The views expressed in the President's Message and Portfolio Managers' reports 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 Columbia Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular Columbia Fund. References to specific company securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.

Dear Shareholder,
Over the past few years, you've heard a lot about change here at Columbia Funds as we've streamlined our fund offerings, reduced our expenses and enhanced the different ways that you can do business with us. Our goal in all these matters has been to make investing easier and more convenient—and to ensure that you find the range of financial choices and services that you expect from one of the nation's leading financial companies.
As 78 million baby boomers move closer to retirement, we are also mindful that retirement is the single most important financial goal for many Americans. To that end we have committed considerable resources to ensure that you can find a wide range of choices at Columbia Funds, whether you are just beginning to invest for retirement or preparing to turn your retirement savings into income. If you haven't done so already, we suggest that you work closely with your financial adviser to draw up a personal investment plan that is based on what you'll require for your future. We continue to look for new ways to help meet the unique needs of all our investors—especially those who are approaching retirement.
As you read the following message from the manager or managers of your Columbia Funds, keep in mind that investing is often a long-term undertaking. While it's important to review the performance and market environment of the most recent period, it's essential to evaluate this information with your goal, time horizon and risk tolerance in mind.
Change is a constant in our lives, but one thing that does not change is our commitment to continue to improve your investment and service experiences. At Columbia Funds, we understand that you have a choice of financial providers and we want you to remain satisfied with your decision to invest with us—now and in the years to come.
Sincerely,

Christopher L. Wilson

Economic Update – Columbia Equity Funds
The U.S. economy grew at a solid but uneven pace during the 12-month period that began October 1, 2005 and ended September 30, 2006. Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at an estimated annualized rate of approximately 3.5% as job growth provided support for consumer spending and rising profits freed up cash for business spending. Personal income also rose.
Yet these overall measures masked a host of challenges, which led to considerable volatility during the 12-month period. Early in the period, the economy reeled from the effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which devastated the Gulf Coast late last summer. The twin storms disrupted the flow of energy products and left millions of Americans without homes or jobs. Consumer confidence plummeted in the wake of the storms. The impact on the labor market was actually less than anticipated. However, economic growth fell to a mere 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The economy regained considerable momentum early in 2006. GDP growth rebounded to 5.6%, job growth resumed at a healthy pace and consumer confidence rebounded. Yet, the once strong housing market showed signs of serious slowing as the year wore on. Inflation edged higher as record-high energy prices took a bigger bite out of household budgets and the overall pace of economic growth slowed in the second half of the period. After 17 consecutive short-term interest rate hikes, the Federal Reserve Board Open Market Committee took no action in its August and September meetings,1 a potential indication that it may feel comfortable, at least for now, that inflation is under control. The federal funds rate, a key short-term lending rate, ended the period at 5.25%.
Stocks moved higher
Despite bouts of volatility, the S&P 500 Index—a broad measure of large company stock performance—returned 10.79% for this reporting period, gaining considerable ground in September. Large-, mid- and small-cap stocks generated similar returns as measured by their respective Russell indices. However, large-caps took the lead in the final months of the period and edged out both mid- and small-caps by a small margin. The Russell 1000 Index returned 10.25%, the Russell Midcap Index returned 9.57% and the Russell 2000 Index returned 9.92%.2 Foreign stock markets generally did better than the U.S. market. The MSCI EAFE Index, which tracks stock market performance in industrialized countries outside the United States, returned 19.16%. Japanese stocks, which accounted for a substantial percentage of the foreign index, contributed to the index's strong gains but gave back some returns as they reversed course in the final months of the period.
Bonds bounced back
The U.S. bond market delivered modest but positive returns, as interest rates spiked higher, then edged lower in the last three months of the period. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a bellwether for the bond market, ended the period at 4.64%—just slightly higher than where it started. In this environment, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.67% for the 12-month period. High-yield bonds led the fixed income markets, reflecting investor confidence about the overall resilience of the economy. The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index returned 7.90%.
1The Fed took no action on the federal funds rate when it met in October, 2006.
2The Russell 1000 Index tracks the performance of 1000 of the largest U.S. companies, based on market capitalization. The Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, as ranked by total market capitalization. The Russell 2000 Index tracks the performance of the 2,000 smallest of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and T shares the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter) and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.
Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirement may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
The returns for Class A and Class B shares include the returns of Prime A shares (for Class A shares) and Prime B shares (for Class B shares) of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class A and Class B shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class A shares and Class B shares also include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund (adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively), for periods prior to the inception of Prime A shares and Prime B shares (November 1, 1998). Class A and Class B shares generally would have had substantially similar returns to Prime A shares, Prime B shares and Retail A shares because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class A and Cla ss B shares exceed expenses paid by Prime A shares and Retail A shares. The returns shown for Class C shares include the returns of Prime B shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charge applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class C shares were initially offered by the Fund. The returns shown for Class C shares also include the returns of Retail A Shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to the date of inception of Prime B shares (November 1, 1998). Class C shares generally would have had substantially similar returns because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although the returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class C shares exceed expenses paid by Retail A or Prime B shares. Retail A shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund were initially offered on December 30, 1991. The returns for Class G and Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares (for class T shares) and Retail B shares (for Class G shares) of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class T and Class G shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust Shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund. Trust Shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund were initially offered on December 30, 1991.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Asset Allocation Fund
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your 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 reporting 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 reporting 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 cost 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 fund companies, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing cost of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees.
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 Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
04/01/06 – 09/30/06
| | Account value at the beginning of the period ($) | | 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 | |
Class A | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,013.59 | | | | 1,018.45 | | | | 6.66 | | | | 6.68 | | | | 1.32 | | |
Class B | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,009.68 | | | | 1,014.69 | | | | 10.43 | | | | 10.45 | | | | 2.07 | | |
Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,009.12 | | | | 1,014.69 | | | | 10.43 | | | | 10.45 | | | | 2.07 | | |
Class G | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,009.98 | | | | 1,014.94 | | | | 10.18 | | | | 10.20 | | | | 2.02 | | |
Class T | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,013.29 | | | | 1,018.20 | | | | 6.91 | | | | 6.93 | | | | 1.37 | | |
Class Z | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,014.79 | | | | 1,019.70 | | | | 5.40 | | | | 5.42 | | | | 1.07 | | |
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 or reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, Class A shares of Columbia Asset Allocation Fund returned 7.39% without sales charge. The S&P 500 Index returned 10.79% and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.67%.1 The fund's return was slightly lower than the 7.58% average return of its peer group, the Morningstar Moderate Allocation Category.2
During the period we reduced the fund's equity exposure to 62% and added modestly to the fund's positions in investment grade bonds and cash equivalents. This slight underweight in equities detracted from performance, because equities outperformed fixed income for the period. However, we believe the fund is prudently allocated for the period ahead.
Emphasis on large cap stocks aided performance
Within the equity portion of the portfolio, the fund emphasized large cap stocks over small cap stocks. This turned out to be a good tactical decision since large-caps outperformed small-caps as economic growth slowed during the period. Historically, investors have leaned toward large caps when growth slows because they tend to be more resilient than smaller companies in a challenging environment. A position in international stocks also aided performance with double-digit gains for the period.
Both growth and value stocks made a positive contribution to the fund's return. However, the fund's allocation to value stocks underperformed its benchmark while the fund's allocation to growth stocks outperformed its benchmark.
Fixed income allocation produced mixed results
The fixed income markets trailed the equity markets during the reporting period as rising interest rates put a damper on returns. As a result, the fund's slight overweight in fixed income detracted from its return. Approximately 33% of the fund's assets were committed to fixed income compared to 62% of the fund's assets committed to equities, compared to a neutral allocation of 60%/40%. In addition, the fund's fixed income return was slightly lower than its benchmark.
Looking ahead
We expect the U.S. economy to expand at a relatively modest pace through the end of the year and into 2007. With energy costs and long-term interest rates edging lower, inflation is likely to remain benign, which should keep the Federal Reserve Board on the sidelines, holding short-term interest rates steady. The housing market is soft and personal consumption growth is likely to slow. However, these could be offset somewhat

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics.

For standardized performance, please refer to the Performance Information page.
Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Investing in high-yield securities (commonly known as "junk" bonds) offers the potential for high current income and attractive total return, but involves certain risks. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a junk bond issuer's ability to make principal and interest payments. Rising interest rates tend to lower the value of all bonds. High-yield bonds issued by foreign entities have greater potential risks, including less regulation, currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments.
The fund may be subject to the same types of risks associated with direct ownership of real estate including the decline of property value due to general, local and regional economic conditions.
International investing involves special risks, including currency risks, risks associated with possible differences in financial standards, and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and T shares and, 4.50% for Class E shares the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year for Class B and Class F shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter) and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.
Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirement may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
The returns for Class E and Class F shares include the returns of Class A shares (for Class E shares) and Class B shares (for Class F shares) of the fund for periods prior to September 22, 2006, the date on which Class E and F shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns for Class A and Class B shares include the returns of Prime A shares (for Class A shares) and Prime B shares (for Class B shares) of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class A and Class B shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class A shares and Class B shares also include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund (adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively) for periods prior to the date of inception of Prime A shares and Prime B shares (November 1, 1998). Class E and Class F shares generally would have had substantially similar returns to Class A and Class B shares, respectively. Class A and Class B shares generally would have had substantially similar returns to Prime A shares, Prime B shares and Retail A shares because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class A and Class B shares exceed expenses paid by Prime A shares and Prime B shares, respectively or Retail A shares. The returns shown for Class C shares include the returns of Prime B shares of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charge applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class C shares were initially offered by the fund.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Large Cap Growth 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 Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm 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.
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your 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 reporting 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 reporting 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 cost 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 fund companies, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing cost of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees.

Class E | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,017.80 | | | | 1,019.45 | | | | 0.30 | | | | 5.67 | | | | 1.12 | | |
Class F | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,017.40 | | | | 1,016.19 | | | | 0.49 | | | | 8.95 | | | | 1.77 | | |
Class Z | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 991.28 | | | | 1,021.11 | | | | 3.94 | | | | 4.00 | | | | 0.79 | | |
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 or reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Portfolio Managers' Report – Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, Class A shares of Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund returned 5.69% without sales charge. The fund trailed the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 6.04%,1 but beat the 4.59% average return of its peer group, the Morningstar Large Growth Category.2 Weak stock selection and underweights in consumer staples and health care dampened performance relative to the index. Strong stock selection in other sectors, driven by our focus on large-cap companies that we believe have strong or improving business prospects, as well as above-average growth, resulted in returns that were ahead of the peer group average.
Stock picking in consumer discretionary led the way
Consumer discretionary stocks gave the biggest boost to performance. We avoided retailers, which seemed vulnerable as consumer spending slowed, and focused instead on areas such as gaming and media. Las Vegas Sands, a casino company, produced especially sharp gains, as investors began to recognize the importance of its properties in Macau, a developing gaming center in the Far East. Office Depot, an office supply retailer, also rallied nicely, following a continued turnaround in its business. Stock selection in the telecommunications services, energy and financials sectors was also positive. Standouts included American Tower, a cell phone tower company that experienced strong demand from wireless service providers, and Kerr-McGee, an exploration and production company that was bought out at a premium. Our gains from Kerr-McGee more than offset losses from Halliburton, an energy service company that suffered as commodity prices d eclined. Our focus on capital markets companies in the financials services sector also benefited performance.
Disappointments came from consumer staples and health care
In the consumer staples sector, the fund lost ground by having a smaller investment than the index in Wal-Mart Stores, which did well even as consumer spending slowed. In health care, the fund avoided domestic pharmaceutical companies, which caused us to miss out on gains in certain major index stocks. Our focus on non-U.S. drug companies as well as biotechnology and medical device firms hampered returns as the market corrected over the summer. An exception was Thermo Electron, which makes laboratory instruments for drug companies. It rallied after reporting continued strong results and announcing the acquisition of Fisher Scientific International. Industrial conglomerates 3M and American Standard Companies, declined sharply, leading us to sell both stocks.

Technology produced a mix of winners and losers
Gains in the technology sector overall were modest, as investors became concerned about a slowdown in tech spending and earnings growth. Akamai Technologies, a service provider for Internet websites, produced outsized gains as Internet traffic volume increased. However, NVIDIA and Corning were major disappointments as we missed the upswings in both holdings. NVIDIA is a leading manufacturer of chips for graphic applications such as video games, while Corning (no longer in the portfolio) makes glass for LCD displays.
Positive outlook for large-cap growth stocks
After years of trailing their small- and mid-cap peers, large-cap growth stocks appear to be poised for better times. Large-cap valuations appear attractive relative to other sectors. Plus, as the business cycle matures, companies with intrinsic growth rates may have an advantage over companies whose revenue gains have been primarily driven by their link to the current cycle. We also expect large-cap growth companies with multi-national operations to benefit if the U.S. dollar weakens further.

Their performance information includes returns of the Retail A shares (for Class A shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B and Class C shares) of the Galaxy Equity Value Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class A, B and C shares were initially offered by the Fund. The returns shown for Class B and Class C shares also include the performance of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Equity Value Fund for periods prior to the inception of Retail B shares (March 4, 1996). Class B and Class C shares generally would have had substantially similar returns to Retail A shares or Retail B shares because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although the returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class B and Class C shares exceed expenses paid by Retail A shares. The returns have not been restated to reflect any di fferences in expenses (such as 12b-1 fees) between any of the predecessor shares and the newer Classes of shares. The returns for Class G and Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares (for Class T shares) and Retail B shares (for Class G shares) of the Galaxy Equity Value Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class T and Class G shares were initially offered by the fund. Retail A shares were initially offered on September 1, 1988. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust Shares of the Galaxy Equity Value Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund. Trust shares of the Galaxy Equity Value Fund were initially offered on September 1, 1998.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Disciplined Value Fund
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your 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 reporting 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 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 reporting 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 cost 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 fund companies, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing cost of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees.
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 Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
04/01/06 – 09/30/06
| | Account value at the beginning of the period ($) | | 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 | |
Class A | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,069.69 | | | | 1,019.00 | | | | 6.28 | | | | 6.12 | | | | 1.21 | | |
Class B | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,065.18 | | | | 1,015.24 | | | | 10.15 | | | | 9.90 | | | | 1.96 | | |
Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,065.38 | | | | 1,015.24 | | | | 10.15 | | | | 9.90 | | | | 1.96 | | |
Class G | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,065.48 | | | | 1,015.49 | | | | 9.89 | | | | 9.65 | | | | 1.91 | | |
Class T | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,068.69 | | | | 1,018.75 | | | | 6.53 | | | | 6.38 | | | | 1.26 | | |
Class Z | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,070.89 | | | | 1,020.26 | | | | 4.98 | | | | 4.86 | | | | 0.96 | | |
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 or reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, Class A shares of Columbia Disciplined Value Fund returned 17.19% without sales charge. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 14.62% over the same period.1 Its return was also higher than the 11.14% average return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Classification average.2 Strong stock selection in the financials, materials, telecommunications and consumer staples sectors aided the fund's performance in an environment that was generally favorable to value stocks.
Stock selection drove positive performance—and a few disappointments
In the financials sector, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase were solid performers. JPMorgan Chase experienced strength in its capital markets and trading business while Goldman Sachs' investment banking and international operations produced solid results. In the materials sector, Nucor and Georgia-Pacific Group (no longer in the portfolio) were solid contributors to the fund's return as global demand for steel and paper—the primary products of the two companies—remained strong. AT&T made a solid contribution to the fund's return within the telecommunications sector. The company was buoyed by strong results in its Cingular wireless division. Tobacco maker Reynolds American also did well, as investors responded favorably to the company's strategy to drive future growth.
Stock selection in the industrials and health care sectors detracted from the fund's otherwise strong return. Avis Budget Group was the fund's biggest disappointment in the industrials sector—the only major sector to finish the period with a negative return. A soft real estate market hurt building supply company USG, also in the industrials sector, and Pulte Homes—an exception to otherwise strong performance in the consumer discretionary sector. Pulte was sold before the end of the period. In the health care sector, shares of CIGNA, the giant health care services provider, took a sharp dive in the spring as investors expressed concerns about the company's high cost structure. The decline was a drag on the fund's overall health care results and the stock was sold.
Looking ahead
Over the past several months, large, stable growth companies have led the charge to new highs for the equity markets. However, we believe the portfolio is positioned to weather any short-term shift in investor sentiment with solid value holdings that offer long-term growth potential.

Portfolio Management
Vikram Kuriyan has managed or co-managed the fund since June 2005 and has been with the advisor or its predecessors or affiliate organizations since 2000.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds mutual funds and portfolios. Performance for different classes of shares will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. For standardized performance, please refer to the Performance Information page.
Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Investments in small- and mid-cap stocks may present special risks. They tend to be more volatile and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small-cap stocks often have narrower markets, limited financial resources and tend to be more thinly traded than stocks of larger companies.
Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. If the advisor's assessment of a company's prospects is wrong, the price of its stock may not approach the value the advisor has placed on it.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, Class A shares of Columbia Common Stock Fund returned 9.24% without sales charge. That was slightly lower than the 10.25% return of the Russell 1000 Index,1 and slightly higher than the average return of the Morningstar Large Blend Category, which was 9.14% during the same period.2 Stock selection within telecommunications and a below-index weight in energy detracted from performance while the brightest spots for the fund were within information technology and health care.
Technology and health care stocks shined
Early in the period, we emphasized semiconductor stocks in the technology sector. Our single-biggest success in this area arose when fund holding ATI Technologies was bought out at a premium by Advanced Micro Devices during the summer of 2006. Later in the period, we shifted the fund's emphasis from semiconductors to software, where the fund enjoyed gains from software giant Oracle, computer security software developer Symantec and the leader in computer networking equipment, Cisco Systems. Software stocks, many of which were sold off aggressively over the last 18 months, got a lift from strong business prospects and the anticipation of new products cycles. Cisco has taken steps to bolster its networking technologies via acquisitions and investments in television and cable video technologies, moves that appear to have been well received by investors.
Within health care, we concentrated on specialty pharmaceutical companies such as Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings and Forest Laboratories. Endo shares moved higher as the company raised its sales forecast for a newly-launched painkiller, while Forest Laboratories enjoyed a healthy run-up after the company successfully defended a patent challenge to one of its antidepressant drugs.
Contrarian approach netted mixed results
The fund's contrarian approach led us to own companies such as News, Omnicom Group and Comcast —old-line media companies that had been out of favor for a number of years but which rallied strongly during the period. By contrast, performance was constrained by our contrarian decision to underweight the energy sector, which continued to rally beyond our expectations throughout most of the period. Our stance was finally vindicated toward the end of the period, when oil stocks experienced a dramatic sell-off as the price of oil declined sharply.

A decision to underweight the telecommunications sector also hurt the fund during the period. The fund missed out on a substantial rally from former Bell companies SBC, BellSouth and Verizon. And the fund lost additional ground within telecommunications relative to the index because Sprint Nextel was its primary investment in the telecommunications arena. Sprint Nextel performed poorly when earnings fell below investor expectations for the newly merged entity.
Looking ahead
In the year ahead, we expect that high energy prices and relatively high short-term interest rates could create a difficult environment for corporate earnings. With that in mind, we have made earnings an important purchase criterion, focusing on companies in which our confidence in their ability to meet earnings expectations is high. This approach has led us to companies with higher market capitalizations than a contrarian fund might otherwise consider. We have also focused on software and health care companies because their fortunes are not directly tied to the economic cycle. While we still expect the economy to grow at a reasonable clip, we believe these companies offer a hedge against any disappointments in economic performance.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and T shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter) and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.
Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirement may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
On October 7, 2005, Columbia Small Cap Fund was renamed Columbia Small Cap Core Fund. Prior to November 18, 2002, the fund was named Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund, and offered Retail A, Retail B, Trust, Prime A and Prime B share classes. On that day, the fund changed its name to Liberty Small Cap Fund and began offering Class A, B, C, G, T and Z shares. The returns for Class A and B shares include returns of Prime A shares and Retail A shares (for Class A shares) and Prime B shares and Retail A shares (for Class B shares) of the former Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund for periods prior to the inception of Class A and Class B shares. Class C share performance information includes returns of Retail B shares and Retail A shares of the former Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund for periods prior to the inception of Class C shares. The returns for Class G and T shares include the returns of Retail A shares (for Class T shares) and Retail B shares ( for Class G shares) of the Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002. The returns shown for Class G shares also include the returns of Retail A shares (adjusted to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class G shares) for periods prior to the inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund (November 1, 1998). Retail A shares were initially offered on February 12, 1993. Class G shares generally would have had substantially similar returns because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although the returns would be lower to the extent that expenses for Class G shares exceed expenses paid by Retail A shares. The returns for Class Z shares include the returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund, for periods prior to November 18, 2002, and returns of Trust shares of the Small Cap portfolio of The Shawmut Funds, the predecessor to the Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund, for periods prior to December 4, 1995. Total returns are not restat ed to reflect any expense differential (e.g. Rule 12b-1 fees) between any of the share classes. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of Class A, B and C shares would have been lower.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Small Cap Core 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 Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm 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.
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your 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 $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other fund companies, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing cost of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees.
04/01/06 – 09/30/06
| | Account value at the beginning of the period ($) | | 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 | |
Class A | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 970.52 | | | | 1,019.15 | | | | 5.83 | | | | 5.97 | | | | 1.18 | | |

Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 967.01 | | | | 1,015.39 | | | | 9.52 | | | | 9.75 | | | | 1.93 | | |
Class G | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 967.21 | | | | 1,015.64 | | | | 9.27 | | | | 9.50 | | | | 1.88 | | |
Class T | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 970.72 | | | | 1,018.90 | | | | 6.08 | | | | 6.23 | | | | 1.23 | | |
Class Z | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 971.82 | | | | 1,020.41 | | | | 4.60 | | | | 4.71 | | | | 0.93 | | |
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 or reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Portfolio Managers' Report – Columbia Small Cap Core Fund
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, Class A shares of Columbia Small Cap Core Fund returned 10.08% without sales charge. The fund's benchmarks, the S&P SmallCap 600 Composite Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 7.16% and 9.92%, respectively, for the same period.1 The average return of the fund's peer group, the Morningstar Small Blend Category, was 7.62%.2
Industrials, materials and energy stocks helped boost return
In a relatively strong economic environment, stocks in the industrials and materials sectors were buoyed by robust earnings and positive forecasts for continued growth. The fund had more exposure than the Russell 2000 Index to both sectors, and they made the biggest contributions to performance. Among industrial companies, EMCOR Group, a mechanical and electrical construction services company, was the best performing stock in the portfolio. It was followed by Terex, a manufacturer of farm and construction machinery, and Armor Holdings, which supplies the armor plating for military vehicles, among other products. In the materials sector, specialty chemical companies H.B. Fuller and Albemarle aided results, as did Greif, a manufacturer of packaging and containers.
Energy stocks produced strong gains for the portfolio throughout the 12 months, as energy prices soared to historical highs. When the valuations of the fund's energy holdings rose to what we believed were unsustainable levels, we took profits in the sector, trimming the portfolio's allocation to an underweight position. The decision to pare back the fund's energy investments benefited the fund as energy prices declined in the final months of the period. However, we plan to raise the fund's energy allocation when valuations become more attractive. The best performing energy companies were Core Laboratories, an oil and gas equipment and service company, and Southwestern Energy, an oil and gas exploration company. Both companies were sold at a profit.
Merger and acquisition activity was a theme in the portfolio, and several holdings rose on announcements that they were likely to be acquired. An example is seed producer Delta & Pine Land Company which benefited when it was announced that the company would be acquired by Monsanto.
Investments in the technology and financials sectors disappointed
While individual investments in technology were generally positive, the fund's technology stock selection dampened relative performance. We tend to focus on

companies with relatively low valuations, which may have been overlooked by other investors and which are not as easily traded as larger companies. When technology stocks do reasonably well, as has been the case over the annual reporting period, these types of stocks tend to underperform the stocks of large, well-known technology companies. Although we tend to lag in a traditional technology rally, we have the potential to outperform when investors shift their focus to smaller technology companies with attractive valuations.
A significant underweight in the financials sector also held back results, primarily because we were early in cutting back the fund's position in real estate investment trusts (REITs), which continued to generate strong gains.
Small-cap stocks may face some head winds
As economic growth slowed, we trimmed some of the fund's profitable positions in cyclical sectors, such as industrials and materials, because we believed their earnings growth could weaken going forward. And, we've turned generally cautious in our outlook as large caps may have greater investor interest than small caps for the first time in years. Yet, we continued to find investment opportunities among small-cap stocks with attractive valuations and solid business prospects.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Equity Funds (September 30, 2006)
Note 1. Organization
The Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following diversified Funds (individually referred to as a "Fund", collectively referred to as the "Funds"):
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund
Columbia Common Stock Fund
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund
After the close of business on September 22, 2006, Columbia Tax-Managed Growth Fund and Columbia Growth Stock Fund, each a separate series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I, merged into Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund.
Investment Goals
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund seeks a high total return by providing both a current level of income that is greater than that provided by popular stock market averages, as well as long-term growth in the value of the Fund's assets. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund seek long-term capital appreciation. Columbia Disciplined Value Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, with income as a secondary goal. Columbia Common Stock Fund seeks to provide a relatively high total return through long-term capital appreciation and current income.
Fund Shares
The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares. Each Fund offers the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G, Class T and Class Z. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund also offers Class E and Class F shares. Each share class has its own sales charge and expense structure. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund's Class E and Class F shares and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund are closed to new investors and new accounts.
Class A, Class E and Class T shares are subject to a front-end sales charge based on the amount of initial investment.
Class A and Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating up to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if the shares are sold within twelve months of the time of the purchase. Class E shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $500,000 to $5 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if the shares are sold within eighteen months of the time of the purchase. Class B, Class F and Class G shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchased. Class F shares will convert to Class E shares and Class G shares will convert to Class T shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class Z shares are offered c ontinuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Z shares, as described in each Fund's prospectus.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation
Equity securities and securities of certain investment companies are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of
106
Columbia Equity Funds (September 30, 2006)
similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.
Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies.
Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.
Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Funds' shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Funds' net asset value. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. If a security is valued at a "fair value", such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
In September, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157") was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has recently begun to evaluate the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on each Fund's financial statement disclosures.
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.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date at a specified price. These contracts are used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between trade and settlement date of the contracts. Certain Funds may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with the settlement of purchases and sales of securities. Certain Funds may also enter into these contracts to hedge certain other foreign currency denominated assets. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the Funds' investments against currency fluctuations. Forward currency contracts are valued daily at the current exchange rate of the underlying currency, resulting in unrealized gains (losses)
107
Columbia Equity Funds (September 30, 2006)
which become realized at the time the foreign currency contracts are closed or mature. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions. The use of forward currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Funds' portfolio securities. While the maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened, exposure is typically limited to the change in value of the contract (in U.S. dollars) over the period it remains open. The Funds could also be exposed to risk if the counterparties of the contracts are unable to fulfill the terms of the contracts.
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically for inflation based on a monthly published index. Interest payments are based on the inflation-adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Funds' investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon each 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 Funds seek to assert their rights.
Delayed Delivery Securities
Certain Funds may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a "when-issued" basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Funds to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. Each Fund identifies cash or liquid portfolio securities as segregated with the custodian in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Futures Contracts
Certain Funds may invest in futures contracts to hedge against the effects of changes in the value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and/or market conditions, for duration management, or when the transactions are economically appropriate to the reduction of risk inherent in the management of the Funds and not for trading purposes. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Lia bilities at any given time.
Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date, except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after ex-date as the Funds become aware of such, net of non-reclaimable tax withholdings. Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Funds still own the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
The Funds estimate components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments and/or realized gain, as applicable. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
108
Columbia Equity Funds (September 30, 2006)
Foreign Currency Transactions
The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Funds do not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments.
Determination of Class Net Asset Values
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, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, 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 or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign Capital Gains Taxes
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Funds accrue for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for Columbia Asset Allocation Fund, Columbia Disciplined Value Fund and Columbia Common Stock Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually for Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually for all Funds.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and Officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.
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 Funds' capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended September 30, 2006, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for amortization/accretion adjustments, foreign currency transactions, redemption based payments treated as dividends received deduction, foreign capital gains tax,
109
Columbia Equity Funds (September 30, 2006)
paydown reclassifications, net operating loss reclassifications, REIT adjustments, market discount reclassifications, permanently lost capital loss carryforward and distributions were identified and reclassified among the components of the Funds' net assets as follows:
| | Undistributed / (Overdistributed) or (Accumulated) Net Investment Income (Loss) | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain/Loss | | Paid-In Capital | |
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund | | $ | 425,242 | | | $ | (2,562,324 | ) | | $ | 2,137,082 | | |

Columbia Small Cap Core Fund | | | 2,648,689 | | | | (17,842,529 | ) | | | 15,193,840 | | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statements of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-term Capital Gains | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | |
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund | | $ | 4,162,291 | | | $ | 17,877,753 | | | $ | 30,361,372 | | |

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the "Interpretation"). This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to open tax positions upon initial adoption. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also requires certain expanded disclosures. Management has recently begun to evaluate the application of this Interpretation to the Funds and has not at this time quantified the impact, if any, resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on each Fund's financial statements.

Note 10. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies
Foreign Securities
There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign securities that are not inherent with investments in domestic securities. These risks may involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments and the possible prevention of currency exchange or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the liquidity of foreign securities may be more limited than that of domestic securities.
Investments in emerging market countries are subject to additional risk. The risk of foreign investments is typically increased in less developed countries. These countries are also more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation which could hurt their economies and securities markets.
High-Yield Securities
Investing in high-yield securities may involve greater credit risk and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. government bonds and other higher quality fixed income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as "junk" bonds. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high-yield securities may be less liquid to the extent that there is no established secondary market.
Industry Focus
The Funds may focus their investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is more diversified.
Legal Proceedings
On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) ("Columbia") and Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (which has been renamed Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (the "Distributor") (collectively, the "Columbia Group") entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (the "SEC Order"). The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the "Settlements". The Settlements contain substantially the same terms and conditions as outlined in the agreements in principle which Columbia Group entered into with the SEC and NYAG in March 2004.
Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group agreed among other things, to: pay $70 million in disgorgement and $70 million in civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group's applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures; and retain an independent
117
Columbia Equity Funds (September 30, 2006)
distribution consultant (see below). The Columbia Funds have also voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees. The NYAG Settlement also, among other things, requires Columbia and its affiliates, to reduce management fees for certain Columbia Funds (including the former Nations Funds) and other mutual funds collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.
Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC order, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC. The independent distribution consultant has been in consultation with the staff of the SEC and has submitted a proposed plan of distribution. The SEC has released the proposed plan of distribution for public notice and comment but not yet approved a final plan of distribution.
As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds.
A copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005. In connection with the events described in detail above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its affiliated entities and/or Bank of America and its affiliated entities.
On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the "MDL"). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia, the Distributor, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws a nd state common law.
On February 25, 2005, Columbia and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims in the pending cases. On March 1, 2006, for reasons stated in the court's memoranda dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all of the class action claims pending against the Columbia Funds Trusts and the Columbia Acorn Trusts. As to Columbia, and the Distributor, the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, the claims under Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("ICA") and the state law claims were dismissed. The claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims under Section 36(b) of the ICA were not dismissed.
On March 21, 2005, a purported class action was filed in Massachusetts state court alleging that the conduct, including market timing, entitles Class B shareholders in certain Columbia funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption ("the CDSC Lawsuit"). The CDSC Lawsuit has been removed to federal court in Massachusetts and the federal Judicial Panel has transferred the CDSC Lawsuit to the MDL.
On April 4, 2006, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a term sheet containing the principal terms of a stipulation of settlement that would settle all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. On April 6, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland stayed all actions with respect to these Columbia-related claims.
The MDL is ongoing. Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any fund, if any, cannot currently be made.
In 2004, certain Columbia funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, advisers and affiliated entities were named as defendants in certain purported shareholder class and
118
Columbia Equity Funds (September 30, 2006)
derivative actions making claims, including claims under the Investment Company and the Investment Advisers Acts of 1940 and state law. The suits allege, inter alia, that the fees and expenses paid by the funds are excessive and that the advisers and their affiliates inappropriately used fund assets to distribute the funds and for other improper purposes. On March 2, 2005, the actions were consolidated in the Massachusetts federal court as In re Columbia Entities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on June 9, 2005 naming the Columbia Funds as nominal defendants. On November 30, 2005, the judge dismissed all claims by plaintiffs and ordered that the case be closed. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fi rst Circuit on December 30, 2005; this appeal is currently pending. The parties have advised the appellate court that they are engaged in settlement discussions and the court has, accordingly, deferred the briefing schedule for the appeal. The settlement has not yet been finalized. Any settlement ultimately agreed by the parties will be subject to court approval.
This matter is ongoing. Accordingly, no estimate can be made of the financial impact, if any, of this litigation on any fund.
For the year ended September 30, 2006, Columbia has assumed legal, consulting services and Trustees' fees incurred by the Fund in connection with these matters.

To the Board of Trustees and the Shareholders of Columbia Funds Series Trust I
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 position of Columbia Asset Allocation Fund, Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Disciplined Value Fund, Columbia Common Stock Fund and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund (constituting part of Columbia Funds Series Trust I, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") at September 30, 2006, 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 three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlight s (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 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 September 30, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The financial highlights of the funds as of September 30, 2003 and for fiscal periods ending on or prior to September 30, 2003 were audited by other independent accountants, whose report dated November 14, 2003 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and highlights.

President’s Message
September 30, 2006

Dear Shareholder,
Over the past few years, you’ve heard a lot about change here at Columbia Funds as we’ve streamlined our fund offerings, reduced our expenses and enhanced the different ways that you can do business with us. Our goal in all these matters has been to make investing easier and more convenient — and to ensure that you find the range of financial choices and services that you expect from one of the nation’s leading financial companies.
As 78 million baby boomers move closer to retirement, we are also mindful that retirement is the single most important financial goal for many Americans. To that end we have committed considerable resources to ensure that you can find a wide range of choices at Columbia Funds, whether you are just beginning to invest for retirement or preparing to turn your retirement savings into income. If you haven’t done so already, we suggest that you work closely with your financial adviser to draw up a personal investment plan that is based on what you’ll require for your future. We continue to look for new ways to help meet the unique needs of all our investors — especially those who are approaching retirement.
Change is a constant in our lives, but one thing that does not change is our commitment to continue to improve your investment and service experiences. At Columbia Funds, we understand that you have a choice of financial providers and we want you to remain satisfied with your decision to invest with us — now and in the years to come.
As you read the following message from the manager or managers of your Columbia funds, keep in mind that investing is often a long-term undertaking. While it’s important to review the performance and market environment of the most recent period, it’s essential to evaluate this information with your goal, time horizon and risk tolerance in mind.
Sincerely,

Christopher L. Wilson
President, Columbia Funds
Economic Update – Columbia Dividend Income Fund
The US economy grew at a solid but uneven pace during the 12-month period that began October 1, 2005 and ended September 30, 2006. Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at an estimated annualized rate of approximately 3.5% as job growth provided support for consumer spending and rising profits freed up cash for business spending. Personal income also rose.
Yet these overall measures masked a host of challenges, which led to considerable volatility during the 12-month period. Early in the period, the economy reeled from the effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which devastated the Gulf Coast late last summer. The twin storms disrupted the flow of energy products and left millions of Americans without homes or jobs. Consumer confidence plummeted in the wake of the storms. The impact on the labor market was actually less than anticipated. However, economic growth fell to a mere 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The economy regained considerable momentum early in 2006. GDP growth rebounded to 5.6%, job growth resumed at a healthy pace and consumer confidence rebounded. Yet, the once strong housing market showed signs of serious slowing as the year wore on. Inflation edged higher as record-high energy prices took a bigger bite out of household budgets and the overall pace of economic growth slowed in the second half of the period. After 17 consecutive short-term interest rate hikes, the Federal Reserve Board Open Market Committee (the Fed) took no action in its August and September meetings,(1) a potential indication that it may feel comfortable, at least for now, that inflation is under control. The federal funds rate, a key short-term lending rate, ended the period at 5.25%.
Stocks moved higher
Despite bouts of volatility, the S&P 500 Index — a broad measure of large company stock performance — returned 10.79% for this reporting period, gaining considerable ground in September. Large-, mid- and small-cap stocks generated similar returns as measured by their respective Russell indices. However, large-caps took the lead in the final months of the period and edged out both mid- and small-caps by a small margin. The Russell 1000 Index returned 10.25%, the Russell Midcap Index returned 9.57% and the Russell 2000 Index returned 9.92%.(2) Foreign stock markets generally did better than the US market. The MSCI EAFE Index, which tracks stock market performance in industrialized countries outside the United States and Canada, returned 19.16%. Japanese stocks, which accounted for a substantial percentage of the foreign index, contributed to the index’s strong gains but gave back some returns as they reversed course in the final months of the period.
Bonds bounced back
The US bond market delivered modest but positive returns, as interest rates spiked higher, then edged lower in the last three months of the period. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note, a bellwether for the bond market, ended the period at 4.64% — just slightly higher than where it started. In this environment, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.67% for the 12-month period. High-yield bonds led the fixed income markets, reflecting investor confidence about the overall resilience of the economy. The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index returned 7.90%.
(1) The Fed took no action on the federal funds rate when it met in October, 2006.
(2) The Russell 1000 Index tracks the performance of 1000 of the largest US companies, based on market capitalization. The Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, as ranked by total market capitalization. The Russell 2000 Index tracks the performance of the 2,000 smallest of the 3,000 largest US companies based on market capitalization. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Summary
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006
· Despite bouts of volatility, the broad stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 10.79%. Foreign stocks did better than domestic stocks, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index.

The “with sales charge” returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and T shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter) for Class B and G shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The “without sales charge” returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.
Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirement may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund Shares.
Class A, Class B and Class C are newer classes of shares. Their performance information includes returns of the fund’s Class T shares (for Class A) and Class G shares (for Class B and Class C) for periods prior to their inception. The returns shown for Class T and G shares include the returns of Retail A shares (for Class T) and Retail B shares (for Class G) of the Galaxy Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class G and T shares were initially offered by the Fund and the date the Galaxy Fund merged into the existing fund. Class A, B, and C shares were initially offered on November 25, 2002. The returns have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses between the predecessor shares and the newer classes of shares. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer classes of shares would have been lower. Retail A shares and Retail B shares of the Galaxy Fund were initially offered on March 4, 1998. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund. Trust shares were initially offered by the Galaxy Fund on March 4, 1998.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Dividend Income 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:
· For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
· For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm 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.
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory, 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 reporting 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 reporting 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 cost 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees.

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 its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

We would like to extend a welcome to shareholders of Columbia Utilities Fund, which merged into Columbia Dividend Income Fund on September 22, 2006. For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, Class A shares of Columbia Dividend Income Fund returned 14.45% without sales charge. The fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 14.62% for the same period.(1) The average return of its peer group, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Category, was 11.74%.(2) The fund’s dividend payment also increased during the period. The fund’s Class A shares paid a dividend of $0.27 for the 12-month period.
The fund’s emphasis on stocks with the potential to sustain growth during periods of economic uncertainty was a boom to performance during the period, as investors began to reward higher quality, blue chip companies.
Dividends aided performance
The fund remains focused on companies that generate substantial cash from operations, which has the potential to lead to share appreciation and increased dividend distributions over time. We select holdings for the fund from among the dividend-paying constituents of the Russell 1000 Index and among foreign companies with American Depository Receipts (ADRs). During the past 12 months, dividend-paying stocks performed well and the fund participated in this trend.
Telephone and health care stocks boosted returns
Fund holdings in telecommunications, consumer staples and health care aided returns, as these sectors turned in market-beating performances. A year ago, we shifted to emphasize these areas because we thought they were attractively valued and because we thought they had the potential to do well in an environment of slower economic growth. In the telecommunications sector, top performers included BellSouth Corp., AT&T, Inc. and Verizon Communications, Inc. Other standout performers for the fund were Merck & Co., Inc., Reynolds American, Inc., Deere & Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. An earlier decision to reduce the fund’s energy holdings to a small position relative to its benchmark also proved beneficial as the energy sector underperformed.
While the fund’s sector positioning relative to the index was generally positive for performance, the decision to maintain a relatively smaller than index position in materials hurt the fund’s return as the group generated strong performance. A few individual holdings in other sectors also performed poorly and detracted from returns during the period. These included Intel Corp. and XL Capital Ltd.
(1) The Russell 1000 Value Index tracks the performance of those companies in the Russell 1000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
(2) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

Looking ahead
The US economy remains resilient despite the dampening effects of the Federal Reserve Board’s 17 short-term interest rate increases over the past two years and an end to the residential real estate boom in many parts of the country. In light of our expectation that the economy will continue to slow over the next six months, we plan to continue to emphasize attractively valued, well-financed companies that we believe can sustain their growth in such an environment. And, because we believe that investors are not being adequately compensated for taking risk, we plan to seek firms with good balance sheets, strong cash flow and a demonstrated potential to increase their dividends. Dividend payments have risen at a rate of 11% per year since 2002, while earnings grew at 21% per year over the same period. As a result, the payout ratio of dividends-to-corporate earnings hit a historical low of 30.2% compared to its long-term average, which is above 50%. Against the backdrop of strong corporate profit growth, we believe that there is ample room for dividend increases ahead.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds mutual funds and portfolios. Performance for different classes of shares will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Dividend payments are not guaranteed, and are paid only when declared by an issuer’s Board of Trustees. The amount of a dividend payment, if any, can vary over time.
Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. If the advisor’s assessment of a company’s prospects is wrong, the price of its stock may not approach the value the advisor has placed on it.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Dividend Income Fund (September 30, 2006)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
After the close of business on September 22, 2006, Columbia Utilities Fund, a separate series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I, merged into the Fund.
Investment Goals
The Fund seeks current income and capital appreciation.
Fund Shares
The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares and offers six classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G, Class T and Class Z. Each share class has its own sales charge and expense structure.
Class A and Class T shares are subject to a front-end sales charge based on the amount of initial investment. Class A and Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating up to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if the shares are sold within twelve months of the time of the purchase. Class B and Class G shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares in a certain number of years after purchase, depending on the program under which the shares are purchased. Class G shares will convert to Class T shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Z shares, as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at a “fair value”, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.
In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has recently begun to evaluate the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
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 the Fund’s investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is
25
responsible for determining that collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon 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. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date. Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
The Fund estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
Determination of Class Net Asset Values
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, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its 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 or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Fund’s organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and Officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Fund’s expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.
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 carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended September 30, 2006, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for REIT dividends and capital loss carryforwards were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund’s net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Loss | | Paid-In Capital | |
$(9,321) | | $ | (118,251,470 | ) | $ | 118,260,791 | |
| | | | | | | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:
| | September 30, 2006 | | September 30, 2005 | |
Distributions paid from: | | | | | |
Ordinary Income* | | $ | 12,716,008 | | $ | 7,418,637 | |
| | | | | | | |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
26
As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-term Capital Gains | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | |
$ 89,551 | | $ | 9,382,233 | | $ | 132,331,630 | |
| | | | | | | |
* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales, capital loss carryforwards and non-deductible deferred trustee fees.
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at September 30, 2006, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 138,534,627 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | (6,202,997 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 132,331,630 | |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined as of September 30, 2006, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
Year of Expiration | | Capital Loss Carryforward | |
2008 | | $ | 2,532,220 | |
2009 | | 96,865,401 | |
2010 | | 17,403,024 | |
2011 | | 4,211,493 | |
2013 | | 990,327 | |
2014 | | 2,808,003 | |
Total | | $ | 124,810,468 | |
Of the capital loss carryforwards attributable to the Fund, $2,945,383 (expiring September 30, 2011,) remain from the Columbia Dividend Income Fund merger with Galaxy Equity Income Fund. Total capital loss carryforwards acquired from the Galaxy Equity Income Fund were $22,957,800 of which $20,012,417 was utilized to offset current year gains. The availability of a portion of the remaining capital loss carryforward from the Galaxy Equity Income Fund may be limited in a given year.
Of the capital loss carryforwards attributable to the Fund, $121,865,085 ($2,532,220 expiring September 30, 2008, $96,865,401 expiring September 30, 2009, $17,403,024 expiring September 30, 2010, $1,266,110 expiring September 30, 2011, $990,327 expiring September 30, 2013, $2,808,003 expiring September 30, 2014) remain from the Columbia Dividend Income Fund merger with the Columbia Utilities Fund. The total capital loss carryforwards acquired in the current year from the Columbia Utilities Fund were $243,607,053 of which $121,301,784 was permanently lost and $440,184 was utilized to offset current year gains. The availability of a portion of the remaining capital loss carryforward from the Columbia Utilities Fund may be limited in a given year.
Capital loss carryforwards of $22,602,128 were utilized during the year ended September 30, 2006.
Any capital loss carryforwards acquired as part of a merger that are permanently lost due to provisions under the Internal Revenue Code are included as being expired. Expired capital loss carryforwards are recorded as a reduction of paid in capital.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the “Interpretation”). This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to open tax positions upon initial adoption. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also requires certain expanded disclosures. Management has recently begun to evaluate the application of this Interpretation to the Fund and has not at this time quantified the impact, if any, resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on the Fund’s financial statements.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Advisory Fee
Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“BOA”), is the investment advisor to the Fund. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
27
Average Daily Net Assets | | Annual Fee Rate | |
First $500 million | | 0.70 | % |
$500 million to $1 billion | | 0.65 | % |
$1 billion to $1.5 billion | | 0.60 | % |
$1.5 billion to $3 billion | | 0.55 | % |
$3 billion to $6 billion | | 0.53 | % |
Over $6 billion | | 0.51 | % |
For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund’s effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
Columbia provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee at the annual rate of 0.067% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
Columbia is responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Fund under a pricing and bookkeeping agreement. Under a separate agreement (the “Outsourcing Agreement”), Columbia has delegated those functions to State Street Corporation (“State Street”). As a result, the total fees payable under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement are paid to State Street.
Under its pricing and bookkeeping agreement with the Fund, Columbia receives an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on the level of average daily net assets for the month; provided that during any 12-month period, the aggregate fee (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges) shall not exceed $140,000.
Prior to November 1, 2005, Columbia received an annual fee based on the average daily net assets of the Fund and an additional annual fee of $10,000 due to the Fund’s multiple class structure. The annual pricing and bookkeeping rates were as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | | Annual Fee Rate | |
Under $50 million | | $ | 25,000 | |
Over $50 million but less than $200 million | | $ | 35,000 | |
Over $200 million but less than $500 million | | $ | 50,000 | |
Over $500 million but less than $1 billion | | $ | 85,000 | |
Over $1 billion | | $ | 125,000 | |
The Fund also reimburses Columbia and State Street for out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third parties for pricing the Fund’s portfolio securities and direct internal costs incurred by Columbia in connection with providing fund accounting oversight and monitoring and certain other services. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the effective pricing and bookkeeping fee rate for the Fund, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, was 0.024% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Transfer Agent Fee
Columbia Management Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, provides shareholder services to the Fund and has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent is entitled to receive a fee for its services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.00 per open account plus sub-transfer agent fees (exclusive of BFDS fees) calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to third parties for services to those accounts. The annual rate was $15.23 prior to April 1, 2006. The Transfer Agent may also retain, as additional compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, IRA trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Fund and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Prior to November 1, 2005, the Transfer Agent received a fee, paid monthly at the annual rate of $28.00 per open account and was reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
The Transfer Agent voluntarily waived $12,872 of its fees for the period October 1, 2005 through October 31, 2005 for the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the effective transfer agent fee rate, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and net of fee waivers for the Fund was 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees
Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a subsidiary of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund.
28
For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $37,054 and $1,656 on sales of the Fund’s Class A and Class T shares, respectively. For the same period, the Distributor received net CDSC fees of $45,957, $1,875 and $3,746 on Class B, Class C and Class G share redemptions, respectively.
The Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan (the “Plan”), which allows the payment of a monthly distribution and service fee to the Distributor at an annual fee rate as follows:
Distribution Fee | | Service Fee | |
Class B | | Class C | | Class G | | Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | Class G | |
0.75 | % | 0.75 | % | 0.65 | % | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | 0.50 | % |
The Fund does not intend to pay total distribution and service fees in excess of 0.95% annually for Class G shares of the Fund. Of the 0.50% service fee for Class G shares, 0.25% relates to shareholder liaison services and 0.25% relates to administration support services.
The CDSC and the distribution fees received from the Plan are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.
Shareholder Services Fees
The Fund has adopted a shareholder services plan that permits it to pay for certain services provided to Class T and Class Z shareholders by their financial advisor. Currently, the service plan has not been implemented with respect to the Fund’s Class Z shares. The annual service fee may equal up to 0.50% for Class T shares. The Fund does not intend to pay more than 0.30% annually for Class T shareholder services fees.
Expense Limits and Fee Waivers
Columbia has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund through January 31, 2008, for certain expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, if any) exceed the annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Custody Credits
The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as a reduction of total expenses in 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.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Fund, with the exception of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund’s expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.
The Fund’s Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets.
Other
Columbia provides certain services to the Fund related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund paid $2,653 to Columbia for such services. This amount is included in “Other expenses” in the Statement of Operations.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
For the year ended September 30, 2006, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $344,608,057 and $288,573,500, respectively.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed unsecured revolving line of credit provided by State Street Bank and Trust Company. Borrowings are used for temporary or emergency purposes to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their pro-rata portion of the unutilized line of credit. The commitment fee is included in “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
29
Note 7. Shares of Beneficial Interest
As of September 30, 2006, one shareholder held 41.4% of the shares outstanding. The shares were beneficially owned by participant accounts over which Bank of America and/or its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion. Subscription and redemption activity of this account may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Securities Lending
The Fund commenced a securities lending program in August, 2006 and may lend its securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Each loan is collateralized by cash, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The collateral received is invested and the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent, is paid to the Fund. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Fund. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.
Note 9. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) (“Columbia”) and Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (which has been renamed Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”)) (collectively, the “Columbia Group”) entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (the “SEC Order”). The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the “Settlements”. The Settlements contain substantially the same terms and conditions as outlined in the agreements in principle which Columbia Group entered into with the SEC and NYAG in March 2004.
Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group has agreed among other things, to: pay $70 million in disgorgement and $70 million in civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group’s applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures; and retain an independent distribution consultant (see below). The Columbia Funds have also voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees. The NYAG Settlement also, among other things, requires Columbia and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain Columbia Funds (including the former Nations Funds) and other mutual funds collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.
Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC order, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC. The independent distribution consultant has been in consultation with the staff of the SEC and has submitted a proposed plan of distribution. The SEC has released the proposed plan of distribution for public notice and comment but has not yet approved a final plan of distribution.
As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds.
A copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005.
In connection with the events described in detail above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its affiliated entities and/or Bank of America and its affiliated entities.
On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to
30
the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia, the Distributor, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law.
On February 25, 2005, Columbia and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims in the pending cases. On March 1, 2006, for reasons stated in the court’s memoranda dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all of the class action claims pending against the Columbia Funds Trusts and the Columbia Acorn Trust. As to Columbia, and the Distributor, the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, the claims under Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“ICA”) and the state law claims were dismissed. The claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims under Section 36(b) of the ICA were not dismissed.
On March 21, 2005, purported class action plaintiffs filed suit in Massachusetts state court alleging that the conduct, including market timing, entitles Class B shareholders in certain Columbia Funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption (“the CDSC Lawsuit”). The CDSC Lawsuit has been removed to federal court in Massachusetts and the federal Judicial Panel has transferred the CDSC Lawsuit to the MDL.
On April 4, 2006, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a term sheet containing the principal terms of a stipulation of settlement that would settle all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. On April 6, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland stayed all actions with respect to these Columbia-related claims.
The MDL is ongoing. Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of the litigation on any fund, if any, cannot currently be made.
In 2004, certain Columbia Funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, advisers and affiliated entities were named as defendants in certain purported shareholder class and derivative actions making claims, including claims under the Investment Company and the Investment Advisers Acts of 1940 and state law. The suits allege, inter alia, that the fees and expenses paid by the funds are excessive and that the advisers and their affiliates inappropriately used fund assets to distribute the funds and for other improper purposes. On March 2, 2005, the actions were consolidated in the Massachusetts federal court as In re Columbia Entities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on June 9, 2005 naming the Columbia Funds as nominal defendants. On November 30, 2005, the judge dismissed all claims by plaintiffs and ordered that the case be closed. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005; this appeal is currently pending. The parties have advised the appellate court that they are engaged in settlement discussions and the court has, accordingly, deferred the briefing schedule for the appeal. The settlement has not yet been finalized. Any settlement ultimately agreed by the parties will be subject to court approval.
This matter is ongoing. Accordingly, no estimate can be made of the financial impact, if any, of this litigation on any fund.
For the year ended September 30, 2006, Columbia has assumed $4,969 of legal, consulting services and Trustees’ fees incurred by the Fund in connection with these matters.
Note 10. Business Combinations & Mergers
On September 22, 2006, Columbia Utilities Fund merged into Columbia Dividend Income Fund. Columbia Dividend Income Fund received a tax-free transfer of assets from Columbia Utilities Fund as follows:
Shares Issued | | Net Assets Received | | Unrealized Appreciation(1) | |
29,014,388 | | $ | 384,977,899 | | $ | 47,796,171 | |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Columbia Dividend Income Fund
To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Dividend Income Fund
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 Columbia Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”) (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at September 30, 2006, 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 three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The financial highlights of the Fund for fiscal periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2003 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated November 14, 2003 expressed an unqualified opinion on those highlights.

President’s Message
September 30, 2006

Dear Shareholder,
Over the past few years, you’ve heard a lot about change here at Columbia Funds as we’ve streamlined our fund offerings, reduced our expenses and enhanced the different ways that you can do business with us. Our goal in all these matters has been to make investing easier and more convenient — and to ensure that you find the range of financial choices and services that you expect from one of the nation’s leading financial companies.
As 78 million baby boomers move closer to retirement, we are also mindful that retirement is the single most important financial goal for many Americans. To that end we have committed considerable resources to ensure that you can find a wide range of choices at Columbia Funds, whether you are just beginning to invest for retirement or preparing to turn your retirement savings into income. If you haven’t done so already, we suggest that you work closely with your financial adviser to draw up a personal investment plan that is based on what you’ll require for your future. We continue to look for new ways to help meet the unique needs of all our investors — especially those who are approaching retirement.
Change is a constant in our lives, but one thing that does not change is our commitment to continue to improve your investment and service experiences. At Columbia Management, we understand that you have a choice of financial providers and we want you to remain satisfied with your decision to invest with us — now and in the years to come.
As you read the following message from the manager or managers of your Columbia funds, keep in mind that investing is often a long-term undertaking. While it’s important to review the performance and market environment of the most recent period, it’s essential to evaluate this information with your goal, time horizon and risk tolerance in mind.
Sincerely, |
|

Christopher L. Wilson |
President, Columbia Funds |
Economic Update – Columbia Liberty Fund
The US economy grew at a solid but uneven pace during the 12-month period that began October 1, 2005 and ended September 30, 2006. Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at an estimated annualized rate of approximately 3.5% as job growth provided support for consumer spending and rising profits freed up cash for business spending. Personal income also rose.
Yet, these overall measures masked a host of challenges, which led to considerable volatility during the 12-month period. Early in the period, the economy reeled from the effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which devastated the Gulf Coast late last summer. The twin storms disrupted the flow of energy products and left millions of Americans without homes or jobs. Consumer confidence plummeted in the wake of the storms. The impact on the labor market was actually less than anticipated. However, economic growth fell to a mere 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The economy regained considerable momentum early in 2006. GDP growth rebounded to 5.6%. Job growth resumed at a healthy pace, and consumer confidence rebounded. Yet, the once strong housing market showed signs of serious slowing. Inflation edged higher as record-high energy prices took a bigger bite out of household budgets and the overall pace of economic growth slowed. After 17 consecutive short-term interest rate hikes, the Fed took no action in its August and September meetings, a potential indication that it feels comfortable, at least for now, that inflation is under control. The federal funds rate, a key short-term lending rate, ended the period at 5.25%.
Stocks moved higher
Despite bouts of volatility, the S&P 500 Index—a broad measure of large company stock market performance—returned 10.79% for this reporting period, gaining considerable ground in the last month of the period. Large-, mid- and small-cap stocks generated similar returns as measured by their respective Russell indices. However, large-caps took the lead in the final months of the period and edged out both mid- and small-caps by a small margin. The Russell 1000 Index returned 10.25%, the Russell Midcap Index returned 9.57% and the Russell 2000 Index returned 9.92%.(1) Foreign stock markets generally did better than the US market. The MSCI EAFE Index, which tracks stock market performance in industrialized countries outside the United States and Canada returned 19.16%. Japanese stocks, which account for a substantial percentage of the foreign index, contributed to the index’s strong gains but gave back some returns as they reversed course in the final months of the period.
Bonds bounced back
The US bond market delivered modest but positive returns, as interest rates spiked higher, then edged lower in the last three months of the period. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note, a bellwether for the bond market, ended the period at 4.64%—just slightly higher than where it started. In this environment, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.67% for the 12-month period. High-yield bonds led the fixed income markets, reflecting investor confidence about the overall resilience of the economy. The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index returned 7.90%.
(1) The Russell 1000 Index tracks the performance of 1000 of the largest US companies, based on market capitalization. The Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, as ranked by total market capitalization. The Russell 2000 Index tracks the performance of the 2,000 smallest of the 3,000 largest US companies based on market capitalization. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Summary
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006
· Despite bouts of volatility, the broad stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 10.79%. Foreign stocks did better than domestic stocks, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index.

Growth of a $10,000 investment 10/01/96 – 09/30/06

The chart above shows the growth in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares of Columbia Liberty Fund during the stated time period, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted index that tracks the daily price, coupon, pay-downs, and total return performance of fixed-rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated, and non-convertible investment grade debt issues with at least $250 million par amount outstanding and with at least one year to final maturity. The S&P 500 Index tracks the performance of 500 widely held, large-capitalization US stocks. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed.

The “with sales charge” returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter) for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The “without sales charge” returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.
Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirement may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
Class C is a newer class of shares. Its performance information includes returns of the fund’s Class B shares for periods prior to the inception of Class C shares. Class B shares would have substantially similar annual returns because Class B and Class C shares generally have similar expense structures. Class A shares were initially offered on April 30, 1982, Class B shares were initially offered on May 5, 1992, Class C shares were initially offered on August 1, 1997 and Class Z shares were initially offered on July 31, 1995.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Liberty Fund
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory, 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 cost 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 reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting 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 reporting 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 cost 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 cost of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees.
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:
· For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
· For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm 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.

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 its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

“We plan to stay active in managing both interest-rate sensitivity and sector exposure.”
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, Columbia Liberty Fund Class A shares returned 7.47% without sales charge. The fund’s return fell between the returns of its two benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 10.79% and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 3.67%.(1) The fund invests in a mix of high quality stocks and investment-grade bonds. The fund’s return was slightly lower than the 7.58% average return of its peer group, the Morningstar Moderate Allocation Category.(2)
During the period we reduced the fund’s equity exposure from approximately 63.7% to 62% and added modestly to the fund’s positions in investment grade bonds and cash equivalents. This slight underweight in equities detracted from performance during the period, because equities outperformed fixed income by a significant margin. However, we believe the fund is prudently allocated to accommodate a period of slower growth going forward.
Emphasis on large cap stocks aided performance
Within the equity portion of the portfolio, the fund emphasized large cap stocks over small cap stocks. This turned out to be a good tactical decision since large-caps outperformed small-caps as economic growth slowed during the period. Historically, investors have leaned toward large caps when growth slows because they tend to be more resilient than smaller companies in a challenging environment. A position in international stocks also aided performance with double-digit gains for the period.
Both growth and value stocks made a positive contribution to the fund’s return. However, the fund’s allocation to value stocks underperformed its benchmark while the fund’s allocation to growth stocks outperformed its benchmark.
Fixed income allocation produced mixed results
The fixed income markets trailed the equity markets during the reporting period as rising interest rates put a damper on returns. As a result, the fund’s slight overweight in fixed income detracted from its return. Approximately 42% of the fund’s assets were committed to fixed income compared to a neutral allocation of 40%. In addition, the fund’s fixed income return was slightly lower than its benchmark.
Looking ahead
We expect the US economy to expand at relatively modest pace through the end of the year and into 2007. With energy costs and long-term interest rates edging lower, inflation is likely to remain benign, which should keep the Federal Reserve Board on the sidelines, holding short-term interest rates steady. The housing market is soft and

personal consumption growth is likely to slow. However, these could be offset somewhat by gains in capital spending. In this environment, we plan to stay active in managing both interest-rate sensitivity and sector exposure. We believe the fund is appropriately positioned for an environment of slower economic growth and potentially steady to declining interest rates.
Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yield and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.
International investing may involve certain risks, including, but not limited to, foreign taxation, currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial markets and other monetary and political risks.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Liberty Fund (September 30, 2006)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Liberty Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
Investment Goals
The Fund seeks primarily income and capital growth. The Fund’s secondary goal is capital preservation.
Fund Shares
The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares and offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z. Each share class has its own sales charge and expense structure.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating up to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if the shares are sold within twelve months of the time of the purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares in a certain number of years after purchase, depending on the program under which the shares are purchased. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Z shares, as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.
Equity securities and exchange traded funds are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.
Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the
30
Fund’s shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. If a security is valued at a “fair value”, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has recently begun to evaluate the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
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.
Futures Contracts
The Fund may invest in municipal and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. The Fund will invest in these instruments to hedge against the effects of changes in the value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and/or market conditions, for duration management, or when the transactions are economically appropriate to the reduction of risk inherent in the management of the Fund and not for trading purposes. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.
The Fund may enter into stock index futures contracts, debt index futures contracts, or other index futures contracts. An index futures contract is a contract to buy or sell units of an index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made. There are several risks in connection with the use of index futures as a hedging device. One risk arises because of the imperfect correlation between movements in the prices of the index futures and movements in the prices of securities which are the subject of the hedge. The investment advisor will attempt to reduce this risk by selling, to the extent possible, futures on indices the movements of which will, in its judgment, have a significant correlation with movements in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities sought to be hedged. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund also identifies portfolio securities as segregated with the custodian in a separate account in an amount equal to the futures contract. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.
31
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund’s investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon 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. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date, except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after ex-date as the Fund becomes aware of such, net of non-reclaimable tax withholdings.
The Fund estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments.
Determination of Class Net Asset Values
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, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its 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 or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Fund’s organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and Officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.
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
32
differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended September 30, 2006, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, paydowns, market discount reclassifications and PFIC adjustments were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund’s net assets as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized | | Paid-In Capital | |
$ 880,559 | | $ | (1,927,199 | ) | $ | 1,046,640 | |
| | | | | | | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
Distributions paid from: | | | | | |
Ordinary Income* | | $ | 13,028,560 | | $ | 13,757,230 | |
| | | | | | | |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of September 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-term Capital Gains | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | |
$ 1,526,271 | | $ | 13,980,703 | | $ | 52,172,948 | |
| | | | | | | |
* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales, PFTC adjustments and AICPA amortization/accretion adjustments.
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at September 30, 2006, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 58,403,764 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | (6,230,816 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 52,172,948 | |
Capital loss carryforwards of $24,188,434 were utilized during the year ended September 30, 2006
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the “Interpretation”). This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to open tax positions upon initial adoption. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also requires certain expanded disclosures. Management has recently begun to evaluate the application of this Interpretation to the Fund and has not at this time quantified the impact, if any, resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on the Fund’s financial statements.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Advisory Fee
Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“BOA”), is the investment advisor to the Fund and provides administrative and other services. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | | Annual Fee Rate | |
First $1 billion | | 0.55 | % |
$1 billion to $1.5 billion | | 0.50 | % |
Over $1.5 billion | | 0.45 | % |
For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund’s effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Sub-Advisory Fee
Nordea Investment Management North America, Inc. (“NIMNAI”) has been retained by Columbia as sub-advisor to a portion of the Fund. As the sub-advisor, NIMNAI is responsible for daily investment operations, including placing all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for a portion of the Fund. Columbia, from the investment advisory
33
fee it receives, pays NIMNAI a monthly sub-advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net asset value of that portion of the Fund’s assets under management by NIMNAI.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
Columbia is responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Fund under a pricing and bookkeeping agreement. Under a separate agreement (the “Outsourcing Agreement”), Columbia has delegated those functions to State Street Bank and Trust (“State Street”). As a result, the total fees payable under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement are paid to State Street.
Under its pricing and bookkeeping agreement with the Fund, Columbia receives an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on the level of average daily net assets for the month; provided that during any 12-month period, the aggregate fee (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges) shall not exceed $140,000.
Prior to November 1, 2005, Columbia received from the Fund an annual fee of $10,000 paid monthly, and in any month that the Fund’s average daily net assets exceeded $50 million, an additional monthly fee, calculated by taking into account the fees payable to State Street under the Outsourcing Agreement.
The Fund also reimburses Columbia and State Street for out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third parties for pricing the Fund’s portfolio securities and direct internal costs incurred by Columbia in connection with providing fund accounting oversight and monitoring and certain other services. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the effective pricing and bookkeeping fee rate for the Fund, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, was 0.028% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Transfer Agent Fee
Columbia Management Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, provides shareholder services to the Fund and has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent is entitled to receive a fee for its services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.00 per open account plus sub-transfer agent fees (exclusive of BFDS fees) calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to third parties for services to those accounts. Prior to April 1, 2006, the annual rate was $15.23 from November 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006. The Transfer Agent may also retain, as additional compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, IRA trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Fund and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Prior to November 1, 2005, the Transfer Agent received a fee, paid monthly at the annual rate of $28.00 per open account and was reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
The Transfer Agent voluntarily waived $49,261 of its fees for the period October 1, 2005 through October 31, 2005 for the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the effective transfer agent fee rate, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and net of fee waivers for the Fund was 0.14% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees
Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $19,185 on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares and net CDSC fees of $373, $125,136 and $1,074 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.
The Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan (the “Plan”) for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, which requires the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor. The service fee is equal to 0.15% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to the shares issued prior to April 1, 1989 and 0.25% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to outstanding Class A, Class B, and Class C shares issued thereafter. This arrangement results in a service fee that is a blend between the 0.15% and 0.25% annual rates for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Class A, Class B and Class C shares’ effective service fee rate was 0.24%.
34
The Plan also requires the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only.
The CDSC and the distribution fees received from the Plan are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.
Custody Credits
The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as a reduction of total expenses in 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.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Fund, with the exception of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer position. The Fund’s expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer position will not exceed $15,000 per year.
The Fund’s Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets.
Other
Columbia provides certain services to the Fund related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund paid $2,700 to Columbia for such services. This amount is included in “Other expenses” in the Statement of Operations.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
For the year ended September 30, 2006, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $598,570,414 and $705,945,267 respectively, of which $108,369,538 and $84,111,186, respectively, were U.S. Government securities.
Note 6. Securities Lending
The Fund commenced a securities lending program in August, 2006 and may lend its securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Each loan is collateralized by cash, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The collateral received is invested and the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent, is paid to the Fund. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Fund. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.
Note 7. Line of Credit
The Fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed unsecured revolving line of credit provided by State Street Bank and Trust Company. Borrowings are used for temporary or emergency purposes to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their pro-rata portion of the unutilized line of credit. The commitment fee is included in “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
For the year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 8. Advisor Reimbursement due to Trading Error
During the year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund purchased shares of a security due to a trading error. This position was subsequently sold at a loss of $3,091 and the Fund has been reimbursed by Columbia.
Note 9. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital
35
Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) (“Columbia”) and Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (which has been renamed Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (the “Distributor”) (collectively, the “Columbia Group”) entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (the “SEC Order”). The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the “Settlements.” The Settlements contain substantially the same terms and conditions as outlined in the agreements in principle which Columbia Group entered into with the SEC and NYAG in March 2004.
Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group agreed among other things, to: pay $70 million in disgorgement and $70 million in civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group’s applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures; and retain an independent distribution consultant (see below). The Columbia Funds have also voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees. The NYAG Settlement also, among other things, requires Columbia and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain Columbia Funds, (including the former Nations Funds) and other mutual funds collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.
Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC order, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC. The independent distribution consultant has been in consultation with the staff of the SEC and has submitted a proposed plan of distribution. The SEC has released the proposed plan of distribution for public notice and comment but has not yet approved a final plan of distribution.
As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds.
A copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005.
In connection with the events described in detail above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its affiliated entities and/or Bank of America and its affiliated entities.
On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia, the Distributor, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law.
On February 25, 2005, Columbia and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims in the pending cases. On March 1, 2006, for reasons stated in the court’s memoranda dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all of the class action claims pending against the Columbia Funds Trusts and the Columbia Acorn Trust. As to Columbia and the Distributor, the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, the claims under Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“ICA”) and the state law claims were dismissed. The claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims under Section 36(b) of the ICA were not dismissed.
36
On March 21, 2005, a purported class action was filed in Massachusetts state court alleging that the conduct, including market timing, entitles Class B shareholders in certain Columbia funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption (“the CDSC Lawsuit”). The CDSC Lawsuit has been removed to federal court in Massachusetts and the federal Judicial Panel has transferred the CDSC Lawsuit to the MDL.
On April 4, 2006, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a term sheet containing the principal terms of a stipulation of settlement that would settle all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. On April 6, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland stayed all actions with respect to these Columbia-related claims.
The MDL is ongoing. Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any fund, if any, cannot currently be made.
In 2004, certain Columbia funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, advisers and affiliated entities were named as defendants in certain purported shareholder class and derivative actions making claims, including claims under the ICA and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and state law. The suits allege, inter alia, that the fees and expenses paid by the funds are excessive and that the advisers and their affiliates inappropriately used fund assets to distribute the funds and for other improper purposes. On March 2, 2005, the actions were consolidated in the Massachusetts federal court as In re Columbia Entities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on June 9, 2005. On November 30, 2005, the judge dismissed all claims by plaintiffs and ordered that the case be closed. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on December 30, 2005 and this appeal is pending.
This matter is ongoing. Accordingly, no estimate can be made of the financial impact, if any, of this litigation on any fund.
For the year ended September 30, 2006, Columbia has assumed $6,165 of legal, consulting services and Trustees’ fees incurred by the Fund in connection with these matters.

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 Columbia Liberty Fund (the “Fund”) (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at September 30, 2006, 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 three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The financial highlights of the Fund for fiscal periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2003 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated November 14, 2003 expressed an unqualified opinion on those highlights.

(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 Po licy 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 Director of Board Administration 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 Director of Board Administration 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 September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 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 September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 are approximately as follows:
2006 | | 2005 | |
$ 484,000 | | $ 179,400 | |
(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. Schedule of Investments
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.

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 have not been any material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors, since those procedures were last disclosed in response to requirements of Item 7(d)(2)(ii)(G) of Schedule 14A or this Item.
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 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.
