The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses – BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Trust Class Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,024.40 | 0.81 | 0.82 | 0.16 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and California individual income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares and the Fund offers seven classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule
being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
18
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. 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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Tax-Exempt Income | $ | 26,628 | $ | 337,696 | |||||||
Ordinary Income* | 29 | 2,574 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | 25,188 | $ | — | $ | — |
Under current tax rules, certain currency and capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2013, post-October capital losses of $849
19
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
attributed to security transactions were deferred to September 1, 2013.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-Act capital loss carry forwards which, if not used, will expire as follows:
Year of Expiration | Capital Loss Carry Forwards | ||||||
2018 | $ | 764,679 |
Capital loss carry forwards of $5,573 were utilized by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2013.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
20
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of
a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.35 | % | 0.35 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** | |||||||
Shareholder Servicing Plan: | |||||||||||
Adviser Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** |
* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2013 as a percentage of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.10%, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or
21
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder
administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | recovery | ended 08/31/13 | |||||||||||||||
$ | 587,907 | $ | 674,674 | $ | 898,417 | $ | 2,160,998 | $ | — |
22
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations.
Note 5. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $48 for the Fund.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a
significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of the total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by a Fund could affect the value of shares of the Fund more than it would affect the value of shares of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds. The Fund may not operate as a non-diversified fund at all times.
Geographic Concentration Risk
The Fund invests primarily in debt obligations issued by the State of California, and its political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, and other qualified issuers that may be located outside of California. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of this state's municipal securities than are
23
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of BofA Funds Series Trust and Shareholders of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves (the "Fund") (a series of BofA Funds Series Trust) at August 31, 2013, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses – BofA Cash Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA Cash Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA Cash Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares and the Fund offers ten classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class, Marsico and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, Class A shares were renamed Investor II Class shares and Class B shares and Class C shares converted into Investor II Class shares. On October 1, 2011, Institutional Capital shares commenced operations and Class Z shares were converted into Institutional Capital shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
27
BofA Cash Reserves, August 31, 2013
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.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that BofA Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), determines are creditworthy. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the securities purchased by the Fund under the repurchase agreements, which may include securities that the Fund is not otherwise directly permitted to purchase, such as long-term government bonds, investment-grade corporate bonds and equity securities. The Advisor is responsible for determining that such underlying securities are 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 the 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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Capital Support
On October 5, 2009, an affiliate of the Advisor purchased certain securities owned by the Fund. In addition, on October 8, 2009, an affiliate of the Advisor made a capital contribution to the Fund of $21,755,102.
28
BofA Cash Reserves, August 31, 2013
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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for non-deductible excise tax were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | Paid-In Capital | |||||||||
$ | 180,837 | $ | — | $ | (180,837 | ) |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Ordinary Income* | $ | 5,805,527 | $ | 10,619,734 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | — | $ | 5,019,673 | $ | — |
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to
effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-Act capital loss carry forwards which, if not used, will expire as follows:
Year of Expiration | Capital Loss Carry Forwards | ||||||
2017 | $ | 2,345,565 |
Capital loss carry forwards of $20,187 were utilized by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2013.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
The Advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined

average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The
Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
As of February 1, 2013, the Fund entered into a Shadow Pricing agreement with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides a daily shadow net asset value calculation for the Fund. Under the agreement, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $20,000 paid monthly.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

BofA Cash Reserves, August 31, 2013
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class and Marsico shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.35 | % | 0.35 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Investor II Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** | |||||||
Shareholder Servicing Plan: | |||||||||||
Adviser Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||

Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** | |||||||
Marsico Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % |
* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2013 as a percentage of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.10%, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class, Investor II Class, Marsico and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||
Investor II Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Marsico Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and
31
BofA Cash Reserves, August 31, 2013
administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the
Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | recovery | ended 08/31/2013 | |||||||||||||||
$ | 7,018,579 | $ | 8,236,952 | $ | 11,280,667 | $ | 26,536,198 | $ | — |
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 6. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $71 for the Fund.
Note 7. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 8. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
32
BofA Cash Reserves, August 31, 2013
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 9. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
The Fund may be subject to mortgage-related risk. The value of mortgage-backed securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages default or pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall, or pay off their mortgages later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise.
The Fund may be subject to asset-backed securities risk. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be impacted by the cash flows generated by the assets backing these securities. The value of the Fund's asset-backed securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the underlying securities or the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of BofA Funds Series Trust and Shareholders of BofA Cash Reserves
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BofA Cash Reserves (the "Fund") (a series of BofA Funds Series Trust) at August 31, 2013, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses – BofA Government Plus Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA Government Plus Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA Government Plus Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares and the Fund offers nine classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, G-Trust shares were renamed Institutional Capital shares. On October 1, 2011, Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares. On October 3, 2011, the Daily Class shares, Investor Class shares and Investor II Class shares commenced operations.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
20
BofA Government Plus Reserves, August 31, 2013
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.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that BofA Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), determines are creditworthy. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the securities purchased by the Fund under the repurchase agreements, which may include securities that the Fund is not otherwise directly permitted to purchase, such as long-term government bonds. The Advisor is responsible for determining that such underlying securities are 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 the 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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. 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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
21
BofA Government Plus Reserves, August 31, 2013
For the year ended August 31, 2013, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for distribution re-designations were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | Paid-In Capital | |||||||||
$ | 4,367 | $ | (4,367 | ) | $ | — |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Ordinary Income* | $ | 114,910 | $ | 48,337 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | — | $ | 3,652 | $ | — |
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit
to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
The Advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.18 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
As of January 1, 2013, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Advisor had contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.16% of the Fund's average net assets.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.16% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
22
BofA Government Plus Reserves, August 31, 2013
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.067 | % | |||||
Over $125 billion | 0.020 | % |
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2013 at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class, Investor II Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||
Investor II Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.02% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. Prior to March 20, 2012, the Distributor and the Advisor had voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses, as applicable, in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
24
BofA Government Plus Reserves, August 31, 2013
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed on or after January 1, 2013 for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause
the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: 2016 | Total potential recovery | Amount recovered during the year ended 08/31/2013 | |||||||||
$ | 547,381 | $ | 547,381 | $ | — |
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $11 for the Fund.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided
by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Capital Contribution
On November 29, 2010, an affiliate of the Advisor made a voluntary capital contribution to the Fund of $325,079.
Note 8. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 9. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The
25
BofA Government Plus Reserves, August 31, 2013
Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses – BofA Government Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA Government Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA Government Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers nine classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, Class A shares were renamed Investor II Class shares and G-Trust shares were renamed Institutional Capital shares. On October 1, 2011, Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
19
BofA Government Reserves, August 31, 2013
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. 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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Ordinary Income* | $ | 629,798 | $ | 289,154 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | — | $ | 19,665 | $ | — |
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain
20
BofA Government Reserves, August 31, 2013
circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-Act capital loss carry forwards which, if not used, will expire as follows:
Year of Expiration | Capital Loss Carry Forwards | ||||||
2014 | $ | 416,970 |
Capital loss carry forwards of $12,315 were utilized by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2013.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the
other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The
21
BofA Government Reserves, August 31, 2013
Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan
adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.35 | % | 0.35 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Investor II Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||

Investor II Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** |
* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2013 as a percentage of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.10%, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
22
BofA Government Reserves, August 31, 2013
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class, Investor II Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||
Investor II Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no
guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.01% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time. Prior to March 20, 2012, the Distributor and the Advisor had voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses, as applicable, in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | recovery | ended 08/31/13 | |||||||||||||||

23
BofA Government Reserves, August 31, 2013
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $6,557 for the Fund.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed,
24
BofA Government Reserves, August 31, 2013
among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of BofA Funds Series Trust and Shareholders of BofA Government Reserves
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BofA Government Reserves (the "Fund") (a series of BofA Funds Series Trust) at August 31, 2013, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Understanding Your Expenses – BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
03/01/13 – 08/31/13 (Unaudited)
Account value at the beginning of the period ($) | Account value at the end of the period ($) | Expenses paid during the period ($) | Fund's annualized expense ratio (%) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Actual | Hypothetical | Actual | Hypothetical | Actual | Hypothetical | Actual | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Capital Class Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.30 | 1,024.35 | 0.86 | 0.87 | 0.17 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Investor Class Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.20 | 1,024.30 | 0.91 | 0.92 | 0.18 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trust Class Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.20 | 1,024.25 | 0.96 | 0.97 | 0.19 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA Money Market Funds
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves and BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), each a series of the Trust. Each Fund is a non-diversified fund.
Investment Objectives
BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and Connecticut individual, trust and estate income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity. BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and Massachusetts individual income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and each Fund offers three classes of shares: Capital Class, Investor Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. On October 1, 2011, for each Fund, the Capital Class shares commenced operations and the G-Trust and Retail A shares converted into each Fund's Capital Class shares. On October 3, 2011, each Fund's Investor Class shares commenced operations. On July 18, 2012, each Fund's Trust Class shares commenced operations.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Funds are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's 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 Funds. 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and each Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which each Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own
21
BofA Money Market Funds, August 31, 2013
assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Funds and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to such Fund.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statements of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of a 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
Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income
taxes. In addition, each 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 each Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Funds generally intend to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Funds, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. 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. Reclassifications are made to a Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
22
BofA Money Market Funds, August 31, 2013
For the year ended August 31, 2013, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for distribution re-designations and prior year undistributed tax-exempt income were identified and reclassified among the components of the Funds' net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | Paid-In Capital | |||||||||||||
BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves | $ | 2,651 | $ | (2,651 | ) | $ | — | ||||||||
BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves | 5,023 | (8,397 | ) | 3,374 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, 2013 | |||||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Income | Ordinary Income* | Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||||||
BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves | $ | 33,836 | $ | 2,651 | $ | ||||||||||
BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves | 60,143 | 8,397 | — | ||||||||||||
August 31, 2012 | |||||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Income | Ordinary Income* | Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||||||
BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves | $ | 120,335 | $ | — | $ | — | |||||||||
BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves | 152,456 | — | �� | — |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis as of August 31, 2013 were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||||||
BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves | $ | 16,532 | $ | — | $ | — | |||||||||
BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves | 29,304 | 3,758 | — |
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the
report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes,
23
BofA Money Market Funds, August 31, 2013
based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by each Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Funds. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Funds and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Funds to an annual rate of 0.19% of each Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the effective investment advisory fee rates, net of fee waivers, were 0.15% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Funds for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Funds and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Funds as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Funds. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Funds. Under the State Street Agreements, each Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of each Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Funds also reimburse State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in each Investment Portfolio.
24
BofA Money Market Funds, August 31, 2013
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Funds' shares. Under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Funds.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below a Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Funds may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Funds' shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Investor Class shares of the Funds. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Funds to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Investor Class shares of the Funds. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Funds to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits for each Fund, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Investor Class Shares – Connecticut Municipal Reserves | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares – Massachusetts Municipal Reserves | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Shareholder Servicing Plan: | |||||||||||
Investor Class Shares – Connecticut Municipal Reserves | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares – Massachusetts Municipal Reserves | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % |
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted a shareholder administration plan ("Administration Plan") for the Trust Class shares of the Funds. Under the Administration Plan, the Funds may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plan: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Trust Class Shares – Connecticut Municipal Reserves | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares – Massachusetts Municipal Reserves | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |

The Advisor and/or some of the Funds' other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Funds' expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Funds' ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Funds' custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of each Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as
applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of each Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Funds certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed on or after January 1, 2013 for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Funds' total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||
2016 | recovery | ended 08/31/13 | |||||||||||||
Connecticut Municipal Reserves | $ | 224,361 | $ | 224,361 | $ | — | |||||||||
Massachusetts Municipal Reserves | $ | 256,860 | $ | 256,860 | $ | — |
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, pay their pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Funds, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Funds had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statements of Operations. The Funds could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if they had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses for the Funds as follows:

BofA Money Market Funds, August 31, 2013
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Funds and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Funds did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Funds' shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Funds.
Note 8. Reimbursement
During the year ended August 31, 2013, the Advisor reimbursed BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves $10,160 due to a trading error.
Note 9. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Funds' risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Funds are subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Funds could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Funds are non-diversified, which generally means that they may invest a greater percentage of their total assets in
the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by a Fund could affect the value of shares of the Fund more than it would affect the value of shares of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Funds' value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds. The Funds may not operate as non-diversified funds at all times.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Funds may be subject to redemption risk. The Funds may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Funds may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Funds could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Geographic Concentration Risk
BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves and BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves invest primarily in debt obligations issued, respectively, by the State of Connecticut and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and their political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, and other qualified issuers that may be located outside of Connecticut and Massachusetts, respectively. The Funds are more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of each respective state's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the
27
BofA Money Market Funds, August 31, 2013
BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

To the Trustees of BofA Funds Series Trust and Shareholders of BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves and BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolios, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves and BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves (each a series of BofA Funds Series Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") at August 31, 2013, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses – BofA Money Market Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Trust Class Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,024.00 | 1.21 | 1.22 | 0.24 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA Money Market Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA Money Market Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers six classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, G-Trust shares were renamed Institutional Capital shares. On October 1, 2011, Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
22
BofA Money Market Reserves, August 31, 2013
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that BofA Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), determines are creditworthy. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the securities purchased by the Fund under the repurchase agreements, which may include securities that the Fund is not otherwise directly permitted to purchase, such as long-term government bonds, investment-grade corporate bonds and equity securities. The Advisor is responsible for determining that such underlying securities are 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 the 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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Capital Support
On September 8, 2009, an affiliate of the Advisor purchased certain securities owned by 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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for
23
BofA Money Market Reserves, August 31, 2013
distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for distribution re-designations were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | Paid-In Capital | |||||||||
$ | 88,066 | $ | (88,065 | ) | $ | (1 | ) |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Ordinary Income* | $ | 8,887,057 | $ | 12,964,629 | |||||||
Long-Term Capital Gains | 17,508 | 10,896 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | — | $ | 152,335 | $ | — |
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
The Advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
24
BofA Money Market Reserves, August 31, 2013
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
As of February 1, 2013, the Fund entered into a Shadow Pricing agreement with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides a daily shadow net asset value
calculation for the Fund. Under the agreement, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $20,000 paid monthly.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
25
BofA Money Market Reserves, August 31, 2013
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** | |||||||
Shareholder Servicing Plan: | |||||||||||
Adviser Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** |
* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2013 as a percentage of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.10%, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
26
BofA Money Market Reserves, August 31, 2013
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | recovery | ended 08/31/2013 | |||||||||||||||
$ | 7,551,736 | $ | 6,172,479 | $ | 6,692,522 | $ | 20,416,737 | $ | — |
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 6. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $386 for the Fund.
Note 7. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR
Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 8. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 9. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
The Fund may be subject to mortgage-related risk. The value of mortgage-backed securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages default or pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall, or pay off their mortgages later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise.
The Fund may be subject to asset-backed securities risk. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be impacted by the cash flows generated by the assets backing these securities. The value of the Fund's asset-backed

BofA Money Market Reserves, August 31, 2013
securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the underlying securities or the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of BofA Funds Series Trust and Shareholders of BofA Money Market Reserves
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BofA Money Market Reserves (the "Fund") (a series of BofA Funds Series Trust) at August 31, 2013, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses – BofA Municipal Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Trust Class Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.40 | 1,024.15 | 1.06 | 1.07 | 0.21 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA Municipal Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA Municipal Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers eight classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. On October 1, 2011, Institutional Capital shares commenced operations and Class Z shares were converted into Institutional Capital shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
27
BofA Municipal Reserves, August 31, 2013
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. 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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for prior year undistributed tax-exempt income were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | Paid-In Capital | |||||||||
$ | (113,358 | ) | $ | — | $ | 113,358 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Tax-Exempt Income | $ | 776,314 | $ | 2,026,508 | |||||||
Ordinary Income* | 320,181 | 289,204 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
28
BofA Municipal Reserves, August 31, 2013
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | 352,380 | $ | 156,652 | $ | — |
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-Act capital loss carry forwards which, if not used, will expire as follows:
Year of Expiration | Capital Loss Carry Forwards | ||||||
2017 | $ | 226,472 |
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had post-Act capital losses as follows:
Short-Term Losses | |||||||
$ | 75,393 |
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However,
management's conclusions 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). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following
29
BofA Municipal Reserves, August 31, 2013
annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the
account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
30
BofA Municipal Reserves, August 31, 2013
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.35 | % | 0.35 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** | |||||||

Investor Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** |
* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2013 as a percentage of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.10%, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
31
BofA Municipal Reserves, August 31, 2013
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | recovery | ended 08/31/2013 | |||||||||||||||
$ | 1,634,582 | $ | 2,382,610 | $ | 3,128,637 | $ | 7,145,829 | $ | — |
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $214 for the Fund.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is
also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Reimbursement
During the year ended August 31, 2013, the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $35,560 due to a trading error.
Note 9. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.

BofA Municipal Reserves, August 31, 2013
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of BofA Funds Series Trust and Shareholders of BofA Municipal Reserves
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BofA Municipal Reserves (the "Fund") (a series of BofA Funds Series Trust) at August 31, 2013, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses – BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Trust Class Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.10 | 1,024.25 | 0.96 | 0.97 | 0.19 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and New York individual income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers four classes of shares: Capital Class, Institutional Class, Investor Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. The following changes to the Fund's share classes occurred on October 1, 2011: Investor Class shares commenced operations; Class A shares were converted into Investor Class shares; and G-Trust shares and Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
15
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
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. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to
distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. 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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for distribution re-designations and prior year undistributed tax-exempt income were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | Paid-In Capital | |||||||||
$ | 6,018 | $ | (6,529 | ) | $ | 511 |
16
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Tax-Exempt Income | $ | 50,153 | $ | 230,558 | |||||||
Ordinary Income* | 6,529 | — | |||||||||
Long-Term Capital Gains | — | 62,768 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | 23,305 | $ | — | $ | 13,574 |
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Fund's
federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
17
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of
a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Investor Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Investor Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Shareholder Servicing Plan: | |||||||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % |
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
18
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | recovery | ended 08/31/2013 | |||||||||||||||
$ | 460,655 | $ | 547,553 | $ | 671,629 | $ | 1,679,837 | $ | — |
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $12 for the Fund.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided
19
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of the total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This
increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by a Fund could affect the value of shares of the Fund more than it would affect the value of shares of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds. The Fund may not operate as a non-diversified fund at all times.
Geographic Concentration Risk
The Fund invests primarily in debt obligations issued by the State of New York, and its political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, and other qualified issuers that may be located outside of New York. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of this state's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of BofA Funds Series Trust and Shareholders of BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves (the "Fund") (a series of BofA Funds Series Trust) at August 31, 2013, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views.

Understanding Your Expenses – BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.
(a) The expense ratio shown does not correspond with the relative expense structure of the share class for the period due to the timing of subscriptions and redemptions of shares, fluctuating yields of the portfolio as well as yield floor expense reimbursements made to the share class.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust ("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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers eight classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, G-Trust shares were renamed Institutional Capital shares. On October 1, 2011, Class A shares were converted into Investor Class shares and Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
38
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and
warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. 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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for non-deductible excise tax were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | Paid-In Capital | |||||||||
$ | 200 | $ | — | $ | (200 | ) |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Tax-Exempt Income | $ | 257,350 | $ | 911,794 | |||||||
Ordinary Income* | — | 332,535 | |||||||||
Long-Term Capital Gains | — | 272,533 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | 242,779 | $ | 3,235 | $ | — |
39
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had post-Act capital losses as follows:
Short-Term Losses | |||
$ | 146,546 |
Capital loss carry forwards of $48,514 were utilized by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2013.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based
on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The
40
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or
reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.35 | % | 0.35 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** | |||||||
Shareholder Servicing Plan: | |||||||||||
Adviser Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** |
* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2013 at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for
41
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||
Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | recovery | ended 08/31/2013 | |||||||||||||||
$ | 3,197,030 | $ | 3,240,857 | $ | 3,595,998 | $ | 10,033,885 | $ | — |
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances
reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an
42
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, August 31, 2013
income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $1,114 for the Fund.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be
able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses – BofA Treasury Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period 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. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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 this period.
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 costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% 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.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to an annual fee of up to $20. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.
(a) The expense ratio shown does not correspond with the relative expense structure of the share class for the period due to the timing of subscriptions and redemptions of shares, fluctuating yields of the portfolio as well as yield floor expense reimbursements made to the share class.

Notes to Financial Statements – BofA Treasury Reserves
August 31, 2013
Note 1. Organization
BofA Treasury Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers nine classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, Class A shares were renamed Investor II Class shares. On October 3, 2011, Institutional Capital shares commenced operations.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
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 disclosures.
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 subject to the conditions in such rule
being met, including that the Trust's 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 reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, 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.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
21
BofA Treasury Reserves, August 31, 2013
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that BofA Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), determines are creditworthy. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the securities purchased by the Fund under the repurchase agreements, which may include securities that the Fund is not otherwise directly permitted to purchase, such as long-term government bonds. The Advisor is responsible for determining that such underlying securities are 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 the 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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series 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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on 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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute
substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, 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 tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. 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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were as follows:
August 31, | |||||||||||
Distributions paid from | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Ordinary Income* | $ | 930,333 | $ | 541,817 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
22
BofA Treasury Reserves, August 31, 2013
As of August 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | |||||||||
$ | — | $ | 14,466 | $ | — |
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act (December 22, 2010) be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions 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). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
The Advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined
average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $175 billion | 0.15 | % | |||||
$175 billion to $225 billion | 0.13 | % | |||||
Over $225 billion | 0.08 | % |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund's effective advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rates | ||||||
First $125 billion | 0.10 | % | |||||
$125 billion to $175 billion | 0.05 | % | |||||
Over $175 billion | 0.02 | % |
Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The
23
BofA Treasury Reserves, August 31, 2013
Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of up to $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirements applicable to the account holder to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2013, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
In addition to the charge for accounts below the minimum initial investment, the Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $250. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan
adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to selling agents for sales support services.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate servicing agents for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:
Distribution Plan: | Current Rate (after fee waivers) | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.35 | % | 0.35 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Investor II Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** | |||||||
Shareholder Servicing Plan: | |||||||||||
Adviser Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Daily Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Investor Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Investor II Class Shares | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | |||||||
Liquidity Class Shares | 0.15 | %* | 0.25 | %** |
* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2013 as a percentage of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.10%, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
24
BofA Treasury Reserves, August 31, 2013
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class, Investor II Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay servicing agents that have entered into a shareholder administration agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support services that are provided to holders of the classes' shares. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
Administration Plans: | Current Rate | Plan Limit | |||||||||
Institutional Class Shares | 0.04 | % | 0.04 | % | |||||||

Trust Class Shares | 0.10 | % | 0.10 | % |

The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2013, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.01% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time. Prior to March 20, 2012, the Distributor and the Advisor had voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses, as applicable, in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
The Advisor is entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such fee waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At August 31, 2013, the amounts potentially recoverable by the Advisor pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:
Amount of potential recovery expiring August 31: | Total potential | Amount recovered during the year | |||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | recovery | ended 08/31/13 | |||||||||||||||
$ | 5,806,647 | $ | 5,240,089 | $ | 5,773,438 | $ | 16,820,174 | $ | — |
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief
Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The
25
BofA Treasury Reserves, August 31, 2013
Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Custody Credits
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $4,151 for the Fund.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $8,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the year ended August 31, 2013, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Capital Contribution
On November 29, 2010, an affiliate of the Advisor made a capital contribution to the Fund of $3,865,298.
Note 8. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a
significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 9. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of BofA Funds Series Trust and Shareholders of BofA Treasury Reserves
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BofA Treasury Reserves (the "Fund") (a series of BofA Funds Series Trust) at August 31, 2013, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The registrant’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (“Adviser Affiliates”), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
The Audit Committee has adopted a Policy for Engagement of Independent Accountants for Audit and Non-Audit Services (“Policy”). The Policy sets forth the understanding of the Audit Committee regarding the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide (i) audit and permissible audit-related, tax and other services to the registrant (collectively “Fund Services”); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates, if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of a Fund (collectively “Fund-related Adviser Services”); and (iii)
certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates. Unless a type of service receives general pre-approval under the Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent accountants. Pre-approval of non-audit services to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates may be waived provided that the “de minimis” requirements set forth under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are met.
Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are Independent Trustees/Directors. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent accountants may not be delegated to management.
The Policy requires the Fund Treasurer and/or an appropriate Fund officer to submit to the Audit Committee, on an annual basis, a schedule of the types of services that are subject to general pre-approval. The schedule(s) provide a description of each type of service that is subject to general pre-approval and, where possible, will provide estimated fee caps for each instance of providing each service. The Audit Committees will review and approve the types of services and review the projected fees for the next fiscal year and may add to, or subtract from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time based on subsequent determinations. That approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that the independent accountants will be permitted to perform.
The Fund Treasurer and/or an appropriate Fund officer shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services initiated since the last such report was rendered, including a general description of the services, actual billed and projected fees, and the means by which such Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
*****
(e)(2) The percentage of services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item approved pursuant to the “de minimis” exception under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during both fiscal years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 was zero.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 are approximately as follows:
2013 |
| 2012 |
| ||
$ | 359,917 |
| $ | 349,885 |
|
(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Investments
(a) The registrant’s “Schedule I — Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers” (as set forth in 17 CFR 210.12-12) is included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.
(b) Not applicable.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
Not applicable.
Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.
Not applicable.
Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
There were no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors.
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
(a) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officers, based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report, have concluded that such controls and procedures are adequately designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the registrant in Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) There was no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 12. Exhibits.
