Dear Green Century Funds Shareholder:

 

Fiscal year 2003 was a bright period for the Green Century Funds. A highlight was the Balanced Fund’s 36.83% total return for the one-year period ended July 31, 2003. This was the best performance among 514 balanced funds tracked by Lipper, and surpassed the 9.33% return generated by the Lipper Balanced Fund Index.1 The Equity Fund also had a healthy return of 10.77% for the same one-year period, which slightly beat the S&P 500® Index’s return of 10.64% for the period. 2

The performance of both Funds during the year helps to show that competitive financial results and environmental accountability can go hand in hand. This is just what the Green Century Funds’ founding partnership of environmental advocacy groups set out to show when they formed the Green Century Funds in 1991. And the concept is catching on with investors, who made over $21 million in net new investments in both Funds during the fiscal year.

Additional positive developments during the period were achieved in the area of shareholder advocacy, as Green Century Capital Management, Inc. (“Green Century”), which administers the Green Century Funds, made progress in pressing companies to become better environmental citizens. Recent efforts include urging Kraft to avoid use of genetically modified foods, advocating that Dell, Inc. recycle computers, and convincing BP plc that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge must be preserved.3 More details on these campaigns are provided below.

Congress also helped to strengthen the movement for greater corporate responsibility during the year by working to reduce the risk of scandals such as the Enron bankruptcy. A key event in this regard was the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which is designed to improve corporate governance practices. However, there is no guarantee that these reforms will prevent future scandals, and the Green Century Funds’ portfolio managers continue to believe that companies with clean or proactive environmental records may be less likely to run afoul of regulations in general.

Also on the regulatory front, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted regulations during 2003 requiring that all mutual funds disclose their proxy voting guidelines as well as their actual proxy votes. This move should bring significantly more attention to important environmental issues that are voted on at company annual meetings. The Green Century Funds’ proxy voting guidelines will be available at www.greencentury.com later this year. Investors will also be able to request a paper copy of this document over the phone.


The Green Century Balanced Fund’s return for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 was 36.83%, compared to 9.33% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index.1 Additional returns for various time periods are:*

   Green Century Balanced Fund   14.36%   5.21%   8.53%

   Green Century Balanced Fund   36.83%   7.92%   9.14%
     Lipper Balanced Fund Index   9.33%   2.27%   7.71%

 

The Balanced Fund outperformed the Lipper Balanced Fund Index for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 due to pockets of stronger performance in smaller capitalization growth stocks. The investment strategy that drove this performance was predicated on selecting companies that tend to grow when the economy is sluggish. The companies must be environmentally benign or proactive in solving environmental problems, and they tend to have high-growth characteristics. They also tend to be small firms and, partly as a result of their size, they generally have more volatile stock and bond prices than larger companies. This contributes to the Green Century Balanced Fund producing more varied returns than most other balanced funds, which typically hold fewer smaller capitalization growth companies.

During the year, the Fund’s portfolio manager increased exposure to the healthcare, medical products, and software sectors while divesting portions of the portfolio held in consumer durables and certain healthy living companies. In the face of war and persistent negative economic news, this change allowed for growth by moving the Fund away from companies heavily dependent on consumer spending and traditional economic cycles. In addition, interest rates declined during the fiscal year, which boosted the performance of the Fund’s bond portfolio.

A number of the Fund’s holdings performed well during the year. One particularly strong performer was Harris Interactive, a worldwide market research and consulting firm that produces The Harris Poll®.3 It is the first firm in its sector to switch to an Internet-based business model that takes advantage of low variable costs, high gross margins, and freedom from time-zone and language constraints. Extensive use of the Internet also has the potential to save natural resources such as paper and energy use associated with transportation. A newer holding, Fuel-Tech N.V., is a leading producer of pollution control devices focusing on the reduction of NOx emissions.3 By helping companies reduce their NOx emissions by up to 85%, Fuel-Tech is a good example of a company that has produced both environmental benefits and competitive stock performance.

The Fund’s portfolio manager believes that after the worst bear market since the depression, corporate earnings are showing signs of modest improvement in a slow-growing economy. While there is now clarity about the status of the full-scale war with Iraq, great uncertainty remains about the ultimate duration, aftermath, and financial costs of the conflict. But, in any case, defense spending in Iraq or elsewhere is not likely to have a lasting positive impact on the economy, in the opinion of the portfolio manager. As a result,

the portfolio manager remains convinced that presently the best stocks to own are growth companies whose profitability is independent of fluctuating support from the federal government and from economic cycles.

 

The Green Century Equity Fund’s total return for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 was 10.77%, slightly above that of the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500® Index”) 2 of 10.64%. Additional returns for various time periods are:*

 


AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURN

Green Century Equity Fund   One Year   Five Years   Ten Years4

June 30, 2003

   Green Century Equity Fund   -0.44%   -2.66%   8.99%
     S&P 500® Index   0.25%   -1.61%   10.04%

     S&P 500® Index   10.64%   -1.06%   10.28%

 

The performance of the Fund was helped, relative to the S&P 500® Index, in part by an overweighting of the information technology and telecommunications sectors and an underweighting of the industrial and energy sectors compared to the S&P 500® Index. In terms of specific companies, not holding General Electric, Exxon Mobil, Altria Group and Tenet Healthcare Corp. contributed positively to performance, as did overweighting Cisco Systems, Intel Corp. and Amgen Inc.3

The performance of the Fund was hurt, relative to the S&P 500® Index, in part by an underweighting of the health care sector and an overweighting of the consumer staples sector. Relative performance was also hurt by not holding Citigroup and Wal-Mart and an overweighting of Coca-Cola Co. and SBC Communications Inc.3

 

Shareholder Advocacy—Green Century remains convinced that shareholder advocacy can play an important role in convincing companies to address what we consider to be the most pressing environmental crises. Green Century has made significant progress in a number of its campaigns during the past fiscal year.

In November of last year, Green Century won a significant victory when BP plc, the oil company with the largest stake in Alaska, cancelled its membership in Arctic Power, a lobbying group that works to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling.3 Green Century believes that BP’s decision is an important one that lends considerable strength to the arguments of Green Century and other environmental activists that the Arctic Refuge should be permanently protected from drilling and other types of environmentally destructive activities. Green Century continues to work with its coalition to encourage BP to commit publicly to cancel any plans to drill in the Refuge.

Building upon our successful efforts with BP plc, Green Century has been working to convince ConocoPhillips to take similar steps.3 In January, the Green Century Balanced Fund filed a shareholder resolution requesting that the company produce a report for its shareholders on the financial and environmental risks of drilling in the Refuge. Unfortunately, the SEC allowed ConocoPhillips to avoid

placing this resolution before its shareholders for a vote. Despite this disappointing decision, Green Century has continued to pursue its campaign by engaging with members of the ConocoPhillips board who have expressed opposition to drilling in the Refuge.

Green Century has also made great progress this year in its campaign to convince Dell, Inc. to create an effective program to take back and recycle its customers’ computers.3 In May, Green Century representative Rachel Heller traveled to Austin with a coalition of concerned investors to meet with Dell CEO Michael Dell. While there, she expressed Green Century’s belief that Dell must take responsibility for the waste created by its products. Mr. Dell stated that he was concerned about this issue and wanted to be part of the solution, and the company has made some progress in this direction. Green Century kept the pressure on Dell by attending its annual shareholder meeting in July. Luke Metzger attended the meeting for Green Century and spoke about the environmental threat posed by electronic waste and Dell’s responsibility in this area. Encouragingly, Mr. Dell took time in his address to shareholders at the meeting to discuss the company’s recycling efforts; Ms. Heller had requested that he do so to demonstrate the importance of this issue. Green Century continues to monitor Dell’s progress and encourage the company to develop an innovative program that will take back obsolete Dell computers and dispose of them in an environmentally responsible manner.

In addition to these campaigns, Green Century representatives attended shareholder meetings for Kraft, Southern Company, and Ford Motor Company.3 Green Century is advocating that Kraft stop using genetically engineered ingredients in its products, and asking Southern Company and Ford to reduce air pollution from their power plants and cars, respectively. Our efforts targeting Southern and Ford are particularly significant as they could have an important impact in dealing with global warming, which Green Century regards as one of the greatest threats facing the planet.

After a year in which we have continued to see the impact that irresponsible corporate behavior can have on the environment and on the lives of millions of Americans, Green Century is more dedicated than ever to using shareholder activism to encourage companies to do the right thing for the environment and for society.

 

Respectfully,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

GREEN CENTURY BALANCED FUND

 

Investment Objective—The Green Century Balanced Fund seeks capital growth and income from a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds which meet Green Century’s standards for corporate environmental responsibility.

 

Portfolio Orientation—In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, equity holdings focused on smaller capitalization growth companies that are believed to have earnings growth greater than that of the overall market; a rate of growth that the Balanced Fund’s portfolio manager believes has the potential to generate competitive stock performance in the long term. Many of the environmentally distinguished companies in which the Fund seeks to invest tend to fit into this category. Investments in such companies may offer greater opportunities for growth as well as greater risks for price fluctuations than larger, more established companies. Smaller companies may lack the management experience, financial resources and product diversification of larger companies, and the frequency and volume of their trading may be less than that of larger companies. The fixed-income portion of the portfolio is comprised of debt of investment and non-investment grade environmentally responsible companies.

 

Economic Environment—Recent economic indicators have sent conflicting signals to the market. Interest rates fell throughout the fiscal year, nearing historic lows in June and then rising throughout July, hinting that the economy may be heating up. Yet the toll of layoffs continues to rise. In the portfolio manager’s view, it is not clear that President Bush’s tax cuts and increased defense spending will aid the economy, especially in the face of skyrocketing state and federal budget deficits and investors’ uncertainty about the duration, aftermath, and financial costs of ongoing military operations.

 

Investment Strategy and Performance—The Balanced Fund’s investment advisers believe that environmental responsibility may enhance corporate profitability, which in turn may produce competitive returns. Environmentally sound companies may enjoy higher profitability through lower costs and participation in growth sectors of the market. In addition, this investment strategy seeks to avoid companies at risk due to exposure to environmental liability.

 

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, the Balanced Fund significantly outperformed the Lipper Balanced Fund Index primarily due to its heavy weighting in the smaller capitalization growth segment of the market. In particular, the Balanced Fund increased investment in the healthcare, medical products, and software sectors. As of July 31, 2003, the Balanced Fund’s one-year return was 36.83%, while the Lipper Balanced Fund Index returned 9.33% for the year. For the five years ended July 31, 2003, the Balanced Fund and the Lipper Balanced Fund Index’s average annual total returns were 7.92% and 2.27%, respectively. The average annual total returns for the ten years ended July 31, 2003 were 9.14% for the Balanced Fund and 7.71% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

GREEN CENTURY EQUITY FUND

Investment Objective—The Green Century Equity Fund seeks long-term total return which matches the performance of an index comprised of the stocks of approximately 400 companies selected based on environmental and social criteria.

 

Portfolio Orientation—The Equity Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all its investable assets in the Domini Social Index Portfolio (the “Index Portfolio”), which has the same investment objective as the Equity Fund. Like other index funds, the Equity Fund is not actively managed in the traditional investment sense, but rather seeks to be nearly fully invested at all times in a broad and diverse portfolio of stocks which meet certain environmental and social criteria. The Equity Fund, like many other mutual funds invested primarily in stocks, carries the risk of investing in the stock market. The large companies in which the Equity Fund’s portfolio is invested may perform worse that the stock market as a whole.

 

In evaluating stocks for inclusion in the Index Portfolio, a company’s environmental performance, employee relations, corporate citizenship, product quality, and attitudes with regard to consumer issues are considered. Companies are excluded which, based on data available, derive more than 2% of their gross revenues from the sale of military weapons; derive any revenues from the manufacture of tobacco products or alcoholic beverages; derive any revenues from gambling enterprises; own directly or operate nuclear power plants or participate in businesses related to the nuclear fuel cycle.

 

Investment Strategy and Performance—The Equity Fund’s administrator believes that enterprises which exhibit a social awareness should be better prepared to meet future societal needs for goods and services and may be less likely to incur certain legal liabilities that may be assessed when a product or service is determined to be harmful. The Equity Fund’s administrator also believes that such investments may, over the long term, be able to provide investors with a return that is competitive with enterprises that do not exhibit such social and environmental awareness.

 

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, the Equity Fund slightly outperformed the S&P 500® Index. The relative performance of the Fund was helped in part by an overweighting of the information technology and telecommunications sectors and an underweighting of the industrials and energy sectors compared to the S&P 500® Index. On the other hand, the performance of the Fund was hurt in part by an underweighting of the health care sector and an overweighting of the consumer staples sector. As of July 31, 2003, the Equity Fund’s one-year return was 10.77%; the S&P 500® Index produced a similar return of 10.64% for the year. For the five years ended July 31, 2003, the Equity Fund and the S&P 500® Index average annual total returns were -2.02% and -1.06%, respectively. The average annual total returns for the ten years ended July 31, 2003 were 9.30% for the Equity Fund and 10.28% for the S&P 500® Index.*

GREEN CENTURY BALANCED FUND

GREEN CENTURY EQUITY FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Green Century Funds (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust which offers two separate series, the Green Century Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”) and the Green Century Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. The Balanced Fund commenced operations on March 18, 1992 and the Equity Fund commenced operations on September 13, 1995.

The Equity Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Domini Social Index Portfolio (the “Index Portfolio”), an open-end, diversified management investment company having the same investment objective as the Fund. The Equity Fund accounts for its investment in the Index Portfolio as a partnership investment and records its share of the Index Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses daily. The value of such investment reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Index Portfolio (2.23% at July 31, 2003). The financial statements of the Index Portfolio are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Equity Fund’s financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Trust’s significant accounting policies:

  (A) Balanced Fund Investment Valuation:    Equity securities listed on national securities exchanges other than NASDAQ are valued at last sale price. If a last sale price is not available, securities listed on national exchanges other than NASDAQ are valued at the mean between the closing bid and closing ask prices. NASDAQ National Market® and SmallCapSM securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). The NOCP is based on the last traded price if it falls within the concurrent best bid and ask prices and is normalized pursuant to NASDAQ’s published procedures if it falls outside this range. If an NOCP is not available for any such security, the security is valued at the last sale price, or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean between the closing bid and closing ask prices. Unlisted equity securities are valued at last sale price, or when last sale prices are not available, at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service which takes into account appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, and other market data, without exclusive reliance on quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of the securities. Securities, if any, for which there are no such valuations or quotations available are valued at fair value by management as determined in good faith under guidelines established by the Trustees. Short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Equity Fund Investment Valuation:    The Equity Fund records its investment in the Index Portfolio at fair value. Valuation of securities held by the Index Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Index Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.

  (B) Balanced Fund Securities Transactions and Investment Income:    Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are determined using the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date.

Equity Fund Securities Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses:     The Equity Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Index Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses.

 

13


GREEN CENTURY BALANCED FUND

GREEN CENTURY EQUITY FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

 

  (C) Options Transactions:    The Balanced Fund may utilize options to hedge or protect from adverse movements in the market values of its portfolio securities and to enhance return. The use of options may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the option and the underlying securities.

The Balanced Fund may write put or call options. Premiums received upon writing put or call options are recorded as an asset with a corresponding liability which is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option. Changes between the initial premiums received and the current market value of the options are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. When an option is closed, expired or exercised, a gain or loss is realized and the liability is eliminated. The Balanced Fund continues to bear the risk of adverse movements in the price of the underlying assets during the period of the option, although any potential loss during the period would be reduced by the amount of the option premium received. As required by the Act, liquid securities are designated as collateral in an amount equal to the market value of open options contracts.

  (D) Repurchase Agreements:    The Balanced Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with selected banks or broker-dealers. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Balanced Fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities (primarily U.S. Government securities), in a repurchase transaction be maintained in a segregated account with a custodian bank in a manner sufficient to enable the Balanced Fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default of the counterparty.
  (E) Distributions:    Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and pay dividends of net investment income, if any, semi-annually and distribute net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The amount and character of income and net realized gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences, the components of net assets have been adjusted.
  (F) Federal Taxes:    Each series of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income or excise tax are necessary.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders

Green Century Funds:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Green Century Balanced Fund and the Green Century Equity Fund (the “Funds”), portfolios of the Green Century Funds, including the Green Century Balanced Fund’s portfolio of investments as of July 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned by the Green Century Balanced Fund as of July 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. As to securities purchased but not yet received, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Green Century Balanced Fund and the Green Century Equity Fund as of July 31, 2003, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DOMINI SOCIAL INDEX PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 2003

 

NOTE 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Domini Social Index Portfolio is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company that was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on June 7, 1989. The Portfolio intends to correlate its investment portfolio as closely as is practicable with the Domini 400 Social Index,SM which is a common stock index developed and maintained by KLD Research & Analytics, Inc. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio. The Portfolio commenced operations effective on August 10, 1990, and began investment operations on June 3, 1991.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Portfolio’s significant accounting policies.

  (A) Valuation of Investments.    The Portfolio values securities listed or traded on national securities exchanges at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price which represents the current value of the security. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (the “NOCP”). If an NOCP is not available for a security listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, the security will be valued at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price. Portfolio securities for which there are no such quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees.
  (B) Dividend Income.    Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  (C) Federal Taxes.    The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. federal income tax. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxed on its share of the Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Portfolio will be managed in such a way that an investor will be able to satisfy the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
  (D) Other.    Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.

 

NOTE 2 — Transactions With Affiliates

  (A) Manager.    Domini Social Investments LLC (Domini) is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The services provided by Domini consist of investment supervisory services, overall operational support and administrative services. The administrative services include the provision of general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Portfolio. For its services under the Management Agreement, Domini receives from the Portfolio a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.20%. For the year ended July 31, 2003, Domini waived fees totaling $120,067.
  (B) Submanager.    SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (SSgA) provides investment submanagement services to the Portfolio on a day-to-day basis pursuant to a Submanagement Agreement with Domini. SSgA does not determine the composition of the Domini 400 Social Index.SM The Index’s composition is determined by KLD Research & Analytics, Inc.

 

NOTE 3 — Investment Transactions

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2003, aggregated $97,512,592 and $142,322,292, respectively. For the year ended July 31, 2003, custody fees of the Portfolio were reduced by $47,001, which was compensation for uninvested cash left on deposit with the custodian.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

The Board of Trustees and Investors

Domini Social Index Portfolio:

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Domini Social Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian. 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 Domini Social Index Portfolio as of July 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
