The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.
The Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The performance of other classes may vary from that shown because of differences in fees and expenses. The Fund’s returns reflect the effect of fee waivers/expense reimbursements, if any. Without such waivers/reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would be lower. See the Average Annual Total Returns table for performance of other share classes of the Fund.

Understanding your expenses
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 366.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest (also referred to as “acquired funds”), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
From time to time, the Investment Manager and its affiliates may limit the expenses of the Fund for the purpose of increasing the yield. This expense limitation policy may be revised or terminated at any time without notice. Had the Investment Manager and its affiliates not limited the expenses of the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2012, the annualized expense ratios would have been 0.73% for Class A, 1.48% for Class B, 0.72% for Class C, 0.40% for Class I, 0.73% for Class R, 0.43% for Class R5, 0.73% for Class W and 0.73% for Class Z. The actual expenses paid would have been $3.71 for Class A, $7.52 for Class B, $3.66 for Class C, $2.03 for Class I, $3.71 for Class R, $2.19 for Class R5, $3.71 for Class W and $3.71 for Class Z; the hypothetical expenses paid would have been $3.75 for Class A, $7.59 for Class B, $3.70 for Class C, $2.06 for Class I, $3.75 for Class R, $2.21 for Class R5, $3.75 for Class W and $3.75 for Class Z.

Portfolio of Investments (continued) | | |
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Short-term securities are valued using amortized cost, as permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of these securities, but because the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted

Fair Value Measurements (continued) |
prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of January 31, 2012:

Notes to Financial Statements | | |
January 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
Columbia Money Market Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Note | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act provided certain conditions are met, including that the Board of Trustees (the Board) continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures intended to stabilize the Fund’s net asset value for purposes of sales and redemptions at $1.00 per share. These procedures include determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund’s market-based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share. In the event such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board will promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
| | |
26 | | COLUMBIA MONEY MARKET FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income Recognition
Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount, is recognized daily.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually after the fiscal year in which the capital gains were earned or more frequently to seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures.
Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Note | 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates |
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.33% to 0.15% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.31% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
| | |
28 | | COLUMBIA MONEY MARKET FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Administration Fees `
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.06% to 0.03% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective administration fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other Fees
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board, including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, other expenses paid to this company were $4,635.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The
| | | | |
COLUMBIA MONEY MARKET FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 29 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to the share class.
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.33 | % |
Class B | | | 0.33 | |
Class C | | | 0.32 | |
Class R | | | 0.33 | |
Class R5 | | | 0.03 | |
Class W | | | 0.33 | |
Class Z | | | 0.33 | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $861.
Distribution Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, and a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.85%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. For Class B shares, of the 0.85% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund did not pay distribution fees for Class A, Class C, Class R and Class W shares. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund paid distribution fees equal to 0.75% for Class B shares.

30 | | COLUMBIA MONEY MARKET FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $5,353,000 and $379,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2011, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
Sales Charges
CDSCs received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $3,301 for Class A, $22,085 for Class B and $8,724 for Class C for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through September 30, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.62 | % |
Class B | | | 1.27 | |
Class C | | | 1.27 | |
Class I | | | 0.32 | |
Class R | | | 0.77 | |
Class R5 | | | 0.37 | |
Class W | | | 0.62 | |
Class Z | | | 0.52 | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
In addition, from time to time, the Investment Manager and its affiliates have waived or absorbed expenses of the Fund for the purposes of allowing the Fund to avoid a negative net yield or to increase the Fund’s positive net yield. The Fund’s yield would be negative if Fund expenses exceed Fund income. Any such expense limitation is voluntary and may be revised or terminated at any time without notice.
Note | 4. Federal Tax Information |
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.
Prior to December 13, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six month ended January 31, 2012.

Note | 7. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings |
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (currently branded as Columbia) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs’ opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011 and oral arguments took place on November 17, 2011.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.
The 3.00% sales charge applicable to Class A shares of the Fund is not reflected in the table above. If reflected, returns would be lower than those shown. The performance of other classes may vary from that shown because of differences in fees and expenses. The Fund’s returns reflect the effect of fee waivers/expense reimbursements, if any. Without such waivers/reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would be lower. See the Average Annual Total Returns table for performance of other share classes of the Fund.
The index does not reflect the effects of sales charges, expenses and taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
(1) | | The Barclays Capital U.S. 1-5 Year Corporate Index is an unmanaged index which includes U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable securities issued by industrial, utility and financial companies, with maturities between 1 and 5 years. On December 1, 2011, the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-5 Year Corporate Index (the New Index) replaced the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-5 Year Credit Index (the Former Index) as the Fund’s primary benchmark. The Fund’s Investment Manager made this recommendation to the Fund’s Board because the Investment Manager believes that the New Index provides a more appropriate basis for comparing the Fund’s performance. Information on both the New Index and the Former Index will be included for a one-year transition period. Thereafter, only the New Index will be included. |

The ratings shown are determined by using the middle rating of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower rating is used. When a rating from only one agency is available, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by one of these agencies, it is designated as Not Rated.

Understanding your expenses
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund's most recent fiscal half year and divided by 366.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest (also referred to as "acquired funds"), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investments vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Portfolio of Investments (continued) | | |
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Limited Duration Credit Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R4, Class W and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges; however, this share class is closed to new investors.
Class W shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors, as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred
| | |
30 | | COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (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 (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative Instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments as detailed below to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net fair value of all derivatives entered into pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty (as the case may be) is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair value of other derivatives or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and manage exposure to movements in interest rates. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks which may include interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement.
| | |
32 | | COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of Derivative Transactions in the Financial Statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund’s operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Sale Commitments
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
The Fund may enter into forward sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of forward sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. While a forward sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or an offsetting forward purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are used to satisfy the commitment.
Unsettled forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation” above. The forward sale commitment is “marked-to-market” daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the market price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions
The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date not exceeding 120 days. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on
| | |
34 | | COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
the securities sold. However, the Fund will benefit because it receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price for the future purchase plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as a realized gain or loss. Unless any realized gains exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared to what the performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies within its Portfolio of Investments cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price.
For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Fund treats “to be announced” mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions, one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. This treatment may exaggerate the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.
Mortgage dollar rolls involve certain risks. If the broker-dealer to whom the Fund sells the securities becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to purchase or repurchase the mortgage-related securities may be restricted and the instruments which the Fund is required to repurchase may be worth less than instruments which the Fund originally held. Successful use of mortgage dollar rolls may depend upon the Investment Manager’s ability to predict interest rates and mortgage prepayments. For these reasons, there is no assurance that mortgage dollar rolls can be successfully employed.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign Taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures.
Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.36% to 0.24% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.36% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 37 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective administration fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.07% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other Fees
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board, including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, other expenses paid to this company were $2,318.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The
| | |
38 | | COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R4 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.18 | % |
Class B | | | 0.18 | |
Class C | | | 0.18 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.04 | |
Class W | | | 0.18 | |
Class Z | | | 0.19 | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six month ended January 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $20.
Plan Administration Fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 39 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $656,000 and $662,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2011, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $283,912 for Class A, $1,996 for Class B and $11,365 for Class C for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
Effective October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through September 30, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.85 | % |
Class B | | | 1.60 | |
Class C | | | 1.60 | |
Class I | | | 0.52 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.82 | |
Class W | | | 0.85 | |
Class Z | | | 0.60 | |
Prior to October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and its affiliates contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, did not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.86 | % |
Class B | | | 1.61 | |
Class C | | | 1.61 | |
Class I | | | 0.52 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.82 | |
Class W | | | 0.86 | |
Class Z | | | 0.61 | |
| | |
40 | | COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.
Note 4. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $929,601,000 and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 24,148,000 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (1,383,000 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 22,765,000 | |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined as of July 31, 2011 may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
| | | | |
Year of expiration | | Amount | |
2018 | | $ | 2,117,055 | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $387,281,636 and $344,327,179, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2012, of which $17,734,783 and $7,648,349, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note 6. Lending of Portfolio Securities
The Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned. At January 31, 2012, securities valued at $20,189,912 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $1,805,022 and by cash collateral of $18,799,218 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to by borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any
| | |
42 | | COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the six months ended January 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Note 7. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as “Dividends from affiliates” in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note 8. Shareholder Concentration
At January 31, 2012, affiliated shareholder accounts owned 19.6% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 9. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 43 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Prior to December 13, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowing during the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Note 10. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 11. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (currently branded as Columbia) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris

44 | | COLUMBIA LIMITED DURATION CREDIT FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs’ opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011 and oral arguments took place on November 17, 2011.
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe

proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.
The 5.75% sales charge applicable to Class A shares of the Fund is not reflected in the table above. If reflected, returns would be lower than those shown. The performance of other classes may vary from that shown because of differences in fees and expenses. The Fund’s returns reflect the effect of fee waivers/expense reimbursements, if any. Without such waivers/reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would be lower. See the Average Annual Total Returns table for performance of other share classes of the Fund.
The index does not reflect the effects of sales charges, expenses and taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
(1) | | The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500 Index), an unmanaged index of common stocks, is frequently used as a general measure of market performance. The index reflects reinvestment of all distributions and changes in market prices. |

Understanding your expenses
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 366.

Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Portfolio of Investments (continued) | | |
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include,

Notes to Financial Statements | | |
January 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Large Core Quantitative Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class W and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to qualifying institutional investors.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges; however, this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges; however, this share class is closed to new investors.

32 | | COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Class W shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors, as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in
| | | | |
COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 33 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the
| | |
34 | | COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (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 (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative Instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments as detailed below to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net fair value of all derivatives entered into pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty (as the case may be) is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair value of other derivatives or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks which may include interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 35 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of Derivative Transactions in the Financial Statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund’s operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income Recognition
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign Taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income dividend. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the
| | |
38 | | COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures.
Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.69% to 0.52% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.63% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, including annualized adjustments of 0.03% resulting from the termination of the Fund’s performance incentive adjustment arrangement.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 39 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.06% to 0.03% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective administration fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other Fees
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board, including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, other expenses paid to this company were $6,232.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The
| | |
40 | | COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R4 and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.25 | % |
Class B | | | 0.26 | |
Class C | | | 0.25 | |
Class R | | | 0.24 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.05 | |
Class R5 | | | 0.05 | |
Class W | | | 0.28 | |
Class Z | | | 0.22 | |
The Fund and certain other associated investment companies, have severally, but not jointly, guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of a lease entered into by Seligman Data Corp. (SDC), the former transfer agent, including the payment of rent by SDC (the Guaranty). The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019. At January 31, 2012, the Fund’s total potential future obligation over the life of the Guaranty is $109,303. The liability remaining at January 31, 2012 for non-recurring charges associated with the lease amounted to $70,356 and is included within payable for other expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. SDC is owned by six associated investment companies, including the Fund. The Fund’s ownership interest in SDC at January 31, 2012 is included in other assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at a cost of $22,506.
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $12,198.

Plan Administration Fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $8,654,000 and $1,288,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2011, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $574,806 for Class A, $47,962 for Class B and $785 for Class C shares for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
Effective October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through September 30, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed
| | |
42 | | COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 1.06 | % |
Class B | | | 1.81 | |
Class C | | | 1.81 | |
Class I | | | 0.64 | |
Class R | | | 1.31 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.94 | |
Class R5 | | | 0.69 | |
Class W | | | 1.06 | |
Class Z | | | 0.81 | |
Prior to October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and its affiliates contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian and before giving effect to any performance incentive adjustment, did not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 1.07 | % |
Class B | | | 1.82 | |
Class C | | | 1.82 | |
Class I | | | 0.64 | |
Class R | | | 1.32 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.94 | |
Class R5 | | | 0.69 | |
Class W | | | 1.07 | |
Class Z | | | 0.82 | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.

Note 4. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $3,616,701,000 and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | $528,288,000 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | $(43,781,000) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | $484,507,000 | |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined as of July 31, 2011 may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
| | | | |
Year of expiration | | Amount | |
2016 | | $ | 357,904,087 | |
2017 | | | 1,368,589,070 | |
2018 | | | 621,230,448 | |
Total | | $ | 2,347,723,605 | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 5. Portfolio Information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $1,024,971,796 and $1,233,924,359, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Note 6. Lending of Portfolio Securities
The Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the
collateral upon the return of the securities loaned. At January 31, 2012, securities valued at $766,322,081 were on loan, secured by cash collateral of $785,699,989 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the six months ended January 31, 2012 is disclosed in
| | | | |
COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 45 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Note 7. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as “Dividends from affiliates” in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note 8. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Equity-Linked Notes
The Fund holds investments in two equity-linked notes (notes) for which Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Lehman Brothers) is the counterparty. The notes (with an aggregate principal amount of $2.6 million) defaulted as of their respective maturity dates, September 14, 2008 and October 2, 2008. Lehman Brothers filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition on September 15, 2008, and as such, it is likely that the Fund will receive less than the maturity value of the notes, pending the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings. Based on the bankruptcy proceedings, the Fund recorded receivables aggregating $246,717 based on the estimated amounts recoverable for the notes and recognized realized losses of $2.3 million. The estimates of the amounts recoverable for the notes are periodically adjusted by the Investment Manager based on the observable trading price of Lehman Brothers senior notes, which provide an indication of amounts recoverable through the bankruptcy proceedings. Any changes to the receivable balances resulting from such adjustments are recorded as a change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. At January 31, 2012, the value of the receivable balances was $721,886, which represented 0.02% of the Fund’s net assets.
Note 9. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each
| | |
46 | | COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.
Prior to December 13, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Note 10. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 11. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (currently branded as Columbia) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those

presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs’ opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011 and oral arguments took place on November 17, 2011.
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

ANNUALIZED TOTAL RETURNS (for period ended January 31, 2012)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 6 months* | | | 1 year | | | 5 years | | | Since inception 6/19/03 | |
Columbia Income Opportunities Fund Class A (excluding sales charge) | | | +2.79% | | | | +6.90% | | | | +7.21% | | | | +7.72% | |
Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Cash Pay BB-B Rated Constrained Index(1) (unmanaged) | | | +1.76% | | | | +6.09% | | | | +7.21% | | | | +7.74% | |
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.
The 4.75% sales charge applicable to Class A shares of the Fund is not reflected in the table above. If reflected, returns would be lower than those shown. The performance of other classes may vary from that shown because of differences in fees and expenses. The Fund’s returns reflect the effect of fee waivers/ expense reimbursements, if any. Without such waivers/reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would be lower. See the Average Annual Total Returns table for performance of other share classes of the Fund.
The index does not reflect the effects of sales charges, expenses and taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
(1) | | The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Cash Pay BB-B Rated Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of high yield bonds. The index is subject to a 2% cap on allocation to any one issuer. The 2% cap is intended to provide broad diversification and better reflect the overall character of the high yield market. The index reflects reinvestment of all distributions and changes in market prices. |

Understanding your expenses
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 366.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest (also referred to as “acquired funds”), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investments vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Fair Value Measurements (continued) |
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain Corporate Bonds, Common and Preferred Stocks classified as Level 3 are valued using a market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, trades of similar securities, single market quotations from broker dealers, estimated earnings of the respective company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the respective company’s capital structure. Certain Corporate Bonds, Convertible Bonds, Common Stocks and Warrants classified as Level 3 are valued using an income approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered estimates of future distributions from the liquidation of company assets or potential actions related to the respective company’s bankruptcy filing.
(a) | See the Portfolio of Investments for all investment classifications not indicated in the table. |
(b) | There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the period. |

January 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
Columbia Income Opportunities Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class R4, Class W, Class Y and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.

Note | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in
| | |
42 | | COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 43 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Investments in Loans
The senior loans acquired by the Fund typically take the form of a direct lending relationship with the borrower acquired through an assignment of another lender’s interest in a loan. The lead lender in a typical corporate loan syndicate administers the loan and monitors collateral. In the event that the lead lender becomes insolvent, enters Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) receivership, or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment, or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. Loans are typically secured but may be unsecured. The primary risk arising from investing in subordinated loans or in unsecured loans is the potential loss in the event of default by the issuer of the loans.
Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Sale Commitments
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
The Fund may enter into forward sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of forward sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. While a forward sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or an offsetting forward purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are used to satisfy the commitment.
Unsettled forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation” above. The forward sale commitment is “marked-to-market” daily and the
| | |
44 | | COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the market price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and increases the cost basis of such securities.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 45 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign Taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures.
Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation
| | |
46 | | COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Note | 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates |
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.59% to 0.36% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.56% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective administration fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.06% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other Fees
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board, including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, other expenses paid to this company were $4,010.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 47 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R4 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.24 | % |
Class B | | | 0.22 | |
Class C | | | 0.23 | |
Class R | | | 0.24 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.03 | |
Class W | | | 0.23 | |
Class Y | | | 0.00 | * |
Class Z | | | 0.23 | |
* | Rounds to less than 0.01% |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to
| | |
48 | | COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $2,422.
Plan Administration Fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
Effective March 11, 2011, the Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the combined distribution and service fee does not exceed 0.85% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $1,272,000 and $73,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2011, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $489,409 for Class A, $7,765 for Class B and $4,057 for Class C shares for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
Effective October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 49 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
and expenses described below as well as any reorganization costs allocated to the Fund), through September 30, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 1.04 | % |
Class B | | | 1.79 | |
Class C | | | 1.79 | |
Class I | | | 0.71 | |
Class R | | | 1.29 | |
Class R4 | | | 1.01 | |
Class W | | | 1.04 | |
Class Y | | | 0.79 | |
Class Z | | | 0.79 | |
Prior to October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and its affiliates contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below as well as any reorganization costs allocated to the Fund), so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, did not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 1.15 | % |
Class B | | | 1.90 | |
Class C | | | 1.90 | |
Class I | | | 0.80 | |
Class R | | | 1.40 | |
Class R4 | | | 1.10 | |
Class W | | | 1.15 | |
Class Y | | | 0.90 | |
Class Z | | | 0.90 | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties. Class C distribution fees voluntarily waived by the Distributor, as discussed above, are in addition to the waiver/reimbursement commitment under the agreement. Reorganization (see Note 11)
| | |
50 | | COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
costs were allocated to the Fund only to the extent they are expected to be offset by the anticipated reduction in expenses borne by the Fund’s shareholders during the first year following the Reorganization.
Note | 4. Federal Tax Information |
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $2,154,318,000 and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 84,337,000 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (29,955,000 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 54,382,000 | |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined as of July 31, 2011 may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
| | | | |
Year of expiration | | Amount | |
2016 | | $ | 28,854,980 | |
2017 | | | 87,234,547 | |
Total | | $ | 116,089,527 | |
Columbia Income Opportunities Fund acquired $136,691,965 of capital loss carryforward in connection with the Columbia High Income Fund and Columbia Conservative High Yield Fund mergers (Note 11). In addition to the acquired capital loss carryforward, the Fund also acquired unrealized capital gains as a result of the mergers. The yearly utilization of the acquired capital loss carryforward may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
| | | | |

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note | 5. Portfolio Information |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $589,919,375 and $592,996,494, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Note | 6. Regulatory Settlements |
During the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund received $5,588 as a result of a settlement of an administrative proceeding brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission against an unaffiliated third party relating to market timing and/or late trading of mutual funds which represented the Fund’s portion of the proceeds from the settlement (the Fund was not a party to the proceeding). The proceeds received by the Fund were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
Note | 7. Lending of Portfolio Securities |
The Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned. At January 31, 2012, securities valued at $101,167,571 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $11,880,199 and by cash collateral of $91,336,942 (which does not
| | |
52 | | COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the six months ended January 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Note | 8. Affiliated Money Market Fund |
The Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as “Dividends from affiliates” in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note | 9. Shareholder Concentration |
At January 31, 2012, one unaffiliated shareholder account owned 30.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 11.2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 53 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.
Prior to December 13, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2012.
At the close of business on March 11, 2011, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Columbia High Income Fund and Columbia Conservative High Yield Fund, each a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I. The reorganization was completed after shareholders approved the plan on February 15, 2011. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Investment Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies.
The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $849,823,636 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisition were $2,178,346,802.
The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 94,313,458 shares of Columbia High Income Fund valued at $767,725,811 (including $4,912,535 of unrealized appreciation) and 70,056,085 shares of Columbia Conservative High Yield Fund valued at $560,797,355 (including $29,195,943 of unrealized appreciation).

For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, Columbia High Income Fund and Columbia Conservative High Yield Fund’s cost of investments was carried forward.
The financial statements reflect the operations of the Fund for the period prior to the merger and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the merger. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the merger was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Columbia High Income Fund and Columbia Conservative High Yield Fund that have been included in the combined Fund’s Statement of Operations since the merger was completed.
Assuming the merger had been completed on August 1, 2010, the Fund’s proforma net investment income, net gain on investments, net change in unrealized depreciation and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended July 31, 2011 would have been approximately $138.4 million, $148.4 million, $(49.2) million and $237.6 million, respectively.

Note | 13. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings |
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (currently branded as Columbia) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including

restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs’ opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011 and oral arguments took place on November 17, 2011.
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have
| | |
56 | | COLUMBIA INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Understanding your expenses
As an investor, you incur ongoing costs which may include custodian fees and other nonadvisory expenses. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

12 | | COLUMBIA SHORT-TERM CASH FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Short-term securities are valued using amortized cost, as permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of these securities, but because the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted

prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of January 31, 2012:

Notes to Financial Statements | | |
January 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Investments in the Fund may be made only by investment companies, common or commingled trust funds or similar organizations or persons that are accredited investors within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Note | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act provided certain conditions are met, including that the Board of Trustees (the Board) continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures intended to stabilize the Fund’s net asset value for purposes of sales and redemptions at $1.00 per share. These procedures include determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund’s market-based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share. In the event such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board will promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated.

20 | | COLUMBIA SHORT-TERM CASH FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income Recognition
Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount, is recognized daily.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually after the fiscal year in which the capital gains were earned or more frequently to seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the
| | | | |
COLUMBIA SHORT-TERM CASH FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 21 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures.
Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Note | 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates |
Investment Management
Under the Investment Management Services Agreement, subject to the policies set by the Board, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), provides investment management services. The Fund does not pay a management fee for managing its assets, but it does pay taxes, brokerage commissions and nonadvisory expenses.
Compensation of Board Members
The Fund does not pay compensation to the Board members. Compensation and certain other core expenses are paid directly by other funds managed by the Investment Manager that invest in the Fund.

Note | 4. Federal Tax Information |
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $6,221,497,000.
The following capital loss carryforward, determined as of July 31, 2011 may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
| | | | |
Year of expiration | | Amount | |
2017 | | $ | 8,785 | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note | 5. Lending of Portfolio Securities |
The Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA SHORT-TERM CASH FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 23 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned.
At January 31, 2012, securities valued at $1,168,744,175 were on loan, and by cash collateral of $1,186,398,600 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the six months ended January 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Note | 6. Shareholder Concentration |
At January 31, 2012, the Investment Manager and/or affiliates owned 100% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other
| | |
24 | | COLUMBIA SHORT-TERM CASH FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.
Prior to December 13, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $321,554,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.53%.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note | 9. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings |
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (currently branded as Columbia) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with
| | | | |
COLUMBIA SHORT-TERM CASH FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 25 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs’ opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011 and oral arguments took place on November 17, 2011.
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial
| | |
26 | | COLUMBIA SHORT-TERM CASH FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.
The 3.00% sales charge applicable to Class A shares of the Fund is not reflected in the table above. If reflected, returns would be lower than those shown. The performance of other classes may vary from that shown because of differences in fees and expenses. The Fund’s returns reflect the effect of fee waivers/ expense reimbursements, if any. Without such waivers/reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would be lower. See the Average Annual Total Returns table for performance of other share classes of the Fund.
The index does not reflect the effects of sales charges, expenses and taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Understanding your expenses
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

10 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Notes to Financial Statements | | |
January 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
Columbia Inflation Protected Securities Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a non-diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class R4, Class W and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund's Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to qualifying institutional investors.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges; however, this share class is closed to new investors.

Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
Note | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Asset and mortgage backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities' cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed

30 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Option contracts are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on their primary exchanges. Option contracts, including over-the-counter option contracts, with no readily available market value are valued using quotations obtained from independent brokers as of the close of the NYSE.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 31 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (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 (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative Instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments as detailed below to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
| | |
32 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net fair value of all derivatives entered into pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty (as the case may be) is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair value of other derivatives or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. These contracts are intended to be used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between the trade and settlement dates of the contract. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the settlement of purchases and sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars, to shift investment exposure from one currency to another, and to shift U.S. dollar exposure to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its benchmark, and/or to recover an underweight country exposure in its portfolio.
The values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts fluctuate with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund will record a realized gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed.
The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to produce incremental earnings, manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and manage exposure to movements in interest rates. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks which may include interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits
| | | | |

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options
Options are contracts which entitle the holder to purchase or sell securities or other identified assets at a specified price, or in the case of index option contracts, to receive or pay the difference between the index value and the strike price of the index option contract. The Fund purchased and wrote option contracts to produce incremental earnings and to protect gains. Completion of transactions for option contracts traded in the OTC market depends upon the performance of the other party. Cash collateral may be collected or posted by the Fund to secure certain OTC option contract trades. Cash collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option contract trades must be returned to the counterparty or the Fund upon closure, exercise or expiration of the contract.
Option contracts purchased are recorded as investments and options contracts written are recorded as liabilities of the Fund. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the option contract expires or is exercised. When option contracts on debt securities or futures are exercised, the Fund will realize a gain or loss. When other option contracts are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call or purchased put option contract, or the purchase cost for a written put or purchased call option contract, is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
The risk in buying an option contract is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option contract is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. The risk in writing a call option contract is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option contract is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option contract is exercised. The Fund’s maximum payout in the case of written put option contracts represents the
| | |
34 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund could be required to make under the contract. For OTC options contracts, the transaction is also subject to counterparty credit risk. The maximum payout amount may be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained upon the exercise of the put option contracts by holders of the option contracts or proceeds received upon entering into the contracts.
Effects of Derivative Transactions in the Financial Statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund's operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
| | |
36 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities
The Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. Interest payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid. These adjustments are recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.
Inflation adjustments to the principal amount and cost basis of inflation-indexed securities are included in interest income.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 37 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign Taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid each calendar quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income dividend. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures.
Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information
| | |
38 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Note | 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates |
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.44% to 0.25% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.44% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective administration fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.07% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Other Fees
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board, including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, other expenses paid to this company were $1,663.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not "interested persons" of the Fund, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 39 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R4 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.27 | % |
Class B | | | 0.26 | |
Class C | | | 0.27 | |
Class R | | | 0.26 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.04 | |
Class W | | | 0.32 | |
Class Z | | | 0.30 | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to
| | |
40 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $80.
Plan Administration Fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $1,004,000 and $186,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2011, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $127,916 for Class A, $838 for Class B and $382 for Class C shares for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
Effective October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through September 30, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 41 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.85 | % |
Class B | | | 1.60 | |
Class C | | | 1.60 | |
Class I | | | 0.40 | |
Class R | | | 1.10 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.70 | |
Class W | | | 0.85 | |
Class Z | | | 0.60 | |
Prior to October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and its affiliates contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, did not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.85 | % |
Class B | | | 1.60 | |
Class C | | | 1.60 | |
Class I | | | 0.44 | |
Class R | | | 1.10 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.74 | |
Class W | | | 0.85 | |
Class Z | | | 0.60 | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.
Note | 4. Federal Tax Information |
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
| | |
42 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
At January 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $507,371,000 and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 44,549,000 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (350,000 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 44,199,000 | |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note | 5. Portfolio Information |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $312,905,936 and $349,208,883, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2012, of which $285,666,773 and $324,311,225, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note | 6. Lending of Portfolio Securities |
The Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned. At January 31, 2012, securities valued at $7,720,653 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $7,738,499
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 43 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the six months ended January 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Note | 7. Affiliated Money Market Fund |
The Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as “Dividends from affiliates” in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note | 8. Shareholder Concentration |
At January 31, 2012, affiliated shareholder accounts owned 23.9% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus
| | |
44 | | COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.
Prior to December 13, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Note | 10. Significant Risks |
Non-Diversification Risk
A non-diversified fund is permitted to invest a greater percentage of its total assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may, therefore, have a greater risk of loss from a few issuers than a similar fund that invests more broadly.
Inflation Protected Securities Risk
Inflation-protected debt securities tend to react to change in real interest rates. Real interest rates can be described as nominal interest rates minus the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security falls when real interest rates rise, and rises when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation and may be more volatile than interest paid on ordinary bonds. In periods of deflation, the Fund may have no income at all. Income earned by a shareholder depends on the amount of principal invested and that principal will not grow with inflation unless the investor reinvests the portion of Fund distributions that comes from inflation adjustments.
Note | 11. Subsequent Events |
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note | 12. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings |
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (currently branded as Columbia) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege
| | | | |
COLUMBIA INFLATION PROTECTED SECURITIES FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 45 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit's decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs' opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011 and oral arguments took place on November 17, 2011.
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered

by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.
The 3.00% sales charge applicable to Class A shares of the Fund is not reflected in the table above. If reflected, returns would be lower than those shown. The performance of other classes may vary from that shown because of differences in fees and expenses. The Fund’s returns reflect the effect of fee waivers/ expense reimbursements, if any. Without such waivers/reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would be lower. See the Average Annual Total Returns table for performance of other share classes of the Fund.
The index does not reflect the effects of sales charges, expenses and taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
(1) | | The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index is an unmanaged market value-weighted index designed to represent the investable universe of the U.S. dollar-denominated leveraged loan market. The index reflects reinvestment of all distributions and changes in market prices. |

Understanding your expenses
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 366.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest (also referred to as “acquired funds”), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investments vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

(a) | Variable rate security. The interest rate shown reflects the rate as of January 31, 2012. |
(b) | Senior loans have rates of interest that float periodically based primarily on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other short-term rates. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional prepayments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. |
(c) | Represents a senior loan purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Certain details associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date of the transaction. In addition, senior loans typically trade without accrued interest and therefore a weighted average coupon rate is not available prior to settlement. At settlement, if still unknown, the borrower or counterparty will provide the Fund with the final weighted average coupon rate and maturity date. |
(d) | Negligible market value. |
(e) | Identifies issues considered to be illiquid as to their marketability. The aggregate value of such securities at January 31, 2012 was $526,348, representing 0.11% of net assets. Information concerning such security holdings at January 31, 2012 was as follows: |

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| Ÿ | | Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Fair Value Measurements (continued) |
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain Senior Loans, Warrants, Corporate Bonds and Equity Securities classified as Level 3 are valued using a market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, trades of similar securities and the utilization of single market quotations from broker dealers.
(a) | See the Portfolio of Investments for all investment classifications not indicated in the table. |
(b) | There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the period. |

Financial assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable market inputs were utilized and management’s determination that there was sufficient, reliable and observable market data to value these assets as of period end.
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are determined based on the fair value at the beginning of the period for security positions held throughout the period.

Notes to Financial Statements | | |
January 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
Columbia Floating Rate Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class W and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to qualifying institutional investors.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges; however, this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges; however, this share class is closed to new investors.

Note | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in
| | | | |
COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 39 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates
| | |
40 | | COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Investments in Loans
The senior loans acquired by the Fund typically take the form of a direct lending relationship with the borrower acquired through an assignment of another lender’s interest in a loan. The lead lender in a typical corporate loan syndicate administers the loan and monitors collateral. In the event that the lead lender becomes insolvent, enters Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) receivership, or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment, or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. Loans are typically secured but may be unsecured. The primary risk arising from investing in subordinated loans or in unsecured loans is the potential loss in the event of default by the issuer of the loans.
Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Sale Commitments
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
The Fund may enter into forward sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of forward sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. While a forward sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or an offsetting forward purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are used to satisfy the commitment.
Unsettled forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation” above. The forward sale commitment is “marked-to-market” daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the market price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
| | | | |

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Trade date for senior loans purchased in the primary market is the date on which the loan is allocated. Trade date for senior loans purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.
The Fund recognizes certain facility fees as income over the expected term of the loan. The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and increases the cost basis of such securities.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute
| | |
42 | | COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign Taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 43 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Note | 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates |
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.59% to 0.36% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.58% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective administration fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was 0.07% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other Fees
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board, including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, other expenses paid to this company were $1,619.
| | |
44 | | COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R4 and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 45 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 0.18 | % |
Class B | | | 0.18 | |
Class C | | | 0.18 | |
Class R | | | 0.18 | |
Class R4 | | | 0.06 | |
Class R5 | | | 0.06 | |
Class W | | | 0.18 | |
Class Z | | | 0.18 | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $60.
Plan Administration Fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $863 for Class B shares. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2011, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
| | |
46 | | COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |

Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $107,233 for Class A, $3,785 for Class B and $10,447 for Class C shares for the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
Effective October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through September 30, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 1.12 | % |
Class B | | | 1.87 | |
Class C | | | 1.87 | |
Class I | | | 0.80 | |
Class R | | | 1.37 | |
Class R4 | | | 1.10 | |
Class R5 | | | 0.85 | |
Class W | | | 1.12 | |
Class Z | | | 0.87 | |
Prior to October 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and its affiliates contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, did not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Class A | | | 1.08 | % |
Class B | | | 1.83 | |
Class C | | | 1.83 | |
Class I | | | 0.74 | |
Class R | | | 1.33 | |
Class R4 | | | 1.04 | |
Class R5 | | | 0.79 | |
Class W | | | 1.08 | |
Class Z | | | 0.83 | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and
| | | | |
COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 47 | |
| | |

exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.
Note | 4. Federal Tax Information |
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $476,700,000 and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 8,814,000 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | $ | (27,118,000 | ) |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (18,304,000 | ) |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined as of July 31, 2011 may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
| | | | |
Year of expiration | | Amount | |
2016 | | $ | 1,957,317 | |
2017 | | | 29,093,899 | |
2018 | | | 35,398,330 | |
Total | | $ | 66,449,546 | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However,
| | |
48 | | COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note | 5. Portfolio Information |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $67,340,002 and $242,533,976, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2012
Note | 6. Affiliated Money Market Fund |
The Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as “Dividends from affiliates” in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note | 7. Shareholder Concentration |
At January 31, 2012, affiliated shareholder accounts owned 13.8% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.
| | | | |
COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 49 | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | | |
Prior to December 13, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $6,500,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.46%.
Floating Rate Loan Risk
Columbia Floating Rate Fund invests primarily in floating rate loans, the market value of which may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, highly leveraged transactions risk, prepayment and extension risk, confidential information access risk, and impairment of collateral risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, the prices of fixed income securities fall, however, securities or loans with floating interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes, but they may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much as interest rates in general. Limited liquidity may affect the ability of the Fund to purchase or sell floating rate loans and may have a negative impact on fund performance. The floating rate loans and securities in which the fund invests generally are lower rated (non-investment grade) and are more likely to experience a default, which results in more volatile prices and more risk to principal and income than investment grade loans or securities.
Note | 10. Subsequent Events |
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note | 11. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings |
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (currently branded as Columbia) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege
| | |
50 | | COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs’ opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011 and oral arguments took place on November 17, 2011.
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at

www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Trustees.
Columbia Floating Rate Fund (the “Fund”) is one of several defendants to a bankruptcy proceeding captioned Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA, Inc., et al. v. Citicorp North America, Inc., et al, (the “Lawsuit”), (In re TOUSA, Inc., et al.), pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Fund and several other defendants (together the “Senior Transeastern Defendants”) were lenders to parties involved in a joint venture with TOUSA, Inc. (“TOUSA”) on a $450 million Credit Agreement dated as of August 1, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”). In 2006, the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement brought claims against TOUSA alleging that certain events of default had occurred under the Credit Agreement thus triggering the guaranties (the “Transeastern Litigation”). On July 31, 2007, TOUSA and the Senior Transeastern Defendants reached a settlement in the Transeastern Litigation pursuant to which the Fund (as well as the other Senior Transeastern Defendants) released its claims and was paid $1,052,271. To fund the settlement, TOUSA entered into a $500 million credit facility with new lenders secured by liens on the assets of certain of TOUSA’s subsidiaries. On January 29, 2008, TOUSA and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. In August 2008, the Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA (“Committee”) filed the Lawsuit, seeking as to the Fund and the other Senior Transeastern Defendants a return of the money the Senior Transeastern Defendants received as part of the Transeastern Litigation settlement. The Lawsuit went to trial in July 2009, and the Bankruptcy Court ordered the Fund and the other Senior Transeastern Defendants to disgorge the money they received in settlement of the Transeastern Litigation. The Senior Transeastern Defendants, including the Fund, appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision to the District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “District Court”). To stay execution of the judgment against the Fund pending appeal, the Fund deposited $1,327,620 with the Bankruptcy Court clerk of court. On February 11, 2011, the District Court entered an opinion and order quashing the Bankruptcy Court’s decision as it relates to the liability of the Senior Transeastern Defendants and ordering that “[t]he Bankruptcy Court’s imposition of remedies as to the [Senior Transeastern Defendants] is null and void.” On March 8, 2011, the Committee appealed the District Court’s order to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court will hear oral argument on the appeal on March 21, 2012.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine
| | |
52 | | COLUMBIA FLOATING RATE FUND — 2012 SEMIANNUAL REPORT |
litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.
