iSHARES® MSCI JAPAN ETF
Performance as of February 28, 2014
The iShares MSCI Japan ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of Japanese equities, as represented by the MSCI Japan Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, the total return for the Fund was 5.80%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 5.99%.

FUND PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW | 5 |
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 the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
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 the 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® MSCI JAPAN ETF
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 fund (the “Fund”):
iShares MSCI ETF | Diversification Classification | |
Japan | Diversified |
The investment objective of the 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 the Fund’s investment objective.
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 Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
Pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its 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
The 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 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
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 17 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI JAPAN ETF
Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
• | Financial futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
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 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 the 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® MSCI JAPAN ETF
• | 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.
As of February 28, 2014, the value of each of the Fund’s investments was classified as Level 1. The breakdown of the Fund’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its schedule of investments.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Fund may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Fund 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.
The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Fund as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.
FOREIGN TAXES
The Fund 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 Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its statement 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 February 28, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends and distributions paid by the 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 Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI JAPAN ETF
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Company’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its 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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities 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. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the statement of operations.
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 Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. The Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of February 28, 2014, the Fund had securities on loan with a market value of $55,000,422 as disclosed in the Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities. The value of the related collateral, as disclosed in the Fund’s schedule of investments, exceeded the value of the securities on loan at period end.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by (“BlackRock”). Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for
20 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI JAPAN ETF
substantially all expenses of the Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
Investment Advisory Fee | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets | ||||
0.59 | % | First $7 billion | |||
0.54 | Over $7 billion, up to and including $11 billion | ||||
0.49 | Over $11 billion, up to and including $24 billion | ||||
0.44 | Over $24 billion, up to and including $48 billion | ||||
0.40 | Over $48 billion |
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014, the Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees.

4. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the 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 the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Company generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities 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.
5. | 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 Fund. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Fund 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 Fund’s 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.
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund’s fiscal year-end, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

The Fund may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Fund may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.
As of February 28, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $14,963,583,128. Net unrealized depreciation was $977,659,601, of which $664,914,836 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $1,642,574,437 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of February 28, 2014, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s financial statements.
6. | FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS |
The Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts in an effort to help the Fund track its underlying index. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.
The following table shows the value of futures contracts held by the Fund as of February 28, 2014 and the related locations in the statement of assets and liabilities, presented by risk exposure category:

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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, 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.

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 ETF | Diversification Classification | |||
MSCI Austria Capped | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Belgium Capped | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Eastern Europe | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI EMU | Diversified | |||

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.
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.
Each Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
The United States and the European Union have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and a financial institution. The United States or the European Union could also institute broader sanctions on Russia. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. These sanctions could also result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities, impairing the ability of the iShares Emerging Markets Eastern Europe ETF to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities.
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 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
• | Financial futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
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 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 |
• | 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 February 28, 2014. 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
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 February 28, 2014, 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.

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 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. 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. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of February 28, 2014, the following Funds had securities on loan with a market value as disclosed in the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities:
iShares ETF | Market Value of Securities on Loan | |||
MSCI Austria Capped | $ | 143,886 | ||

MSCI United Kingdom | 4,083,532 |
As of February 28, 2014, the value of the related collateral, as disclosed in the Funds’ schedules of investments, exceeded the market value of the securities on loan.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by 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.
For its investment advisory services to each Fund, except for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Eastern Europe ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on each Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
Investment Advisory Fee | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets | ||||
0.59 | % | First $7 billion | |||
0.54 | Over $7 billion, up to and including $11 billion | ||||
0.49 | Over $11 billion, up to and including $24 billion | ||||
0.44 | Over $24 billion, up to and including $48 billion | ||||
0.40 | Over $48 billion |
For its investment advisory services to the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Eastern Europe ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
Investment Advisory Fee | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets | ||||
0.75 | % | First $14 billion | |||
0.68 | Over $14 billion, up to and including $28 billion | ||||
0.61 | Over $28 billion, up to and including $42 billion | ||||
0.56 | Over $42 billion, up to and including $56 billion | ||||
0.50 | Over $56 billion, up to and including $70 billion | ||||
0.45 | Over $70 billion, up to and including $84 billion | ||||
0.40 | Over $84 billion |
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014, each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) each Fund retains 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount each Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, each Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.

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 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. | 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.
As of August 31, 2013, the Funds’ fiscal year-end, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2014, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.
6. | FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS |
Each Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts in an effort to help such Fund track its underlying index. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.
The following table shows the value of futures contracts held by the iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF as of February 28, 2014 and the related locations in the statements of assets and liabilities, presented by risk exposure category:

FUND PERFORMANCE OVERVIEWS | 13 |
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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, 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.

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 ETF | Diversification Classification | |||
MSCI Australia | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Hong Kong | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Japan Small-Cap | Diversified | |||
MSCI Malaysia | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Pacific ex Japan | Diversified |
iShares ETF | Diversification Classification | |||
MSCI Singapore | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI South Korea Capped | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Taiwan | Non-diversified | |||

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.
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.
Each Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
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
68 | 2014 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
• | Financial futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
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 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 February 28, 2014. 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

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 February 28, 2014, 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.
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 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. 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. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates.

iSHARES®, INC.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of February 28, 2014, the following Funds had securities on loan with a market value as disclosed in the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities:
iShares ETF | Market Value of Securities on Loan | |||
MSCI Australia | $ | 1,553,126 | ||
MSCI Hong Kong | 58,028,244 | |||

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014, each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) each Fund retains 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount each Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and

(ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, each Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, each Fund paid to BTC the following amounts in total for securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees:
iShares ETF | Fees Paid to BTC | |||
MSCI Australia | $ | 6,090 | ||
MSCI Hong Kong | 72,580 | |||
MSCI Japan Small-Cap | 14,104 | |||
MSCI Pacific ex Japan | 146,235 |

MSCI South Korea Capped | 676,982 | |||
MSCI Taiwan | 863,782 | |||
MSCI Thailand Capped | 5,693 |
In addition, commencing the business day following a “Hurdle Date” (the date that the aggregate securities lending income generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013 or lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Funds and BTC) and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, (i) each Fund will receive for the remainder of that calendar year 80% of securities lending income (for any Hurdle Date after January 1, 2015, each Fund will retain 75% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, BTC, the Funds’ securities lending agent, has agreed to voluntarily reimburse the iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF in the amount of $113,579, related to the foreign tax on the securities lending income. Such reimbursement is included in “Securities lending income – affiliated” in the Fund’s statement of operations.
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.

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 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.
5. | 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.
As of August 31, 2013, the Funds’ fiscal year-end, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

6. | FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS |
Each Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts in an effort to help such Fund track its underlying index. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.
The following table shows the value of futures contracts held by the Funds as of February 28, 2014 and the related locations in the statements of assets and liabilities, presented by risk exposure category:

iSHARES® MSCI BRAZIL CAPPED ETF
Performance as of February 28, 2014
The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of Brazilian equities, as represented by the MSCI Brazil 25/50 Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index.

FUND PERFORMANCE OVERVIEWS | 13 |
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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, 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.

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 ETF | Diversification Classification | |||
MSCI Brazil Capped | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Canada | Diversified | |||
MSCI Chile Capped | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Colombia Capped | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Israel Capped | Non-diversified |
iShares ETF | Diversification Classification | |||
MSCI Mexico Capped | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI South Africa | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Turkey | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI USA | Diversified |
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.
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.
Certain Funds invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
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 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
• | Financial futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
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 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; |
64 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
• | 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 |
• | 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 February 28, 2014. 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are
66 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
SHORT POSITIONS
From time to time, in order to track the performance of their respective benchmark index, the Funds may sell non-index securities that will be received through corporate actions occurring on the opening of market trading on the following business day. Such short positions are valued consistent with how securities are valued as described under “Security Valuation.” The obligation to deliver the securities is recorded as a liability in the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities and is equal to the current fair value of the securities to be delivered. Any market fluctuations between the value of the obligation to sell these securities and the current fair value are reflected as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Funds’ statements of operations. Upon receipt of the securities related to the corporate actions, the Funds record a realized gain (loss). Dividends on securities sold short, if any, are reflected as an expense in the statements of operations. Details of the short position resulting from the non-index securities sold by the Funds, if any, are included in their respective schedule of investments.
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 February 28, 2014, 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.
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 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. 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. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by 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.
For its investment advisory services to each of the iShares MSCI Canada and iShares MSCI Mexico Capped ETFs, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on each Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014, each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) all Funds except the iShares MSCI USA ETF retain 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount each Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) the iShares MSCI USA ETF retains 70% of securities lending income and (ii) the amount retained can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, the Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, each Fund paid to BTC the following amounts in total for securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees:
iShares ETF | Fees Paid to BTC | |||
MSCI Canada | $ | 65,362 | ||

The iShares MSCI USA ETF will (i) receive for the remainder of that calendar year 75% of securities lending income and (ii) the amount retained can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
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.
Cross trades for the six months ended February 28, 2014, if any, were executed by the Funds pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.
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.

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 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. | 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.
As of August 31, 2013, the Funds’ fiscal year-end, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

6. | FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS |
Each Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts in an effort to help such Fund track its underlying index. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.
The following table shows the value of futures contracts held by the iShares MSCI Canada ETF as of February 28, 2014 and the related locations in the statements of assets and liabilities, presented by risk exposure category:

7. | LINE OF CREDIT |
The iShares MSCI Colombia Capped ETF, along with certain other iShares funds, is a party to a $150 million credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which expires October 29, 2014. The line of credit may be used for temporary or emergency purposes, including redemptions, settlement of trades and rebalancing of portfolio holdings. The credit agreement has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the U.S. Federal Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. The commitment fee is allocated to each fund participating in the credit agreement based on each fund’s pro-rata share of the aggregate average daily value of assets invested in local securities of certain foreign markets.

iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
Performance as of February 28, 2014
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of large- and mid-capitalization emerging market equities, as represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, the total return for the Fund was 4.39%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 4.77%.

FUND PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW | 5 |
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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, 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.

iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
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 consolidated financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):
iShares ETF | Diversification Classification | |
MSCI Emerging Markets | Diversified |
The investment objective of the 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 the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund carries out its investment strategies associated with investment in Indian securities by investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Republic of Mauritius (the “Subsidiary”), which in turn invests in Indian securities included in the underlying index. The investment adviser of the Fund also serves as the investment adviser to the Subsidiary. Through this investment structure, the Fund expects to obtain certain benefits under a current tax treaty between Mauritius and India. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Fund include the accounts of the Subsidiary.
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 Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
The United States and the European Union have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and a financial institution. The United States or the European Union could also institute broader sanctions on Russia. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. These sanctions could also result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities, impairing the ability of the Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities.
Pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its 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
The 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 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 Fund. The investments of the 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
• | Financial futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
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 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 the 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
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 27 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
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 |
• | 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.
As of February 28, 2014, the value of each of the Fund’s investments was classified as Level 1. The breakdown of the Fund’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its consolidated schedule of investments.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Fund may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Fund 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.
The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Fund as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.
FOREIGN TAXES
The Fund 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
28 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its consolidated statement 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 February 28, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
The Fund conducts its investment activities in India through the Subsidiary and expects to obtain benefits under the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (“DTAA”). In order to be eligible to claim benefits under the DTAA, the Subsidiary must satisfy certain conditions, including the establishment and maintenance of valid tax residence in Mauritius. The Subsidiary is subject to tax in Mauritius on its net income at the rate of 15%. However, a system of tax credits effectively reduces the Mauritius income tax rate to a maximum of 3%. These income taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are disclosed in the consolidated statement of operations. Further, the Subsidiary is not subject to tax in Mauritius on any gains from the sale of securities. Any dividends paid by the Subsidiary to the Fund will also be exempt from tax in Mauritius. The foregoing is based upon current interpretation and practice and is subject to future changes in the tax laws of India or Mauritius and in the DTAA.
As a result of legislative changes enacted by the 2012 India Finance Act (“the Act”) and its general anti-avoidance rules (“GAAR”), which are effective April 1, 2013 but have been proposed to be deferred until April 1, 2016, the Subsidiary’s ability to leverage the treaty between Mauritius and India may be adversely impacted, and therefore the Fund may be subject to taxes on capital gains and/or dividends realized on Indian securities. The Act also includes provisions that impose Indian tax on the transfer of shares of an Indian company. However, until more definitive guidance on the legislative changes is available, the impact to the Fund, if any, cannot be determined at this time.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends and distributions paid by the 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 Fund.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Company’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its 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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities, 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. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Any securities lending cash collateral may be

Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the consolidated statement of operations.
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 Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. The Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of February 28, 2014, the Fund had securities on loan with a market value of $1,039,943,814 as disclosed in the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. As of February 28, 2014, the value of the related collateral, as disclosed in the Fund’s consolidated schedule of investments, exceeded the market value of the securities on loan.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with BFA under which BFA provides investment advisory services to the Subsidiary but does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiary for providing it with such services. The Subsidiary has also entered into separate arrangements that provide for the provision of other services to the Subsidiary (including administrative, custody, transfer agency and other services), and BFA pays the costs and expenses related to the provision of those services.

Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
Investment Advisory Fee | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets | ||||
0.75 | % | First $14 billion | |||
0.68 | Over $14 billion, up to and including $28 billion | ||||
0.61 | Over $28 billion, up to and including $42 billion | ||||
0.56 | Over $42 billion, up to and including $56 billion | ||||
0.50 | Over $56 billion, up to and including $70 billion | ||||
0.45 | Over $70 billion, up to and including $84 billion | ||||
0.40 | Over $84 billion |
BFA has voluntarily waived a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund in the amount of $298,237.
BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund, through December 31, 2014 in an amount equal to the investment advisory fees payable on the amount of the Fund’s investment in other iShares funds. The Fund did not hold any iShares funds during the six months ended February 28, 2014.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014, the Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) the Fund retains 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount the Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, the Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund paid to BTC securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees in the amount of $4,579,204.
In addition, commencing the business day following a “Hurdle Date” (the date that the aggregate securities lending income generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013 or lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Fund and BTC) and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, (i) the Fund will receive for the remainder of that calendar year 80% of securities lending income (for any Hurdle Date after January 1, 2015, the Fund will retain 75% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes.
The Fund, in order to improve its portfolio liquidity and its ability to track its underlying index, may invest in shares of other iShares funds that invest in securities in the Fund’s underlying index.

3. | INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS |
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the six months ended February 28, 2014, were $4,217,107,650 and $6,725,717,467, respectively.
In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the six months ended February 28, 2014, were $2,880,796,515 and $5,103,974,841, respectively.
4. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the 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 the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the consolidated 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 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 consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.

5. | 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 Fund. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Fund 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 Fund’s 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.
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund’s fiscal year-end, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

The Fund may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Fund may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.
As of February 28, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $33,282,086,410. Net unrealized depreciation was $1,341,238,908, of which $4,770,495,082 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $6,111,733,990 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of February 28, 2014, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements.
6. | FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS |
The Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts in an effort to help the Fund track its underlying index. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.

7. | LINE OF CREDIT |
The Fund, along with certain other iShares funds, is a party to a $150 million credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which expires October 29, 2014. The line of credit may be used for temporary or emergency purposes, including redemptions, settlement of trades and rebalancing of portfolio holdings. The credit agreement has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the U.S. Federal Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. The commitment fee is allocated to each fund participating in the credit agreement based on each fund’s pro-rata share of the aggregate average daily value of assets invested in local securities of certain foreign markets. The Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended February 28, 2014.
8. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On January 18, 2013, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee by Laborers’ Local 265 Pension Fund and Plumbers and Pipefitters Local No. 572 Pension Fund (the “Plaintiffs”) against BFA, BTC, and the current members of the iShares Trust Board of Trustees and the Board of Directors of iShares, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) for alleged violations of, among other things, Sections 36(a) and 36(b) of the 1940 Act. The complaint purports to be brought derivatively on behalf of iShares Trust and iShares, Inc., as well as the following eight funds: iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF; iShares MSCI EAFE ETF; iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF; iShares Russell 2000 Growth ETF; iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF; iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF; iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF; and iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF. The complaint alleges, among other things, that BFA and BTC breached their fiduciary duties under the 1940 Act by charging allegedly excessive fees in connection with the provision of securities lending services to the above eight funds, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties under the 1940 Act by approving those fee arrangements, and that the securities

lending contracts are unenforceable under Section 47(b) of the 1940 Act. Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, rescission of the securities lending contracts, and monetary damages of an unspecified amount. Defendants believe the claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend themselves against the allegations in the lawsuit. On March 11, 2013, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On August 28, 2013, the court dismissed the claims without prejudice. The deadline for the Plaintiffs’ request to amend the complaint was September 17, 2013. The Plaintiffs submitted a motion to extend the time to file and the court granted the 30-day extension until October 17, 2013. The Plaintiffs did not amend their complaint prior to this deadline. The Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice on October 24, 2013. The Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on November 8, 2013. On February 13, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed an appeal brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The Defendants filed a response on March 17, 2014 and the Plaintiffs will have 30 days from the date of the response to reply back to the court.

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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, 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.

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 consolidated financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):
iShares ETF | Diversification Classification | |||
MSCI BRIC | Diversified | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Asia | Diversified | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Consumer Discretionary | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Energy Capped | Non-diversified |

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 carries out its investment strategies associated with investment in Indian securities by investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Republic of Mauritius (each, a “Subsidiary”), which in turn invests in Indian securities included in the underlying index. The investment adviser of each Fund also serves as the investment adviser to each Subsidiary. Through this investment structure, each Fund expects to obtain certain benefits under a current tax treaty between Mauritius and India. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for each Fund include the accounts of its Subsidiary.
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.
Each Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
The United States and the European Union have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and a financial institution. The United States or the European Union could also institute broader sanctions on Russia. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. These sanctions could also result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities, impairing the ability of the Funds to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities.
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

iSHARES®, INC.
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 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | 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 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
80 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
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 |
• | 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 February 28, 2014. The breakdown of each Fund’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its respective consolidated schedule of investments.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
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 consolidated 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 February 28, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Each Fund conducts its investment activities in India through its Subsidiary and expects to obtain benefits under the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (“DTAA”). In order to be eligible to claim benefits under the DTAA, each Subsidiary must satisfy certain conditions, including the establishment and maintenance of valid tax residence in Mauritius. Each Subsidiary is subject to tax in Mauritius on its net income at the rate of 15%. However, a system of tax credits effectively reduces the Mauritius income tax rate to a maximum of 3%. These income taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations. Further, each Subsidiary is not subject to tax in Mauritius on any gains from the sale of securities. Any dividends paid by a Subsidiary to its Fund will also be exempt from tax in Mauritius. The foregoing is based upon current interpretation and practice and is subject to future changes in the tax laws of India or Mauritius and in the DTAA.
As a result of legislative changes enacted by the 2012 India Finance Act (“the Act”) and its general anti-avoidance rules (“GAAR”), which are effective April 1, 2013 but have been proposed to be deferred until April 1, 2016, the Subsidiaries’ ability to leverage the treaty between Mauritius and India may be adversely impacted, and therefore the Funds may be subject to taxes on capital gains and/or dividends realized on Indian securities. The Act also includes provisions that impose Indian tax on the transfer of shares of an Indian company. However, until more definitive guidance on the legislative changes is available, the impact to the Funds, if any, cannot be determined at this time.

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.
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, 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 . 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. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations.
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, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by 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.
Each Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with BFA under which BFA provides investment advisory services to the Subsidiary but does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiary for providing it with such services. Each Subsidiary has also entered into separate arrangements that provide for the provision of other services to the Subsidiary (including administrative, custody, transfer agency and other services), and BFA pays the costs and expenses related to the provision of those services.
For its investment advisory services to each of the iShares MSCI BRIC, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Consumer Discretionary, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Energy Capped, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Minimum Volatility and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Small-Cap ETFs, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on each Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
Investment Advisory Fee | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets | ||||
0.75 | % | First $14 billion | |||
0.68 | Over $14 billion, up to and including $28 billion | ||||
0.61 | Over $28 billion, up to and including $42 billion | ||||
0.56 | Over $42 billion, up to and including $56 billion | ||||
0.50 | Over $56 billion, up to and including $70 billion | ||||
0.45 | Over $70 billion, up to and including $84 billion | ||||
0.40 | Over $84 billion |
BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Minimum Volatility ETF through December 31, 2014 in order to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.25% of average daily net assets.
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 85 |

iSHARES®, INC.
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 ETF | Investment Advisory Fee | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Asia | 0.68 | % | ||
MSCI Emerging Markets Growth | 0.68 | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Value | 0.68 |
BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Asia, iShares Emerging Markets Growth and iShares Emerging Markets Value ETFs through December 31, 2014 in order to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.49% 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”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014 each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) each Fund retains 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount each Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, each Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, each Fund paid to BTC the following amounts in total for securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees:
iShares ETF | Fees Paid to BTC | |||
MSCI BRIC | $ | 44,614 | ||
MSCI Emerging Markets Asia | 1,846 | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Consumer Discretionary | 396 | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Energy Capped | 76 | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Growth | 331 | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Minimum Volatility | 45,495 | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Small-Cap | 7,001 | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Value | 431 |
In addition, commencing the business day following a “Hurdle Date” (the date that the aggregate securities lending income generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013 or lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Funds and BTC) and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, (i) each Fund will receive for the remainder

of that calendar year 80% of securities lending income (for any Hurdle Date after January 1, 2015, each Fund will retain 75% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Asia ETF and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Small-Cap ETF received payments from BTC to compensate for foregone securities lending revenue. The payments are reported in the consolidated statements of operations under “Payment from affiliate”.
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 consolidated 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.

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 consolidated statements of changes in net assets.
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 87 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
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 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.
5. | 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.
As of August 31, 2013, the Funds’ fiscal year-end, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2014, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ consolidated financial statements.
6. | LINE OF CREDIT |
The Funds, along with certain other iShares funds, are parties to a $150 million credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which expires October 29, 2014. The line of credit may be used for temporary or emergency purposes, including redemptions, settlement of trades and rebalancing of portfolio holdings. The credit agreement has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the U.S. Federal Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. The commitment fee is allocated to each fund participating in the credit agreement based on each fund’s pro-rata share of the aggregate average daily value of assets invested in local securities of certain foreign markets.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the maximum amounts borrowed, the average borrowings and the weighted average interest rates under the credit agreement were as follows:
iShares ETF | Maximum Amount Borrowed | Average Borrowings | Weighted Average Interest Rates | |||||||||
MSCI BRIC | $ | 1,165,000 | $ | 66,215 | 1.17 | % | ||||||

iSHARES® MSCI ALL COUNTRY WORLD MINIMUM VOLATILITY ETF
Performance as of February 28, 2014
The iShares MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of developed and emerging market equities that, in the aggregate, have lower volatility characteristics relative to the broader developed and emerging equity markets, as represented by the MSCI ACWI Minimum Volatility (USD) Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, the total return for the Fund was 7.63%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 7.54%.

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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, 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.

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 ETF | Diversification Classification | |||
MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets EMEA | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI Frontier 100 | Non-diversified | |||
MSCI World | Diversified |
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.
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.
Each Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
The United States and the European Union have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and a financial institution. The United States or the European Union could also institute broader sanctions on Russia. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. These sanctions could also result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities, impairing the ability of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets EMEA ETF to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities.
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
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 45 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
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 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | 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 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 |
• | 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 February 28, 2014. 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
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 or deferred as of February 28, 2014, 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.

iSHARES®, INC.
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.
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 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. 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. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of February 28, 2014, the following Funds had securities on loan with a market value as disclosed in the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities:
iShares ETF | Market Value of Securities on Loan | |||
MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility | $ | 27,835,585 | ||
MSCI Emerging Markets EMEA | 19,064 | |||
MSCI World | 765,824 |

Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
As of February 28, 2014, the value of the related collateral, as disclosed in the Funds’ schedules of investments, exceeded the market value of the securities on loan.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by 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.
For its investment advisory services to the iShares MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net asset of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
Investment Advisory Fee | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets | ||||
0.35 | % | First $30 billion | |||
0.32 | Over $30 billion, up to and including $60 billion | ||||
0.28 | Over $60 billion |
BFA has voluntarily waived a portion of its investment advisory fees for the iShares MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility ETF in the amount of $708,818.
BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the iShares MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility ETF through December 31, 2014 in an amount equal to the investment advisory fees payable on the amount of the Fund’s investment in other iShares funds. In association with this agreement, for the six months ended February 28, 2014, BFA waived its investment advisory fees for iShares MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility ETF in the amount of $6,390.
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 ETF | Investment Advisory Fee | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets EMEA | 0.68 | % | ||
MSCI Frontier 100 | 0.79 | |||
MSCI World | 0.24 |
BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets EMEA ETF through December 31, 2014 in order to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.49% 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”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014, each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral

investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) the iShares MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility ETF and iShares MSCI World ETF (the “Group 1 Funds”) retain 70% of securities lending income and (ii) the amount retained can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, each Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets EMEA ETF and iShares MSCI Frontier 100 ETF (the “Group 2 Funds”) retain 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount each Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, each Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, each Fund paid to BTC the following amounts in total for securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees:
iShares ETF | Fees Paid to BTC | |||
MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility | $ | 28,057 | ||
MSCI Emerging Markets EMEA | 207 | |||

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
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 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. | 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.
As of August 31, 2013, the Funds’ fiscal year ended, the Funds had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:
iShares ETF | Non- Expiring | |||
MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility | $ | 1,844,397 | ||
MSCI Emerging Markets EMEA | 55,073 | |||
MSCI World | 18,886 |
The Funds may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Funds may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.
As of February 28, 2014, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2014, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.
6. | LINE OF CREDIT |
The iShares MSCI Frontier 100 ETF, along with certain other iShares funds, is a party to a $150 million credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which expires October 29, 2014. The line of credit may be used for temporary or emergency purposes, including redemptions, settlement of trades and rebalancing of portfolio holdings. The credit agreement has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the U.S. Federal Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. The commitment fee is allocated to each fund participating in the credit agreement based on each fund’s pro-rata share of the aggregate average daily value of assets invested in local securities of certain foreign markets.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund’s maximum amount borrowed, the average borrowings and the weighted average interest rate under the credit agreement were $700,000, $38,674 and 1.17%, respectively.

Fund Performance Overview
iSHARES® MSCI GLOBAL SILVER MINERS ETF
Performance as of February 28, 2014
The iShares MSCI Global Silver Miners ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of global equities of companies primarily engaged in the business of silver mining, as represented by the MSCI ACWI Select Silver Miners Investable Market Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, the total return for the Fund was -4.59%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was -4.52%.

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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, 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.

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.
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.
Each Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
The United States and the European Union have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and a financial institution. The United States or the European Union could also institute broader sanctions on Russia. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. These sanctions could also result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities, impairing the ability of the Funds to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities.
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
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 37 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES®, INC.
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 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | 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 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 |
• | 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 February 28, 2014. 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
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 February 28, 2014, 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.
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 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. 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. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

As of February 28, 2014, the value of the related collateral, as disclosed in the Funds’ schedules of investments, exceeded the market value of the securities on loan.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by 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.
For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.39% based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.
BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the iShares MSCI Global Agriculture Producers and iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETFs through December 31, 2014 in an amount equal to the investment advisory fees payable on the amount of each Fund’s investment in other iShares funds. The iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF did not hold any iShares funds during the six months ended February 28, 2014.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014, each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) each Fund retains 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount each Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, each Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.

In addition, commencing the business day following a “Hurdle Date” (the date that the aggregate securities lending income generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013 or lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Funds and BTC) and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, (i) each Fund will receive for the remainder of that calendar year 80% of securities lending income (for any Hurdle Date after January 1, 2015, each Fund will retain 75% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
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.
The iShares MSCI Global Agriculture Producers and iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETFs, in order to improve their portfolio liquidity and their ability to track their respective underlying index, may invest in shares of other iShares funds that invest in securities in each Fund’s respective underlying index.
Investments in issuers considered to be affiliates of the Funds (excluding money market funds) during the six months ended February 28, 2014, for purposes of Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, were as follows:

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 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.
5. | 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.

iSHARES® CORE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
Performance as of February 28, 2014
The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of large-, mid- and small-capitalization emerging market equties, as represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Investable Market Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, the total return for the Fund was 5.28%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 5.33%.

FUND PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW | 5 |
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 the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
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 the 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 Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
iSHARES® CORE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
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 consolidated financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):
iShares Core ETF | Diversification Classification | |
MSCI Emerging Markets | Diversified |
The investment objective of the 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 the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund carries out its investment strategies associated with investment in Indian securities by investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Republic of Mauritius (the “Subsidiary”), which in turn invests in Indian securities included in the underlying index. The investment adviser of the Fund also serves as the investment adviser to the Subsidiary. Through this investment structure, the Fund expects to obtain certain benefits under a current tax treaty between Mauritius and India. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Fund include the accounts of the Subsidiary.
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 Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
The United States and the European Union have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and a financial institution. The United States or the European Union could also institute broader sanctions on Russia. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. These sanctions could also result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities, impairing the ability of the Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities.
Pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its 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
The 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 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 Fund. The investments of the 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
• | Financial futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
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 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 the 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
40 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® CORE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
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 |
• | 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 Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2014. The breakdown of the Fund’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its consolidated schedule of investments.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Fund may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

iSHARES® CORE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Fund 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.
The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Fund as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.
FOREIGN TAXES
The Fund 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 Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its consolidated statement 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 February 28, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
The Fund conducts its investment activities in India through the Subsidiary and expects to obtain benefits under the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (“DTAA”). In order to be eligible to claim benefits under the DTAA, the Subsidiary must satisfy certain conditions, including the establishment and maintenance of valid tax residence in Mauritius. The Subsidiary is subject to tax in Mauritius on its net income at the rate of 15%. However, a system of tax credits effectively reduces the Mauritius income tax rate to a maximum of 3%. These income taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are disclosed in the consolidated statement of operations. Further, the Subsidiary is not subject to tax in Mauritius on any gains from the sale of securities. Any dividends paid by the Subsidiary to the Fund will also be exempt from tax in Mauritius. The foregoing is based upon current interpretation and practice and is subject to future changes in the tax laws of India or Mauritius and in the DTAA.
As a result of legislative changes enacted by the 2012 India Finance Act (“the Act”) and its general anti-avoidance rules (“GAAR”), which are effective April 1, 2013 but have been proposed to be deferred until April 1, 2016, the Subsidiary’s ability to leverage the treaty between Mauritius and India may be adversely impacted, and therefore the Fund may be subject to taxes on capital gains and/or dividends realized on Indian securities. The Act also includes provisions that impose Indian tax on the transfer of shares of an Indian company. However, until more definitive guidance on the legislative changes is available, the impact to the Fund, if any, cannot be determined at this time.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends and distributions paid by the 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 Fund.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Company’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as
42 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® CORE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities 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. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the consolidated statement of operations.
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 Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. The Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of February 28, 2014, the Fund had securities on loan with a market value of $69,570,995 as disclosed in the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The value of the related collateral, as disclosed in the Fund’s consolidated schedule of investments, exceeded the value of the securities on loan at period end.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with BFA under which BFA provides investment advisory services to the Subsidiary but does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiary for providing it with such services. The Subsidiary
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 43 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® CORE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF
has also entered into separate arrangements that provide for the provision of other services to the Subsidiary (including administrative, custody, transfer agency and other services), and BFA pays the costs and expenses related to the provision of those services.
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.18% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.
BFA has voluntarily waived a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund in the amount of $501,946.
BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund through December 31, 2014 in an amount equal to the investment advisory fees payable on the amount of the Fund’s investment in other iShares funds. The Fund did not hold any iShares funds during the six months ended February 28, 2014.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014 the Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) the Fund retains 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount the Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, the Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund paid to BTC securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees in the amount of $258,047.
In addition, commencing the business day following a “Hurdle Date” (the date that the aggregate securities lending income generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013 or lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Fund and BTC) and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, (i) the Fund will receive for the remainder of that calendar year 80% of securities lending income (for any Hurdle Date after January 1, 2015, the Fund will retain 75% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for the Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Fund.
The 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 consolidated statement of operations.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes.

The Fund, in order to improve its portfolio liquidity and its ability to track its underlying index, may invest in shares of other iShares funds that invest in securities in the Fund’s underlying index.
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 February 28, 2014, were $1,396,185,399 and $108,583,675, respectively.
In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the six months ended February 28, 2014, were $422,113,394 and $ —, respectively.
4. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the 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 the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the consolidated 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 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.
5. | 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 Fund. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Fund 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 Fund’s 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.
The Fund may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Fund may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.
As of February 28, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $3,779,621,623. Net unrealized depreciation was $95,710,592, of which $205,056,749 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $300,767,341 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of February 28, 2014, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements.

6. | FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS |
The Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts in an effort to help the Fund track its underlying index. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.
The following table shows the value of futures contracts held by the Fund as of February 28, 2014 and the related locations in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, presented by risk exposure category:

7. | LINE OF CREDIT |
The Fund, along with certain other iShares funds, is a party to a $150 million credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which expires October 29, 2014. The line of credit may be used for temporary or emergency purposes, including redemptions, settlement of trades and rebalancing of portfolio holdings. The credit agreement has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the U.S. Federal Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. The commitment fee is allocated to each fund participating in the credit agreement based on each fund’s pro-rata share of the aggregate average daily value of assets invested in local securities of certain foreign markets.

iSHARES® MSCI GERMANY ETF
Performance as of February 28, 2014
The iShares MSCI Germany ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of German equities, as represented by the MSCI Germany Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, the total return for the Fund was 24.56%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 24.86%.

Certain sectors and markets performed exceptionally well based on market conditions during the six-month period. Achieving such exceptional returns involves the risk of volatility and investors should not expect that such exceptional returns will be repeated.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. See “About Fund Performance” on page 6 for more information.

FUND PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW | 5 |
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 September 1, 2013 and held through February 28, 2014, 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.

iSHARES® MSCI GERMANY ETF
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 fund (the “Fund”):
iShares ETF | Diversification Classification | |
MSCI Germany | Non-diversified |
The investment objective of the 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 the Fund’s investment objective.
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 Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; 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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market and frontier market countries.
Pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its 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
The 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 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
14 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI GERMANY ETF
Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the 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”).
• | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last traded price. |
• | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
• | Financial futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
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 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 the 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 |
• | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI GERMANY ETF
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.
As of February 28, 2014, the value of each of the Fund’s investments was classified as Level 1. The breakdown of the Fund’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its schedule of investments.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of February 28, 2014 are reflected in dividends receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Fund may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Fund 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.
The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Fund as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.
FOREIGN TAXES
The Fund 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 Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its statement 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 February 28, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends and distributions paid by the 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 Fund.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Company’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment
16 | 2014 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI GERMANY ETF
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities 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. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. 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 BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates.
As of February 28, 2014, 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 February 28, 2014 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the statement of operations.
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 Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. The Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
As of February 28, 2014, the Fund had securities on loan with a market value of $38,850,407 as disclosed in the Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities. The value of the related collateral, as disclosed in the Fund’s schedule of investments, exceeded the value of the securities on loan at period end.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BFA manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 17 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
iSHARES® MSCI GERMANY ETF
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
Investment Advisory Fee | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets | ||||
0.59 | % | First $7 billion | |||
0.54 | Over $7 billion, up to and including $11 billion | ||||
0.49 | Over $11 billion, up to and including $24 billion | ||||
0.44 | Over $24 billion, up to and including $48 billion | ||||
0.40 | Over $48 billion |
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Effective January 1, 2014, the Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% until December 31, 2014 and 0.05% thereafter (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2014, (i) the Fund retains 75% of securities lending income (commencing January 1, 2015 the amount the Fund will retain is expected to change to 70% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. Prior to January 1, 2014, the Fund retained 65% of securities lending income and paid no collateral investment fees.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund paid to BTC securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees in the amount of $109,253.
In addition, commencing the business day following a “Hurdle Date” (the date that the aggregate securities lending income generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013 or lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Fund and BTC) and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, (i) the Fund will receive for the remainder of that calendar year 80% of securities lending income (for any Hurdle Date after January 1, 2015, the Fund will retain 75% of securities lending income) and (ii) these amounts can never be less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for the Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Fund.
The 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 statement of operations.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund 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 February 28, 2014, were $150,275,054 and $143,885,747, respectively.
In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the six months ended February 28, 2014, were $655,862,379 and $143,705,697, respectively.
4. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the 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 the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the statement 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 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.
5. | 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 Fund. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Fund 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 Fund’s 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.
As of August 31, 2013 the Fund’s fiscal year-end, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:
Non- Expiring a | Expiring 2015 | Expiring 2016 | Expiring 2017 | Expiring 2018 | Expiring 2019 | Total | ||||||||||||||||||||
$13,389,269 | $ | 4,227,713 | $ | 3,394,735 | $ | 27,790,050 | $ | 28,490,949 | $ | 32,215,954 | $ | 109,508,670 |
a | Must be utilized prior to losses subject to expiration. |
The Fund may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Fund may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.
As of February 28, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $5,441,828,701. Net unrealized appreciation was $914,316,853, of which $1,154,281,020 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $239,964,167 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.

iSHARES® MSCI GERMANY ETF
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of February 28, 2014, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s financial statements.
6. | FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS |
The Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts in an effort to help the Fund track its underlying index. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.
The following table shows the value of futures contracts held by the Fund as of February 28, 2014 and the related locations in the statement of assets and liabilities, presented by risk exposure category:
