In Brief
o For the period of nearly six months beginning with the Fund's inception on May
8, 1996 and ending October 31, 1996, Scudder Emerging Markets Growth Fund
provided a strong total return of 7.08%.
o The outlook for Central Europe continues to be bright. We believe the region's
transition from command to free market economies presents an outstanding
investment opportunity.
o The rate of growth in emerging Asia is slowing. The region is transitioning
away from mercantilist economic models, which may lead to a period of lackluster
performance in those markets.

Letter From the Fund's Chairman
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to welcome you as an investor in Scudder Emerging Markets
Growth Fund and to present the first annual report for the Fund, covering the
abbreviated fiscal year which began with the commencement of operations on May
8, 1996 and ended October 31, 1996. Going forward, you can expect to receive
semiannual updates on the Fund's investments and strategy, with the next report
covering the six-month period ending April 30, 1997.
As detailed in the management discussion that follows, Scudder Emerging
Markets Growth Fund provided a total return of 7.08% for the period of roughly
six months covered by this report, comparing very favorably to the aggregate
performance of emerging markets. Going forward, we expect the higher growth
rates of many emerging market economies to attract increasing investor interest
as the U.S. economy slows, supporting a positive outlook. Scudder Emerging
Markets Growth Fund will continue to be appropriate for investors seeking broad
exposure to the equity markets of developing countries as part of a diversified
portfolio.
Finally, to update those of you who like to stay informed about new funds
from Scudder, we introduced two new equity funds in September. Scudder Classic
Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with a higher degree of
principal stability than the average growth fund. Scudder 21st Century Growth
Fund takes a more aggressive approach, focusing primarily on emerging companies
with the potential to benefit from the rapidly changing industrial and economic
landscape. For more information on these and other Scudder Fund products and
services, please turn to page 26.
Thank you for your continued investment in Scudder Emerging Markets Growth
Fund. Please do not hesitate to call Investor Relations at 1-800-225-2470 with
any questions regarding your account.
Sincerely,
/s/Daniel Pierce

Portfolio Management Discussion
Dear Shareholders,
For the period of nearly six months beginning with the Fund's inception on May
8, 1996 and ending October 31, 1996, Scudder Emerging Markets Growth Fund
provided a total return of 7.08%. Adjusted for the 2% redemption fee assessed on
shares held less than one year, the Fund's total return was 4.94% for the
period. For purposes of rough comparison, the unmanaged MSCI Emerging Markets
Free Index returned a negative 6.03% between April 30, 1996 and the end of
October.
Country Weightings Key to Portfolio Performance
Poland and Egypt contributed strongly on the positive side to the Fund's
outperformance versus the benchmark Index over the period. Our 16.9% weight in
Poland versus 0.5% in the Index benefited the Fund greatly. The Fund also
carried over a 6% weight in Egypt, a country not presently in the Index. The
Egyptian holdings in the Fund appreciated sharply over the period.
Over a period when the Index lost 6%, avoiding the major downdrafts was key to
the Fund's outperformance. India, 6.4% of the Index, plunged; we held nothing
there. Korea fell sharply as well; being nearly out of that market was helpful.
The same holds true for Thailand. Finally, avoiding South Africa (11% of the
Index) continues to help the portfolio as the plunge in the Rand and
deteriorating fundamentals have made it very hard to make money there this year.
Of course, our country decisions over the period weren't perfect. Most notably,
our persistence in staying overweighted in Indonesia hurt us. Political
disturbances spooked the Indonesian market, and our stock selection within the
country further hurt Fund performance. We have concluded that Mr. Suharto's
advancing age and decades-long tenure in office bring us close enough to the end
of an era that political risk is escalating. The citizens' desire for democracy
is becoming apparent. Notwithstanding the attractive valuations carried by some
excellent companies, political issues will likely unsettle the market. We are
therefore moving to a somewhat underweight position in Indonesia.
Market Outlook: Central
Europe Favored
over Emerging Asia
Recent aggregate declines in emerging markets obscure a number of underlying
trends. The investment outlook for Central Europe continues to be bright while
emerging Asia has become less attractive. We believe Central Europe is only
mid-way through a process that will lead to a risk profile closer to Western
Europe's, as well as a move up to valuation levels found in Latin and Asian
emerging markets. As we believe the region's transition from command to free
market economies presents an outstanding investment opportunity, we continue to
shift the portfolio weightings to capture it. Currently, 27% of portfolio assets
are invested in Central Europe, well above the region's 4% representation in the
MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index.
5 - Scudder Emerging Markets Growth Fund
<PAGE>
We have just returned from a trip to Asia, where we saw fresh evidence of the
structural impediments which are in the process of slowing emerging Asia's rate
of growth. A transition away from mercantilist economic models will be forced by
the region's past over-investment in key exporting industries and by currency
rigidities which have caused a decade of accumulated distortions. We see
emerging Asia in the process of slowing from historic growth rates of 8-10% to a
more sustainable 5-6%. The transition will yield several years of pain or at
least dull markets, but in the end Asia will still likely have the highest
sustainable growth in the world. While the Fund's Asian exposure is
significantly underweighted at 22%, we are confident we will be shifting
portfolio assets back to the region some day.
The Philippines remains a glorious exception to Asia's doldrums. Our trip
provided encouraging evidence that the much needed tax reform program has a good
chance of being enacted. The reform proposal represents a massive overhaul which
will greatly broaden the now pitifully tiny tax base. It will make for a fairer
system and -- crucially -- one that will stabilize the fiscal situation and
enable much more investment in needed infrastructure. If the Philippines' young
democracy can enact this huge change in the face of powerful vested interests
(who stand to lose considerably) it will not only be a great victory for the
country, but will broadly challenge the conventional wisdom that only dictators
can push through difficult economic and social reforms in emerging markets.
Philippine GDP growth is accelerating gently, the proverbial "tide that lifts
all boats". The Central Bank is maintaining tight monetary policy and we came
away unconcerned that an asset bubble or other ills of overheating are on the
horizon.
Finally, with respect to Latin America (31% of assets), we see the
fundamentals and valuations as still attractive in select markets. We expect the
region to be a positive contributor to performance going forward.

We remain bullish on many of the world's emerging markets, and we see a
generally benign environment for this asset class going forward. The biggest
threat to emerging market performance would be a reduction in global liquidity.
We do not believe the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to raise rates much, if at

liquidity for financial assets supportive. As U.S. growth slows, the high
earnings growth produced by many emerging markets should prove all the more
attractive to investors.
Scudder Emerging Markets Growth Fund will continue to provide broad-based
exposure to the opportunities for capital appreciation presented by the equity

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Significant Accounting Policies
Scudder Emerging Markets Growth Fund ("the Fund") is a diversified series of
Scudder International Fund, Inc. (the "Corporation"). The corporation is
organized as a Maryland corporation and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management investment company.
The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which require the use of management estimates.
The policies described below are followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements.
SECURITY VALUATION. Portfolio securities which are traded on U.S. or foreign
stock exchanges are valued at the most recent sale price reported on the
exchange on which the security is traded most extensively. If no sale occurred,
the security is then valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid
and asked quotations. If there are no such bid and asked quotations, the most
recent bid quotation is used. Securities quoted on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation ("NASDAQ") System, for which there have
been sales, are valued at the most recent sale price reported on such system. If
there are no such sales, the value is the high or "inside" bid quotation.
Securities which are not quoted on the NASDAQ System but are traded in another
over-the-counter market are valued at the most recent sale price on such market.
If no sale occurred, the security is then valued at the calculated mean between
the most recent bid and asked quotations. If there are no such bid and asked
quotations, the most recent bid quotation shall be used.
Portfolio debt securities with remaining maturities greater than sixty days are
valued by pricing agents approved by the officers of the Fund, which quotations
reflect broker/dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing
techniques. If the pricing agents are unable to provide such quotations, the
most recent bid quotation supplied by a bona fide market maker shall be used.
Short-term investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost.
All other securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors. Securities valued in good
faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors at fair value
amounted to $671,830 (0.9% of net assets) and have been noted in the investment
portfolio as of October 31, 1996. Their values have been estimated by the Board
of Directors in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. However,
because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready
market for the securities existed, and the difference could be material.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian,
receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time
of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at
such a level that the market value, depending on the maturity of the repurchase
agreement and the underlying collateral, is equal to at least 100.5% of the
resale price.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS. The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars
on the following basis:
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and other liabilities
at the daily rates of exchange, and
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest
income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions.
19 - Scudder Emerging Markets Growth Fund
<PAGE>
The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments which
is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in
market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net
realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related
transactions includes gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the sales of foreign
currency, and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends,
interest, and foreign withholding taxes.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code which are applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund paid
no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.
At October 31, 1996, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carry forward of
approximately $481,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable
capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until October 31,
2004, the expiration date, whichever occurs first.
REDEMPTION FEES. In general, shares of the Fund may be redeemed at net asset
value. However, upon the redemption or exchange of shares held by shareholders
for less than one year, a fee of 2% of the current net asset value of the
shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the
remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is included as an addition to
paid-in capital.
DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS. Distributions of net investment income are
made annually. During any particular year net realized gains from investment
transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be
taxable to the Fund if not distributed and, therefore, will be distributed to
shareholders annually. An additional distribution may be made to the extent
necessary to avoid the payment of a four percent federal excise tax. Earnings
and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of Fund shares ("tax
equalization") may be utilized by the Fund, to the extent permissible, as part
of the Fund's dividends paid deduction on its federal income tax return.
The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains
distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The differences
primarily relate to investments in forward contracts, passive foreign investment
companies, foreign denominated investments, and certain securities sold at a
loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on
investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from
distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make
reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the
net asset value of the Fund.
The Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss
on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
ORGANIZATION COSTS. Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its
organization have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over a five-year period.
OTHER. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

B. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments)
aggregated $75,729,996 and $3,760,013, respectively.
C. RELATED PARTIES
Under the Fund's Investment Management Agreement (the "Agreement") with Scudder,
Stevens & Clark, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the Fund pays the Adviser a fee equal to
an annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and
accrued daily and payable monthly. As manager of the assets of the Fund, the
Adviser directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment
objective, policies, and restrictions. The Adviser determines the securities,
instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or
entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the
Adviser provides certain administrative services in accordance with the
Agreement. The Agreement also provides that if the Fund's expenses, exclusive of
taxes, interest, and extraordinary expenses, exceed specified limits, such
excess, up to the amount of the management fee, will be paid by the Adviser. In
addition, the Adviser has agreed not to impose all or a portion of its
management fee until June 30, 1997 in order to maintain the annualized expenses
of the Fund at not more than 2.00% of average daily net assets. For the period
May 8, 1996 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, the Adviser did
not impose any of its management fee amounting to $215,973.
Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of the Adviser, is the
transfer, dividend paying and shareholder service agent for the Fund. Included
in services to shareholders is $65,697 charged to the Fund by SSC for the period
May 8, 1996 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996 and the amount not
imposed amounted to $58,166, of which $7,531 is unpaid at October 31, 1996.
Scudder Trust Company ("STC"), a subsidiary of the Adviser, provides
recordkeeping and other services in connection with certain retirement and
employee benefit plans invested in the Fund. For the period May 8, 1996
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, the amount charged to the Fund
by STC aggregated $1,553 and the amount not imposed amounted to $1,375.
Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a subsidiary of the Adviser, is
responsible for determining the daily net asset value per share and maintaining
the portfolio and general accounting records of the Fund. For the period May 8,
1996 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, the amount charged to the
Fund by SFAC aggregated $38,540 and the amount not imposed amounted to $34,122,
of which $4,418 is unpaid at October 31, 1996.
The Fund pays each Director not affiliated with the Adviser $4,000 annually plus
specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings. For the period May
8, 1996 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, Directors' fees
aggregated $36,072.

D. INVESTING IN EMERGING MARKETS
Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not
typically associated with investing in the United States. These risks include
revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on
income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments.
Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to
government ownership controls, delayed settlements, and their prices more
volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.

Celebrating Over 75 Years of Serving Investors
Established in 1919 by Theodore Scudder, Sidney Stevens, and F. Haven Clark,
Scudder, Stevens & Clark was the first independent investment counsel firm in
the United States. Since its birth, Scudder's pioneering spirit and commitment
to professional long-term investment management have helped shape the investment
industry. In 1928, we introduced the nation's first no-load mutual fund. Today
we offer over 40 pure no load(TM) funds, including the first international
mutual fund offered to U.S. investors.
Over the years, Scudder's global investment perspective and dedication to
research and fundamental investment disciplines have helped us become one of the
largest and most respected investment managers in the world. Though times have
changed since our beginnings, we remain committed to our long-standing
principles: managing money with integrity and distinction; keeping the interests
of our clients first; providing access to investments and markets that may not
be easily available to individuals; and making investing as simple and
convenient as possible through friendly, comprehensive service.
This information must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.
Portfolio changes should not be considered recommendations for action by

Item 27. Indemnification.
- -------- ----------------
A policy of insurance covering Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc., its affiliates including Scudder Investor Services,
Inc., and all of the registered investment companies advised by Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. insures the
Registrant's directors and officers and others against liability arising by reason of an alleged breach of duty
caused by any negligent act, error or accidental omission in the scope of their duties.
Article Tenth of Registrant's Articles of Incorporation state as follows:
TENTH: Liability and Indemnification
------ -----------------------------
To the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Investment Company Act of
1940, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or to its stockholders for
damages. The limitation on liability applies to events occurring at the time a person serves as a director or
officer of the Corporation, whether or not such person is a director or officer at the time of any proceeding in
which liability is asserted. No amendment to these Articles of Amendment and Restatement or repeal of any of its
provisions shall limit or eliminate the benefits provided to directors and officers under this provision with
respect to any act or omission which occurred prior to such amendment or repeal.
The Corporation, including its successors and assigns, shall indemnify its directors and officers and
make advance payment of related expenses to the fullest extent permitted, and in accordance with the procedures
required by Maryland law, including Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation law, as may be amended from
time to time, and the Investment Company Act of 1940. The By-Laws may provide that the Corporation shall indemnify
its employees and/or agents in any manner and within such limits as permitted by applicable law. Such
indemnification shall be in addition to any other right or claim to which any director, officer, employee or agent
may otherwise be entitled.
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise or employee benefit plan against any liability asserted against and
incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person's position, whether or not the
Corporation would have had the power to indemnify against such liability.
The rights provided to any person by this Article shall be enforceable against the Corporation by such
person who shall be presumed to have relied upon such rights in serving or continuing to serve in the capacities
indicated herein. No amendment of these Articles of Amendment and Restatement shall impair the rights of any
person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment.
Part C-Page 9
<PAGE>
Nothing in these Articles of Amendment and Restatement shall be deemed to (i) require a waiver of
compliance with any provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, or of any valid rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission under those Acts or
(ii) protect any director or officer of the Corporation against any liability to the Corporation or its
stockholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of his or her duties or by reason of his or her reckless disregard of his or her
obligations and duties hereunder.
Article V of Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws states as follows:
ARTICLE V
---------
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
-----------------------------
SECTION 1. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
-----------------------------------------
in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that such person is a current or former Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving while a
Director or officer of the Corporation at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, agent
or fiduciary or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or employee benefit plan, shall be indemnified by
the Corporation against judgments, penalties, fines, excise taxes, settlements and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent permissible under the
Maryland General Corporation Law, the Securities Act of 1933 and the 1940 Act, as such statutes are now or hereafter in force,
except that such indemnity shall not protect any such person against any liability to the Corporation or any stockholder thereof to
which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of his office ("disabling conduct").
SECTION 2. Advances. Any current or former Director or officer of the Corporation claiming indemnification within the scope
--------
of this Article V shall be entitled to advances from the Corporation for payment of the reasonable expenses incurred by him in
connection with proceedings to which he is a party in the manner and to the fullest extent permissible under the Maryland General
Corporation Law, the Securities Act of 1933 and the 1940 Act, as such statutes are now or hereafter in force; provided however, that
the person seeking indemnification shall provide to the Corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that the standard
of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Corporation has been met and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Director
to repay any such advance if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification, and provided further that at
least one of the following additional conditions is met: (1) the person seeking indemnification shall provide a security in form and
amount acceptable to the Corporation for his undertaking; (2) the Corporation is insured against losses arising by reason of the
advance; or (3) a majority of a quorum of Directors of the Corporation who are neither "interested persons" as defined in Section
2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, as amended, nor parties to the proceeding ("disinterested non-party Directors") or independent legal
counsel, in a written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of facts readily available to the Corporation at the time the
advance is proposed to be made, that there is reason to believe that the person seeking indemnification will ultimately be found to
be entitled to indemnification.
SECTION 3. Procedure. At the request of any current or former Director or officer, or any employee or agent whom the
---------
Corporation proposes to indemnify, the Board of Directors shall determine, or cause to be determined, in a manner consistent with
the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Securities Act of 1933 and the 1940 Act, as such statutes are now or hereafter in force,
whether the standards required by this Article V have been met; provided, however, that indemnification shall be made only
following: (1) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the person to be
indemnified was not liable by reason of disabling conduct or (2) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination,
based upon a review of the facts, that the person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, by (a) the vote
Part C-Page 10
<PAGE>
of the majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party Directors or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
SECTION 4. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. Employees and agents who are not officers or Directors of the
-------------------------------------------
Corporation may be indemnified, and reasonable expenses may be advanced to such employees or agents, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Article V to the extent permissible under the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Securities Act of
1933 and the 1940 Act, as such statutes are now or hereafter in force, and to such further extent, consistent with the foregoing, as
may be provided by action of the Board of Directors or by contract.
SECTION 5. Other Rights. The indemnification provided by this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right,
------------
in respect of indemnification or otherwise, to which those seeking such indemnification may be entitled under any insurance or other
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action by a Director or officer of the
Corporation in his official capacity and as to action by such person in another capacity while holding such office or position, and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.
SECTION 6. Constituent, Resulting or Surviving Corporations. For the purposes of this Article V, references to the
---------------------------------------------------
"Corporation" shall include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving
corporation so that any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of a constituent corporation or is or was
serving at the request of a constituent corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as he would if he had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.
