Global Investors International Inc. (the Sponsor), a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC. The Trust is governed by the Depositary Trust Agreement executed at the time of organization of the Trust by the Trustee and
the Sponsor (the Trust Agreement).

The objective of the Trust is for the value of the iShares to reflect, at any given time, the price of
silver owned by the Trust at that time, less the Trusts expenses and liabilities. The Trust is designed to provide a vehicle for investors to own interests in silver.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying unaudited
financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all material
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements have been made. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year
period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Trusts financial statements included in its Registration Statement on Form S-1 as filed with the SEC on April 24, 2006.



|A. | Silver
|-- | ------

JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., acting through its London Branch
(the Custodian), is responsible for safekeeping the silver owned by the Trust.

For financial statement purposes, the silver held by the Trust
is valued at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method. Should the market value of the silver held be lower than its average cost, an adjustment of value below cost (market value reserve) is recorded by the Trust. Gain
or loss on sales of silver is calculated on a trade date basis. Fair value of the silver is based on the price for an ounce of silver set each working day by three market making members of The London Bullion Market Association (the London
Fix).

|B. | Redeemable Capital Shares
|-- | -------------------------

Shares of the Trust are classified as
redeemable for balance sheet purposes, since they are subject to redemption. Trust shares are issued and redeemed continuously in aggregations of 50,000 shares in exchange for silver rather than cash. Individual investors cannot purchase
or redeem shares in direct transactions with the Trust. The Trust only transacts with registered broker-dealers eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of the Depository Trust Company and which have entered into
a contractual arrangement with the Trust and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption processes (such broker-dealers are the Authorized Participants). Holders of shares of the Trust may redeem their shares
at any time acting through an Authorized Participant and in the prescribed aggregations of 50,000 shares; provided,that redemptions of shares may be suspended during any period while regular trading on the AMEX is suspended or restricted, or
in which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of silver is not reasonably practicable.

The per-share amount of silver
exchanged for a purchase or redemption is calculated daily by the Trustee, using the London Fix to calculate the silver amount in respect of any liabilities for which covering silver sales have not yet been made, and represents the per-share amount
of silver held by the Trust, after giving effect to its liabilities, sales to cover expenses and liabilities and any losses that may have occurred.

When
silver is exchanged in settlement of a redemption, it is considered a sale of silver for financial statement purposes.

Due to the expected continuing
sales and redemption of capital stock and the three-day period for share settlement the Trust reflects capital shares sold as a receivable, rather than as contra equity. Shares redeemed are reflected as a liability on the trade date. Outstanding
Trust shares are reflected at redemption value, which is the net asset value per share at the period ended date. Adjustments to redemption value are reflected in shareholders equity.

Net asset value is computed by deducting all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities of the Trust, including the Trustees and Sponsors fees, from the
fair value of the silver held by the Trust.

|* | Date of Inception
|- | -----------------



|C. | Federal Income Taxes
|-- | --------------------

The Trust is treated as a grantor
trust for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Any interest and gains and losses are deemed passed through to the holders of shares of the Trust.



|D. | Expenses
|-- | --------

The Trust pays to the Sponsor a fee that accrues daily at
an annualized rate equal to 0.50% of the adjusted daily net asset value of the Trust, paid monthly in arrears. The Sponsor has agreed to assume the following administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust: the Trustees monthly
fee, the custodians fee, AMEX listing fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, and up to $100,000 per annum in legal fees and expenses. The Sponsor has also paid the costs of the Trusts
organization and the initial sales of the shares, including applicable SEC registration fees.



|E. | Related Parties
|-- | ---------------

The Sponsor and the Trustee are considered to be
related parties to the Trust. The Trustees fee is paid by the Sponsor and is not a separate expense of the Trust.



|F. | Indemnifications
|-- | ----------------

Under the Trusts organizational documents,
the Sponsor is indemnified against liabilities or expenses it incurs without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may
be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.



|2. | CONCENTRATION RISK
|-- | ------------------

Substantially all of the Trusts assets are
holdings of silver, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of silver. Accordingly, a decline in the price of silver will have an adverse effect on the value of the shares of the Trust. Factors that may have the
effect of causing a decline in the price of silver include a change in economic conditions (such as a recession), an increase in the hedging activities of silver producers, and changes in the attitude towards silver of speculators, investors and
other market participants.

Introduction

The Trust is a
grantor trust formed under the laws of the State of New York. The Trust does not have any officers, directors, or employees, and is administered by The Bank of New York (the Trustee) acting as trustee pursuant to a Depositary Trust
Agreement between the Trustee and Barclays Global Investors International Inc., the sponsor of the Trust (the Sponsor). The Trust issues shares representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets. The assets of the
Trust consist primarily of silver held by a custodian as an agent of the Trust and responsible only to the Trustee.

The Trust is a passive investment
vehicle, and the objective of the Trust is merely for the value of each share approximately to reflect, at any given time, the price of silver owned by the Trust less the Trusts liabilities (anticipated to be principally for accrued operating
expenses) divided by the number of outstanding shares. The Trust does not engage in any activities designed to obtain a profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of silver.

The Trust issues and redeems shares only in exchange for silver, only in aggregations of 50,000 shares or integral multiples thereof, and only in transactions with
registered broker-dealers that have previously entered into an agreement with the Trust governing the terms and conditions of such issuance (such dealers, the Authorized Participants). A list of current Authorized Participants is
available from the Sponsor or the Trustee.

Shares of the Trust trade on the AMEX under the symbol SLV.

Valuation of Silver; Computation of Net Asset Value.

On each
business day, as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. (New York time), the Trustee evaluates the silver held by the Trust and determines the net asset value of the Trust and the net asset value per share. The Trustee values the silver held by the
Trust using the announced London Fix. Having valued the silver held by the Trust, the Trustee then subtracts all accrued fees (other than the fees to be computed by reference to the value of the Trust or its assets), expenses and other liabilities
of the Trust from the value of the silver and other assets of the Trust. The result is the adjusted net asset value of the Trust, which is used to compute all fees (including the Trustees fee and the Sponsors fee), which are calculated
from the value of the Trusts assets. To determine the net asset value of the Trust, the Trustee subtracts from the adjusted net asset value of the Trust the amount of accrued fees computed from the value of the Trusts assets. The Trustee
also computes the net asset value per share, by dividing the net asset value of the Trust by the number of shares outstanding at the time the computation is made.

Liquidity

The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to
its liquidity needs. In exchange for a fee (the Sponsors fee) the Sponsor has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report
was the Sponsors fee. The Trusts only source of liquidity is its sales of silver.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements relies on estimates and assumptions that
impact the Trusts financial position and results of operations. These estimates and assumptions affect the Trusts application of accounting policies. Below we describe the valuation of silver, a critical accounting policy that we believe
is important to understanding our results of operations and financial position. In addition, please refer to Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.

Valuation of Silver

Silver held by the Trust is recorded at the
lower of cost or market. For purposes of this calculation, market values are based on the London Fix. Should the market value of the silver held be lower than its average cost, impairment to the carrying value of the silver will be recorded and the
London Fix will be used as the value for financial statement purposes. As indicated above, the London Fix is also used to value silver held for purposes of calculating the net asset value of the Trust, which in turn is used for the calculation of
the redemption value of outstanding Trust shares.

There are other indicators of the value of silver that are available that could be different than that
chosen by the Trust. The London Fix is used since it is commonly used by the U.S. silver market as an indicator of the value of silver, and is required by the Depositary Trust Agreement. The use of an indicator of value of silver other than the
London Fix could result in materially different fair value pricing of the silver in the Trust, and as such, could result in different lower of cost or market adjustments or in different redemption value adjustments of the outstanding redeemable
capital shares.

The Period from April 21, 2006 to June 30, 2006

The Trusts net asset value grew from $18,277,500 at April 21, 2006 to $887,285,023 at June 30, 2006, a 4,754.52% increase. The increase in the Trusts net asset value resulted primarily from an
increase in outstanding shares, which rose from 150,000 at April 21, 2006 to 8,300,000 at June 30, 2006 due to 8,850,000 shares (177 baskets, each basket consisting of 50,000 shares) being created and 700,000 shares (14 baskets, each
basket consisting of 50,000 shares) being redeemed during the quarter.

A negative change in the London Fix price, which declined 12.19% from $12.185 at
April 21, 2006 to $10.70 at June 30, 2006, directly relates to the 12.27% decline in the Trusts net asset value per outstanding share from $121.85 at April 21, 2006 to $106.90 at June 30, 2006, which tracked the change in
the London Fix price.

The Trusts net asset value per share declined slightly more than the price of silver on a percentage basis due to
Sponsors fees, which were $658,999 for the quarter, or 0.09% of the Trusts average weighted assets of $696,834,435 during the quarter. The net asset value per share of $149.37 at May 12, 2006 was the highest during the quarter,
compared with a low of $97.13 at June 14, 2006. The net asset value of the Trust is obtained by subtracting the Trusts expenses and liabilities on any day from the value of the silver owned by the Trust on that day; the net asset value
per share is obtained by dividing the net asset value of the Trust on a given day by the number of shares outstanding on that date.

Net loss for the
period from April 21, 2006 through June 30, 2006 was $192,166,160, resulting from a net loss of $39,464 on the sale of silver to pay expenses and a net loss of $8,377,373 on silver distributed for the redemption of shares, offset by
Sponsors fees of $658,999 and a market value reserve of $183,090,324. Other than the Sponsors fees, the Trust had no other ordinary or extraordinary expenses during the quarter.
