Dear Shareholders:

It is impossible to anticipate the full economic and investment impact of the devastating events of September 11th on U.S. and world financial markets and investors. However, while these acts of terror have surely exacerbated pre-existing and short-term weaknesses in global economies and markets, our long-term outlook remains positive.

Prior to the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, stocks in the U.S. and most developed nations were trading lower on concerns about rising unemployment and continued erosion of profits. The economic slowdown which started in late 2000 did not show signs of reversing in the last half of this year, as some had speculated it would.

Despite near-term depressed economic growth, infusion of liquidity into the markets and the U.S. economy through continued action of the Federal Reserve (coupled with Congress's recent multi-billion dollar economic relief package) should provide a counterbalance to the effects of September's tragic events. We anticipate that while some sectors -- most notably tourism, insurance, and airline transportation - are facing significant challenges, others may benefit.

In summary, while the outlook may appear somewhat bleak for the near-term, our long-term view remains confident. We believe the underlying strengths of our markets, economy, and nation will prevail.

I would like to reiterate the importance of keeping a long-term perspective and a diversified portfolio and in seeking the counsel of your financial professional as you make investment decisions. We appreciate your investment in Calvert funds and look forward to working with you to help you achieve your financial goals.

Sincerely,

 

 

Barbara J. Krumsiek

Social

Update

Shareholder Resolutions

This year, Calvert filed our highest number of shareholder resolutions ever - 14 - on issues ranging from equal employment opportunity (EEO) disclosure to workplace violence and global labor accountability. We are pleased to report that because of our successful work with the management of these companies to ameliorate situations of concern, we have now withdrawn 11 of these resolutions. Calvert has also engaged more than 40 companies in dialogues concerning labor and human rights standards, diversity, electronic waste (i.e., recycling computer hardware), climate change, and community lending practices.

The Calvert Social Index is Reconstituted

On September 28, Calvert reconstituted its Calvert Social Index to reflect a revised list of companies that make up its market-weighted index. The reconstitution process changed the composition of the index, with more emphasis on growth stocks and technology than last year. The number of companies in the index rose slightly to 627 from 585 at the end of the reconstitution period. Although the index was reconstructed last fall to incorporate approximately 640 companies, this number had been reduced over the course of the year by the effects of mergers, bankruptcies and other corporate events.

Calvert's Commitment to International Cooperation

Calvert is pleased to confirm its support for the United Nations Secretary-General's Global Compact initiative. Global labor, human rights, and environmental standards are closely linked to Calvert's commitment to build a more sustainable world. We commend this initiative and support greater corporate responsibility around the world.

Please Note: As you will recall, the Fund issued audited financial statements as of June 30, 2001. This report discusses performance since June 30, 2001, and also reviews the earlier period for your reference.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2001

How did the Fund perform?

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Fund's Class I shares returned -17.42%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index which returned -14.67%. The Fund significantly outperformed its peer group of funds, the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Average, which returned -25.82% for the period. Technology stocks were hit particularly hard. Indeed, ten of our Fund holdings were down at least 30% for the quarter, and eight of them were either technology or communications related. Mercifully, our Fund was slightly under-represented in technology stocks coming into the September quarter, which helped our relative quarterly performance. (This is not a "top down" decision, but simply the aggregate result of our models' stockpicks.) Our overweighting in financial and consumer non-cyclicals (especially healthcare) also helped, again on a relative basis.

Twelve Months ended June 30, 2001

How did the Fund perform?

For the year ended June 30, 2001, the Fund's Class I shares returned -27.80%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index which returned -14.82%, but outperforming the Lipper

After leading the market for a long three-year period through March 2000, large cap and especially growth-oriented stocks suffered their worst decline in over a quarter century, corresponding roughly to the fiscal year ending June 2001. Two recent quarters (those ending December 2000 and March 2001) were the first and third worst quarters in Lipper's database of large company growth oriented funds. While growth stocks recovered partially in the June 2001 quarter, the market continued to favor smaller companies. Clearly, the core of our holdings has not

The performance results prior to 10/31/00 for the Class I Shares of the Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund reflect the performance of Bridgeway. Performance results for Class A shares prior to 10/31/00 are for Bridgeway (but have been adjusted to reflect the Class A sales charge).

Total returns assume reinvestment of dividends and reflect the deduction of the Fund's maximum front-end or deferred sales charge. No sales charge has been applied to the index used for comparison. The value of an investment in Class A & Class I shares is plotted in the line graph. The value of an investment in another class of shares would be different depending on sales charges and expenses.

been the "sweet spot" in the market over the last year. In addition, technology stocks were hit particularly hard during the last year, and ours were no exception. Technology companies tend to be more progressive on the social factors on which the Fund is built.

What was your strategy?

Companies with high market valuations and growth rates, especially technology companies, took the brunt of the decline, and ours were no exception. Twenty of our twenty-five worst performing stocks during the past 12 months were related to technology or telecommunications. More recently, technology and telecommunications have represented a relatively "light" 14% of our fund, and this has helped our performance. Consumer non-cyclicals (especially healthcare) and financials comprised our two most heavily-weighted sectors.

What is your Outlook?

Typically, when the market goes strongly against one sector on a sustained basis, it is due for a "comeback." Based on history, a number of factors give us cause for optimism: 1) A string of very negative stock market quarters is frequently followed by a recovery period; 2) The stock market tends to lead, not follow, the economy out of a recession; 3) The stock market has recovered to prewar levels after a major act of war within a one-year timeframe in a majority of cases. With the appropriate caveat that a) past performance does not guarantee future returns and b) calling a market bottom is nearly impossible, we believe that the long term investor should position for eventual recovery. The risk of being out of the market and missing such a recovery isn't worth it.

We continue to position the Fund for the long term, believing this is unequivocally in the best interests of our shareholders. We continue to follow the discipline of our quantitative investment process and pursue our investment objective as communicated in our prospectus. We seek simply to buy one good stock at a time, and embrace this strategy during euphoric bull markets and uncertain bear markets. In short, we will continue to focus intently on what we believe we do best.

 

 

REport of Independent Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund, (one series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund"), as of September 30, 2001, and the related statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and the year ended June 30, 2001, the statements of changes in net assets for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and the year ended June 30, 2001, and the financial highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and the year ended June 30, 2001. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended June 30, 2000 and the financial highlights for the periods presented prior to June 30, 2001 of the Fund, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated August 16, 2000, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund as of September 30, 2001, the results of its operations for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and the year ended June 30, 2001, the changes in its net assets for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and the year ended June 30, 2001, and the financial highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and the year ended June 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note A - Significant Accounting Policies

General: The Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund"), one of two series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 10, 2000. On October 19, 2000, the Fund sold 6,667 shares ("initial shares") valued at $100,000, to Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., the Fund's investment advisor. The Fund began operations on October 31, 2000 and offers four separate classes of shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long the shares have been owned by the investor. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. With certain exceptions, the Fund will impose a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges, and (c) class-specific voting rights.

On October 31, 2000, the Fund, through its Class I shares, acquired substantially all the net assets of the Bridgeway Social Responsibility Portfolio of Bridgeway Fund, Inc., pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated September 22, 2000, and approved by shareholders on October 20, 2000. The acquisition was accomplished by a transfer of all the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of the Bridgeway Social Responsibility Portfolio (valued at $9,205,095) to the Fund. Following the transfer, 308,172 Class I shares of the Fund were distributed to shareholders in liquidation of the Bridgeway Social Responsibility Portfolio. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the Fund or its shareholders. To facilitate the reorganization, a reverse stock split of the initial shares outstanding on October 31, 2000 was effected to adjust the net asset value of the Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund to be the same as that of the Bridgeway Social Responsibility Portfolio on the same date. The aggregate net assets of the Calvert Large Cap Growth Fund and Bridgeway Social Responsibility Portfolio immediately before the acquisition were $100,000 and $9,205,095, respectively.

For financial reporting purposes, the Bridgeway Social Responsibility Portfolio, which commenced operations on August 5, 1994, has been deemed the accounting survivor. Its operations are combined with that of the Fund since the Fund's inception in presenting the Fund's Statement of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets, and Financial Highlights.

The Fund issued audited financial statements as of June 30, 2001, which coincides with the fiscal year end of the Bridgeway Social Responsibility Portfolio. The Fund's fiscal year end is September 30.

 

Security Valuation: Securities, including options, listed or traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Unlisted securities and listed securities for which the last sale price is not available are valued at the most recent bid price or based on a yield equivalent obtained from the securities' market maker. Other securities for which market quotations are not available or deemed inappropriate are valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total repurchase price, including accrued interest. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Options: The Fund may write or purchase option securities. The option premium is the basis for recognition of unrealized or realized gain or loss on the option. The cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities sold through exercise of the option is adjusted by the amount of the premium. Risks from writing or purchasing option securities arise from possible illiquidity of the options market and the movement in the value of the investment or in interest rates. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized, over the lives of the respective securities. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby the custodian's and transfer agent's fees may be paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such a deposit arrangement is an

alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Organization Costs: Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., the Fund's investment advisor, assumed all organization costs of the Fund.

Other: In November 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued a revised version of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). The Guide is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. Management of the Fund has determined that the adoption of the Guide has no significant effect on the Fund's financial statements.
