MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004
International equity markets had generally positive returns for the year
under review. When expressed in local currencies, prices rose in all of the
largest country constituents of the MSCI EAFE Index. Net returns were enhanced
considerably by appreciation in the euro, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, British
pound, Australian dollar and Swedish krona relative to the U.S. dollar. The
overall effect of currency exchange rate changes was a material improvement in
returns for U.S. dollar-based investors: total return for the MSCI EAFE Index
(net dividends) was 13.08% in local currency and 24.19% in U.S. dollars.

Mirroring the U.S. experience, large company growth stocks were the
poorest-performing asset class in international markets, while small company
stocks had the best relative results.

MASTER-FEEDER STRUCTURE
The portfolio described below, called a "Feeder Fund", does not buy
individual securities directly; instead, the portfolio invests in a
corresponding fund called a "Master Fund". The Master Fund, in turn, purchases
stocks, bonds, and/or other securities.
EMERGING MARKETS VALUE PORTFOLIO
The Emerging Markets Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to capture the
returns of value stocks in selected emerging markets by purchasing shares of the
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc., (the "Master Fund") which invests
in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative
approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to emerging
markets value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity
index. As of November 30, 2004, the Master Fund held 1,333 stocks in 16
countries. Through March 2004, allocations reflected a weighting scheme
targeting fixed country weights. Argentina, Chile, Hungary, Philippines, and
Poland receive a half-weight due to their small size and low liquidity relative
to other emerging markets. Since April 2004, target country weights in the
Master Fund were determined by the relative free-float adjusted market
capitalization of eligible securities within each country. Target country
weights are also capped at a ceiling set by the manager to improve portfolio
diversification and limit single-country exposure risk. Free-float adjustment
excludes the share capital of a company that is not freely available for trading
in the public equity markets by international investors. Throughout the year
ended November 30, 2004, the Master Fund was essentially fully invested in
equities throughout the year: cash equivalents averaged less than 0.80% of the
Master Fund's assets.
As a result of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in emerging
country stock markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks.
For the year ended November 30, 2004, emerging markets value stocks outperformed
developed country stocks as well as core emerging markets strategies. Total
returns were 24.19% for the MSCI EAFE Index (net dividends), 25.32% for the MSCI
Emerging Markets Free Index (net dividends), and 46.76% for the Emerging Markets
Value Portfolio. Relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index, superior
performance of the Portfolio was primarily due to greater exposure to stocks
with pronounced value characteristics, defined as a relatively high
book-to-market ratio. The average portfolio weight for stocks falling into the
top quartile when ranked by book-to-market ratio was 71% compared to 18% for the
Index.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact
of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among
others. Operating expenses, legal and audit services, which are deducted from a
fund's gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund's
expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is
known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended help you
understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare
these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an
investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the
entire period.
The Expense Tables below illustrates your fund's costs in two ways.
- ACTUAL FUND RETURN. This section helps you to estimate the actual
expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The "Ending
Account Value" shown is derived from the fund's actual return, and
"Expenses Paid During Period" shows the dollar amount that would have
been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may
use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to
estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000=7.5), then multiply the result
by the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid
During Period."
- HYPOTHETICAL 5% RETURN. This section is intended to help you compare
your fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that
the fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the period shown,
but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case -- because the
return used is not the fund's actual return -- the results do not
apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons
because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual
funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your
fund's cost by comparing this hypothetical example with the
hypothetical examples that appear in shareholders reports of other
funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and
help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs
(if any). The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses for the
six month period indicated and may be different from the expense ratio in the
Financial Highlights which is for the year ended November 30, 2004.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Group") is an open-end
management investment company whose shares are offered, without a sales charge,
generally to institutional investors and clients of registered investment
advisors. The Group offers thirty-six portfolios, one of which, the Emerging
Markets Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is included in this report. Of the
remaining portfolios, thirty-five are presented within four separate reports.
The Portfolio invests all of its assets in the Dimensional Emerging Markets
Value Fund Inc. (the "Fund"). At November 30, 2004, the Portfolio owned 76% of
the outstanding shares of the Fund. The financial statements of the Fund are
included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of the Portfolio.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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
increases and decreases in net assets from operation during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences
could be material.
1. SECURITY VALUATION: The shares of the Fund held by the Portfolio are
valued at its respective daily net asset value.
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Group may
elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). Under the
Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of a
percentage of their total fees earned as a Director. These deferred amounts may
be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following
funds: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA
International Value Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio and/or DFA Two-Year
Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change
in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income, are included in Directors'
Fees and Expenses. At November 30, 2004, the total liability for deferred
compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
in the amount of $9,668.
3. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Costs
used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses
directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of
the Group are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors,
generally based on average net assets.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("Dimensional" or the "Advisor") provides
administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services
provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and the Board of
Directors, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment
advisory services to the Fund. For the year ended November 30, 2004, the
Portfolio's administrative fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the
Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.40 of 1% of average daily net
assets.
Certain officers of the Group are also officers, directors and shareholders
of the Advisor.
10
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for
federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its taxable
income and net capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been
made for federal income taxes.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax
differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital or
accumulated net realized gain, as appropriate, in the period that the
differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of
November 30, 2004, primarily attributable to reclassing distributions between
realized gains and net investment income, were reclassified to the following
accounts (amounts in thousands):

During the year ended November 30, 2004, the Portfolio utilized prior year
capital loss carryforwards in the approximate amount of $776,000 to offset
realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes.
At November 30, 2004, the total cost of securities and net realized gains
or losses on securities sold for federal income tax purposes were different from
amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. The federal tax cost,

E. LINE OF CREDIT:
The Portfolio, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has
entered into a $50 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June
2004 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $50 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $50 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then
current federal funds rate plus 1%. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no
commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit, since this is not a
committed facility. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be
terminated by either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit
expires on June 28, 2005. There were no borrowings under the discretionary line
of credit by the Portfolio during the year ended November 30, 2004.
The Portfolio, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $150 million unsecured line of credit effective April
2004 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to
borrow, subject to investment limitations, up to a maximum of $150 million, as
long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $150 million in
the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly liable for its
particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of
credit are charged interest at rates agreed to by the parties at the time of
borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused line of credit. The
agreement for the line of credit expires in April 2005. There were no borrowings
by the Portfolio under the line of credit during the year ended November 30,
2004.
F. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general
indemnification. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the
Portfolio and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on
experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF EMERGING MARKETS VALUE PORTFOLIO AND
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Emerging Markets Value Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting DFA
Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") at
November 30, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the
changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and
the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred
to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with the Standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
November 30, 2004 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee
fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact
of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among
others. Operating expenses, legal and audit services, which are deducted from a
fund's gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund's
expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is
known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended help you
understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare
these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an
investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the
entire period.
The Expense Table below illustrates your fund's costs in two ways.
- ACTUAL FUND RETURN. This section helps you to estimate the actual
expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The "Ending
Account Value" shown is derived from the fund's actual return, and
"Expenses Paid During Period" shows the dollar amount that would have
been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may
use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to
estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000=7.5), then multiply the result
by the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid
During Period."
- HYPOTHETICAL 5% RETURN. This section is intended to help you compare
your fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that
the fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the period shown,
but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case -- because the
return used is not the fund's actual return -- the results do not
apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons
because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual
funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your
fund's cost by comparing this hypothetical example with the
hypothetical examples that appear in shareholders reports of other
funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and
help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs
(if any). The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses for the
six month period indicated and may be different from the expense ratio in the
Financial Highlights which is for the year ended November 30, 2004.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
(UNAUDITED)
The SEC has adopted the requirement that all Funds file a complete schedule
of investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form
N-Q for fiscal quarters starting after July 9, 2004. For Dimensional Emerging
Markets Value Fund Inc., this would be for the fiscal quarters ending August 31
and February 28 (February 29 during leap year). The Form N-Q filing must be made
within 60 days of the end of the quarter. Dimensional Emerging Markets Value
Fund Inc. filed its first Form N-Q with the SEC on October 27, 2004. It is
available upon request, without charge, by calling collect (310) 395-8005 or by
mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc., 1299 Ocean Avenue, 11th
floor, Santa Monica, California 90401, or by visiting the SEC's website at
http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public
Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the
operation of the Public Reference Room).
The SEC has also amended certain regulations to permit a fund to include in
its reports to shareholders a "Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings" in lieu
of a full Schedule of Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
reports the fund's 50 largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any
investments that exceed one percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the
reporting period. The amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of
Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the
SEC on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual report to
shareholders. It will be available, upon request, without charge, by calling
collect (310) 395-8005 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors,
Inc., 1299 Ocean Avenue, 11th floor, Santa Monica, California 90401, or by
visiting the SEC's website at http://sec.gov, or it may be reviewed and copied
at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The SEC adopted a requirement that all Funds present their categories of
portfolio holdings in a table, chart or graph format in their annual and
semi-annual shareholder reports, whether or not a schedule of investments is
utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of
total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned
securities, is provided in compliance with such requirement. The categories
shown below represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of
one or more specific industry classifications.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc. (the "Fund") was organized as
a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. Effective November 21, 1997, the Fund was
reorganized as an open-end management investment company.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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
increases and decreases in net assets from operation during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences
could be material.
1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities held by the Fund which are listed on a
securities exchange and for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at the last quoted sale price of the day or, if there is no such reported
sale, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Price
information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security
is primarily traded. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available, or for which market
quotations have become unreliable, are approved in good faith at fair value
using methods approved by the Board of Directors.
The Fund will also apply a fair value price in the circumstances described
below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at
various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For
example, trading in the Japanese securities markets is completed each day at the
close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (generally 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen
hours prior to the close of the NYSE (generally 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that
the net asset value of the Fund is computed. Due to the time differences between
the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Fund
prices its shares at the close of the NYSE, the Fund will fair value its foreign
investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign
investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value
prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets'
perceptions and trading activities on the Fund's foreign investments since the
last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary
foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of
Directors of the Fund has determined that movements in relevant indices or other
appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or
the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable,
and may trigger fair value pricing. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio
securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by the Fund
utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws
upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). The
fair value prices of portfolio securities generally will be used when it is
determined that the use of such prices will have a material impact on the net
asset value of a Fund. When the Fund uses fair value pricing, the values
assigned to the Fund's foreign investments may not be the quoted or published
prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.
2. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS: Securities and other assets and
liabilities of the Fund whose values are initially expressed in foreign
currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most
recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally
recognized reliable sources. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses
are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective
accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are
marked to market based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are
realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
26
The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held
whether realized or unrealized.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net
foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the
U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Fund may purchase money market instruments
from financial institutions, such as banks and non-bank dealers, subject to the
counterparty's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price.
The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the
collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price
(including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral
being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system or with the Fund's
custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy
by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject
to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on
November 30, 2004.
4. FOREIGN MARKET RISKS: Investments in foreign markets may involve
certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in
the United States, including the possibility of future political and economic
developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation of
foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and
more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States.
Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be
inhibited.
5. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may
elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). Under the
Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of a
percentage of their total fees earned as a Director. These deferred amounts may
be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following
funds: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA
International Value Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio and/or DFA Two-Year
Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change
in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income, are included in Directors'
Fees and Expenses. At November 30, 2004, the total liability for deferred
compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
in the amount of $13,700.
6. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis.
The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests,
with respect to its investment in issuers existing or operating in such
countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and
capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Fund accrues such
taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned. Some countries
require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital
or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a
deterioration in a country's balance of payments or for other reasons, a country
may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The Fund's investments in Chile are subject to governmental taxes on
investment income. Such taxes are due when currencies are repatriated from the
country. The Fund accrues for taxes on income as income is earned.
The Fund's investments in Thailand are subject to a 15% governmental
capital gains tax. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The
Fund accrues for taxes on the capital gains throughout the holding period of the
underlying securities.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("Dimensional" or the "Advisor") provides
investment advisory services to the Fund. For the year ended November 30, 2004,
the Fund paid the Advisor a fee based on an annual effective rate of 0.10 of 1%
of average net assets.
Certain officers of the Fund are also officers, directors and shareholders
of the Advisor.
D. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended November 30, 2004, the Fund made the following purchases
and sales of investment securities other than short-term securities (amounts in
thousands):
[Download Table]
Purchases $ 307,963
Sales 65,388
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government Securities during the
year ended November 30, 2004.
E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal
income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income
and net capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made
for federal income taxes.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax
differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital,
accumulated net realized gains, and undistributed net investment income as
appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the
following permanent differences as of November 30, 2004, primarily attributable
to realized net foreign currency gains/losses and net realized gains on
securities considered to be "passive foreign investment companies", were
reclassified to the following accounts (amounts in thousands):

These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per
share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended November 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows (amounts in
thousands):

income for tax purposes.

As of November 30, 2004, the components of distributable
earnings/(accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):

$ 5,282 $ 24,032 $ 29,314
Certain of the Funds's investments are in securities considered to be
"passive foreign investment companies", for which any unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) (mark to market) and/or realized gains are required to be
included in distributable net investment income for tax purposes. During the
year ended November 30, 2004, the Fund had unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) (mark to market) and realized gains on the sale of passive
foreign investment companies, of $1,967,765 and $2,725,434, respectively, which
are included in distributable net investment income for tax purposes,
accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized
gains to accumulated net investment income.
At November 30, 2004, the total cost of securities and net realized gains
or losses on securities sold for federal income tax purposes were different from
amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. The federal tax cost,
aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held by
each the Fund, at November 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

$ 747,035 $ 482,228 $ (51,253) $ 430,975
F. LINE OF CREDIT:
The Fund together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $50 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 2004
with its domestic custodian bank. The Fund is permitted to borrow, subject to
its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $50 million, as long as total
borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $50 million in the aggregate.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current
federal funds rate plus 1%. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly
liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no
commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit, since this is not a
committed facility. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be
terminated by either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit
expires on June 28, 2005. There were no borrowings by the Fund under the
discretionary line of credit with the domestic custodian bank during the year
ended November 30, 2004.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $150 million unsecured line of credit effective April
2004 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to
borrow, subject to investment limitations, up to a maximum of $150 million, as
long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $150 million in
the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly liable for its
particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of
credit are charged interest at rates agreed to by the parties at the time of
borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused line of credit. The
agreement for the line of credit expires in April 2005. There were no borrowings
by the Fund under the line of credit during the year ended November 30, 2004.
G. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown
as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its
affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund
expects the risk of loss to be remote.
H. RESTATEMENT:
To correct a clerical error, the Fund has restated the net investment
income (loss) and net gains (losses) on securities (realized and unrealized)
per share and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets as
reported in the financial highlights for the year ended November 30, 2004.
These restatements had no effect on the Fund's net asset values, either in
total or per share, or its total increase (decrease) in net assets from
operations during the year.
The restatement changed the financial highlights for the year ended
November 30, 2004 as follows:

--------- ----------
Net Investment Income (Loss) -- per share $0.52 $0.62

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND INC.
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc. (the "Fund") at November 30,
2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in
its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the
financial highlights, for each of the five years in the period then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at November 30, 2004 by correspondence with the
custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As disclosed in Note H, the Fund restated its financial highlights as of
November 30, 2004 and for the year then ended.

The Registrant has adopted, as of the end of the period covered by this Form
N-CSR/A (the "Report"), a code of ethics that applies to the Registrant's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer (the "Code of
Business Ethics"). The Registrant has not made any substantive amendments to the

serving on the Registrant's Audit Committee and has designated Ms. Smith as the
"audit committee financial expert." Ms. Smith earned a Ph.D. in Accounting, and
has taught Accounting at the graduate level since 1980. Ms. Smith's education

estimates, accruals and reserves; and experience preparing, analyzing and
evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity
of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Registrant's
financial statements. In addition, Ms. Smith has served on the boards of

(e) (1) Audit Committee's Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
as adopted by the
Audit Committees
of
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc.
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc.
Dimensional Investment Group Inc.
The DFA Investment Trust Company
(together, the "Funds")
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") and the rules (the "Rules")
adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
require that the Funds' Audit Committees (together, the "Committee")
pre-approve all audit services and non-audit services provided to the
Funds by their independent auditors (the "Auditor"). The Act and the
Rules also require that the Committee pre-approve all non-audit services
provided by the Auditor to Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc.
("Dimensional"), the Funds' investment advisor, and to affiliates of
Dimensional that provide ongoing services to the Funds (with
Dimensional, together the "Service Affiliates") if the services directly
impact the Funds' operations and financial reporting.
The following policies and procedures govern the ways in which the
Committee will pre-approve audit and various types of non-audit services
that the Auditor provides to the Funds and to Service Affiliates. These
policies and procedures do not apply in the case of audit services that
the Auditor provides to Service Affiliates, nor do they apply to
services that an audit firm other than the Auditor provides to such
entities.
These policies and procedures comply with the requirements for
pre-approval, but also provide a mechanism by which management of the
Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit
services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business
operations. Pre-approval of non-audit services may be achieved through a
combination of the procedures described in Sections C and D below.
A. General
1. The Committee must pre-approve all audit services and non-audit
services that the Auditor provides to the Funds.
2. The Committee must pre-approve any engagement of the Auditor to
provide non-audit services to any Service Affiliate during the
period of the Auditor's engagement to provide audit services to
the Funds, if the non-audit services to the Service Affiliate
directly impact the Funds' operations and financial reporting.
B. Pre-Approval of Audit Services to the Funds
1. The Committee shall approve the engagement of an auditor to
certify the Funds' financial statements for each fiscal year (the
"Engagement"). The approval of the Engagement shall not be
delegated to a Designated Member (as that term is defined in
Section D below). In approving the Engagement, the Committee shall
obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the
proposed Auditor to enable the Committee to make a reasonable
evaluation of the Auditor's qualifications and independence. The
Committee also shall consider the Auditor's proposed fees for the
Engagement, in light of the scope and nature of the audit services
that the Funds will receive.
2. The Committee shall report to the Boards of Directors/Trustees
of the Funds (together, the "Board") regarding its approval of the
Engagement and of the proposed fees for the Engagement, and the
basis for such approval.
3. Unless otherwise in accordance with applicable law, the
Engagement, in any event, shall require that the Auditor be
selected by the vote, cast in person, of a majority of the members
of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Funds (as
that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940) (the "Independent Directors").
C. Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services to the Funds and to Service
Affiliates--by Types of Services
1. The Committee may pre-approve types of non-audit services to
the Funds and their Service Affiliates pursuant to this Section C.
2. Annually, at such time as the Committee considers the
Engagement of the Auditor, management of the Funds, in
consultation with the Auditor, shall provide to the Committee, for
its consideration and action, the following: (a) a list of those
types of non-audit services, if any, that the Funds may request
from the Auditor during the fiscal year; and (b) a list of those
types of non-audit services directly impacting the Funds'
operations and financial reporting that Service Affiliates may
request from the Auditor during the fiscal year.
3. The lists submitted to the Committee shall describe the types
of non-audit services in reasonable detail and shall include an
estimated budget (or budgeted range) of fees, where possible, and
such other information as the Committee may request.
4. The Committee's pre-approval of the types of non-audit services
submitted pursuant to this Section C shall constitute
authorization for management of the Funds to utilize the Auditor
for the types of non-audit services so pre-approved, if needed or
desired during the fiscal year.
5. A list of the types of non-audit services pre-approved by the
Committee pursuant to this Section C will be distributed to
management of the Service Affiliates and the appropriate partners
of the Auditor. Periodically, the Auditor will discuss with the
Committee those non-audit services that have been or are being
provided pursuant to this Section C.
D. Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services to the Funds and to Service
Affiliates--Project-by-Project Basis
1. The Committee also may pre-approve non-audit services on a
project-by-project basis pursuant to this Section D.
2. Management of the Funds, in consultation with the Auditor, may
submit either to the Committee or to the Designated Member, as
provided in this Section D, for their consideration and action, a
pre-approval request identifying one or more non-audit service
projects. The request so submitted shall describe the project(s)
in reasonable detail and shall include an estimated budget (or
budgeted range) of fees and such other information as the
Committee or the Designated Member, as appropriate, shall request.
3. The Committee, from time to time, shall designate one or more
of its members who are Independent Directors (each a "Designated
Member") to consider, on the Committee's behalf, any non-audit
services, whether to the Funds or to any Service Affiliate, that
have not been pre-approved by the Committee. The Designated Member
also shall review, on the Committee's behalf, any proposed
material change in the nature or extent of any non-audit services
previously approved. The Funds' management, in consultation with
the Auditor, shall explain why such non-audit services or material
change in non-audit services are necessary and appropriate and the
anticipated costs thereof.
4. The Designated Member will review the requested non-audit
services or proposed material change in such services and will
either:
(a) pre-approve, pre-approve subject to conditions, or
disapprove any such requested services, or any proposed
material change in services, whether to the Funds or to a
Service Affiliate; or
(b) refer such matter to the Committee for its
consideration and action.
In considering any requested non-audit services or proposed
material change in such services, the Designated Member's
authority shall be limited to approving non-audit services or
proposed material changes that do not exceed $10,000 in value.
5. The Designated Member's pre-approval (or pre-approval subject
to conditions) of the requested non-audit services or proposed
material change in services pursuant to this Section D shall
constitute authorization for the management of the Funds or the
Service Affiliate, as the case may be, to utilize the Auditor for
the non-audit services so pre-approved. Any action by the
Designated Member in approving a requested non-audit service shall
be presented for ratification by the Committee not later than at
its next scheduled meeting. If the Designated Member does not
approve the Auditor providing the requested non-audit service, the
matter may be presented to the full Committee for its
consideration and action.
E. Amendment; Annual Review
1. The Committee may amend these procedures from time to time.
2. These procedures shall be reviewed annually by the Committee.
F. Recordkeeping
1. The Funds shall maintain a written record of all decisions made
by the Committee or by a Designated Member pursuant to these
procedures, together with appropriate supporting materials.
2. In connection with the approval of any non-audit service
pursuant to the de minimis exception provided in the Rules, a
record shall be made indicating that each of the conditions for
this exception, as set forth in the Rules, has been satisfied.
3. A copy of these Procedures (and of any amendments to these
Procedures) shall be maintained and preserved permanently in an
easily accessible place. The written records referred to in
paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Section F shall be maintained and
preserved for six years from the end of the fiscal year in which
the actions recorded were taken, for at least the first two years
in an easily accessible location.
(e)(2) The fees disclosed in Items 4(b), 4(c) or 4(d) were approved by
the Registrant's Audit Committee but not pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's
engagement to audit the Registrant's financial statements for
the fiscal year ended November 30,
2004 that were attributed to work performed by persons other
than the principal accountant's full time, permanent employees
was NOT greater than 50%.
(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees
Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 2004: $164,040
Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 2003: $149,540
(h) The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the
provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the
Registrant's investment adviser, and any entity controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with the investment
adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, that
were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule
2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the
principal accountant's independence.

desired control objectives.
(b) There were no changes in the Registrant's internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940
Act) that occurred during the Registrant's second fiscal quarter

materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over
