Table of Contents
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.iShares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment management fees. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower.
Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. 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 primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. 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.
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2012 and held through April 30, 2013, 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.
Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account 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 for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also 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. 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 hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
iSHARES®, INC.
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.
These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):
iShares Bond Fund | Diversification Classification | |
Emerging Markets Corporate | Non-diversified | |
Emerging Markets High Yield | Non-diversified | |
Emerging Markets Local Currency | Non-diversified | |
Global ex USD High Yield Corporate | Non-diversified | |
Global High Yield Corporate | Non-diversified |
Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers.
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.
Each Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that may trade in non-U.S. markets. This may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Funds; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war.
Pursuant to the 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.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SECURITY VALUATION
Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP
56 | 2013 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).
• | Fixed income investments are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures. |
• | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or other default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Company’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |

Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
• | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Company’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The following table summarizes the value of each of the Funds’ investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2013. The breakdown of each Fund’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its respective schedule of investments.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Each Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Funds as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.
FOREIGN TAXES
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their statements of operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on securities lending income are presented as a reduction of securities lending income, foreign taxes on stock dividends are presented as “other foreign taxes,” and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign taxes on foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Foreign taxes payable as of April 30, 2013, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. 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.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Company’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to enhance current disclosure requirements on offsetting of certain assets and liabilities and enable financial statement users to compare financial statements prepared under
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 59 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The new disclosures are required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements and require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar agreements. The guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
BFA has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock International Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”), an affiliate of BFA, under which BFA pays the Sub-Advisor for services it provides to the iShares Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund, iShares Global ex USD High Yield Corporate Bond Fund and iShares Global High Yield Corporate Bond Fund.
For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:
iShares Bond Fund | Investment Advisory Fee | |||
Emerging Markets Corporate | 0.60 | % | ||
Emerging Markets High Yield | 0.65 | |||
Emerging Markets Local Currency | 0.60 | |||
Global ex USD High Yield Corporate | 0.55 | |||
Global High Yield Corporate | 0.55 |
BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the iShares Global ex USD High Yield Corporate Bond Fund and the iShares Global High Yield Corporate Bond Fund through December 31, 2014 in order to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.40% of average daily net assets.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”) to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. BTC is an affiliate of BFA. Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, and any fees or other payments to and from borrowers of securities. Each Fund retains 65% of securities lending income and pays a fee to BTC equal to 35% of such income. The Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending as well as the cost of borrower default indemnification. BTC is also responsible for fees and expenses incurred by each Fund as a result of the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA or an affiliate.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, BTC earned securities lending agent fees from the Funds as follows:
iShares Bond Fund | Securities Lending Agent Fees | |||
Global High Yield Corporate | $ | 3,551 |
BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for each Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Funds.
Each Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Interest – affiliated” in the statements of operations.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes.
Certain directors and officers of the Company are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.
3. | INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS |
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the six months ended April 30, 2013 were as follows:
iShares Bond Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||||
Emerging Markets Corporate | $ | 6,772,750 | $ | 4,741,151 | ||||
Emerging Markets High Yield | 61,625,333 | 54,084,305 | ||||||
Emerging Markets Local Currency | 443,563,499 | 79,592,241 | ||||||
Global ex USD High Yield Corporate | 22,445,844 | 6,324,588 | ||||||

iShares Bond Fund | In-kind Purchases | |||
Emerging Markets Corporate | $ | 13,525,198 | ||
Emerging Markets High Yield | 84,653,641 | |||
Emerging Markets Local Currency | 4,018,111 | |||
Global High Yield Corporate | 16,770,401 |
4. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at net asset value. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Company generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that fund’s underlying index,
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 61 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Company may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Company’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities.
From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statements of assets and liabilities.
5. | LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES |
Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities plus the interest accrued on such securities, if any, for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan plus accrued interest, if any. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock. BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Any securities lending cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BFA or its affiliates. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
As of April 30, 2013, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA. The value of any securities on loan as of April 30, 2013 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the statements of operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers, and less the fees paid to BTC as securities lending agent.
6. | INCOME TAX INFORMATION |
For purposes of U.S. GAAP, in-kind redemptions are treated as sales of securities resulting in realized capital gains or losses to the Funds. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital at the end of the Funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Management has reviewed the tax positions as of April 30, 2013, inclusive of the open tax return years, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
