Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC;  information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Dear Shareholders:

Over the 12 months ended September 30, 2006, the U.S. economy and financial markets have moved solidly ahead while facing shifting pressures from fluctuating energy prices and interest rates, the ongoing war in Iraq, and a change in Federal Reserve (Fed) leadership and policies.

During the reporting period, we've also begun to see some encouraging shifts in the areas of U.S. stock market leadership as investors move from pursuing more speculative, short-term trends toward higher-quality, more fundamentally oriented investing. Many of our portfolio managers and Funds have faced significant headwinds over the last several years as certain management styles (e.g., value and small-cap) and market sectors (e.g., energy and industrials) have dominated market performance. We know you may have concerns about the performance of your Calvert Funds, and we want you to know we share your concerns and would like to address them.

A Look at Market Headwinds

Cyclical "headwinds" are a part of any investment process as economic and market trends change, and styles go in and out of favor. As long-term investors, we know that performance leadership of different styles rotates. And at Calvert, we strive to provide you with a broad array of investment options, managed by experienced money managers, so you can diversify your portfolio to weather market ups and downs. While we remain fully confident in our sub-advisors and investment process that combines rigorous financial analysis with analysis of a company's corporate responsibility practices, we are nonetheless challenged by certain sector and cyclical issues in the marketplace.

Specifically, many of Calvert's portfolio managers employ disciplines that screen for stocks that exhibit strong fundamentals--such as steady earnings growth, high returns on equity or low debt--and that are fairly priced. For many of our Funds, this fundamental financial analysis, coupled with our social screening process, leads to a bias toward more growth-oriented companies, many of which are in areas like healthcare, information technology, and the consumer discretionary sectors--areas that until recently have been underperforming.

With signs of a slowing economy and the recent outperformance of higher-quality companies with solid, long-term fundamentals, we believe a readjustment in the financial markets is underway that should benefit Calvert investors. In time, the cyclical headwinds should blow more strongly in our direction, favoring the high-quality companies with strong fundamentals and long-term growth potential that our Fund managers favor and portfolios emphasize.

Former Calvert Board Member Awarded 2006 Nobel Peace Prize

Recently, Dr. Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for their pioneering work in microfinance. An original board member of Calvert World Values Fund, Dr. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1976 to provide poor people with access to small loans that empower them to start or expand their own businesses. This award is especially significant in that it makes explicit and acknowledges the direct link between financial self-sufficiency and peace. Calvert is proud of our 10-year association with Dr. Yunus and of the role that our firm and shareholders have played in supporting Dr. Yunus's Nobel Prize-winning work in microfinance.

Advancing Regulatory Oversight

On the regulatory front, we continue to strengthen compliance operations with regard to codes of ethics, compliance programs, and SEC and NASD disclosure requirements. Our Chief Compliance Officer for Calvert Funds, Karen Becker, a Calvert veteran of 20 years, has oversight of and administers all Fund policies and procedures which have been designed with the highest level of integrity.

30 Acts of Caring

For our 30th anniversary, Calvert staff decided to honor the founding spirit of the company with 30 separate acts of caring. From book and clothing drives to refurbishing homes with Habitat for Humanity-- to working in soup kitchens, volunteering at elder daycare centers, and raising money to grant the wishes of ill children for the Make A Wish Foundation--Calvert employees are participating fully in this celebration of community service.

A Long-Term, Disciplined Outlook

Looking ahead, we believe our disciplined, research-driven investment process will lead to rewarding long-term performance for Calvert investors. We encourage you to work with a financial professional to maintain a strategic investment plan and diversified portfolio. Your advisor can provide important insights into investment markets and personal financial planning, particularly in challenging markets.

As Calvert celebrates its 30th anniversary year, I'd like to thank you for your continued confidence in our investment products. Calvert continues to strive toward its dual goals of favorable investment results and a positive impact on corporate responsibility, and we look forward to serving you in the year ahead.

 

Sincerely,

Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO
Calvert Group, Ltd.

Social Update
from the Calvert Social Research Department

As a company, through the work of Calvert Social Research Department, and through our unique investment programs, Calvert is a leader in socially responsible investment practices. This Social Update highlights key initiatives and involvement for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2006.

Shareholder Advocacy

We filed 17 shareholder resolutions during the 2006 proxy season, eight of which resulted in successful corporate dialogues and six of which were voted upon. Two of the resolutions received more than one-third of the vote (considered very high for shareholder-initiated proposals)--Home Depot on equal employment opportunity issues and Standard Pacific on energy efficiency. We also filed resolutions regarding sustainable forestry, predatory lending, animal welfare, disclosure and reporting, and contributions to political organizations and campaigns.

Corporate board diversity remains a major area of Calvert focus, with one-third of the resolutions filed for the reporting period in this area. We revisited our efforts launched in 2002, when Calvert sent letters to 154 companies in the Calvert Social Index Fund with no gender or racial diversity on their boards. Two-thirds of those companies still in the Index now have board diversity or a statement endorsing board diversity. For more information about these initiatives, see Shareholder Advocacy at www.calvert.com/sri_648.html.

Deepening our Impact

We are developing a plan to heighten the visibility and extend the impact of our overall advocacy efforts. While we will continue to file shareholder resolutions and engage management of the companies we hold in dialogue, we are expanding our approach to other advocacy tools and channels. This includes direct company and industry-wide dialogues (whether on our own or in multi-stakeholder settings) and industry standard-setting exercises to help leverage change across industries on a global basis. We also plan to engage in public policy and regulatory advocacy, by taking advantage of our proximity to and relationships with the U.S. government, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and media.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert's community investing, or High Social Impact Investing (HSII) program, administered through the Calvert Social Investment Foundation. The HSII program may allocate up to between 1% and 3% of Fund assets at below-market rates to provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.1 During the reporting period, the Foundation made several investments to groups working to revitalize the Gulf Coast Region in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. MicroCredit Enterprises (MCE), a non-profit that leverages private capital to make tiny business loans to women in developing countries living in extreme poverty, was another organization receiving an investment from the Foundation.

Global Issues

China and the Internet. As China clamps down on freedom of information and expression, several major U.S. internet and information technology companies have come under scrutiny by members of Congress, the media and various human rights organizations. We are now in discussions with several major portfolio holdings about minimizing their complicity in human rights abuses and disclosing how they are complying with government policy. Bennett Freeman, Calvert's Senior Vice President for Social Research and Policy, participated on Calvert's behalf in a multi-stakeholder dialogue convened by the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). This event aimed to develop a global industry standard addressing these issues, and included leading companies such as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo.

Sudan. Calvert has also made a commitment to address the human rights crisis in Sudan. Due to our long-standing human rights and Indigenous Peoples' rights criteria, we do not invest in companies that materially contribute to sustaining the Sudanese regime and the abuses in Darfur. We continue to scrutinize our holdings for such involvement and will, if necessary, take action through engagement or divestment. We remain prepared to lend our name and voice to appropriate opportunities as they arise, whether through engagement with companies or public policy initiatives.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain Calvert portfolios is invested in private companies that make socially or environmentally helpful products or provide such services, both with a profit objective. We have long been involved in the technology side of the alternative energy sector, but we're seeing a new area of growth in related services. To that end, we have invested in Global Resource Options, one of the largest solar power installation services in the country.2 While this is still a fragmented field, the company has already expanded into some of the more challenging areas of the country. And with more states starting to provide tax credits geared at alternative energy, the growth potential is significant.

Also, through the Special Equities program, we have invested in the Rose Smart Growth Fund, which acquires buildings in urban, mass-transit oriented locations around the country. Rose manages these buildings to a "green" standard, seeking increased energy efficiency, decreased operating expenses, healthier indoor environments, and higher tenant retention. The Rose Fund acquired its first asset in April 2006, consisting of two historic office buildings in Seattle, Washington that the Fund seeks to certify with the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System™, the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. Supporting this green building movement allows us to diversify our efforts to reduce energy usage.3

Portfolio Management Discussion

Performance

In the 12-months ended September 30, 2006, Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund Class A shares (at NAV*) returned 2.56%, underperforming the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, at 7.03%. Stock selection was the prime contributor to the Fund's underperformance.

Investment Climate

The stock market moved higher over the past twelve months, as large cap stocks, represented by the Russell 1000® Index, rose more than 10%, and mid- and small- cap stocks were up more than 9%.1 The underlying strength of the economy, combined with robust earnings from corporate America, drove several stock market indices to near-record highs by the end of September 2006. Consumers continued to do their part to keep the economy moving along, shrugging off volatile energy prices, geopolitical uncertainty, rising inflation and interest rate fears--along with a housing market slowdown.

Growth in the gross domestic product (GDP) in the second half 2005 was a solid 3.0%, but GDP growth for the first half 2006 was even stronger, at 4.1%. We expect this growth to slow in the coming months. Some of our economic outlook has unfolded as expected--moderating inflation, continuing productivity growth and decent consumer income and spending numbers. However, the economy now appears to be entering a mid-cycle slowdown. While second quarter 2006 corporate earnings were strong, cyclical stocks have declined as companies' revenue and estimates of future earnings have been moderated for the rest of the year.

Initially, mid-cap stocks continued to post superior results relative to large-caps, but large-cap stocks finally outperformed smaller ones during the last half of the reporting period. Mid-cap value stocks continued to trump mid-cap growth, with a return for the benchmark Russell Midcap Value Index of 12.27% versus 7.03% for the Russell Midcap Growth® Index.

Portfolio Strategy

Our core strategy employs a valuation model which seeks to identify reasonably priced companies with better-than-average forecast growth and profitability. Using Calvert's Double Diligence™ process, we seek attractive investments in well-managed companies by examining company fundamentals both financially and in terms of corporate responsibility.

During the past year, we sold 17 positions and purchased 12. After the Russell Midcap® Growth's Index annual reconstitution in July, we sold the four least attractive holdings that were no longer in the market cap range of the Russell MidCap Growth Index: Resources Connection, which was facing slowing growth prospects; USANA Health Sciences, due to its inability to gain entry to a significant international market; Williams-Sonoma, to reduce our exposure to housing-related retailers; and Yankee Candle, due to a likely deceleration of earnings growth.

We sold one of our best-performing stocks in the Energy sector, Maverick Tube, which we exited when it was announced that it would be acquired--but after it had more than doubled in value (110.3%). Consumer Discretionary company Weight Watchers was exited due to diminished earnings expectations. Among the largest portfolio additions were specialty retailer Guitar Center, medical-device manufacturer Waters Corp simulation software producer Ansys, and financial data provider FactSet Research Systems. We also added natural gas utility Energen to increase our exposure to the Utilities sector.

Key Performance Factors

Our overweight positions in Information Technology and Materials helped returns, and our stock selection in Information Technology, Energy and Industrials added value. Four of our technology names consistently topped earnings expectations throughout the year: Mettler-Toledo (29.8%), Itron (22.2%), Cognizant Technology Solutions (58.9%) and Amphenol (53.9%). In Industrials, WESCO International benefited (71.3%) from robust earnings growth.

Both our underweighting in the Telecommunication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors and overall stock selection, particularly in the Consumer Discretionary sector, contributed to the Fund's underperformance. Home builders Pulte Homes and KB Home traded lower (-25.4% and -39.2%, respectively) over concerns of a slowing housing market. Building supplier Eagle Materials (-46.9%) also suffered due to slowing construction activity. Retail holdings Chico's FAS and Williams-Sonoma were down 41.5% and 15.5%, respectively. In Health Care, institutional pharmacist Omnicare fell 23.2% on allegations of Medicaid fraud from Michigan's Attorney General's Office. Finally, Federated Investors (3.7%), Firstfed Financial (-5.4%), and student loan giant SLM Corp (-1.4%) contributed to underperformance in the Financials sector.

Outlook

Looking forward, we expect this mid-cycle slowdown to bring slower economic growth, rather than recession. We expect GDP growth for the second half of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 to average around 2.5%. As commodity prices cool, we expect inflation to be relatively tame, in the 2.5% area. We believe that the Federal Reserve will not need to further increase interest rates, given the slowing of growth and the decline in the rate of inflation. In many ways this is a "Goldilocks" scenario -- the economy is still growing, albeit at a slower rate, and inflationary fears are abating.

Productivity keeps increasing at 2.5% a year or better, and at the same time, the employment situation is strong. Also, both consumer income (as measured by real disposable income and hourly wages) and consumer spending have held up well. While housing activity has certainly slowed, we do not believe that this will have as strong an impact on the consumer as some analysts fear. We believe that some of the speculative froth is being removed from the housing market, but that demographic growth and change will still provide a solid underpinning for housing.

Of course, risks such as global turmoil and volatile energy prices remain. Upcoming elections are another uncertainty, though we expect congressional gridlock to prevail. And profit growth is likely to be weaker than in the last few years.

We remain bullish overall, expecting the market to continue its upward trend. In our view, the market remains slightly undervalued. The arrival of the mid-cycle slowdown, however, has led us to reduce some of our more cyclical holdings and transition into stocks and sectors with less sensitivity to the economy.

Performance Comparison
Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment.

 

* Note Regarding Class I Shares Total Returns: There were times during the reporting period when there were no shareholders in Class I. For purposes of reporting Average Annual Total Return, Class A performance at NAV (i.e. does not reflect deduction of the Class A front-end sales charge) is used during these periods in which there were no shareholders in Class I. For purposes of this Average Annual Total Return, the Class A performance at NAV was used during the period January 18, 2002 through June 3, 2003.

Average annual total returns in the Portfolio Statistics and the Performance Comparison line graph are with maximum load deducted -- they assume reinvestment of dividends and reflect the deduction of the Fund's Class A maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%, or deferred sales charge, as applicable. No sales charge has been applied to the index used for comparison. However, the Lipper average does reflect the deduction of the category's average front-end sales charge. The value of an investment in Class A & C shares is plotted in the line graph. The value of an investment in another class of shares would be different. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund's distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006).

Actual Expenses

The first line of 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 of 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 the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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 sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund, a series of the Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., as of September 30, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2006, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. As to securities purchased or sold but not yet received or delivered, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund as of September, 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The operation of each series is accounted for separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares of capital stock. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment may be waived for certain institutional accounts, where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A Shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments wherever possible. Securities for which market quotations are available are valued at last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange in which they trade. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

At September 30, 2006, securities valued at $1,358,351, or 1.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from

net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined

in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income

tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within seven days for Class I shares). Prior to September 27, 2006, the redemption fee applied to redemptions, including exchanges, made within five days for all Class I shares. The redemption fee is payable to the Class of the Fund from which the redemption is made, and is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The fee is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian

bank whereby the custodian's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. These credits are used to reduce the Fund's expenses. Such a deposit arrangement may be an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" -- an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

Note B -- Related Party Transactions

Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly owned by UNIFI Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates. For its services, the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, of .65% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $70,853 was payable at year end. In addition, $36,960 was payable at year end for operating expenses paid by the Advisor during September 2006.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2007 for Class I. The contractual expense cap is 0.86%. For the purposes of this expense limit, operating expenses do not include interest expense, brokerage commissions, taxes, and extraordinary expenses. To the extent that any offset credits are earned, the Advisor's obligation under the contractual limitation may be reduced and the Advisor may benefit from the expense offset arrangement.

Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides administrative services to the Fund for an annual fee, payable monthly of .25% for Class A, Class B and Class C, and .10% for Class I shares based on their average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, $26,857 was payable at year end.

Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and principal underwriter for the Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by Class A, Class B, and Class C shares, allow the Fund to pay the Distributor for expenses and services associated with distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .35%, 1.00% and 1.00% annually of average daily net assets of Class A, Class B, and Class C, respectively. Class I shares do not have Distribution Plan expenses. Under the terms of the agreement, $51,451 was payable at year end.

The Distributor received $54,107 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2006.

Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. ("CSSI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, CSSI received a fee of $134,600 for the year ended September 30, 2006. Under the terms of the agreement, $10,390 was payable at year end. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

The Fund may invest in Community Investment Notes issued by the Calvert Social Investment Foundation (the "CSI Foundation"). The CSI Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that receives in-kind support from the Calvert Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The Fund has received from the Securities and Exchange Commission an exemptive order permitting the Fund to make investments in these notes under certain conditions.

On December 2, 2005, shareholders approved the reorganization of several Calvert Fund Boards. As a result of this reorganization, Directors now oversee additional portfolios. Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $34,000 ($9,500 prior to December 2, 2005) plus a meeting fee of $2,000 ($500 prior to December 2, 2005) for each Board meeting attended. An additional Chair support fee of $24,000 annually is paid to the Fund Chair. Additional fees of up to $10,000 ($5,000 prior to December 2, 2005) annually may be paid to the Chairperson of special committees of the Board and the lead disinterested Director. Directors' fees are allocated to each of the funds served.

Note C -- Investment Activity

During the year, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $43,448,398 and $62,882,855 respectively.

The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2006 for federal income tax purposes was $130,072,568. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $3,088,229, of which $11,993,584 related to appreciated securities and $8,905,355 related to depreciated securities.

Net realized capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $1,854,355 at September 30, 2006 may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration in September 2011.

As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Capital loss carryforward

($1,854,355)

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

3,088,229

 

($1,233,874)

Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the Fund's components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax law and regulations. The primary difference causing such reclassifications is due to the disallowance of net operating losses.

Undistributed net investment income

$1,706,951

Paid in capital

(1,706,951)

The differences between the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the statement of net assets are primarily due to wash sales.

Note D -- Line of Credit

A financing agreement is in place with all Calvert Group Funds (except for the Calvert Social Investment Fund's Balanced and Enhanced Equity Portfolios, the CVS Calvert Social Balanced Portfolio and the CVS Ameritas Index 500 Portfolio) and State Street Corporation ("SSC"). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus .50% per annum. A commitment fee of .10% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2006. For the year ended September 30, 2006, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:

Explanation of Financial Tables

Schedule of Investments

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund's balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund's assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund's liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund's net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund's holdings, including each security's market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund's net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund's net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund's investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Statement of Operations

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund's investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fee, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund's expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

Statement of Changes in Net Assets

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund's total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund's net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund's net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund's performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund's cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund's investment portfolio -- how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio.

Proxy Voting

The Proxy Voting Guidelines of the Calvert Funds that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are provided as an Appendix to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com; or by visiting the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available on the Fund's website at www.calvert.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Holdings

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund's Form N-Q is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Fund's Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC;  information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the registrant by the auditors, and to the registrant's investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant. In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether the services are consistent with maintaining the independence of the auditors. The Committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve certain matters to one or more of its members. In this regard, the Committee has delegated authority to the Audit Committee Chair with respect to non-audit services not exceeding $25,000 in each instance.
