Dear Shareholder:
Through the reporting year ended September 30, 2004, economic growth and corporate profits have maintained strength, though markets have certainly been influenced by concerns about the war in Iraq, record oil prices, the U.S. Presidential election, and rising interest rates.
Against this backdrop, equities (as measured by the S&P 500) posted healthy 12-month returns of 13.86%, while the smaller-capitalization Russell 2000™ Index appreciated by 18.77% for the same period. Generally, value funds performed better than growth funds during this 12-month period.1 On the international front, overseas stocks (as measured by the MSCI EAFE™ Index), generally outperformed their U.S. counterparts, boosted in part by currency exchange rates.
Notably, the majority of gains in U.S. stocks occurred between October and December of 2003. With the new calendar year, caution over political and macroeconomic events resulted in a pull-back from stock investors' risk-embracing attitudes and a flatter stock market for most of 2004.
In the market overall, lower-quality stocks led domestic-equity returns in 2003, and -- as our shareholders know and we believe appreciate -- our equity funds favor higher-quality stocks. We have begun to witness the reversing of this trend in 2004 as higher-quality stocks have gained some ground, an environment that gives us cause for optimism looking forward.
Two Additions to Our Fund Family
I'm proud to announce the fourth-quarter 2004 launch of two new Calvert funds--the Calvert Small Cap Value Fund and the Calvert Mid Cap Value Fund--offering investors additional diversification opportunities within the Calvert family of funds. Both are managed by Chicago-based Channing Capital Management LLC, whose founding principal Eric McKissack is formerly of Ariel Capital Management. At Ariel, Mr. McKissack was the lead manager of the Ariel Appreciation Fund, a mid-cap value portfolio. We believe the combination of Channing Capital's investment expertise and Calvert's industry-leading corporate social research make these attractive products for investors.
Other Calvert Initiatives
Calvert continued this year to strive toward our dual goals of favorable investment results and positive environmental, corporate governance, and social impact.
In June 2004, we launched the Calvert Women's Principles, the first global code of conduct for corporations that is focused on addressing gender inequalities and empowering, advancing, and investing in women worldwide. This landmark initiative has been making headlines in media in the U.S. and abroad, including The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, The Christian Science Monitor, NPR Marketplace Morning Report, and Associated Press Worldstream.
On the shareholder advocacy front, we made significant inroads during the 2004 proxy season in the areas of board diversity and corporate disclosure of key environmental information. Of the 34 shareholder resolutions filed by Calvert, 16 were successfully withdrawn after the companies agreed to the terms of their respective resolutions. Half of the companies agreed to disclose key social and environmental information, and six firms agreed to make amendments to their nominating committee charter to formalize a commitment to hire and retain qualified directors from diverse backgrounds.
With the introduction of several innovative tools for advisors and investors, Calvert once again received awards in 2004 for Web marketing excellence from the Web Marketing Association and Dalbar, a leading financial-services market research firm.
Maintain a Long-Term Outlook
As always, we encourage our shareholders to keep their long-term investment objectives front and center, avoiding reactions to short-term market and economic developments. Maintaining a sound, diversified strategy based on personal goals, individual risk tolerance, and investment time horizon is a time-tested, prudent approach. Working with a financial professional can help you gain important insights into investment markets, personal investment planning, and the discipline it takes to stay with a thoughtful strategy. Thank you for your continued investment with Calvert, 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
Shareholder Activism
Calvert shareholder activism focuses on supporting good companies that can become even better at helping create a fair, sustainable society.
Our advocacy efforts for the just-completed activism season included filing a record 34 shareholder proposals, of which 16 were successfully withdrawn when the companies agreed to our requests. Of the remaining proposals, three received SEC exemptions, 12 went to vote, two were not officially presented, and one is to be voted on in November 2004. Key themes for this year's efforts were board diversity and social/environmental disclosure.
Board Diversity
Six of ten companies agreed to shareholder proposal requests that Calvert's Model Nominating Committee Charter Language on Board Diversity be adopted. The language helps ensure that women and minority candidates be included in every director search.
Social/Environmental Disclosure
Fourteen resolutions asked companies to prepare sustainability reports based on Global Reporting Initiative guidelines for voluntary corporate reporting on the economic, environmental, and social impacts of operations. We've been able to withdraw half of these resolutions after companies agreed to reporting. On resolutions that went to vote, support ranged from 20.3% to 42.2%.
Up next in our advocacy efforts: a focus on companies' adopting greenhouse-gas-emission reduction targets.
New Global Initiative
Launched in June 2004 as a joint initiative between Calvert and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), the Calvert Women's Principles is the first global code of corporate conduct focused exclusively on empowering, advancing, and investing in women. As UNIFEM Executive Director Noeleen Heyzer noted, this code "...will provide a concrete set of indicators for tracking the progress of gender justice in the corporate community."

Performance
Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund Class A shares returned 8.98% for the year ended September 30, 2004. The benchmark Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index returned 13.68% for the same period. Approximately half of Fund underperformance relative to the benchmark was the result of sector allocation. The other half resulted from a combination of stock selection and interaction.1
Investment Climate
While returns for your Fund and the benchmark were positive for the reporting period, the market has moved sideways over the most recent nine months as geopolitical uncertainty and concerns about the environment, hurricane damage, rising interest rates, and higher energy prices have continued to increase investor caution.
Regarding interest rates specifically, Federal Reserve policymakers increased the Fed funds rate from 1% to 1.75% in three consecutive moves over the last three months of the fiscal year. The Fed reiterated that the economy has "regained some traction" and more rate increases are likely to be carried out at a "measured" pace amid low inflation, and the markets have held on.

Performance Comparison
Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment. (Source: Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.)
* 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 Class C deferred sales charge. No sales charge has been applied to the index used for comparison. 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.
With respect to energy prices, concerns escalated as crude-oil prices rose to $50 per barrel in late September, from approximately $29 per barrel in January 2004. The volatility of oil prices originates from the underlying imbalance between supply and demand. Globally, oil supply is tight, with a shortage and lack of growth in oil-refining capacity. In addition, there is fear of potential supply disruptions from the Middle East and other oil exporting countries. While the U.S. accounts for most of the increased oil consumption worldwide this year, there is also rising demand from emerging markets such as China and India.
On the earnings front, for the companies in the S&P 500 Index, reported earnings-per-share (EPS) growth for the second calendar quarter was 25.3% over the same period last year. So far, earnings reports for the quarter ended September 2004 reveal that growth is decelerating, so the strong pace may not be maintained in the near future. According to financial data expert Thomson Financial, EPS growth is forecast to be 13.8%. If so, third quarter 2004 would be the first quarter since 2003 with growth of less than 20%. Nevertheless, a 13.8% growth rate is still nearly twice the historical 7% long-term earnings growth rate for stocks.
Portfolio Strategy
Sector investment
From a sector-selection standpoint, the portfolio was negatively affected most in Other Energy and in Health Care. Though energy-related stocks performed handsomely over the past year, our portfolio was underweight in this outperforming sector. We were also slightly underweight in Health Care, one of the highest-contributing sectors in the Russell
Mid-Cap Growth Index.
In terms of notable positives, our software stocks contributed 1.76% to performance, with Intuit Inc. and Autodesk the highest contributors. Utilities represented the second-highest-performing sector, as Nextel Partners Inc., a wireless phone service provider, was our highest-contributing stock over the past year, adding 1.56% to performance.
Stock selection
In the area of individual stock selection, a significant portion of portfolio underperformance came from two Consumer Cyclical industry groups -- restaurants and educational services. The most notable restaurant disappointment was Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. Prior to its fall pre-announcement of a projected earnings shortfall, it was one of the fastest-growing "restaurants" in the country. While a shortfall in and of itself often represents a buying opportunity in our investment process, we determined that a shift in fundamentals had occurred. We therefore eliminated our position. The decision to not own Starbucks, the largest-weighted "restaurant" in the benchmark, also cost in relative performance.
Our overweight in the for-profit education industry was the other Consumer Cyclical investment that detracted from performance. During the past year, a number of industry companies were hit with allegations of student-records tampering at various campuses. Pursuant to the allegations, various federal regulatory authorities began investigations. While some of the allegations could have merit, we are comfortable that the industry, which has very strong longer-term growth prospects, can get through this difficult period and return to growth.
Outlook
We believe the Fed will continue its balancing act of sustaining growth without accelerating inflation. An expanding world economy is likely to further boost demand for oil in the next several years. So, it is not unreasonable to assume that there is a fundamental secular change taking place in the energy markets. Back in July, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan pointed out that the U.S. economy was in a "soft patch," due to high energy prices. Clearly, continuing increases in oil prices would add more pressure to the economy.
Overall, with an accommodative Federal Reserve and any relief in crude oil price increases, we believe the economy should continue to expand at a decent 3%-3.5% clip (as measured by real gross domestic product, or GDP). Interest rates are still low from a historical perspective, and the housing market continues to be strong. Inflation expectations are benign. The unemployment rate is reasonable at 5.4%, though sustained jobs creation has not yet occurred.
It appears that we are in the process of moving closer to the mean with EPS growth. We are cautiously optimistic and believe that this will remain a stock picker's market. Brown Capital Management employs a bottom-up process in selecting stocks based on individual company fundamentals. It is these individual holdings that are the basic building blocks for your Fund. We continue to diligently review current portfolio holdings and research new investment candidates. Our growth-at-a-reasonable-price (GARP) methodology strives to take advantage of short-term market volatility to purchase exceptional growth companies that are undervalued relative to their future earnings potential. We feel confident that our GARP methodology and bottom-up company analysis have positioned your Fund appropriately for the market environment we expect going forward.

1. Interaction is the combination of a fund's over- or underweight to a sector -- versus the index -- and the relative performance of that fund's individual holdings in the sector against the holdings of the index.

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, 2004 to September 30, 2004).
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.
The Fund charges an annual low balance account fee of $15 to those shareholders whose IRA account balance is less than $1,000. If the low balance fee applies to your account, you should subtract the fee from the ending account value in the chart below.
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, one of the funds in the Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., as of September 30, 2004, 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 three year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated November 16, 2001.
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, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. 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, 2004 and 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 three year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note A -- Significant Accounting Policies
General: The Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-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 acc ounts, 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. 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), and at such other times as may be necessary or appropriate. 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. Unlisted securities and listed securities for which the last sale price is unavailable are valued at the most recent bid price or based on a yield equivalent obtained from the securities' market maker. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed inappropriate 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, 2004, securities valued at $680,491, or 0.5% 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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: Effective February 1, 2004, the Fund began to charge a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within five days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is paid to the Fund, and 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 and transfer agent's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such a deposit arrangement is 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.
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 Ameritas Acacia Mutual Holding Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services and pays the salaries and fees of officers and affiliated Directors of the Fund. 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, $123,434 was payable at year end.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit net annual fund operating expenses through January 31, 2005 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, extraordinary expenses and capital items.
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, $29,111 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, $56,454 was payable at year end.
The Distributor received $85,639 as its portion of the commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2004.
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 $154,076 for the year ended September 30, 2004. Under the terms of the agreement, $12,093 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.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $9,500 plus $500 for each Board meeting attended. An additional retainer of $5,000 annually is paid to the Lead Independent 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 $146,116,542 and $148,444,294, respectively.
The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2004 for federal income tax purposes was $130,144,749. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $12,206,755, of which $18,689,488 related to appreciated securities and $6,482,733 related to depreciated securities.
Net realized capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $29,931,944 at September 30, 2004 may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration in September 2011.
As of September 30, 2004, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Capital loss carryforward |
| ($29,931,944) |
|
| Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| 12,206,755 |
|
|
|
| ($17,725,189) |
|
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 differences causing such reclassifications are due to the disallowance of net operating losses.
Undistributed net investment income |
| $2,328,248 |
Paid in capital |
| (2,328,248) |
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 Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank"). Under the agreement, the Bank is providing an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), to be accessed by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus .50% per annum. A commitment fee of .10% per annum will be incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility which will be allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2004. For the year ended September 30, 2004, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:
|
| Weighted |
| Month of |
| Average | Average | Maximum | Maximum |
| Daily | Interest | Amount | Amount |
| Balance | Rate | Borrowed | Borrowed |
| $9,401 | 1.58% | $383,437 | January 2004 |

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 is 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 first N-Q filings for this Fund will be for the quarter ending December 31, 2004. The Fund's Form N-Q will be 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. The Fund makes the information on Form N-Q available to shareholders on the Calvert website at www.calvert.com.

Dear Shareholder:
Through the reporting year ended September 30, 2004, economic growth and corporate profits have maintained strength, though markets have certainly been influenced by concerns about the war in Iraq, record oil prices, the U.S. Presidential election, and rising interest rates.
Against this backdrop, equities (as measured by the S&P 500) posted healthy 12-month returns of 13.86%, while the smaller-capitalization Russell 2000™ Index appreciated by 18.77% for the same period. Generally, value funds performed better than growth funds during this 12-month period.1 On the international front, overseas stocks (as measured by the MSCI EAFE™ Index), generally outperformed their U.S. counterparts, boosted in part by currency exchange rates.
Notably, the majority of gains in U.S. stocks occurred between October and December of 2003. With the new calendar year, caution over political and macroeconomic events resulted in a pull-back from stock investors' risk-embracing attitudes and a flatter stock market for most of 2004.
In the market overall, lower-quality stocks led domestic-equity returns in 2003, and -- as our shareholders know and we believe appreciate -- our equity funds favor higher-quality stocks. We have begun to witness the reversing of this trend in 2004 as higher-quality stocks have gained some ground, an environment that gives us cause for optimism looking forward.
Two Additions to Our Fund Family
I'm proud to announce the fourth-quarter 2004 launch of two new Calvert funds--the Calvert Small Cap Value Fund and the Calvert Mid Cap Value Fund--offering investors additional diversification opportunities within the Calvert family of funds. Both are managed by Chicago-based Channing Capital Management LLC, whose founding principal Eric McKissack is formerly of Ariel Capital Management. At Ariel, Mr. McKissack was the lead manager of the Ariel Appreciation Fund, a mid-cap value portfolio. We believe the combination of Channing Capital's investment expertise and Calvert's industry-leading corporate social research make these attractive products for investors.
Other Calvert Initiatives
Calvert continued this year to strive toward our dual goals of favorable investment results and positive environmental, corporate governance, and social impact.
In June 2004, we launched the Calvert Women's Principles, the first global code of conduct for corporations that is focused on addressing gender inequalities and empowering, advancing, and investing in women worldwide. This landmark initiative has been making headlines in media in the U.S. and abroad, including The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, The Christian Science Monitor, NPR Marketplace Morning Report, and Associated Press Worldstream.
On the shareholder advocacy front, we made significant inroads during the 2004 proxy season in the areas of board diversity and corporate disclosure of key environmental information. Of the 34 shareholder resolutions filed by Calvert, 16 were successfully withdrawn after the companies agreed to the terms of their respective resolutions. Half of the companies agreed to disclose key social and environmental information, and six firms agreed to make amendments to their nominating committee charter to formalize a commitment to hire and retain qualified directors from diverse backgrounds.
With the introduction of several innovative tools for advisors and investors, Calvert once again received awards in 2004 for Web marketing excellence from the Web Marketing Association and Dalbar, a leading financial-services market research firm.
Maintain a Long-Term Outlook
As always, we encourage our shareholders to keep their long-term investment objectives front and center, avoiding reactions to short-term market and economic developments. Maintaining a sound, diversified strategy based on personal goals, individual risk tolerance, and investment time horizon is a time-tested, prudent approach. Working with a financial professional can help you gain important insights into investment markets, personal investment planning, and the discipline it takes to stay with a thoughtful strategy. Thank you for your continued investment with Calvert, 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
Shareholder Activism
Calvert shareholder activism focuses on supporting good companies that can become even better at helping create a fair, sustainable society.
Our advocacy efforts for the just-completed activism season included filing a record 34 shareholder proposals, of which 16 were successfully withdrawn when the companies agreed to our requests. Of the remaining proposals, three received SEC exemptions, 12 went to vote, two were not officially presented, and one is to be voted on in November 2004. Key themes for this year's efforts were board diversity and social/environmental disclosure.
Board Diversity
Six of ten companies agreed to shareholder proposal requests that Calvert's Model Nominating Committee Charter Language on Board Diversity be adopted. The language helps ensure that women and minority candidates be included in every director search.
Social/Environmental Disclosure
Fourteen resolutions asked companies to prepare sustainability reports based on Global Reporting Initiative guidelines for voluntary corporate reporting on the economic, environmental, and social impacts of operations. We've been able to withdraw half of these resolutions after companies agreed to reporting. On resolutions that went to vote, support ranged from 20.3% to 42.2%.
Up next in our advocacy efforts: a focus on companies' adopting greenhouse-gas-emission reduction targets.
New Global Initiative
Launched in June 2004 as a joint initiative between Calvert and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), the Calvert Women's Principles is the first global code of corporate conduct focused exclusively on empowering, advancing, and investing in women. As UNIFEM Executive Director Noeleen Heyzer noted, this code "...will provide a concrete set of indicators for tracking the progress of gender justice in the corporate community."

Performance
Calvert World Values International Equity Fund Class A shares returned 15.30% over the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2004. The benchmark MSCI EAFE Index returned 22.52% for the period.
Investment Climate
The reporting period began with strong returns, as investors had become much more willing to take on risk throughout 2003. The global economy proved resilient in recovering from the recession that followed the peak of the stock market bubble in 2000. Strong equity-market returns continued into early 2004, after which rising interest rates and commodity prices plus fears of a slowdown in China combined to dampen investor enthusiasm. Since then, markets have been treading water, and returns overall are close to flat. That the MSCI is up 22.52%, however, is a significant improvement over the U.S. market, with the S&P 500 Index returning less than 14% over the period. Foreign currency appreciation against the U.S. dollar was a major component of this outperformance. In local-currency terms, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 15.7%.
Rising commodity prices were a major force over the reporting period. Oil prices grabbed the headlines, as supply/demand imbalances and various political events drove prices to $50 per barrel by September 30. This trend was a major factor behind country and sector performance, as oil-producing nations outperformed consuming nations, and energy and materials stocks posted strong returns
Japan was the worst performing developed market in the Index, as enthusiasm about economic recovery waned later in the year and commodity prices took their toll. Emerging markets performed strongly, despite a setback in the second quarter of 2004 as investors were surprised by election results in India and became generally more risk averse. Norway and Austria were the stars among the developed markets. Most of the smaller peripheral European markets surged ahead of the big three (the UK, France, and Germany).
Outside the commodity-related sectors, utility stocks were the best performers in the Index, as investors became more defensive and were attracted by the valuations. Technology stocks were the laggards, highlighted by disappointments at Nokia, Nortel, and many of the semiconductor companies. Telecommunications stocks also lagged the broad market, along with consumer staples, which have been suffering disappointing growth with some perceived erosion of brand power. Financials and more cyclical consumer discretionary and industrial stocks performed broadly in line with the overall market.

Performance Comparison
Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment. (Source:Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.)
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%. No sales charge has been applied to the index used for comparison. 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 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.
Portfolio Strategy
Country selection was a positive factor over the period, offset by negative contributions from sector selection and stock picking. The Fund was overweight in several of the best-performing markets like Norway and Austria, and benefited from an allocation to emerging markets in general and South Africa, Indonesia, Turkey, and Argentina in particular.
Sector and industry effects
The biggest component of the margin of underperformance at the sector level was the underweight in energy stocks. Underweights in mining stocks within the materials sector also hurt. Overweighting utility stocks was a bright spot, but this was offset by exposure to technology, which was on average close to neutral but suffered from poor timing as momentum-based stock selection led to a more overweight position when performance turned weaker in 2004. Tobacco stocks were also a relatively strong-performing industry to which the Fund has no exposure.
Stock selection
Individual stocks that contributed strongly to Fund returns included Belgian pharmaceutical UCB Groupe, Mizuho Financial Group in Japan, UK retailer Next, Japanese consumer-finance company Acom, and a number of European financial stocks such as ING, DNB, and National Bank of Greece. German tire producer Continental was one more industrial stock that had a significant positive contribution.

The largest single negative impact was the holding in Italian dairy company Parmalat, which cost the portfolio -1.5%. Parmalat surprised investors in November 2003 by running out of short-term cash despite reportedly large quantities on its balance sheet. Then, in December, it revealed long-standing fraud that led to the firm's bankruptcy and the arrest of several officers at the firm and at its former auditor Grant Thornton. When the first wave of bad news hit in November, the Fund management team evaluated the position and chose not to liquidate based on the view (obviously incorrect in hindsight) that the markets had over-reacted. While there was a short-term liquidity crunch, the feeling was that the company would be able to get immediate financing, that the long-term business was real and solid, and that investors would over-react and it would be unwise to sell the position during a rush of selling. When the full scope of the fraud was revealed, however, the stock had ceased trading.
Other positions that hurt the Fund included Invensys, a UK industrial firm, and Volkswagen. Positions in several semiconductor stocks also hurt, as did a position in National Australia Bank, which ousted its CEO after massive losses in currency trading and sustained underperformance.
Outlook
Generally, international stocks enjoy the benefit of stronger currencies and a valuation discount to the U.S. market. As a result, diversification overseas is likely to enhance an investor's overall portfolio return as well as reduce risk. Within international stocks, the opportunities are less compelling. Small stocks are no longer especially attractive relative to large caps, and value stocks trade at relatively narrow discounts to growth. As lower quality and more cyclical stocks have advanced to higher valuation levels, the risks associated with those sectors has increased, and the momentum seems to have slowed outside the more commodity-related stocks. All this points to relatively conservative positioning within the Fund, as investors seem unlikely to be rewarded for taking on greater risk.

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, 2004 to September 30, 2004).
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.
The Fund charges an annual low balance account fee of $15 to those shareholders whose IRA account balance is less than $1,000. If the low balance fee applies to your account, you should subtract the fee from the ending account value in the chart below.
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 World Values International Equity Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Calvert World Values International Equity Fund, one of the funds in the Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., as of September 30, 2004, 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 three year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated November 16, 2001.
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, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. 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 World Values International Equity Fund as of September 30, 2004 and 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 three year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 institut ional 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. 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), and at such other times as may be necessary or appropriate. 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 close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. Unlisted securities and listed securities for which the last sale price is not available are valued at the most recent bid price or based on a yield equivalent obtained from the securities' market maker . 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 inappropriate 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, 2004, securities valued at $6,533,360 or 2.3% 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. 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. 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.
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 Assets and Liabilities 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 five days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is paid to the Fund, and 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 an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian's and transfer agent's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such a deposit arrangement is 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.

The Distributor received $106,955 as its portion of commissions charged on sales of the Fund's Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2004.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc. ("CSSI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund.

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.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates receives an annual retainer of $9,500 plus $500 for each Board and Committee meeting attended. An additional fee of $5,000 annually is paid to the Lead Independent Director. Director's 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 $238,318,577 and $172,942,328 respectively.
The cost of investments owned at September 30, 2004 for federal income tax purposes was $271,322,287. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $12,249,150, of which $31,334,123 related to appreciated securities and $19,084,973 related to depreciated securities.
Net capital loss carryforwards of $449,355 (from Calvert South Africa Fund that merged into the Fund in September 2002), and $25,021,923 expire on September 30, 2009, and September 30, 2011, respectively.
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, 2004, and September 30, 2003 were as follows:
Distributions paid from: |
| 2004 | 2003 |
|
Ordinary income |
| $2,437,729 | $737,236 |
|
Long-term capital gain |
| -- | -- |
|
Total |
| $2,437,729 | $737,236 |
|
As of September 30, 2004, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income |
| $2,230,268 |
Capital loss carryforward |
| (25,471,278) |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| 12,249,150 |
|
| ($10,991,860) |
Reclassifications, as shown in the table below, have been made to the funds 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 for federal tax purposes.
Undistributed net investment income |
| $350,209 |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) |
| (351,274) |
Paid in capital |
| 1,065 |
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 open forward foreign currency contracts, passive foreign investment companies, and partnerships.
The Fund paid foreign taxes of $718,627 and recognized foreign source income of $7,129,332. Pursuant to IRC section 853, the Fund designates $.04 per share of foreign taxes and $.42 per share of foreign source income as having been paid for taxable year ended September 30, 2004.
The Fund may sell or purchase securities to and from other funds managed by the Advisor, typically short-term variable rate demand notes. Interportfolio transactions are primarily used for cash management purposes. Interportfolio transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended September 30, 2004, purchase and sales transactions were $10,205,000 and $12,880,000, respectively.
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 Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank"). Under the agreement, the Bank is providing an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), to be accessed by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus .50% per annum. A commitment fee of .10% per annum will be incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility which will be allocated to all participating funds. The Fund had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2004.
For the year ended September 30, 2004, borrowings by the Fund under the Agreement were as follows:
|
| Weighted |
| Month of |
| Average | Average | Maximum | Maximum |
| Daily | Interest | Amount | Amount |
| Balance | Rate | Borrowed | Borrowed |
| $107,004 | 1.57% | $6,083,824 | February 2004 |
Note E -- Affiliated Companies
An affiliated company is a company in which the Fund has a direct or indirect ownership of, control of, or voting power over 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting shares. Affiliated companies of the Fund are as follows:
Affiliates | Cost | Value |
Empresas ESM, SA de CV | $350,000 | $50,000 |
SEAF Central & Eastern European Growth Fund LLC | 903,732 | 893,793 |
TOTALS | $1,253,732 | $943,793 |
Note F -- Other
Terra Capital Investors Limited has filed suit in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court for the British Virgin Islands against the Fund for payment under a capital subscription agreement. The amount claimed is $21,978, plus interest and costs. The Fund is seeking arbitration to resolve the dispute. Although the Fund believes that it has a strong equitable defense to not pay the remaining capital commitment, all capital calls to-date have been recorded as an increase to the cost basis of the security and are therefore reflected in the financial statements.
In connection with certain venture capital investments, the Fund is committed to future capital calls, which will increase the Fund's investment in these securities. The aggregate amount of the future capital commitments totals $1,614,259 at September 30, 2004.

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 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.

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.
