Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES^® MSCI AUSTRIA INDEX FUND

Performance as of 2/28/05

The iShares MSCI Austria Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of publicly traded securities in the aggregate in the Austrian market, as measured by the MSCI Austria Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index, which have a similar investment profile as the Index. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, the Fund returned 42.57%, while the Index returned 44.23%.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (3/12/96). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

Certain sectors and markets performed exceptionally well based on market conditions during the six-month and one-year periods. 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 (3/18/96), 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, the 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 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		11

Shareholder Expenses

iSHARES^®, INC.

As a shareholder of an iShares Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

iSHARES^®, INC.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

iShares, Inc. (the “Company”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on September 1, 1994 pursuant to amended and restated Articles of Incorporation. As of February 28, 2005, the Company offered 24 investment portfolios or funds.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares MSCI Austria, iShares MSCI Belgium, iShares MSCI EMU, iShares MSCI France, iShares MSCI Germany, iShares MSCI Italy, iShares MSCI Netherlands, iShares MSCI Spain, iShares MSCI Sweden, iShares MSCI Switzerland and iShares MSCI United Kingdom 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 publicly traded equity securities in the aggregate in a particular market, as measured by a particular equity securities index compiled by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (“MSCI”). The investment adviser utilizes 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 stocks in 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 foreign issuers of a single country or region, which 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; lesser 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.

Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and directors 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.

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Company 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS		93

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES^®, INC.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities of each Fund are valued primarily on the basis of market prices. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less and short-term investments are valued at amortized cost.

Securities held under a repurchase agreement are valued at a price equal to the amount of the cash investment at the time of valuation on the valuation date. The market values of the underlying securities are determined in accordance with the above discussed valuation methods, as appropriate, for the purpose of determining the adequacy of collateral.

Securities of investment companies, other than investment companies whose shares are traded on an exchange, are valued at the investment company’s published net asset value per share.

Any securities, including restricted securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a significant event has occurred since the time of the most recent market quotation, are valued in accordance with fair value pricing policies approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions.

Foreign currencies, investment securities and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Any use of a different rate from the rates used by MSCI may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to track its underlying index.

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.

FOREIGN TAXES

During the six months ended February 28, 2005, the iShares MSCI Sweden Index Fund paid foreign taxes on certain taxable corporate events (i.e., spin-offs and tender offers) by Swedish companies whose securities are held by the Fund. The foreign taxes paid by the Fund are disclosed in its Statement of Operations.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, including any net foreign currency gains, are declared and distributed at least annually by each Fund. Distributions of net realized 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 total distributions and distributions per share are disclosed in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Financial Highlights for all Funds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its net income and any net gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the six months ended February 28, 2005.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Fund’s custodian or to an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. The securities are marked-to-market daily and additional securities are acquired as needed, to ensure that their value equals or exceeds the repurchase price plus accrued interest. As of February 28, 2005, a portion of the cash collateral for securities on loan for the Funds was invested in repurchase agreements as disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. For further information, see Note 5, below.

2. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, as amended, 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 of the expenses (“Covered Expenses”) of each of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses.

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BGFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on each Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate net assets of all the funds offered by the Company (except for the iShares MSCI Brazil, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets, iShares MSCI Pacific ex-Japan, iShares MSCI South Africa, iShares MSCI South Korea, and iShares MSCI Taiwan Index Funds) as follows:


*Investment Advisory Fee*		*Aggregate* *Net Assets*
0.59%		First $7 billion
0.54		Over $7 billion, up to and including $11 billion
0.49		Over $11 billion

Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) has a license agreement with MSCI for the use of the relevant MSCI indices. Under a sub-license agreement between BGI and the Funds, the fees for the use of such MSCI indices are paid directly by BGI to MSCI.

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

BGI serves as securities lending agent for the Company. BGI is an affiliate of BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser. As securities lending agent, BGI receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loan of securities. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, BGI earned securities lending agent fees as follows:


*iShares MSCI Index Fund*	Securities Lending Agent Fees

SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”) serves as each Fund’s underwriter and distributor of the shares of each Fund, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Company. The Distributor does not receive a fee from the Funds for its distribution services.

As defined under Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, certain broker-dealers may be deemed to be an “affiliated person” of a Fund by virtue of being a DTC Participant that owned of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of such Fund. The broker-dealers identified to be an “affiliated person” of a Fund (other than BGIS) did not execute any portfolio transactions with or on behalf of such Fund during the six months ended February 28, 2005.

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, certain Funds executed cross trades for the six months ended February 28, 2005. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BGFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. The Board reviewed all such transactions executed during the first four months of the fiscal half-year and concluded that they were in compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth in Rule 17a-7. The Board is scheduled at its next meeting to review all such transactions executed during the last two months of the fiscal half-year.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, each Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) and Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF and PMMF 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 and Prime Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are managed by BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser. The GMMF, IMMF and PMMF are open-end money market funds available to institutional and accredited investors, including other investment companies managed by BGFA. The GMMF, IMMF and PMMF seek a high level of income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. While the GMMF, IMMF and PMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF and PMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Funds from temporary cash investments or from investment of securities lending collateral are recorded as either interest from affiliated issuers or securities lending income, respectively, in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

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.

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 105% of the market value of the loaned 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 February 28, 2005, the Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in a joint account with other funds managed by BGFA, which invests in securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less, repurchase agreements and money market mutual funds, including money market funds managed by BGFA. Repurchase agreements held in the joint account are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities. Income from the joint account is allocated daily to each Fund, based on each Fund’s portion of the total cash collateral received. The market value of the securities on loan as of February 28, 2005 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, which is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations, is presented net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (7/10/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which 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 (7/14/00), 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.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (2/3/03). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The 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 (2/7/03), 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.

Total returns for the periods since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (5/9/00). “Average annual total returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. “Cumulative total returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

Certain sectors and markets performed exceptionally well based on market conditions during the six-month period. 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. In the case of the South Korea Fund, the NAV of which is determined prior to the opening of the regular trading day on the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”), the market return is calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the AMEX. 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 (5/12/00), 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.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Fund’s custodian or to an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. The securities are marked-to-market daily and additional securities are acquired as needed, to ensure that their value equals or exceeds the repurchase price plus accrued interest. As of February 28, 2005, a portion of the cash collateral for securities on loan for certain Funds was invested in repurchase agreements as disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. For further information, see Note 5, below.

FUND PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW		1

Shareholder Expenses

iSHARES^® MSCI JAPAN 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 ongoing 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 September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005.

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.


	Beginning Account Value (September 1, 2004)		Ending Account Value (February 28, 2005)		Annualized Expense Ratio		Expenses Paid During Period* (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005)
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,097.50	0.58	%	$	3.02
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,021.92	0.58			2.91

*	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 (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

iSHARES^®, INC.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

iShares, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on September 1, 1994 pursuant to amended and restated Articles of Incorporation. As of February 28, 2005, the Company offered 24 investment portfolios or funds.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares MSCI Japan 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 publicly traded equity securities in the aggregate in the Japanese equity market, as measured by the MSCI Japan Index compiled by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (“MSCI”). The investment adviser utilizes 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 stocks in 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 foreign issuers of a single country, which 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; lesser 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.

Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and directors 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.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities of the Fund are valued primarily on the basis of market prices. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less and short-term investments are valued at amortized cost.


16		2005 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES^®, INC.

Securities of investment companies, other than investment companies whose shares are traded on an exchange, are valued at the investment company’s published net asset value per share.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate 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, including any net foreign currency gains, are declared and distributed at least annually. Distributions of net realized 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.

As of August 31, 2004, the tax year-end of the Fund, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of undistributed ordinary income of $12,922,546, unrealized appreciation of $225,179,965 and capital and other losses of $82,616,713, for net distributable earnings of $155,485,798.

For the six months ended February 28, 2005 and for the year ended August 31, 2004, the tax characterization of distributions paid for the Fund was equal to the book characterization of distributions paid. The total distributions and distributions per share are disclosed in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Financial Highlights for the Fund.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS		17

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES^®, INC.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Company’s other funds 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 net income and any net gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the six months ended February 28, 2005.

As of August 31, 2004, the tax year-end of the Fund, the Fund had tax basis net capital loss carryforwards of $2,959,030, $62,572,173, $3,621,148 and $5,594,562 expiring in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Such losses may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in each succeeding year, or until their respective expiration date, 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 mark-to-market gains.

As of February 28, 2005, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $7,606,280,098. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $778,732,118, of which $908,734,710 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $130,002,592 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Fund’s custodian or to an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. The securities are marked-to-market daily and additional securities are acquired as needed, to ensure that their value equals or exceeds the repurchase price plus accrued interest. As of February 28, 2005, a portion of the cash collateral for securities on loan for the Fund was invested in repurchase agreements as disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. For further information, see Note 5, below.

2. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, as amended, 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 of the expenses (“Covered Expenses”) of the Fund, 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 Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate net assets of all the funds offered by the Company (except for the iShares MSCI Brazil, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets, iShares MSCI Pacific ex-Japan, iShares MSCI South Africa, iShares MSCI South Korea, and iShares MSCI Taiwan Index Funds) as follows:


*Investment Advisory Fee*		*Aggregate Net Assets*
0.59%		First $7 billion
0.54		Over $7 billion, up to and including $11 billion
0.49		Over $11 billion


18		2005 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES^®, INC.

Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) has a license agreement with MSCI for the use of the MSCI Japan Index. Under a sub-license agreement between BGI and the Fund, the fee for the use of the MSCI Japan Index is paid directly by BGI to MSCI.

BGI serves as securities lending agent for the Company. BGI is an affiliate 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 February 28, 2005, BGI earned securities lending agent fees of $952,489.

SEI Investments Distribution Company (the “Distributor”) serves as the Fund’s underwriter and distributor of the shares of the Fund, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Company. The Distributor does not receive a fee from the Fund for its distribution services.

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Fund executed cross trades for the six months ended February 28, 2005. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BGFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. The Board reviewed all such transactions executed during the first four months of the fiscal half-year and concluded that they were in compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth in Rule 17a-7. The Board is scheduled at its next meeting to review all such transactions executed during the last two months of the fiscal half-year.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) and Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. The GMMF, IMMF and PMMF 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 and Prime Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively the “Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are managed by BGFA, the Fund’s investment adviser. The GMMF, IMMF and PMMF are open-end money market funds available to institutional and accredited investors, including other investment companies managed by BGFA. The GMMF, IMMF and PMMF seek a high level of income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. While the GMMF, IMMF and PMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF and PMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Fund from temporary cash investments or from investment of securities lending collateral are recorded as either interest from affiliated issuers or securities lending income, respectively, in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

The following table provides information about the investment by the Fund in shares of issuers of which BGFA is an affiliate, for the six months ended February 28, 2005, including income earned from these affiliated issuers.

iSHARES^®, INC.

During the six months ended February 28, 2005, the Fund invested cash collateral from securities on loan in the GMMF, IMMF and PMMF. Due to the nature of the structure of the joint account used for the investment of the collateral for securities on loan, the information reported above for the Fund does not include the Fund’s holdings of the GMMF, IMMF and PMMF in connection with the investment of collateral for securities on loan.

As of February 28, 2005, certain directors and officers of the Company are also officers of BGI.

3. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the six months ended February 28, 2005, aggregated $60,979,141 and $73,338,635, respectively.

In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the six months ended February 28, 2005, aggregated $593,540,113 and $107,681,442, respectively.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

The Company has authorized 10.9 billion shares of $.001 par value capital stock. As of February 28, 2005, 2,124,600,000 shares were authorized to the Fund.

The Company issues and redeems capital shares of the Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares (each, a “Creation Unit”) at net asset value. 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 constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the MSCI Japan Index and an amount of cash. A purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee are charged to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

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 is required to have a value of at least 105% of the market value of the loaned 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 February 28, 2005, the Fund had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in a joint account with other funds managed by BGFA, which invests in securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less, repurchase agreements and money market mutual funds including money market funds managed by BGFA. Repurchase agreements held in the joint account are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities. Income from the joint account is allocated daily to the Fund, based on the Fund’s portion of the total cash collateral received. The market value of the securities on loan as of February 28, 2005 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, which is disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations, is presented net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers.
